| It Is What It Is: A fake app hyped on Twitter turned into a fundraiser for racial justice causes Posted: 27 Jun 2020 03:06 PM PDT  An inside joke about a TikTok meme among a group of friends on Twitter grew into a minor social media mystery before morphing into a fundraiser for anti-racism causes. Yes, that might be the most 2020 sentence I've written to date. On Thursday, the eye-mouth-eye emoji meme started appearing in people's Twitter handles and almost immediately, the buzz started about what it all meant, Gizmodo reported. On TikTok, the meme is usually used to express cringe or embarrassment. Soon an itiseyemoutheye Twitter handle appeared, then its website was featured on Product Hunt (even though there's no actual product), prompting discussion on Reddit, and receiving some media coverage before the group revealed themselves in a post late Friday.

| Twitter promises to fine-tune its 5G coronavirus labeling after unrelated tweets were flagged Posted: 27 Jun 2020 12:07 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitter says it's working on improving how it labels tweets with problematic 5G or coronavirus content, after users reported their tweets were being mislabeled with a COVID-19 fact-check. "In the last few weeks, you may have seen Tweets with labels linking to additional info about COVID-19," Twitter Support tweeted. "Not all of those Tweets had potentially misleading content associating COVID-19 and 5G."

| Google to add background blur, captioning, and low-light mode to Meet video calls Posted: 27 Jun 2020 09:51 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google Meet is working on several new features that will match its competitors, including allowing users to add images or a blur effect to backgrounds on video calls, 9to5 Google reported. As they can on rival videoconferencing platforms Zoom and Microsoft Teams, users will be able to either choose their own image or pick from several default options. Google confirmed to The Verge that in addition to background blur and background replacement images, real-time captioning, low-light mode, hand-raising, and a tile view of up to 49 meeting participants will be rolled out to the consumer version of Meet. The company didn't provide details about when the changes would be available, but 9to5 Google reported Meet was already previewing some of... |
| Go read this ProPublica story about a scheme to relabel non-medical masks for emergency workers Posted: 27 Jun 2020 08:33 AM PDT  Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images As the coronavirus spread across the US this spring, authorities warned people not to purchase N95 respirator masks, lest they contribute to a shortage of the masks for medical personnel. The N95 respirators are considered the most effective masks to filter out droplets in the air that may transmit the virus. Sites like Amazon suspended sales of N95 masks to the general public and cracked down on sellers who tried to sell counterfeit versions. But a ProPublica investigation uncovered an operation in Texas that was repackaging masks marked as "prohibited" for medical use into unlabeled bags. A man who answered an ad for a TaskRabbit gig told ProPublica what he witnessed:

| 11 new trailers to watch this week Posted: 27 Jun 2020 07:00 AM PDT  Image: Apple TV Plus I've been making my way through Studio Ghibli films now that they're up on HBO Max, and last week I got around to watching Kiki's Delivery Service for the first time. It's a remarkably charming film, and it shows Ghibli coming a long way in figuring out what, uh, plot is after the extremely bare bones My Neighbor Totoro came out just a year earlier. Kiki's Delivery Service adds just enough stakes to Ghibli's beautiful worlds to make you care about what's happening, but not so much to actually get you stressed out. The film is serene to watch — almost every character is remarkably nice and generous, the landscapes are gorgeous, and the talking cat doesn't hurt either. Check out 11 trailers from this week below.
