Even more concerning is that an idiot wearing these glasses is also, without permission, tracking, recording and spying on everyone around them. It’s beyond creepy. And thanks a lot, now if I see anyone with larger than normal glasses on I’ll think they’re recording me—my life just got soooo much better!
This is a *huge* point. As a consumer, we may have the ability to make a choice to buy or not buy this spyware, but we don't have control over others who may be using it.
Next time you bring a date home, you might want to ask her if her glasses are "intelligent" before the two of you head to the bedroom!
Or think about your “date” recording your whole entire house, your keyless entry code, which windows are locked from the inside… It’s actually terrifying.
The threat isn't just from the robot overlords. Your "date" could be the threat themselves. Sort of like dating a cop wearing a body camera recording everything inside your home so they can go home and study it for future crimes (or maybe to decide they really do like you and want to marry you).
Yes, ma'am! I like to think of people like us as damn smart, Sadie Jay. We don't take things at face value. We question everything and take full responsibility for our lives.
Official club? I think we have an unofficial club right here!
Funny you should say that, Sadie. One of our most treasured social groups is one we call the Rebels. During CoV when no one would mix with the unjabbed, we got together at least once a month for mask free, fear free socializing. We’re like minded and close. It’s a great group. It’s our “official club”.
I have been very fortunate to find a couple of women that I can be myself. I feel like it's taken my entire life. Believe me, when I say that I have been discarded like a piece of trash more times than I want to count or remember.
I lost so many "friends" during the plandemic. My inability to "shut up" and listen to the "experts" was more then most of them could stand. I remember feeling very lonely and depressed, and if it wasn't for my hubs, son, and the pups, I am not sure how I would have coped. Joining Substack in 2020 helped tremendously, too.!
Jenna has created a very special place here, and I feel like i know so many wonderful souls.
It’s like a Tesla screen showing (and recording) all the cars around you. I mean, that’s amazing tech and all, ostensibly collecting data for future software updating and improvement… but um, people walking around and actively sharing ’data’ on their every step AND those around them. Talk about your social credit system in 3D. Does explain the current frenzy to build more server farms.
I'm convinced that if we don't give in to hopelessness, yes: we can turn back from the brink of tyranny, but it may get much worse before it gets better:
Eventually the question is going to have to be asked, if everything is being monitored, recorded, digested, utilized for psyops training, etc., then what are we all doing on SubStack writing away stupid comments like this one?
Agreed. I'm more concerned with others wearing those glasses and recording me in public, having their intrinsic-AI features auto-identify me & lookup where I live, etc. However, there are known countermeasures for facial recognition cameras in public, so there must be similar things already, or soon, on the market to stay invisible around these glasses.
I was never a fan of "shunning" in the traditional religious context, but you've described a scenario where it seems absolutely and completely appropriate. 👍
I'm a bit curious who the seven million people are that bought these last year? Do they just have money to burn on buying whatever crap is pushed on them as the "latest in thing"?
Maybe that's a worldwide figure... but if that's seven million out of 330 million people in the USA. That's 2% of the population. Let's double that assuming these are all adults, so 4% of our population is walking around wearing these things? One out of every twenty people?
It's also one of the oldest sales techniques in the book, trumpet how many other people bought the product. And who's going to check the numbers and report objectively?
Hopefully he can find some enjoyment in them, put them to good usage (only wear them on a vacation?) and realize both the pros and cons of such devices!
Ok, this just sent me on a dive into blocking these sensors. Thing is, anything which blocks the cameras is going to also bring you to great attention to others. Blocking collections areas of a white or pale face with black or dark makeup, huge glasses which block most of those collection points, LEDs, rhinestones glued to your face. etc. Brow lines, bridge of nose, shading to make it look less like a face - all of this is going to cause others to look at you - great if you're trying to make a point or bring attention - not so great if you're trying to just be incognito. We're basically screwed.
I dunno, maybe we do need a giant tsunami to wipe out half the beings on this planet (except the animals, they didn't do anything wrong).
Why on earth would someone think they need these things?
Then again, 75% of the people wearing apple watches clearly have no need for instantaneous information. God forbid you don't see a text the second it arrives.
Meta and markie can go to hell. It's the same with any "wearable"...it will track you like an wolf tracks a rabbit. All that info goes somewhere, likely palantir is also collecting it. Almost anything digital has the potential and the power to track your existence.
Get real...they wouldn't bother tracking you if they were going to erase the data. The goog, apple, microsoft, amazon and others all play the same game.
Talk about weird; last night I had dinner with a bunch of friends and a couple of them told me that they just bought Meta glasses, in RayBan sunglasses style. So naturally, I made a note to check them out today, but before I could do that, this Substack article pops up on my screen. What are the odds you write about this particular subject and it shows up today of all days? So naturally, I forwarded it to the guys to let them know not to accidentally videotape their wives getting naked or the video may end up on some dude’s desktop in Nairobi, unless they’re ok with that and they’re thinking more along the lines of watcher beware.
What really p****s me off is that I can choose not to buy/wear one, but I can't stop other people from recording me when I'm out in public. I do not consent to having my image or habits sent to some AI data center. Do I get a choice? NO, I do not, and neither do you. Unfortunately, there is no escaping this Orwellian nightmare.
Yep, this just sent me on a dive into blocking these sensors. Thing is, anything which blocks the cameras is going to also bring you to great attention to others. Blocking collections areas of a white or pale face with black or dark makeup, the opposite for darker faces, huge glasses which block most of those collection points, LEDs, rhinestones glued to your face. etc. Brow lines, bridge of nose, shading to make it look less like a face - all of this is going to cause others to look at you - great if you're trying to make a point or bring attention - not so great if you're trying to just be incognito.

