Salacious ads are proliferating online. Here are the backstories on some of those teaser photos.

Lately I’ve noticed an increase in suggestive sexual advertising on this website (Tech-media-tainment) and others such as tech news site 9to5Mac.
The ads feature provocative photos of attractive women with teaser descriptions in classic clickbait fashion. Using my online detective skills (namely reverse image search tools), I’ve uncovered the backstories on some of those pictures.

Actress in super short skirt

One ad is titled “Make Sure You Are Alone Before You See These (sic) Actress Without Any Pants.”
The photo with the ad appears to be an altered image of actress and singer-songwriter Aly Michalka on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on April 25, 2011.
The image in the ad shows her with a shorter skirt than in photos from the show. (Getty Images from the show: here and here.)

Video gamer Danielle Mackey

Another ad shows video game vlogger Danielle Mackey and is wrongly titled “Teachers in bikini leaves nothing to imagination.” The poor grammar is a sign of foreign involvement in the ad.

Hot teachers are hot subject

These ads seem to have a fixation on sexy teachers wearing inappropriate outfits.
For instance, one titled “Teacher flaunts shocking curves in transparent outfit photos.” That ad used photos of different women with the same headline. The pictures showed sexy models and apparently porn actresses.
I could find one image for sale on eBay as “Sexy Girl Big Busty Female Teacher,” but the model is not identified.

Sexy country girls another fetish

Based on the advertisements, sexy country girls are another fetish. One ad titled “Country girls leave nothing to imagination” used a photo of English broadcaster and journalist Kate Garraway.

Nip slips always an attention grabber

Another ad titled “These marriage photos are a feast for your eyeballs” used a photo of a woman wearing a wedding gown with her breast exposed.

MILFs as clickbait

A popular subject for these clickbait advertisements is mature women with large breasts, aka MILFs. Several ads use photos of model named Deauxma, pronounced “Doe-may.”

Song of Summer 2025: ‘Ordinary’ by Alex Warren

Music experts say there was no clear “song of summer” for 2025. There was no one tune that dominated the airwaves and captured the mood of the summer season this year.
Songs on my soundtrack that I enjoyed this summer included “APT.” by Rosé and Bruno Mars, “Pink Pony Club” and “The Subway” by Chappell Roan, “Manchild” by Sabrina Carpenter, “What I Want” by Morgan Wallen featuring Tate McRae, and “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else” by Benson Boone.
Billboard’s Song of Summer chart lists “Ordinary” by Alex Warren as its leader. It was a No. 1 single on the Hot 100 for 10 weeks.
Chart analysts say that 2025 has produced the fewest new hit songs in U.S. history, the Guardian reported. Of the top 10 most-listened-to songs as of July 18 this year in the U.S., only one was released in 2025: “Ordinary” by Alex Warren.
“‘Ordinary’ is the Song of the Summer based on raw chart numbers, but it’s hardly a windows-down beach banger like, say, ‘Espresso.’ It follows the letter, but not the spirit, of the song-of-the-summer law,” Stephen Thompson, writer/editor for NPR Music wrote Aug. 5.
Spotify chose five songs of summer for 2025, all of which got a boost from TikTok: “Ordinary” by Alex Warren, “Shake It To The Max (FLY) – Remix” by MOLIY, Silent Addy, Skillibeng & Shenseea, “Love Me Not” by Ravyn Lenae, “Manchild” by Sabrina Carpenter, and “back to friends” by sombr.
If I had to pick a music artist for summer 2025, I’d choose Morgan Wallen, who currently tops the Billboard Artist 100.

Ode to Chicago-style hot dogs

Thanks to the expansion of the Portillo’s restaurant chain outside of Chicago, people across the country can now enjoy Chicago-style hot dogs without having to venture to the Windy City. I love those “dragged through the garden” franks.
When I was living in Wilmette, Ill., my go-to hot dog joint was Irving’s For Red Hot Lovers. It’s got the traditional Chicago-style beef hot dog topped with yellow mustard, bright green sweet pickle relish, chopped white onion, tomato slices, a dill pickle spear, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt on a steamed poppy seed bun.
On my regular visits to Chicagoland, I like to stop for a dog and fries at Superdawg in Wheeling, Ill.
On my most recent visit this month, I decided to go to one of the most storied hot dog stands in all of Chicago – Gene & June’s in River Grove, Ill. I was not disappointed.
I ordered the double-dog with fries. Gene & June’s tops its franks with mustard, relish, onion and sport peppers. It’s a good hot dog, but the fresh cut and made French fries are the true standout here.

