A guy and his friends came up to us at a bar asking to play Jenga. My friends agreed, but while playing something seemed off with the way they were talking and making conversation. Then I looked closer and realized he'd been recording us the entire conversation.
When I called it out, he admitted he was livestreaming us to his followers. He told us he's a content creator, but we never gave consent. We got out of there fast.
Here's what actually scared me. I own the OG Meta Ray-Bans. My friends clowned me because the recording light is a huge obvious flash, you can see it from across a room. His were the newest version. The light just dims faintly now. You'd never know unless you were staring right at it.

I’m proud to share the WHCD will be held on 07/24. Our first dinner is part of history, as will be the WHCA’s response. We will not allow an act of violence to have the last word, especially during a year when we are reflecting on America 250 and everything we stand for.
Locura que el equipo de tu ciudad gane la Champions y esa misma noche tengas en las calles al mismísimo Harry Potter luchando contra Voldemort por el alma de Hogwarts.
“Baltimore” is spelled wrong, in several different ways, on the White House’s new map of ICE arrests.
4 arrests in “Baltiomre,” 1 arrest in “Baltomore,” etc.
FIFA have responded to this - and strongly.
“We are quite surprised by the NJ Governor’s approach today on fan transportation. The original FIFA World Cup 2026 Host City Agreements signed in 2018 required free transportation for fans to all matches. Recognizing the financial strain this placed on the host cities, back in 2023 FIFA adjusted the Host Agreement requirements across all host cities as follows: All Match Ticket holders and accredited individuals shall be able to access transport (public or additionally planned transport) at cost to allow travel to Stadiums on match days.
“FIFA worked for years with host cities on transportation and mobility plans, including advocating for millions of dollars in federal funding to support host cities for transportation.
“FIFA World Cup will bring millions of fans to North America along with related economic impact. Many fans will travel to NYNJ to enjoy the eight matches scheduled. FIFA is not aware of any other major event previously held at NYNJ Stadium, including other major sports, global concert tours, etc., where organizers were required to pay for fan transportation.”
I’ve been called a lot but never a fascist. A sad e.g. of how people that have never even met someone else use social media to erode trust & promote divisiveness. Social media is causing real damage to our society and it’s in our power to stop it.
Today we got a behind the scenes look at the “super tugs” that United Airlines uses to move planes from gate to gate and to other areas. The company tells me the super tugs are vital for safety, fuel efficiency, and running flights on-time.
