I watched it all happen from the Air Canada lounge a total stranger had let me and my 7 month old daughter into. A lovely woman saw me ask the staff if there was a day rate, and she came up and said "I have a pass, I'll let you in." she didn't even go in, herself. Just let us in. I got to sit, and rest, and have water and juice etc. I am so grateful for her because I was already tired and thirsty by that point, and the day was about to get much longer.
We were only still there, in Toronto, because the potty on our plane froze, and we got delayed so ground crew could defrost it. They had started pre boarding me when we got delayed originally. The baby and I had been walking through the tunnel to the ramp with a crew member when they announced the first delay.
That's why, when the cancellation occurred, they'd already taken my carseat/stroller. We'd been half boarded already, and when il they announced the timeline of the delay I had meandered to the gate, and then the lounge trusting we'd follow it to the plane shortly.
Our scheduled departure had been 2pm. It got rolled to 4, but at about 3:15, just before our planned boarding time, the crash happened. We all watched as the boards started rolling through flight after flight, cancelled. Every international flight in the airport, cancelled for hours. The first one to leave again didn't get into the air for around 4 hours after the issue.
It was chaos, they'd essentially lost my carseat in a sea of baggage as all like 15 cancalled flights worth of bags got pooled into 4 carousels and nobody knew where anything was. I was struggling to hold my daughter, because at this point it had been 4 or 5 hours without anywhere substantial to sit in the crowds as there were easily 400+ people with cancelled flights in the baggage area alone. It was wall to wall, and luggage was being pulled off of carousels and dumped into piles on the ground so they could load more on.
I decided to go wait in the oversized items area. It was secluded and only about ten of us in a small room with its own bay, and I was told carseats would be directed there. Just outside, however, there were some middle aged guys blasting a Bluetooth speaker with dad rock (I admit, pretty good taste in music) so loud it was vibrating through the small room and kept waking the baby up. I admit, I had become fed up. I got so mad, I went over intending to scold them about being considerate of others. Once I got there, though, I managed to get out that it kept waking the baby and my resolve just shattered. I started to tell them about the situation, crying, trying to explain that we were stuck, that I didn't know how we'd get anywhere in either direction, and that I just wanted her to sleep so at least she could miss the worst of this.
They were a boisterous group but instead of getting mad they apologized, turned it down, and decided to help.They asked my name and an hour later my stroller came out and when it did they split up, located me coming from changing the baby, and delivered it. They loaded all my luggage on a cart, they told me to take care of that baby, and sent me on my way up to go talk to Air Canada.
I waited in one line for an hour to be told they were helping with baggage issues only. We walked across the airport and up three levels to another line that the first desk told us would help. We waited, just to be told by the agent in the Family Line that he had families to help check in, he wasn't responsible to assist us, and to go use a courtesy phone to call Air Canada. I told him I'd already called 5 times and had been disconnected the first four, and had been on hold over an hour so far the fifth. I asked for a meal voucher, at least, and was told that they didn't cause the crash so they weren't liable and to get out of his line.
Initially feeling defeated I went to go sit down, wait on hold, and cry. Eventually, my spirit came back. I couldn't accept this without another try or I was going to be stuck overnight in an airport with a seven month old, one clean bottle, a half pack of wipes and only ten diapers. So I found who I believe to be his manager.
Initially he tried saying the same thing but i unleashed the whole story. Cried and implored him to help, talking about how telling people to call only matters if your phone lines aren't so busy they automatically disconnect people. I said, I'm about to be stranded in an airport overnight with my baby with ten diapers and one clean bottle left and how at this point that's his team's fault. I begged him to help us.
He asked where I wanted to go. I said Charlotte would be perfect, home to Edmonton would be better than here. He found that there were no remaining flights to Charlotte in the next three days and no hotels that they had agreements with had rooms left. He said a flight back to Edmonton had been delayed three hours from its original departure, which gave me an hour to get through customs and on it, if I wanted. I jumped on it and he put me in the last seat.
By this point, he could see I was struggling. So manager guy took my bags and walked me across the terminal to security. There, the accessibility assistant (shout out to Calvin with CATSA in Toronto) walked me all the way through tsa, loaded and unloaded my bags for them. Literally wheeled me into the elevator past TSA and pushed the button, so all I had to do alone at that point was walk in a straight line to my gate.
It was a good flight, all told. I ended up with a space next to me, and the guy on the aisle liked babies. She slept through the flight and I dozed lightly, still holding her. We landed at approximately 12am on the 18th. We got home shortly after 1 am, and we're in bed by about 2. We'd left for the airport at 2am on the 17th, so this ordeal stretched very close to a whole 24hrs.
I am grateful for the many hands along the way that checked in on us including a local lady who gave me her number to let her know if we got somewhere safe, another mom who offered me a bottle of water, and the other family from Alberta who sent her teenager to look for the carseat early on. I am so thankful to the Air Canada employee who did, finally, help us. To Calvin with CATSA. To the guys who found my carseat. And to the all the other people behind the scenes who helped us get home again safely. My thoughts are with the passengers impacted by the crash and their families, as well. This is just our story amidst the chaos of the February 17th Toronto crash.

