Kathleen Tierney posted a Game of Thrones GIF as a joke on a city council Facebook page. A month later, she ended up in handcuffs for it. And lost her a six-figure job. Now, she’s suing for $3 million to prove that snark isn’t a crime.

Plus,  Bill Gates’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, inside Zuckerberg’s $170M Florida mansion and how your gas app snitches to your insurance company. 

And I talk to Sarah from Colorado. She has a drone problem. One is being flown outside her bathroom window. She’s pretty sure she knows who’s doing it. I give her the tools to find out.

It turns out even millionaires have AI FOMO. Storm Duncan, a veteran Silicon Valley investment banker, put his 14-acre estate outside San Francisco on the market. But he’s not asking for cash. He wants equity in Anthropic. 

While some bet their fortunes on big tech, the police are using it to look into yours. It started with a $195,000 armed bank robbery in Virginia. With no leads and no suspects, police obtained a warrant to pull Google data from every phone near the scene. They arrested the thief, but the case could reshape your privacy rights forever.

Plus, Apple’s foldable iPhone (and iPad) could land as early as September, security giant ADT breached, and how to score cheap flights. 

Trevor in Los Angeles is caught in a messy divorce, but the drama isn’t just in the courtroom. He found a charge on his bank statement for spyware and is convinced his wife is using it to track his every move.