Chicago mobster grave tour

The Chicago mobsters of the last century continue to fascinate the public. You can take guided bus tours of their neighborhoods and haunts to this day.
Why is it that people want to learn more about old-time gangsters like Al Capone and John Dillinger? I suppose it’s because they had a sense of style and celebrity that ordinary criminals today lack. Plus, they weren’t known for killing civilians just rival gang members and those who wronged them.
There was also the dichotomy of Italian and Irish mobsters being church-going Catholics and yet still committing crimes. Plus, some like Capone gave to the poor and needy. You don’t see inner city gangs today helping widows and orphans.
On a recent trip to Chicago, I visited Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois. It’s the final resting place for many notorious criminals.
I stopped by the graves of Al Capone (Alphonse Capone, 1899-1947), Frank Nitto (aka Frank “The Enforcer” Nitti, 1888-1943), Vincent Gebardi (aka Jack “Machine Gun Jack” McGurn, 1902-1936) and Sam Giancana (1908-1975).
Some “fan” even left a .45-caliber bullet on Machine Gun Jack’s grave.
Also buried at Mt. Carmel Cemetery is actor Dennis Farina, 1944-2013).

Free web platforms are preserving digital artifacts … for now

Over the years, I have spotlighted 450 websites that I found to be useful, educational or entertaining. Many of the early websites have disappeared without a trace because they stopped paying services to maintain them.
But those that set up shop on free platforms such as Google’s Blogger or social media services like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter/X are still around, even if they haven’t been updated in years. That means the content on those sites is being preserved in a digital time capsule.
I can only hope that the companies behind those free, ad-supported services will continue to keep those websites alive, even when the creators are long gone. But there are no promises like that in the digital age.
Of the 450 websites that I’ve highlighted on Tech-media-tainment since late 2008, 117 are no longer reachable or the data is gone. Three of the websites have gone dark since the last time I checked in February 2025.
A good example of a website that is being preserved is the Twitter/X account of anti-Islam demonstrator Salwan Momika. He risked his life to speak out against the threat of Islamic culture to Western society. He was murdered on Jan. 29, 2025, during a live broadcast on TikTok. His Twitter/X account still exists thankfully. Hopefully his other social media accounts do as well.
It is important to preserve the voices and opinions of people from throughout the years. They are useful for tracking the progress of humanity and also for sentimental purposes.
I still keep voicemails on my iPhone from my mother, who died in January, just to hear her voice every now and then. I also keep old emails from friends and loved ones.

Worthwhile websites on journalism, tech industry and Chicago

I regularly spotlight websites that I find interesting, useful or entertaining. Here’s the latest batch.

Press Gazette

The U.K.-based Press Gazette provides great coverage of the media industry. Its tagline is “Fighting for quality news media in the digital age.”
Of interest to me is the excellent job it does casting a critical eye on the impact of Google search algorithms and, more recently, AI summaries on news publishers.

Ed Zitron’s Where’s Your Ed At

Ed Zitron’s Where’s Your Ed At is a blog run by PR person and writer Ed Zitron. He isn’t afraid to call out bullshit when he sees it in the tech industry, especially when it comes to the recent AI boom.
“I've been railing against bullshit bubbles since 2021,” he said in a recent post. That includes the anti-remote work push, the NFT bubble, the made-up quiet quitting panic and problems with FTX several months before it imploded.
“I believe the AI bubble is deeply unstable, built on vibes and blind faith,” Zitron said.

Layoffs.fyi

Layoffs.fyi has been tracking tech industry layoffs since the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a personal project of Roger Lee, an internet entrepreneur based in San Francisco.
He also tracks government employees laid off by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). So far this year, DOGE has laid off 67,749 government employees

HeyJackass!

HeyJackass! Illustrates the violent crime problem in Chicago with charts and graphics showing shootings and homicides. It also sells funny Chicago-themed T-shirts and other merchandise.

Generative AI in the news business: Not to be trusted

As websites and online news operations try out generative artificial intelligence tools, they’re finding that the output can’t always be trusted.
Gen AI is great for some things such as providing quick definitions for technical terms and acronyms or summarizing information from a trove of government documents. But its habit of providing incorrect information and making things up (“hallucinations”) on some subjects make it not ready to supplant journalists.
One problem with AI chatbots is they present information as though they are certain about it. Chatbots may need to provide a certainty scale with the information they present while they’re in the early days of development.
They also do a poor job of citing they work. Users need citations to find out where AI is getting its information and to fact-check its work.
Already some people and business have committed to generative AI for creating articles and even supposed news websites.
NewsGuard has so far identified 1,271 AI-generated news and information sites operating with little to no human oversight. And it is tracking false narratives being produced by artificial intelligence tools.
“The rollout of generative artificial intelligence tools has been a boon to content farms and misinformation purveyors alike,” NewsGuard said in a report.
Some have described these generative AI sites as producing the equivalent of the meat industry’s “pink slime.”
News media are rushing into generative AI out of a “fear of missing out” (FOMO) on the next big thing. While AI has shown its usefulness in some journalist tasks, it is just a tool. It is simply too early to use AI as an automated front-facing application for news.

