This one comes with a video.

“6 People Whose Lives Were Destroyed By Social Media”
This list is not especially good
… but I’m posting it for two reasons:
(1) I object to the use of the passive voice in the headline.
These are six people who destroyed their own lives.
- The first five made the posts that disrupted their lives.
- The last guy did not. He was destroyed by a post made by somebody else, but it was a post of him throwing a public tantrum, so he had only himself to blame. Let’s face it, there are phone cameras and/or security cameras everywhere, so one must assume that all public interactions will be recorded (and many private ones as well).
(2) Carlos Danger!
I haven’t thought about Carlos Danger in years, but now he’s appeared on my radar twice in two days. Today I saw the above list. Yesterday I read that the ex-con and registered sex offender, now 60 years old, is attempting a comeback on New York’s city council.
The Atlantic had a cynical take on this. They suggested semi-facetiously that it doesn’t matter any more because he is already single-handedly responsible for the fall of Western civilization. His sexting scandal re-opened an investigation into Hilary Clinton, which in turn propelled Donald Trump into the White House.
Monika Mrowińska naked in Naked Eye (2023)
Short Polish drama. Original title: Nagie oko
Trying to fill her inner void, a lonely maid is spying on hotel guests. Her desires are fueled by a soap opera she is obsessed with. One day, when the star of the episode she has just seen appears at the hotel, the dreams of the emotion-starved woman start crawling out of her imagination.
“10 of the most secure places on earth”
I was not familiar with this fascinating item from the list:
This bunker 200 feet beneath Iron Mountain houses 1.7 square feet of vaults which contain the charred remains of Flight 93, Edison’s patent for the light bulb, and Princess Diana’s Last Will and Testament. The US government is the biggest tenant, and the identities of 95% of vault owners are confidential. Sony Music, the Smithsonian Institution, and Corbis all have vaults there. Thousands of historic master recordings, photo negatives, and original film reels live here. Iron Mountain is also home to Room 48, a data center backing up some of America’s biggest companies.
Most of the above paragraph is accurate (obviously the 1.7 sq ft is a typo), but I researched this a bit and found that Iron Mountain is not an actual mountain, but the name of a storage company. One of their many storage facilities is a former limestone mine in Boyers, Pennsylvania, and that’s what is pictured in the original link. The company also has many above-ground storage facilities.
The underground facility houses such cultural treasures as the entire Getty photographic collection (25 million historical images), the Universal Music collection, cans full of film, old books, old costumes, etc.
Elon Musk recently spread misinformation about this place.
And then the speed—the limiting factor is the speed—at which the mine-shaft elevator can move determines how many people can retire from the federal government and the elevator breaks down sometimes, and then nobody can retire — doesn’t that sound crazy?
It sounds crazy because it is – so crazy that nobody can figure out where he got this idea. The inefficient processing of government retirements has nothing to do with elevators. The facility does not have an elevator!
The video below is a tour of the facility, as conducted by the company that runs it. It’s a fascinating place!