This reminds me of the old comic book advertisements for "X-ray vision glasses" that you could buy (with them hinting you could see underneath women's clothes).
Bummer, my childhood was so deprived. I was stuck with cutting out the back of cereal boxes to form a spy tube that could peak around corners attaching the little “mirror” toy from the surprise inside package.
Hi, yes, I'd like to order a pizza... and I want a robot WELL trained on intimacy.
Would you like 1, 2, or 3 hours? Or 30 seconds?
I'll order the 1 hour special.
For an extra $50 you can upgrade to 2 hours and get money back for streaming it. The secret menu also pays extra if you scream.
Hmmm... I can do that. How much in total?
$250.
No STD's?
No, all robots go through a sanitation process between clients. All cars are fitted with injectable nozzles and....
Look, I don't need details. I just asked a yes or no question.
What time would you like your pizza delivered with your room service? We can squeeze you in between 8 and 10. The earlier hours are already booked.
Fine. It will be late enough to avoid too much neighbor scrutiny. What will she look like?
Who would you like?
Well, shoot... TayTay will be fine.
You do know sir, that she will draw undue attention to your residence. She has MANY followers. However, since she's pretty much clamped down on any likeness being portrayed anywhere, you can be sure that the internet as a whole will not be aware of your "escapade".
To add to that horror, I read yesterday that your computer takes photos of everything you do online and keeps that in a file for any regulator that subpoenas it! Since the cameras on your phone and tv watch you, I keep a bandaid over the cameras. Kind of a luddite. No ring camera, an old phone, no alexa, none of it. But I did see some ear buds that translate other languages for you instantly which would be really awesome for traveling.
Ok, I admit to watching the CocoDoodle videos on Insta. That little dog is adorable and it’s cleverly done. Anyway, the roomba scared her so she had an accident and then the roomba did what roombas do. Yikes!
My daughter had a Roomba. And kids. As it was doing what it does, it sucked up Woody's hat string (off Toy Story) and when they got home, it had put itself away, looking very jaunty with the hat positioned just right on the top of it.
I realize all of us are “captured” to 1 extent or the other by our phones & computers, if nothing else - not to mention surveillance/facial recognition at airports & cameras literally everywhere. But for my personal life, I’ve never had nor wanted wearables, Alexa, Rumba, doorbells & the like. It’s surely futile but I try to minimize the personal surveillance as I can. Hopeless, I know.
Same. And I refuse the face recognition at the airport with a cheery “no thank you.” They don’t like it, but it’s perfectly legal. Ditched the roomba and Fitbit years ago. No Alexa. No Ring cam. Small acts of defiance, I know, but it makes me feel better. They’ve got me on my phone, computer, traffic and flock cameras, and more. Seriously considering switching to an old analog flip phone when I leave the house (need the smart phone for work-we’re Soooooooo captured!) and an old fashioned land line at home. It’s the little things…
Was in a FBI presentation a decade or two ago. Staffing levels and difficulty of investigations came up. They said that since social media came about, people are GIVING information away! They don't have to utilize as many staff to run investigations.
And despite best efforts you still show up on someone else's ring doorbell or other cloud camera, go into someone's house who has Amazon or apple or Google devices always listening (and if you block any wifi access at home, they reach out to neighboring devices to connect to the internet) , sit in front of TV's with recording capabilities and data-only 5G connections on board to bypass network restrictions (very cheap monthly or yearly data plans easily paid for by data analytics and ad revenue) , end up in someone else's contact list/phonebook, you trigger location because you're scanning for wifi, Bluetooth or cell towers and some of those will be correlated with other people's phones who do have relaxed permissions, subject to ads or apps that leverage location services or any of the above, or communicate your viewing preferences via a sub audible communication embedded into TV programs and ads and relayed to advertisers and stores you visit, especially when you have to use their store app to order stuff in store (looking at you, Sam's Club). It's essentially a mesh network and your interactions with others intentional or otherwise is nearly impossible to avoid. With third party doctrine, any 3rd party data is free game to the government.
The military just ordered their people in Iran to turn off location services. Exercise apps have previously disclosed secret military bases, perimeter and building locations because soldiers were tracking their vitals, locations and times.
Have never been on any social media, either, but it’s safe to say the shopping online (& I do) or just reading articles online is all captured. We’re screwed any way we look at it & at some point digital ID & currencies will be the next mandate. Very worried about those. Still use only cash locally (for now!)
I’m off grid in the mountains, private. But I walk out to my garden naked on warm days. Satellite images are sharing my 6 decades old form with ???? I was hoping only the animals and aliens were watching 🤭
I saw that video! Planting potatoes under hay bales... cars driving by on a nearby road. At least that's what I remember from watching that old video sitting in the county extension of some master gardener type of office.
When we went to Japan in 2024 to visit our son, we had to do the fingerprint / face recognition @ the Tokyo Airport. Felt we had no choice in a foreign land. But I don’t do it domestically. Are there still phone companies w/ landlines??
That is NOT a land line. Damn phone company/WIFI providers have deliberately used the description of central office, impervious to power outages LANDLINE term on internet phones. Kinda like changing the definition of VACCINE to include what should NEVER have been called and treated like a vaccine: Covid Shot.
There are NO LANDLINES where the phone company maintains a central office. The sweet young things selling home phones are referring to Voice over IP, OR WFI PHONES as land lines. Question to ask to sort this deliberate mislabeling: “If power 💪🏼 f out for 2 days, will my phone still work?” And or “ does my phone line have battery back up.” If the phone number uses battery back up it is not an old fashioned “land line” Also, if your WIFI company bundled it with WIFI and/or tv, it is not old fashioned land line. AT&T has pretty much eliminated central office, old fashioned land lines.
I totally agree. I’m still wondering why my appliances need to bug my cell phone when they’re finished doing what I turned them on to do. Now, if my dryer could FOLD my clothes, maybe I wouldn’t be so snotty.
A few companies technically still offer traditional landline service, but availability depends entirely on the specific address. They are very few and very far between…AND the infrastructure has to be pre-existing. You can get an analog land line from AT&T (limited states and shrinking availability), CenturyLink / Lumen, Frontier, and Verizon (Northeast). But most of these companies will not install new copper lines and will only maintain existing lines.
The GOOD NEWS, is that, thanks to tin foil hat wearing folks like us, there’s actually a small but serious movement among emergency planners, rural communities, and some security professionals to preserve analog copper landlines — because they have a few properties that modern systems don’t replicate very well. Hopefully that movement will grow🙏🙏🙏.
You get it! Thank you. I can’t tell you the confusion the misnaming has caused. Why the companies weren’t forced to use a new term for their home phone offerings is beyond me. As an ex English teacher turned sales rep, WORDS MATTER. I had the same knee jerk reaction to people using pronouns of they/them. Those words HAVE a standard meaning: they/them are plural. If I call the fire department and someone says “they will be right there”, I don’t want one 5 foot tall woman to show up, I want multiple people to help! We need to go back to teaching etymology.
Yep...just got back from Hawaii and refused all the photos. You have to tell them as you walk up, before you are stationary. Hubs told them, but it was too late...
The diabolical mRNA transfection bioweapons MUST be recalled and the inherently dangerous and deadly mRNA transfection platform MUST be banned.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will hold its next meeting on March 18 and 19 at the CDC in Atlanta.
