in reply to *|FNAME|* 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱 • • •I saw someone wearing the Facebook glasses at a party recently.
I asked him in (I swear) a nonjudgmental tone, "Oh, are those the glasses that record everything? Are you going to post this later?"
This creepy, sad Stephensonian gargoyle, too prurient *not* to record but too ashamed to hold a camera in everyone's face, was suddenly awkward.
His answer to my simple question was mumbled, while walking away---I didn't catch it.