AI summaries are the latest existential threat for news publishers

When I was studying for a print journalism degree in the mid-1980s, newspapers were already in decline. It didn’t deter me from that line of work but it was worrisome.
At the time, broadcast and cable television news were lessening demand for newspapers, especially in major metropolitan areas. It turned out to be one of a series of crises to face the news industry over the years.
When I graduated from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 1984, PCs weren’t yet commonplace. The early days of the internet with AOL, Yahoo and the like would create the next crisis for newspapers. But publishers adapted and shifted their operations to the web. And as the internet evolved, they learned how to attract readers and game the Google algorithm using search engine optimization. At the same time, advertising shifted to the web.
The immediacy of the web has great advantages over the dead-tree editions of the news. I imagine that as more Baby Boomers die off so will the newspapers they grew up with.
But now digital publications, including legacy newspapers, are facing their next existential threat from generative artificial intelligence. Google searches now generate AI summaries of news and information requests. And that has led to fewer clicks on weblinks back to the source of the news and information. The result is fewer readers, less advertising revenue and fewer opportunities to sell subscription services.
One recent study found that U.K. publishers are seeing click-through rates cut by nearly 50% because of AI summaries.
Google disputes the results, calling the study inaccurate and based on flawed assumptions, according to Press Gazette.
Still, publishers in the U.S. and elsewhere are seeing a decline in traffic. Many readers might get all the information they’re looking for on a subject from an AI summary.
This has led to a corresponding loss in advertising revenue. News publishers have responded by cutting journalism jobs. The Press Gazette has been tracking the layoffs.
Some publishers are demanding payment for use of their content to create AI summaries. But that would probably only help the largest news companies that have the legal resources to fight Big Tech.
AI summaries will need to do a better job of sourcing in their responses to encourage a click-through for more information.
Online publishers already are preparing for a day called “Google Zero,” when Google stops sending traffic to websites.

Old newspapers need to be digitized

I recently tried to locate a newspaper article from the 1970s the old fashioned way – in a public library on microfilm. I was unsuccessful in my hunt.
The process was laborious and I eventually gave up after looking through several years’ worth of weekly newspaper issues.
I was trying to find an article that I had only a vague recollection about. When I was growing up in Libertyville, Illinois, a local newspaper did an article on my mother and her experiences raising seven children. The article by the Independent-Register newspaper was published sometime between 1972 and 1980.
The newspaper is no longer in operation. All that’s left are decades of print issues on spools of microfilm.
But trying to find an article with the broad time period that I had is extremely difficult. I even narrowed my search to around Mother’s Day for those years, figuring that was the reason the article was written. But I came up empty. I began to question whether the article even existed and somehow my memory was faulty. After all, I was in junior high or high school at the time.
If the newspaper had been digitized, the search could have been done in seconds. But who’s going to digitize some old suburban newspaper from microfilm? These publications are basically orphan works now.
Maybe one day, the cost for digitizing publications on microfilm will come down and some historical society will do the job. But they should do it before something happens to the microfilm libraries, otherwise the information within will be lost to the ages.

Thread Reader app solves a problem with long post threads on X

One issue X users have with the social media service formerly called Twitter is following long “threads” of interconnected posts of interest.
Thankfully an independent app has stepped in solve the problem and make those threads easy to read. The app, called Thread Reader, organizes a person’s train of thought in chronological order.
To use the bot, you simply reply to any tweet in a thread and mention @threadreaderapp and the keyword “unroll.” Thread Reader then sends you a link back on X that you can share.
The Thread Reader app was created by a couple of software developers and went live in November 2017.
To see the threads I’ve created check out my page on Thread Reader.

Twitter, I mean X, is better under Elon Musk’s ownership

When Tesla billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter in October 2022, I was concerned about how it would fair under his ownership. That was especially true after he renamed it X, which I opposed.
I still have a tough time calling it X. Twitter is catchier and more accurate for the short-message social media service.
Nevertheless, Twitter, I mean X, has actually improved under Musk’s ownership. I’m a daily user of X and enjoy reading the posts of accounts I follow and going down the rabbit hole with posts in the “For You” section. X has a lot of funny posts, videos and memes, as well as eye-opening information you don't see in the traditional media. I use X for entertainment and news.
Except for some limited interference by Musk, X is a free speech free-for-all. There’s still misinformation on the service but the Community Notes feature does a good job of crowd-sourced fact-checking. Plus, with the addition of the Grok AI chatbot, users can ask for context and more information on claims in posts.
Like all social media services, X has its share of bad actors, including trolls and propagandists. But you can avoid them if you want. I prefer X to all the other social media services out there, namely Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
I also appreciate that X made “likes” private in June 2024. I use the like button mostly as a bookmark, not to tell people that I like or agree with something posted.
Other changes under Musk include that addition of long-form texts and repurposing the user verification system as a subscription premium.