This ACIP panel is actively encouraging comments, either orally during the meeting or submitted in writing in advance. Among the topics on the agenda is COVID-19 "vaccine" injury.
Written comments on Docket CDC-2026-0199 must be submitted by March 12:
ACIP Secretariat, ACIP Meeting, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Docket No. CDC-2026-0199.
The COVID modified mRNA-LNP genetic shots must be recalled.
The mRNA transfection platform itself is irreparably flawed & inherently dangerous and the platform itself IS the primary problem.
The mechanism of action (using mRNA instructions to turn one’s own cells into foreign non-self “spike protein factories”) IS the primary mechanism of harm. This triggers an immune system attack response, starting with the Killer T-Lymphocyte cells which will target & destroy one's formerly healthy cells, ANYWHERE in the body, that are now expressing non-self proteins...starting a cascade of damage at the deepest biological/cellular level.
Due to the systemic biodistribution properties of the (toxic & inflammatory) lipid nanoparticles, the encased (designed to be long-lasting) n1-methyl pseudouridine modified mRNA can go anywhere in the body, including crossing the blood-brain & placental barriers. The LNP "delivery vehicles" traveled to different parts of the body in different people.
Expressing any foreign non-self protein is fatal to the cell doing the expressing. Some people will express lots of foreign proteins in vulnerable locations. Others express less in less vulnerable areas.
The location of expression defines the adverse event: if you get foreign protein expression in your heart cells, you could get myocarditis & experience cardiac arrest; if in your brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system, you could get one or more of a variety of neurological conditions; if in your eye, possible blindness; if in your ovaries, possible infertility; if in the placenta, possible miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth defects; if in the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, possible vascular &/or microvascular injuries like clots/microclots or the long white fibrous clots, leading to strokes, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolisms…
If the expression of foreign proteins is in your own immune cells, you could experience immune dysfunction, dysregulation, & suppression including repeated infections, immune tolerance of a pathogenic foreign protein due to antibody subclass switch to IgG4 & increased IgG4-related diseases, T cell exhaustion, interference with & suppression of innate immunity, persistent systemic inflammation, dysregulation of toll-like receptors and reduced cancer surveillance or the suppression of tumor-suppressing immune system activities & cell-signaling (increasing your risk of fast-growing and aggressive cancers). And more…
Pathology reports, including from autopsies, have revealed & confirmed the Killer T Lymphocyte infiltration & destruction of cells, oftentimes in vital organs.
These modified mRNA-LNP genetic transfection shots never would have passed proper safety studies required for gene therapy products. Safety studies (including biodistribution, immunogenicity, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, shedding, long-term effects, & more) that were bypassed because of the mislabeling as “vaccines”. (And because of the EUA & “countermeasure” designations under the Project BioShield Act & PREP Act).
The danger is NOT limited to just getting more COVID “boosters”. ANY mRNA gene “therapy” product that transfects your cells & instructs those cells to produce non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) will trigger an immune system attack response against your own cells & tissues. This makes EVERY mRNA-based transfection product harmful by design.
This immune response to one's own cells being instructed to express non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) triggers autoimmune responses, & then T-cell exhaustion & immune system dysfunction, regardless of whether or not the foreign protein is toxic itself.
The immune dysfunction & collapse that has manifested in an unprecedented number of people worldwide, accompanied by surges in autoimmune conditions, chronic infections, cancers, & cardiometabolic disease is unfortunately very real, no matter how much some want to deny what is happening.
This is not speculation. This is measurable — in lymphocyte counts, antibody profiles, T-cell exhaustion markers, & verified clinical outcomes, including deaths.
AND shedding from the mRNA transfection shots IS an extremely serious concern, with some people being affected more than others.
Data annotation, labeling, critiquing articles, goes on right here. As a side job, I have worked with 3 companies. Yes, if labeling pictures, you do run across some "oddities." You are to report those and not do anything with them - at least for one company. You also sign an agreement stating that if you run into content that is sensitive to you, you report it and carry on.
Now, for AI answers, not only do you critique it, but you also try to "stump" the AI to fine tune its skills by asking complex questions.
It's a crazy time and noit easy to avoid it all. I have no Ring, no AI vacuum, or person locator app on my phone. no watch that will gladly alert you when blood pressure rises. I put a small post it note over my laptop's camera eye. I can only imagine what is in store for us next!
We have an early gen Ring camera for our front door but we haven’t installed it in over two years. Just sitting by my coffee pot. I’ve been thinking a LOT lately with all the crime that we need a camera. I’m feeling vulnerable and scared. My neighbors installed them front, side, and back last year. But now after reading all this I’m wondering what to do! I’d love that security and footage of ever necessary, but … darn it the angst.
I understand. What I have done for years is open my front door in the morning and let the light in ( I have an all glass door on the outside. The dogs love it and it is their "tv." In 20 years, I have never had anyone suspicious around - at all. And, my neighborhood is not a particularly safe one. At night, doors are locked of course, but that's it. The dogs would alert if necessary and we could all go out the bedroom window if necessary.
I just got an ABOVE phone this year, it is a google pixel that has been reprogrammed with the Graphene OS instead of Android for privacy. It uses a bunch of open source privacy oriented apps. You can learn more about it here:
Also ditched Windows and switched to Zorin Linux on my laptop, it works pretty well and is free. (https://zorin.com/os/) Also it will run well on older computers that no longer can run Win 11, so you don't need to buy a new PC.
There is a lot we can do to keep our lives more private.
I would love your take on the data "farms" being built EVERYWHERE, using massive amounts of land, water, and power and the majority of people have no idea it's happening. Would you please do a piece on this? (and then theres's the digital ID, cashless society nightmare...) Thank you~You are awesome!
I’m curious about this too. I keep hearing it won’t affect local power because they have to build their own reactors. And that it won’t use crazy amounts of water because the water in the data centers is recirculated. I don’t know if that is true or just BS to calm people down and sneak the data centers in.
I answered are you even serious, but I also never thought I'd carry around a pocket sized device that tracked my every move or use a speaker to answer questions about recipes and temperatures. I also never thought I'd use Ai. Yet, here I am. Scary stuff.
Speaking of Ai and recipes …. I’m learning to make sourdough. I’m in the early stages (round two this morning!) and King Arthur offers a hotline, sort of like the turkey hotlines at Thanksgiving but year round. I’ve been on the phone with them practically ever day for the past week because I refuse to ask or believe what ai tells me. I want an experienced human from the trenches, with flour on her face and upper belly, guiding me. We just can’t replace the value of that in person, shoulder to shoulder learning. I missed out on that as an older kid when it came to baking and much of what I’m learning you cannot just master or understand following a recipe by your lonesome.
Even more concerning is that an idiot wearing these glasses is also, without permission, tracking, recording and spying on everyone around them. It’s beyond creepy. And thanks a lot, now if I see anyone with larger than normal glasses on I’ll think they’re recording me—my life just got soooo much better!
This is a *huge* point. As a consumer, we may have the ability to make a choice to buy or not buy this spyware, but we don't have control over others who may be using it.

