Mark Zuckerberg showed off Facebook's VR platform on Monday with a "tone-deaf" trip to Puerto Rico:
Mark Zuckerberg put on an Oculus Rift this afternoon and used Facebook's new virtual reality platform, Facebook Spaces, to transport himself to Puerto Rico, the Moon, and his house. He broadcast the moment live on Facebook in what turned out to be a rather strange demo of a social platform that doesn't have a clear use yet. In particular, Zuckerberg's choice of locations emphasized just how odd it'll be to watch other people in any sort of serious situation in virtual reality.
Zuckerberg's first stop, along with Facebook social VR chief Rachel Franklin, was to Puerto Rico, where he stood in front of a 360-degree video from NPR documenting the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. He used the opportunity to discuss what Facebook is doing to aid relief — matching donations, sharing data with the Red Cross — but it was all pretty strange to watch for what perhaps should have been an obvious reason: Zuckerberg was represented by a floating cartoon character.
Up next: Puerto Ricans and homeless Californians tour Mark Zuckerberg's home at 1456 Edgewood Dr, Palo Alto, CA 94301.

Yup. That's the term. (No need to hyphenate it.)
Hillary, [Debbie Wasserman-Schultz], etc. It's probably the main reason they lost so badly last year.
No "probably" about it.
Folks who voted for Bernie (on the Blue ticket) in the primary, voted for Trump or just stayed home in November rather than vote for Killery.
...and when the "new" Congress convened after the election, whom did the reelect as leaders?
Neoliberal Nancy Pelosi and Neoliberal Chuck Schumer.
Similar deal with choosing the new head of the DNC.
They got creamed and still they didn't learn a thing.
I can't think of a good reason that Joe Average or Jill Average would vote for Killery
(or pretty much any Dumbocrat).
When Slick Willie handed off the healthcare initiative to her in the 1990s, she muffed that.
I can't think of a single thing she has ever proposed[1] that supports her claims of being a feminist.
[1] The 3 things the she did sponsor in the senate and which got passed were all to rename a public building after a Democrat.
...meanwhile she calls the men of Black women "superpredators" and wants to build more prisons and send even more people of color to them.
Why anyone of color or any female would vote for this bitch is a complete mystery to me.
On jobs, he's no different than O'Bummer (lousy: supports NAFTA and TPP).
I can't think of a single thing she has ever done that makes life better for working people who don't have multiple college degrees.
...meanwhile she has made speeches to investment bankers and was paid $150,000 each for those, demonstrating that she's pro-Wall Street and perfectly willing to sell out workers.
...and the bitch REALLY wants to start a war with Iran (which has lived up to every bit of the nuclear agreement they signed--an agreement that Donnie Tiny Hands is about to kill).
If the 42 percent of people who didn't cast a ballot in November had become more informed, they would have voted for peace and Green jobs (Jill Stein)--not Drumpf and not Killery.
...then again, if they'd all become EVEN BETTER INFORMED and voted for Jerry White of the Socialist Equality Party, just imagine.
...and if Bernie does run again in 2020 (again: the post popular politician in the country), you just watch the Dumbocrats (DNC; superdelegates) stab him in the back yet again.
The only chance Bernie has to win is to form a 3rd party--and he won't do that.
