When Meta (Facebook) Takes Over
Before Meta Platforms became the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, the platform originated as a small project created by Harvard students to help college peers connect. Over time, it evolved into a global network used not only by students but also by celebrities, musicians, filmmakers, influencers, and individuals seeking to build or maintain relationships. In 2021, the company rebranded as Meta, signaling a broader focus on emerging technologies.

The Hum of Taos: The low-frequency noise heard by 2% of the population that has no known source.
The pressure started behind my molars, a rhythmic, subsonic pulse that felt less like a sound and more like the earth itself was trying to grind its teeth. It wasn't loud. It wasn't even audible in the traditional sense. It was a thick, visceral vibration that crawled up through the soles of my boots and settled in the soft tissue of my throat. In the high, thin air of Taos, New Mexico, the silence is supposed to be absolute. It is a desert of sagebrush, high-altitude light, and obsidian. But for the "Hearers," the silence is a lie. They describe it as a diesel engine idling three blocks away. You go to the window. You look at the street. Empty. You put your ear to the drywall. The wall is cold. Silent.