Or think about your “date” recording your whole entire house, your keyless entry code, which windows are locked from the inside… It’s actually terrifying.
You're just being paranoid, Jenna, our robot overlords would never invade our privacy like that. All hail!
The threat isn't just from the robot overlords. Your "date" could be the threat themselves. Sort of like dating a cop wearing a body camera recording everything inside your home so they can go home and study it for future crimes (or maybe to decide they really do like you and want to marry you).
Exactly!
We live in an age where we don't realize just how much information we are giving away and how that could come back to harm us!
So much "fun", all the "spy movie gadgets" are coming to real life... but instead of benefiting you are providing data to unknown major corporations.
Thank God I don’t have to date! My friends are just like me, annoying, tin foil donning conspiracy realists.
We “are not for everyone,” would be a monumental understatement. We question and research everything.
Life post dating is wonderful! {smile}
Amen🙏
We are The Pain In Their Asses, right Kat? It is what I live for, being difficult and non-compliant. We should start an official club.
Yes, ma'am! I like to think of people like us as damn smart, Sadie Jay. We don't take things at face value. We question everything and take full responsibility for our lives.
Official club? I think we have an unofficial club right here!

You are so very fortunate. I have no one in my life to share those things with:(
YOU HAVE US, TONEE!!!
YES!!! You have all of us, Tonee!!!
I have been very fortunate to find a couple of women that I can be myself. I feel like it's taken my entire life. Believe me, when I say that I have been discarded like a piece of trash more times than I want to count or remember.

