Meta’s AI-powered Ray-Ban smart glasses are reportedly collecting sensitive user data, including intimate footage, which is then reviewed by workers in Nairobi, Kenya, according to a Swedish newspaper.
The glasses, which allow users to activate an AI assistant with voice commands, process images, and record short videos, rely on a subcontractor, Sama, to train AI systems.
At 8:16 a.m. on August 10, 2019, an anonymous 4Chan user posted, “don’t ask me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago from hanging, cardiac arrest. Screencap this.”
It was the first public indication that Epstein, awaiting trial for sex-trafficking charges in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, died while in the custody of the Department of Justice, BuzzFeed News reported at the time.
It beat ABC News journalist Aaron Katersky’s post about Epstein’s death on Twitter, now known as X, by 38 minutes. A few minutes later, the ABC News website published the first article about Epstein’s apparent suicide in jail.
The newly released Epstein files show that the Justice Department tried to identify the 4Chan user behind the posts — but couldn’t figure it out.
The documents show the Justice Department subpoenaed 4Chan for the user’s IP addresses four days after the posts were made as part of the FBI’s investigation into Epstein’s death.
Did you hear the one that Jeffrey Epstein was still alive playing Fortnite? You probably did. It’s an online rumor. It’s being reported in mainstream news. But there’s also reporting that Epic Games has attempted to debunk the notion.
We’ll explain. Or try to.
What Actually Happened
The speculation began after recently released DOJ documents related to Jeffrey Epstein included a reference to a YouTube username reportedly linked to him: “littlestjeff1.”
Around the same time, online sleuths noticed that a Fortnite account using the same name appeared on third-party tracking sites. Some of those tracking sites showed gameplay statistics extending beyond Epstein’s reported death in August 2019 .. and even into more recent seasons!
That was enough to ignite the everything that needed to be to make this into a story.
Adding to the intrigue, people began circulating claims that the account had purchased V-Bucks (Fortnite’s in-game currency) in 2019. Screenshots and stat pages were shared widely. Then, as attention intensified, the account reportedly went private which only fueled further speculation.
Epic Games has publicly stated that the account in question is not Jeffrey Epstein. According to reporting, a regular player changed their display name to “littlestjeff1” after the Epstein documents were released. Third-party tracking websites show current display names, not historical ownership records — meaning a name match does not equal identity confirmation.
Epic also reportedly stated they have no record tying Epstein’s known email addresses to any Fortnite account.
There is no verified evidence that Epstein had an active Fortnite account, and no evidence that he is alive playing the game.
As if that wasn’t enough, the UK Daily Mail published a photo that some online commentators claim resembles Epstein — older, with facial hair, appearing in a casual outdoor setting. Predictably, the image began circulating alongside the Fortnite rumors.
But again, resemblance alone is not verification.
There has been no credible authentication of the photo as showing Epstein, and no official confirmation supporting claims that he survived his 2019 death. Viral images, especially in high-profile cases, can spread rapidly before context or verification catches up.
The Bigger Picture
Online communities will continue to sleuth. That’s what we do. And rumors will continue to be generated, that’s also what happens from sleuthing.
But what’s important is that as a human species we need more answers.
However the investigation is over. So we won’t get them, at least from law enforcement..
The lack of further investigation of the files makes that even more painful. Gaps invite speculation. Silence invites narrative. And in the age of screenshots and stat trackers, coincidence can look like confirmation in seconds.
Bill Gates issued an apology today regarding his past association with Jeffrey Epstein, acknowledging that the relationship was a serious error in judgment.
During an exclusive interview, Gates addressed renewed scrutiny surrounding documents that have recently resurfaced. He did not explicitly deny reports about an alleged email referencing a sexually transmitted disease and medication given to his ex-wife. Instead, he claimed the message in question was only a draft and was never actually sent.
At the same time, his ex-wife has publicly stated that the renewed attention is bringing back painful memories.
However, neither side in the divorce has confirmed or denied the specific allegations being circulated including claims involving a woman and an alleged STD connected to the Microsoft founder.
The larger backdrop to all of this is massive: the files tied to the Epstein investigation reportedly total 3.1 million pages. As people continue combing through the documents, it’s clear that more revelations and more reverberations are likely still to come.
Timothy Busfield, the actor and director, turned himself in to the authorities in New Mexico on Tuesday and was booked on charges of child sex abuse, the Albuquerque police said. The case involves two boys who were appearing on a television drama that he was producing in New Mexico.
This is developing,,
The actor also released a video tape today denying accusations and saying he will fight the charges.
The UK Daily Mail is sending shockwaves through both the Upside Down and the real world with breaking news that Millie Bobby Brown filed a complaint against David Harbour during the filming of Stranger Things Season 5.