Person of Interest
Min Hee-Jin; 45 years old, with experience in music production and artistic direction. She is most known for her work in two of the biggest K-pop companies SM and HYBE.
She was formerly the CEO of ADOR, a HYBE subsidiary, until being forced to resign (seen in GIF above) by its parent company HYBE in August 27, 2024 due to a power struggle for control of the company.
Although stepping down from her ADOR position, Min Hee-Jin was responsible for Newjeans during the creation and most successful periods of the group's career.
Online, Min Hee-Jin is also known as a suspected groomer who uses her position of power to her advantage.
NewJeans TLDR
NewJeans is a fairly new K-pop group, debuting in 2022, owned by HYBE. Being decently popular, they broke some records (ex. Fastest K-pop act to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify at March 2023), and are one of the most popular female groups of 4th generation K-pop.
There are 5 members; Danielle, Haerin, Hanni, Hyein, and Minji.
Member's ages at debut:
Minji at 18 years old
Hanni and Danielle at 17 years old
Haerin at 16 years old
and Hyein at 14 years old
South Korean law dictates that anyone below the age of 19 is considered a minor.
It's not uncommon for K-pop companies to debut idols as young as 15, so Hyein being 14 at time of debut isn't entirely strange if we look at K-pop as a whole,
but we should keep this in mind.
WeirdJeans
Cookie is NewJeans' third single following their debut, releasing in August of 2022. It was recieved with success as well as controversy by K-pop fans due to the nature of the song combined with the ages of NewJeans members, who were considered to be minors by Korean law at the time of this song's release and stage performances.
- Lyrics
Anyone can tell that this song isn't actually about cookies, but ADOR wants people to believe it's about baking CDs. Yeah, right... 
"Numerous doctors in English literature, interpreters and native speakers told us that 'cookie' is not widely used sexual slang," Ador said in a statement. "So the term itself cannot be a problem, although its interpretations can differ depending on people's subjective experiences. However, slang is not part of standard language that everyone should know about."
https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2022/08/398_335158.html
A comment on Cookie's YouTube video:
This is clearly an incredibly dark and cruel industry if the company felt more than comfortable giving a young girl group a song like this. I pray these girls stay blessed and protected despite the dangers of fame..
- Outfits and stage
A revealing imitation of a Korean school uniform worn by one of the members during the Cookie MV and Inkigayo stage.
The stage is made to look like a classroom and the girls are students.
In another MV, NewJeans' debut single Attention, the youngest member of the group who was 14 at the time was chosen for the most revealing outfit. Older member's outfits cover them more.
Hyein, 14, and Minji, 18.
** Preliminary Evidence **
Before her executive director role for NewJeans at HYBE, Min Hee-Jin was a creative director for a different K-pop company; SM, working closely with a group called f(x). It's believed that Min Hee-Jin, who was responsible for f(x), is still close with Krystal, the youngest member of the group who debuted at 14 years old.
In an interview with Krystal and Min Hee-Jin by GQ magazine this is said:
Who is Brooke Shields? (this is Important)
Brooke Shields is an American actress (born in 1965, now 59) who may also be known for the controversies surrounding her child modeling career.
It's believed that Brooke was exploited as a child model, with two of the most notable events being;
Modeling nude at 10 years old for Playboy.
Playing the role of a child prostitute at 12 years old in a movie called Pretty Baby.
Knowing about this interaction between Min Hee-Jin and Krystal, it's notable to mention that Min Hee-Jin also had a private interaction with Hyein. Krystal and Hyein share parallels, like being the youngest member of a group Min Hee-Jin had great influence in. They were both 14 when Min Hee-Jin met with them in a casual setting. In an interview with BE(ATTITUDE) Magazine, Min Hee-Jin says this;
She (Hyein) came to my (Min Hee-Jin) home one day and we ate together, went to the bookstore, and walked around the neighborhood, talking about this and that. There was a passing awkwardness, but after a while it felt like I was taking a walk with a friend. She's got so many talents and amazing skills. She's young, but thoughtful, with that innocence they have at that age.
"That innocence they have at that age."
Evil Gooncave
Min Hee-Jin's apartment itself raises some concern because it's like a creep's paradise. People noticed some strange choices in her decorations, like
- Pictures of Brooke Shields during her child modeling career. "Baby Brooke" is a nickname referencing the movie Pretty Baby she was in.
- Pictures of unknown, but clearly very young, girls posing topless and bottomless.
- Histoire de Melody Nelson, an album by Serg Gainsbourg. The album's story is about the relationship between a 14 year old girl and an adult man where he takes her virginity.
- A scandalous shot taken from Le Farò Da Padre (I'll Take Her Like a Father). The movie is about an older man who has a relationship with an r-slured and hypersexual teen girl.