Don’t own anything. Be happy. Get the jab. Be happy. Give permission to SM to collect and digitize every aspect of your life. Be happy. 😆
Indeed!
I've tended to think of myself as an intelligent person and aware of the world. But it wasn't until 2020 that I truly realized what was going on.
Is it too late? Can we turn back from the brink of total tyranny?
I'm convinced that if we don't give in to hopelessness, yes: we can turn back from the brink of tyranny, but it may get much worse before it gets better:

Kind of like choosing not to take the Covid shot but being shed upon by anyone who does.
THAT is certainly turning out to be a horrible reality…

It's why I have a Rewards Club membership at the Hyatt... and the room service is fabulous!

Agreed. I'm more concerned with others wearing those glasses and recording me in public, having their intrinsic-AI features auto-identify me & lookup where I live, etc. However, there are known countermeasures for facial recognition cameras in public, so there must be similar things already, or soon, on the market to stay invisible around these glasses.
I saw an ad a few days ago about an app that allegedly notifies you if they are nearby.
So perhaps the public “shunning” of people who wear them? If we know who they are it’s a possibility.
I was never a fan of "shunning" in the traditional religious context, but you've described a scenario where it seems absolutely and completely appropriate. 👍
I'm a bit curious who the seven million people are that bought these last year? Do they just have money to burn on buying whatever crap is pushed on them as the "latest in thing"?
Maybe that's a worldwide figure... but if that's seven million out of 330 million people in the USA. That's 2% of the population. Let's double that assuming these are all adults, so 4% of our population is walking around wearing these things? One out of every twenty people?
What you wanna bet, many of those sales were to government agencies?
That is a brilliant observation! It makes sense that a lot of government agents might use such a "spy" device!
It's also one of the oldest sales techniques in the book, trumpet how many other people bought the product. And who's going to check the numbers and report objectively?
My adult son has a pair, ugh
Have you banned him from wearing them at your home?
He lives on his own and does not wear them in my home, I think he got them as a gift…
Hopefully he can find some enjoyment in them, put them to good usage (only wear them on a vacation?) and realize both the pros and cons of such devices!
SMH 🥺😣Ugh is right 🙄
Ok, this just sent me on a dive into blocking these sensors. Thing is, anything which blocks the cameras is going to also bring you to great attention to others. Blocking collections areas of a white or pale face with black or dark makeup, huge glasses which block most of those collection points, LEDs, rhinestones glued to your face. etc. Brow lines, bridge of nose, shading to make it look less like a face - all of this is going to cause others to look at you - great if you're trying to make a point or bring attention - not so great if you're trying to just be incognito. We're basically screwed.
Uh oh, they don't even need your FACE anymore!!! https://www.zmescience.com/research/a-new-ai-can-spot-you-by-how-your-body-bends-a-wi-fi-signal/
They aren't any larger, so just avoid Ray Bans entirely for now
I dunno, maybe we do need a giant tsunami to wipe out half the beings on this planet (except the animals, they didn't do anything wrong).
Why on earth would someone think they need these things?
Then again, 75% of the people wearing apple watches clearly have no need for instantaneous information. God forbid you don't see a text the second it arrives.

Meta and markie can go to hell. It's the same with any "wearable"...it will track you like an wolf tracks a rabbit. All that info goes somewhere, likely palantir is also collecting it. Almost anything digital has the potential and the power to track your existence.

Terrific website! I too am German Swiss 🥰
Thanks, Bitsy. 🙏 Appreciate your kind feedback. 💗
Talk about weird; last night I had dinner with a bunch of friends and a couple of them told me that they just bought Meta glasses, in RayBan sunglasses style. So naturally, I made a note to check them out today, but before I could do that, this Substack article pops up on my screen. What are the odds you write about this particular subject and it shows up today of all days? So naturally, I forwarded it to the guys to let them know not to accidentally videotape their wives getting naked or the video may end up on some dude’s desktop in Nairobi, unless they’re ok with that and they’re thinking more along the lines of watcher beware.
I’d love to know if they respond to this article!
You, sir, are a good friend.
What really p****s me off is that I can choose not to buy/wear one, but I can't stop other people from recording me when I'm out in public. I do not consent to having my image or habits sent to some AI data center. Do I get a choice? NO, I do not, and neither do you. Unfortunately, there is no escaping this Orwellian nightmare.
Haven't I seen (maybe in the movies) glasses or baseball caps that have leds which block cameras from seeing your face?
Counter espionage is our job now!
Yep, this just sent me on a dive into blocking these sensors. Thing is, anything which blocks the cameras is going to also bring you to great attention to others. Blocking collections areas of a white or pale face with black or dark makeup, the opposite for darker faces, huge glasses which block most of those collection points, LEDs, rhinestones glued to your face. etc. Brow lines, bridge of nose, shading to make it look less like a face - all of this is going to cause others to look at you - great if you're trying to make a point or bring attention - not so great if you're trying to just be incognito. We're basically screwed.
This reminds me of the old comic book advertisements for "X-ray vision glasses" that you could buy (with them hinting you could see underneath women's clothes).
Bummer, my childhood was so deprived. I was stuck with cutting out the back of cereal boxes to form a spy tube that could peak around corners attaching the little “mirror” toy from the surprise inside package.
How did we ever live without these high tech marvels???
They didn't really work--or so I'm told.
Like most advertising... false and misleading promises!
I may start wearing my 3D glasses from the 70’s in public.
🤣🤣🤣 the only troll behavior I approve of
Another thought / quip:
If we didn't have these, then how would the robots learn how to have sex? Someone has to train the AI!
Ewwwww…..
Don't knock it till you've tried it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Door dash might have a new business model.
boop-boop-boop...boop-beep-beep-boop.
Hi, yes, I'd like to order a pizza... and I want a robot WELL trained on intimacy.
Would you like 1, 2, or 3 hours? Or 30 seconds?
I'll order the 1 hour special.
For an extra $50 you can upgrade to 2 hours and get money back for streaming it. The secret menu also pays extra if you scream.
Hmmm... I can do that. How much in total?
$250.
No STD's?
No, all robots go through a sanitation process between clients. All cars are fitted with injectable nozzles and....
Look, I don't need details. I just asked a yes or no question.
What time would you like your pizza delivered with your room service? We can squeeze you in between 8 and 10. The earlier hours are already booked.
Fine. It will be late enough to avoid too much neighbor scrutiny. What will she look like?
Who would you like?
Well, shoot... TayTay will be fine.
You do know sir, that she will draw undue attention to your residence. She has MANY followers. However, since she's pretty much clamped down on any likeness being portrayed anywhere, you can be sure that the internet as a whole will not be aware of your "escapade".
Great! I'll see her on Friday at 8.
Likewise!
Wait, what???
<click>
🤣🤣
😂
You'll have to check with the Dem running in TX, Talarico?. He strikes me as very robo like.
{laugh} Can't say that I have seen or know anything about him.
To add to that horror, I read yesterday that your computer takes photos of everything you do online and keeps that in a file for any regulator that subpoenas it! Since the cameras on your phone and tv watch you, I keep a bandaid over the cameras. Kind of a luddite. No ring camera, an old phone, no alexa, none of it. But I did see some ear buds that translate other languages for you instantly which would be really awesome for traveling.
Until those earbuds figure out a way to read your thoughts or plant ideas into your brain.
Hey, it could happen!
Or give you brain cancer.
ugh, probably what they are for...and the language thing is just marketing. Ugh again. Thanks for the warning! 💕
Bandaids?? Oh woman! Electricians tape works great. If it is black, it is even better. Matches. Lol.
😂 Yes that would be better! Thanks.

