00:03oh wait can you make one of those heart design things I want to post it maybe a star no
00:09wait
00:09a flower like an orchid they don't really teach us how to do that I can make a swirl
00:16that's just so basic just try a flower it's already half swirl I mean if you have to make
00:24a fresh one it's totally fine I will pay for it do you mind there are other people in line
00:30oh shoot oh my gosh I forgot that I have hot yoga in 15 don't worry though when I post
00:35this I'm gonna
00:36totally make your cafe go viral sorry for that can I get you hi uh drip coffee please
00:45Toach Tina here and it is time to reveal the newest addition to Tina's blessed to impress list first
00:53off I need you guys to go no not go run to the cutest new coffee bar I just found
00:59Bernice's coffee no seriously people it's the best oat milk latte I've had all year whoever's feeling
01:06blessed say blessed also this new raspberry lip gloss oh it makes my lips just feel so
01:23I mean h89 Lou Kaplan aka the selfie slayer not to brag but low-key I created a program to
01:32alert me if any
01:32inmates logged onto their dormant social media platforms Wow very clever thank you it uses malware software I
01:39designed to bypass VPNs it looks like Lou just logged on to his old snap max account for the
01:46first time since 2019 in midtown Manhattan I guess even pit inmates can't stay off social media snap max
01:52that's the one that's like if Instagram and Tik Tok had a baby right well I don't know we have
01:57a strict
01:57no social media policy at my house that's fun says here that Lou was a gifted coder and one of
02:03the
02:03the original software designers for snap max he had some pretty lofty ideals about social media
02:08fostering community and empathy I'm sensing a turn coming well he wanted his technology to bring people
02:15together instead according to him the app quote became a breeding ground for vanity vitriol and
02:21self-isolating behavior so I'm guessing the nickname this selfie slayer is not a metaphor Hizamo was
02:28interesting despite the fact that he carefully selected and then stalked these victims for days
02:32the kills themselves were semi improvised and always public this one he threw into oncoming traffic as
02:39she was live streaming and then another he beat to death in Prospect Park using his own tripod
02:43he claimed that his six murders were a message a way to wake the world up to the dangers of
02:47social media
02:48the post wrote a whole expose on him turning him into a social media sensation himself an ironic
02:53poster child for disruption they even had merch with his face on it outside the courthouse during his trial
02:59gross yeah if he's already logged back into snap max again he's probably stalking victims