According to the report, Millie submitted a formal complaint accusing Harbour of bullying and harassment on set before production began on the show’s fifth and final season. The claims did not involve sexual misconduct. The complaint reportedly triggered a months-long internal investigation by Netflix, but as of now, the outcome has not been made public. Representatives for both actors—and Netflix itself—have declined to comment as we get closer to the December premiere.
What’s also interesting is how little we saw of Hopper in the newly released Season 5 trailer. Maybe that’s coincidence… or maybe there’s more to it. And at this point, it’s unclear who leaked this to the Daily Mail in the first place. Was this someone with an axe to grind? Or was the story simply too juicy to keep locked away in the Rainbow Room?
All jokes aside, the real question will be whether this has any impact on the rollout of Season 5 this month—and again near Christmas when the final installments hit. It could be a blip on the radar of the Demogorgons, or it could become a bigger conversation depending on how the public reacts.
It’s worth noting that Hollywood has seen a wave of bullying and toxic set culture allegations in recent years—Nickelodeon being a big example. Major stars and even directors have faced serious backlash as these stories have come out. And now, it appears that Hopper is the one being accused by Eleven of crossing lines behind the scenes.
We’ll be watching how this plays out… right along with the rest of the fandom.
Tmz and other sources are reporting that Trump will insert himself into Diddy…
Donald Trump is considering commuting Diddy’s sentence as early as this week, according to a high-ranking White House official.
According to our source, the President is “vacillating” on a commutation. We’re told some of the W.H. staff are urging Trump not to commute the sentence. But, our source states the obvious — “Trump will do what he wants,” and we’re told Trump could set Diddy free as early as this week
“I learned my lesson the hardest way possible,” he said. “I was a good father throughout. The one thing I can say that people do say about me was that I was a good father. But I would be a better father—a lot better father.”
“We have a tablet, we get movies, normally six months later,” Weinstein explained. “And my son said to me, ‘Hey dad, I don’t believe that Captain America [Brave New World] is gonna be a good movie.’ And I say, ‘No. no, it looks good, I’ve heard it’s good go see it.’”
“He went and saw it and he said, ‘Dad, it was terrible,’” Weinstein recalled. “And then I finally saw and I had to call him on the phone and said, ‘You know what, you’re right, it was terrible.’”
“You don’t get your shirts, you don’t get your socks, you don’t get your underwear. The food is rancid. I mean it is really awful.”
The shadowy object moves up the stairs to Epstein’s cell block at the Metropolitan Correctional Center around 10:40 p.m. the night before the 66-year-old convicted sex trafficker was found hanged.
Federal investigators previously said the pixelated blob was a corrections officer “carrying linen or inmate clothing,” but forensic experts who spoke to the network as part of an investigation into the jail video now suspect it may have actually been a jumpsuit clad inmate.
“To say that there’s no way that someone could get to that, the stairs up to his room, without being seen is false,” video forensic expert Jim Safford told CBS, with his view shared by four other leading experts.
The footage also doesn’t appear to be raw, with the outlet reporting it’s likely a screen recording — evidenced by a cursor and menu visible on the screen. The video feed also skipped ahead a full minute just before midnight, and its aspect ratio abruptly shifted.

CBS also reports,
The Justice Department said the FBI seized the prison’s digital video recorder system, or DVR, containing the raw footage five days after Epstein’s death. When federal officials released the jail video, they attested that it was “raw footage,” but the presence of a cursor and onscreen menu raise questions about that. Experts told CBS News those images indicate the video was likely a screen recording rather than an export directly from a DVR system.
There is plenty of scandal still around.. but the stalwarts of celeb reporting are slowly vanishing.. The latest is E! NEWS.. the bold exclamation point and the series of gossip stories about the rich and famous.. It is now a bygone era. It will end and air its final broadcast on September 25..
Launched in 1991, its innovation was that it took showbiz as seriously as CNN took politics and crime. In doing so, E! News helped popularize the modern fixation on a side of Hollywood once meant for industry eyes only — everything from celebrity bad behavior to box office grosses.
E! anchor told the REPORTER:
“There was that time, like 2008 to 2012 — the Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears era, going to Kitson on Robertson,” Kennedy reminisces. “It’s almost like an untouchable time in entertainment news, and I was just lucky to be a part of it.”
Some of his most memorable stories involved celebrity deaths. “I think we did 48 hours of live coverage for Michael Jackson,” Kennedy recalls of the pop titan’s fatal propofol overdose in 2009, during which he worked for E! News as a correspondent. “I’ll never forget arriving at the scene at UCLA Medical Center after he died. Thousands of people showed up.”