I’m starting to rethink bringing my phone in with me to the “reading room” every morning.
Seriously🙈
One of the reasons we got rid of our roomba…!
🤣 I can see you kicking it across the room swearing. Lolol
Ok, I admit to watching the CocoDoodle videos on Insta. That little dog is adorable and it’s cleverly done. Anyway, the roomba scared her so she had an accident and then the roomba did what roombas do. Yikes!
My daughter had a Roomba. And kids. As it was doing what it does, it sucked up Woody's hat string (off Toy Story) and when they got home, it had put itself away, looking very jaunty with the hat positioned just right on the top of it.
😆
I realize all of us are “captured” to 1 extent or the other by our phones & computers, if nothing else - not to mention surveillance/facial recognition at airports & cameras literally everywhere. But for my personal life, I’ve never had nor wanted wearables, Alexa, Rumba, doorbells & the like. It’s surely futile but I try to minimize the personal surveillance as I can. Hopeless, I know.
Same. And I refuse the face recognition at the airport with a cheery “no thank you.” They don’t like it, but it’s perfectly legal. Ditched the roomba and Fitbit years ago. No Alexa. No Ring cam. Small acts of defiance, I know, but it makes me feel better. They’ve got me on my phone, computer, traffic and flock cameras, and more. Seriously considering switching to an old analog flip phone when I leave the house (need the smart phone for work-we’re Soooooooo captured!) and an old fashioned land line at home. It’s the little things…
Same and my homicide detective husband laughs at me. “Molly, you have posted 8000 photos on Facebook.” I woke up too late it seems.
My husband literally says the same thing! And I say, but that was my choice. I refuse to make it easy for them!😂
Was in a FBI presentation a decade or two ago. Staffing levels and difficulty of investigations came up. They said that since social media came about, people are GIVING information away! They don't have to utilize as many staff to run investigations.
This age of Look At ME! does the work of a whole WW2 army of codebreakers. Who needs 'em?
And despite best efforts you still show up on someone else's ring doorbell or other cloud camera, go into someone's house who has Amazon or apple or Google devices always listening (and if you block any wifi access at home, they reach out to neighboring devices to connect to the internet) , sit in front of TV's with recording capabilities and data-only 5G connections on board to bypass network restrictions (very cheap monthly or yearly data plans easily paid for by data analytics and ad revenue) , end up in someone else's contact list/phonebook, you trigger location because you're scanning for wifi, Bluetooth or cell towers and some of those will be correlated with other people's phones who do have relaxed permissions, subject to ads or apps that leverage location services or any of the above, or communicate your viewing preferences via a sub audible communication embedded into TV programs and ads and relayed to advertisers and stores you visit, especially when you have to use their store app to order stuff in store (looking at you, Sam's Club). It's essentially a mesh network and your interactions with others intentional or otherwise is nearly impossible to avoid. With third party doctrine, any 3rd party data is free game to the government.
The military just ordered their people in Iran to turn off location services. Exercise apps have previously disclosed secret military bases, perimeter and building locations because soldiers were tracking their vitals, locations and times.
Have never been on any social media, either, but it’s safe to say the shopping online (& I do) or just reading articles online is all captured. We’re screwed any way we look at it & at some point digital ID & currencies will be the next mandate. Very worried about those. Still use only cash locally (for now!)
My head is spinning trying to figure out what all to give up to be ‘safe.’
I come up with “it can’t be done unless I go off grid, then satellite images still have me, but not in the shower…… yet.”
I mean do any of us even know what our roofs are made of?😂🙈
I’m off grid in the mountains, private. But I walk out to my garden naked on warm days. Satellite images are sharing my 6 decades old form with ???? I was hoping only the animals and aliens were watching 🤭
I saw that video! Planting potatoes under hay bales... cars driving by on a nearby road. At least that's what I remember from watching that old video sitting in the county extension of some master gardener type of office.
Not to mention the cameras EVERYWHERE
Cindi, Ah, but have others posted photos of you? At reunions, at parties, at a bbq?
No clue!
When we went to Japan in 2024 to visit our son, we had to do the fingerprint / face recognition @ the Tokyo Airport. Felt we had no choice in a foreign land. But I don’t do it domestically. Are there still phone companies w/ landlines??
Same in France…my brother had to succumb last fall. Yes, there are companies that still install landlines. I looked into in a couple of months ago :).
I have a land line.... but my internet connection comes through it. 😱
That is NOT a land line. Damn phone company/WIFI providers have deliberately used the description of central office, impervious to power outages LANDLINE term on internet phones. Kinda like changing the definition of VACCINE to include what should NEVER have been called and treated like a vaccine: Covid Shot.
There are NO LANDLINES where the phone company maintains a central office. The sweet young things selling home phones are referring to Voice over IP, OR WFI PHONES as land lines. Question to ask to sort this deliberate mislabeling: “If power 💪🏼 f out for 2 days, will my phone still work?” And or “ does my phone line have battery back up.” If the phone number uses battery back up it is not an old fashioned “land line” Also, if your WIFI company bundled it with WIFI and/or tv, it is not old fashioned land line. AT&T has pretty much eliminated central office, old fashioned land lines.
I wrote this when they undid my landline.

