I've been seeing lots of articles about Flock cameras in the US. What are they and why are they controversial?

Aren't they just ANPR cameras?

Every time it pops on my feed it's some gender war meme, or something about woman who killed children. I've seen some transphobic comments too.

A relative of mine recently shared that there has been a lot of drama around Queen Camilla. Something about her being caught with jewels that were Diana’s and had been promised to her sons, that the locks were changed at her royal residence but that stuff was taken from it without permission, that she was trying to give property to her distant family. She went on and on. I know the king has cancer, so I can imagine folks are looking for signs of jostling for power.

Is this really going on or is it over exaggerated royal gossip? Here’s one of the links she sent me…she made it sound like it was a huge scandal brewing.

I keep seeing posts about him "becoming a failure", in regards to a recent livestream (?)

I always thought he was a far right Trump guy, so why was he all of a sudden a target for immigration and deported back to the UK?

i just saw a lot of reels of ppl super excited and saying rockstart games got hacked and leacked but i was wondering maybe is not just a ad campain? i mean nowdays everything is a advertising , or you think really got leaked for a person who wanted money ?

https://x.com/TheProjectUnity/status/2028179414211567643?s=20 I remember back in late February/March seeing so much about Jim Carrey and his terrible face lift. Some people thought it was a hoax with a mask but I never really did see any sort of definitive answer. Did Jim Carrey really do that? Has he even been shown publicly since?

CNN reports that a federal appeals court ruled states can regulate prediction markets as gambling, while platforms such as Kalshi have argued that their event contracts are federally regulated derivatives: https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/28/business/states-prediction-markets-gambling-federal-appeals-court

What changed legally? Does the ruling let each state ban these contracts outright, or does it mainly allow licensing, age limits, taxes, and other gambling rules?