Chicago X accounts to see the good and bad of the Windy City

As a native of the Chicagoland area, I still keep track of goings-on in the Windy City, even though I live on the East Coast now.
I follow several accounts on X, formerly Twitter, to get different raw takes on Chicago, beyond the local news outlets. Some show the fun, nostalgic and touristy side of the city, while other show the grim reality of problems facing the nation’s third most populous city.
For positive views of Chicago, check out these X accounts:

The news media oversimplifies business competition

In trying to capture the attention of readers, the news media often oversimplifies the nature of business competition as one of winners and losers.
I’ll admit to doing this as well. But as a stock-focused technology business writer, it’s easier for me to point to companies doing well on the market and compare them to those that aren’t.
In a recent interview, streaming media industry analyst and consultant Dan Rayburn told me that he doesn’t like the popular phrase “streaming video war,” much less crowning Netflix the “winner.”
“As a soldier, someone still tied to the military, war is not good,” he said. “But what we have amongst all these streamers is competition. Competition is great.”
He added, “The media uses that (phrase) because it makes it sound worse than it is. It’s not a war – it’s competition. Competition breeds great things for consumers.”
And further, Netflix is not the only winner. It may have the largest global subscriber base, but others have been successful in the market. He pointed to Alphabet’s YouTube as another highly successful video streamer, one which takes a different approach to the market with ad-supported videos.
On May 9, AMD Chief Executive Lisa Su spoke to students, faculty and guests at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. She was asked about her company’s competition with Nvidia.
“I don’t view these things as zero-sum games,” she said. “The media tends to want to make these very critique conversations. It’s AMD vs. Intel or it’s Nvidia vs. AMD.”
“I don’t think we should think about it that way,” she said. “We should think about things as: the world needs more compute … And there are very few companies that build compute.”
Wise words.

Text message spam is annoying as hell

A few months ago I wrote about how I unplugged my home landline phone because of all the junk calls I was getting. At the time, I mentioned that every form of electronic communications has been ruined by marketers and scammers.
Lately I’ve noticed an increase in spam and phishing texts on my mobile phone. They’re super annoying because you have to look at them to see if someone you know is trying to reach you.
I wonder if any cellular phone service is better at blocking these messages than others. That’s something that might get me to switch carriers, if the situation worsens.
The spam text messages fall into a few categories.
First, there are the fake delivery service texts supposedly from UPS Ground. Then, there are purported texts from Amazon contacting you about a refund.
I’ve also received fake traffic ticket texts that threaten to suspend my driving privileges and vehicle registration.
The most common type of spam texts I receive are recruiting messages. They say they’ve found my resume online and that I’d be perfect for a job they’re offering. It’s usually a remote position doing miscellaneous things like helping Temu merchants with product reviews.
The oddest ones are short messages that try to engage you. They’ll say things like “hello” or “all good?”
I even got a supposed text from Donald Trump Jr. I couldn’t delete that one fast enough.

Porn movies ‘ripped from the headlines’

Many fictional television shows will feature storylines that are “ripped from the headlines” to be topical. The adult video industry is no different.
To spice up their productions, they’ll glom onto newsworthy subjects, social movements and current events.
One way they do that is with porn parodies of politicians, celebrities and public figures. I’ve already covered that topic.
Another way is to play off the names and slogans of protests, military operations and other real-life subjects.
For instance, the Black Lives Matter social movement that started in 2013, inspired the titles of at least eight porn movies.
Other subjects for porn titles included the Occupy Wall Street protests, Islamic terrorists and military operations such as Operation Just Cause, Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
A list of such movies follows.
Note: This is the last in a series of articles on how the porn industry riffs on current events and pop culture.

TSA porn parodies were a short-lived trend

With news this week that the Transportation Security Administration will allow passengers to keep their shoes on during airport screenings, the TSA became a little less onerous.
After the agency was created in 2001, it was the subject of derision and ridicule. Even the adult video industry took part in mocking the agency, which had been accused of groping travelers and invading their privacy.
From 2011 through 2018, the TSA was the subject of at least six porn parodies.

TSA porn parodies:

TSA – Your Ass Is In Our Hands (2011)
TSA Strip Down (2011)
Airport Secur-titty (2011)
TSA – Touching, Searching And Pussy Pounding (2014)
Fluids On The Flight (2016)
TSA Checkpoint (2018)