This: “I don't want to be Digitalized, Equitized and Inclusified. Leave me out. Please.” 👏👏👏
I totally agree. I’m still wondering why my appliances need to bug my cell phone when they’re finished doing what I turned them on to do. Now, if my dryer could FOLD my clothes, maybe I wouldn’t be so snotty.
A few companies technically still offer traditional landline service, but availability depends entirely on the specific address. They are very few and very far between…AND the infrastructure has to be pre-existing. You can get an analog land line from AT&T (limited states and shrinking availability), CenturyLink / Lumen, Frontier, and Verizon (Northeast). But most of these companies will not install new copper lines and will only maintain existing lines.
The GOOD NEWS, is that, thanks to tin foil hat wearing folks like us, there’s actually a small but serious movement among emergency planners, rural communities, and some security professionals to preserve analog copper landlines — because they have a few properties that modern systems don’t replicate very well. Hopefully that movement will grow🙏🙏🙏.
You get it! Thank you. I can’t tell you the confusion the misnaming has caused. Why the companies weren’t forced to use a new term for their home phone offerings is beyond me. As an ex English teacher turned sales rep, WORDS MATTER. I had the same knee jerk reaction to people using pronouns of they/them. Those words HAVE a standard meaning: they/them are plural. If I call the fire department and someone says “they will be right there”, I don’t want one 5 foot tall woman to show up, I want multiple people to help! We need to go back to teaching etymology.
Can you even get a landline now?
Yep. But it ain’t easy.
From?
I have a landline through Frontier cable to the premises
We have a landline from Spectrum.
Probably NOT! Do they state a battery back up? If so, as I suspect, you have WiFi supported phone in your house.
Yep...just got back from Hawaii and refused all the photos. You have to tell them as you walk up, before you are stationary. Hubs told them, but it was too late...
OFF TOPIC, but important!
The diabolical mRNA transfection bioweapons MUST be recalled and the inherently dangerous and deadly mRNA transfection platform MUST be banned.

Here's the written comment that I submitted:
ACIP Secretariat, ACIP Meeting, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Docket No. CDC-2026-0199.
The COVID modified mRNA-LNP genetic shots must be recalled.
The mRNA transfection platform itself is irreparably flawed & inherently dangerous and the platform itself IS the primary problem.
The mechanism of action (using mRNA instructions to turn one’s own cells into foreign non-self “spike protein factories”) IS the primary mechanism of harm. This triggers an immune system attack response, starting with the Killer T-Lymphocyte cells which will target & destroy one's formerly healthy cells, ANYWHERE in the body, that are now expressing non-self proteins...starting a cascade of damage at the deepest biological/cellular level.
Due to the systemic biodistribution properties of the (toxic & inflammatory) lipid nanoparticles, the encased (designed to be long-lasting) n1-methyl pseudouridine modified mRNA can go anywhere in the body, including crossing the blood-brain & placental barriers. The LNP "delivery vehicles" traveled to different parts of the body in different people.
Expressing any foreign non-self protein is fatal to the cell doing the expressing. Some people will express lots of foreign proteins in vulnerable locations. Others express less in less vulnerable areas.
The location of expression defines the adverse event: if you get foreign protein expression in your heart cells, you could get myocarditis & experience cardiac arrest; if in your brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system, you could get one or more of a variety of neurological conditions; if in your eye, possible blindness; if in your ovaries, possible infertility; if in the placenta, possible miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth defects; if in the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, possible vascular &/or microvascular injuries like clots/microclots or the long white fibrous clots, leading to strokes, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolisms…
If the expression of foreign proteins is in your own immune cells, you could experience immune dysfunction, dysregulation, & suppression including repeated infections, immune tolerance of a pathogenic foreign protein due to antibody subclass switch to IgG4 & increased IgG4-related diseases, T cell exhaustion, interference with & suppression of innate immunity, persistent systemic inflammation, dysregulation of toll-like receptors and reduced cancer surveillance or the suppression of tumor-suppressing immune system activities & cell-signaling (increasing your risk of fast-growing and aggressive cancers). And more…
Pathology reports, including from autopsies, have revealed & confirmed the Killer T Lymphocyte infiltration & destruction of cells, oftentimes in vital organs.
These modified mRNA-LNP genetic transfection shots never would have passed proper safety studies required for gene therapy products. Safety studies (including biodistribution, immunogenicity, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, shedding, long-term effects, & more) that were bypassed because of the mislabeling as “vaccines”. (And because of the EUA & “countermeasure” designations under the Project BioShield Act & PREP Act).
The danger is NOT limited to just getting more COVID “boosters”. ANY mRNA gene “therapy” product that transfects your cells & instructs those cells to produce non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) will trigger an immune system attack response against your own cells & tissues. This makes EVERY mRNA-based transfection product harmful by design.
This immune response to one's own cells being instructed to express non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) triggers autoimmune responses, & then T-cell exhaustion & immune system dysfunction, regardless of whether or not the foreign protein is toxic itself.

