🌍 World Monitor - Real-Time Global Intelligence Dashboard

World Monitor & WIRED

“The system ingests 100-plus data streams simultaneously,” Habib notes.

This is incredibly cool.

The visual is stunning, and the whole idea of just having a dashboard of all major events happening across the globe is insane.

NY Times

Mr. Sala [the Mayor of Milan] added: “Bringing to Milan a militia which distinguished itself — this is not my opinion — with criminal acts, which kills, which enters in the homes of American citizens without authorization, I do not think that that is a good idea.”

This is insane. The Olympic Committee and Italian government should ban America from the Olympic Games—and other countries should boycott the World Cup in North America (as should the US team).