Knowing that Min Hee-Jin is in a position of power over teen girls, is it appropriate for her to be taking them to her home and spending time alone with them in a casual setting?
Min Hee-Jin has never been called out on her apparent interest in teenage girls publicly, but would she have been if she was a man?
Is her interest in exploited child stars just a coincidence?
But most of all, why do famous and rich people always have to be into the weirdest shit?

A tale as old as hardware requring online-services: Extremely predictable product failure ends with the rug pulled from under anyone dumb to buy it.
For those that don't know, this is an AI pin. Imagine a smartphone without the screen or really any interface, without all the functionality of a phone, which still needs to pair to your phone or have a separate cellular connection + montly fee to use the subscription AI service to interface with basically any features. And all the features are just asking a LLM things, and asking the thing to identify shit that you hold in front of the camera. Oh yeah, and it costs approximately as much as a mid-range smart phone.
The broad strokes:
Humane, creator of the Ai Pin that received a wave of negative user reviews, is shutting down and selling its assets to HP for $116 million.
HP will get Humane's artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform called Cosmos, its technical staff and intellectual property with more than 300 patents and patent applications, Humane announced Tuesday (Feb. 18). The Humane team will form HP's new innovation lab, HP IQ.
The HP acquisition marks a swift downfall for the AI wearable, which began shipping less than a year ago. It was aiming for sales of 100,000 units but fell far short at 10,000. Now, the startup is telling Ai Pin owners that their devices will stop working after Feb. 28, and all stored data will be deleted.
Humane was founded by Apple executives Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, who are married. The startup raised $230 million since its 2018 inception, according to Crunchbase. Its investors included Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank and Microsoft.
Someone once said you can use Time's 30 under 30 to figure out who will be indicted for corporate fraud in the next 10 years nearly without fail. You can probably do something similar with this best invention thing and failed products.
Once named a Time magazine best invention of the year, the Ai Pin disappointed users who complained about malfunctions, its high price and overheating problems. Due to sluggish sales, the Ai Pin had to cut its price from $699 to $499. Users also had to pay $24 a month excluding taxes and fees for connectivity and cloud storage.
The Future? HP is still bloated and directionless, and thinks it has Apple money to waste on shit. HP has no idea what it's doing and is just going to mash AI into everything and hope it sticks/adds value somehow. Probably just wanted this shit company for patents.
For HP, the deal marks a significant step in its strategic transformation toward experience-driven computing and AI-powered devices.
"This investment will rapidly accelerate our ability to develop a new generation of devices that seamlessly orchestrate AI requests both locally and in the cloud," Tuan Tran, president of technology and innovation at HP, said in a statement.
HP plans to integrate Humane's AI capabilities across its entire product line, from AI-enabled PCs to smart printers and connected conference rooms.
THE FUNNY- The Humane FAQ page
1. Why is Humane discontinuing the Ai Pin?
We are winding down the Ai pin as we are moving onto new endeavors. We will share more in the future. Thank you for your support throughout this journey.
Translation: we suck, lol
2. When will the Ai Pin stop working?
Your Ai Pin will continue functioning normally until February 28, 2025, at 12:00pm PST. After this time, it will no longer connect to Humane's servers, and .Center access will be fully retired.
YOU DON'T EVEN GET A 2 WEEK NOTICE for your 700 dollar piece of shit
3. What will happen to the Charge Case recall?
Due to the Ai Pin service shutdown, we will no longer be providing the replacement Charge Case as originally planned. If you previously chose to wait for a replacement instead of receiving a refund, you will automatically receive a refund for the portion of your original purchase price that was allocated to the Charge Case after February 28, 2025.
Even the recall is canceled. Good luck charging your useless brick, lol
2. Will I receive a refund for my Ai Pin?
Refunds are only available for customers who are still within the 90-day return window from their original shipment date. You are eligible to receive a refund if your product shipped on or after November 15th, 2024. All device shipments prior to November 15th, 2024 are not eligible for refunds. All refunds must be submitted by February 27th, 2025
Eat shit. Although 90 days is a large percentage of the time that the product was for sale, I'm assuming most of the sales were in the initial hype window.
1. Will my Ai Pin work with another cellular provider after the shutdown?
No. Once the service is discontinued, your Ai Pin will no longer function as a cellular device or connect to Humane's servers. This means no calls, texts, or data usage will be possible.
It won't even connect to the internet after this
And the best one
3. Can I still use my Ai Pin for offline features?
Yes. After February 28, 2025, Ai Pin will still allow for offline features like battery level, etc., but will not include any function that requires cloud connectivity like voice interactions, AI responses, and .Center access.
The only offline feature they could think of was checking the battery level
Anyway, if you bought one of these, LMAO sucker.

Don't get me wrong I want change in the livestock industry (which you can see in my other comments). Yes I believe that can be benevolent, wether it is not now is what needs to be changed.