The immune dysfunction & collapse that has manifested in an unprecedented number of people worldwide, accompanied by surges in autoimmune conditions, chronic infections, cancers, & cardiometabolic disease is unfortunately very real, no matter how much some want to deny what is happening.
This is not speculation. This is measurable — in lymphocyte counts, antibody profiles, T-cell exhaustion markers, & verified clinical outcomes, including deaths.
AND shedding from the mRNA transfection shots IS an extremely serious concern, with some people being affected more than others.

WOW very thorough and well spoken. Thank you!
Data annotation, labeling, critiquing articles, goes on right here. As a side job, I have worked with 3 companies. Yes, if labeling pictures, you do run across some "oddities." You are to report those and not do anything with them - at least for one company. You also sign an agreement stating that if you run into content that is sensitive to you, you report it and carry on.
Now, for AI answers, not only do you critique it, but you also try to "stump" the AI to fine tune its skills by asking complex questions.
It's a crazy time and noit easy to avoid it all. I have no Ring, no AI vacuum, or person locator app on my phone. no watch that will gladly alert you when blood pressure rises. I put a small post it note over my laptop's camera eye. I can only imagine what is in store for us next!
We have an early gen Ring camera for our front door but we haven’t installed it in over two years. Just sitting by my coffee pot. I’ve been thinking a LOT lately with all the crime that we need a camera. I’m feeling vulnerable and scared. My neighbors installed them front, side, and back last year. But now after reading all this I’m wondering what to do! I’d love that security and footage of ever necessary, but … darn it the angst.
I understand. What I have done for years is open my front door in the morning and let the light in ( I have an all glass door on the outside. The dogs love it and it is their "tv." In 20 years, I have never had anyone suspicious around - at all. And, my neighborhood is not a particularly safe one. At night, doors are locked of course, but that's it. The dogs would alert if necessary and we could all go out the bedroom window if necessary.
I just got an ABOVE phone this year, it is a google pixel that has been reprogrammed with the Graphene OS instead of Android for privacy. It uses a bunch of open source privacy oriented apps. You can learn more about it here:
https://peakprosperity.com/reclaiming-privacy-with-the-above-phone/
Also ditched Windows and switched to Zorin Linux on my laptop, it works pretty well and is free. (https://zorin.com/os/) Also it will run well on older computers that no longer can run Win 11, so you don't need to buy a new PC.
There is a lot we can do to keep our lives more private.
Good tips. Thanks!
I would love your take on the data "farms" being built EVERYWHERE, using massive amounts of land, water, and power and the majority of people have no idea it's happening. Would you please do a piece on this? (and then theres's the digital ID, cashless society nightmare...) Thank you~You are awesome!
I’m curious about this too. I keep hearing it won’t affect local power because they have to build their own reactors. And that it won’t use crazy amounts of water because the water in the data centers is recirculated. I don’t know if that is true or just BS to calm people down and sneak the data centers in.
Great idea, Michele. I'd love to see what Jenna does with data centers and AI.
Jenna, here are 2 collections of articles you can use as a starting point for your investigation:
> AI & Data Centers: https://bra.in/8vPMkJ
> AI is a an Environmental Disaster: https://bra.in/7vmZeZ
And, for "extra credit":

I answered are you even serious, but I also never thought I'd carry around a pocket sized device that tracked my every move or use a speaker to answer questions about recipes and temperatures. I also never thought I'd use Ai. Yet, here I am. Scary stuff.
Speaking of Ai and recipes …. I’m learning to make sourdough. I’m in the early stages (round two this morning!) and King Arthur offers a hotline, sort of like the turkey hotlines at Thanksgiving but year round. I’ve been on the phone with them practically ever day for the past week because I refuse to ask or believe what ai tells me. I want an experienced human from the trenches, with flour on her face and upper belly, guiding me. We just can’t replace the value of that in person, shoulder to shoulder learning. I missed out on that as an older kid when it came to baking and much of what I’m learning you cannot just master or understand following a recipe by your lonesome.
You are not wrong!
