The panopticon is a design of institutional building with an inbuilt system of control, originated by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single prison officer, without the inmates knowing whether or not they are being watched.
Although it is physically impossible for the single guard to observe all the inmates' cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched motivates them to act as though they are all being watched at all times. They are effectively compelled to self-regulation. The architecture consists of a rotunda with an inspection house at its centre. From the centre, the manager or staff are able to watch the inmates. Bentham conceived the basic plan as being equally applicable to hospitals, schools, sanatoriums, and asylums. He devoted most of his efforts to developing a design for a panopticon prison, so the term now usually refers to that.

On August 11, 2016, four months after his death, the original video of Ford smoking crack cocaine was released from publication ban by the Toronto Police Service after the extortion charge against Sandro Lisi was dropped.The cellphone video was recorded "surreptitiously" by Mohamed Siad in February 2013. The video shows Ford smoking crack cocaine from a glass pipe. His words are slurred and mostly inaudible during the conversation. Shortly before he admitted smoking crack cocaine, Ford said, "Whatever this video shows ... Toronto residents deserve to see it and people need to judge for themselves what they see on this video."

Jan 17 2026 - A clash broke out in downtown Minneapolis after provocateur Jake Lang held an "Anti-Muslim" rally near city hall.
Lang could be seen shouting to the crowd with a small group of supporters, which was vastly outnumbered by counter-demonstrators.
Lang had announced plans to burn a Quran, the holy book for Muslims, and march into the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, which is home to a large Somali community.
However, before Lang was able to burn the book, he was chased away from city hall by the large crowd of counter-demonstrators.
A visibly bruised and bloodied Lang ran into his hotel while being followed by the crowd.
