A Crisis of Trust
It's never a bad day to be a billionaire. That goes without saying. However, Mark Zuckerberg, has had—by any measure—a no good, very bad 2018! From the use of Facebook by the Russians to interfere in the U.S. elections—and beyond—to the controversies over everything from hacking to cloning Facebook accounts and now to the recent revelation that Facebook had been allowing companies like Netflix and Spotify to not just access users' friends lists and other pertinent info, along with their private messages, the social media giant is truly testing the age-old adage that "there's no such thing as bad publicity!"

The website claims that non-erotic nude art is safe, but Instagram user (and painter) Dan Lacey (aka danlaceythepainterofpancakes) can tell you firsthand that this exception is a lie. The cut-off date is also a lie, as there have been several sex workers and non-sex work creators/users who've been flagged and/or have had things removed from their blogs the moment that the first decree was released. Not to mention, they're marked as NSFW whether they want to be or not. Repeat offenders are set to be removed completely.

The Nuheara IQbuds Boost Are the Future of Hearing Aids
Slowly but surely, I'm pretty sure I'm going deaf. I could maybe blame that fact on attending concerts as frequently as I do, maybe it's just bad genes, or it could be because I had a major tendency to listen to music at a blisteringly-loud level for most of my teen years. Either way, I've started to notice the toll it took on me lately.
