WHCD attendees caught snatching wine bottles off tables amid chaos in aftermath of shooting
The White House Correspondents' Dinner came to an abrupt and premature end Saturday night after shots rang out at the venue.
But the party didn't stop for some attendees.
'Repugnant!'
In the ensuing chaos after gunshots sounded at the Hilton, some dinner attendees decided to grab some souvenirs as most people vacated the scene.
One video has gone viral showing a blonde woman apparently grabbing two bottles of wine off an empty table, sparking an online "scandal" some have dubbed "wine-gate."

One account that posted the video wrote in a caption: "So, there you have press members STEALING wine bottles: this is who the press is! Repugnant!"
It is not clear whether the woman in the video is a member of the press or another guest. She has not yet been identified.
Another photo from the aftermath of the event went viral, gaining over one million views since its posting on Saturday night.
The photo shows a man in a white tuxedo holding what appears to be two bottles of champagne.
The caption of the post, made by a user named Comfortably Smug, reads, "Bro they are removing the journos from the ballroom and journos are taking all the booze with them two bottles at a time LMAOOOOO."
The White House Correspondents' Dinner was interrupted when a shooter attempted to breach security and opened fire at the venue. One agent, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, was shot and taken to the hospital. The shooter was subdued and taken into custody.

Kash Patel grilled over security failures following third assassination attempt against Trump
FBI Director Kash Patel is facing some tough questions in the aftermath of yet another assassination attempt against President Donald Trump.
Trump and members of his Cabinet were targeted Saturday night at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner after a gunman rushed past a security checkpoint and opened fire in the Washington Hilton lobby. The suspect, later identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, was staying at the hotel and was armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives.
'It was a total failure.'
Before he was apprehended and taken into custody, the gunman shot a Secret Serviceman who was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Allen's alleged manifesto was later made public, revealing anti-Trump and anti-Christian motivations that may have fueled the attack.
Although the Secret Service successfully stopped the third assassination attempt, several questions remain about the efficacy of the security measures in place since the shooter was able to get that far.

"They did a great job on the ground," "Fox & Friends" host Lawrence Jones said of the Secret Service. "But they remain reactive. The proactive approach is still under great scrutiny. The president of the United States is averaging an assassination attempt once a year."
"So who’s going to do the investigating of the procedures?" Jones asked Patel. "Secret Service can’t investigate themselves because there are still people in leadership at the Secret Service that were responsible for Butler. How does that happen? It was a failure."
Patel acknowledged the failures that took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, but deferred to the Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Markwayne Mullin's leadership. Patel did not detail which procedures or protocols would be improved or changed but indicated that some sort of reform would take place.
"I can’t speak to Butler, and I agree it was a total failure. Absolutely," Patel responded. "But I have full confidence in Secretary Markwayne Mullin. He oversees the United States Secret Service. I've talked to him repeatedly over the weekend ... and said, 'Whatever you need from the FBI, whatever we can assist in, and however we can better prepare to protect our protectees going forward, with the U.S. Secret Service, this FBI stands ready to do.' And we’re going to improve that process under Markwayne’s leadership and oversight of the Secret Service."

Patel was also pressed about the suspect's proximity to the event. He had checked into the Washington Hilton the day before. Although the Hilton hosts the dinner, only a portion of the hotel is secured despite the dozens of dignitaries in attendance.
"This was a matter that needs to be heavily scrutinized, because it almost took the lives of dozens if not hundreds of people," Patel said.
"We're going to be talking about how we improve the security, not just for this event but for all events going forward," Patel added. "We’re going to learn from this one, and we’re going to utilize President Trump’s leadership and backing of the blue and law enforcement and work with DHS to ensure our Cabinet, our protectees, and the American civilian population is as best protected as possible.”

I love my MAGA hat — but sometimes you want coffee without triggering a screaming meltdown
I went to meet an old friend for coffee on the East Side of Portland. I don’t make it over to the East Side very often. That’s the more progressive, “social justice” side of town.
That’s where the most WE BELIEVE IN SCIENCE signs are. And Pride flags. And other statements of left-wing beliefs, prominently displayed.
Who in their right mind would wear an actual MAGA hat on the East Side of Portland? You might get attacked by a woman with face tattoos.
It’s also where people get stabbed, shot, and drive their cars into other people’s houses.
I live on the West Side, where people are more reserved and reasonable. Though there’s a lot of SCIENCE and PRIDE over there too.
Philadelphia FreedomSo I pulled up at the cafe to meet my friend. The sun was out, so people were sitting at outside tables: a lesbian couple, three skinny guys with tattoos, and an odd-looking woman in a dress and lipstick — but also with a tuft of gray hair growing out of the bottom of her chin. I was a bit startled by that.
And then another surprise: When I reached for the cafe’s front door, I saw myself in the glass reflection. I was wearing my bright red Phillies baseball cap.
In case you don’t know, the Phillies are a baseball team from Philadelphia. Their team colors are red and blue. Their hats are red.
I also own a Boston Red Sox hat that is navy blue, a San Diego Padres hat that is brown, and some other hats of other colors. I wear all these hats randomly. I own all these hats because I play softball in the summers and I like to rotate my hats.
The problem with the Phillies hat is that it’s almost the exact same shade of red as a MAGA hat. So if people catch sight of it out of the corner of an eye, they think they have spotted a MAGA person.
For this reason, my Phillies hat has been out of my usual hat rotation. When Biden was president, I wore it occasionally. But with Trump back in office and Portlanders suffering from their various Trump derangement diseases, I do not.

Behind enemy linesEarlier that day, I had been wearing the red Phillies hat to run errands near my house. On the West Side, nobody cares what color hat you’re wearing.
But on the East Side, they do care. They care a lot. For instance, the woman with the gray beard had looked up at me as I walked by. She was probably checking my hat. And since it didn’t say MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, she went back to her coffee.
And really, who in their right mind would wear an actual MAGA hat on the East Side of Portland? Nobody. Especially going to a hipster coffeehouse. You’d be asking for trouble. You might get attacked by a woman with face tattoos.
Seeing the bright red hat in the door’s reflection, I had to make a decision. Go into the leftist cafe with my Phillies cap? Which might draw stares. Which might provoke comments. Or go back to my car and throw it in the trunk?
I mean, at some point, you gotta say enough is enough. A hat is just a hat. Even if it was a MAGA hat, shouldn’t I be allowed to wear it? Isn’t this America?
Our Lady of the Sacred HatI did have a MAGA hat back in the early days. This was when I was volunteering for a Republican candidate for governor in 2018. At some point, someone handed out MAGA hats.
Unfortunately, they were so badly made that they were unwearable. The top part of the crown wasn’t stitched properly, so it pointed upward in a clownish way.
Later, I found a real MAGA hat that was immaculate. It looked fantastic. But I never wear it. I keep it under lock and key. It’s my most prized possession.
To poke or not to pokeMeanwhile, back at the cafe, I had to make a decision. Seeing my hat in the door’s reflection, I could clearly see the big white “P” on the front. The “P” stood for “Philadelphia Phillies.” Any idiot could see that.
But leftists are crazy. And they can be dangerous. Especially in Portland. One is wise not to provoke them.
Also, my old friend was probably left-leaning himself. We hadn’t discussed it, but he lived on the East Side with his wife and kids. So even if he wasn’t a Democrat, he would have to pretend he was.
Did I want to put him through the awkward moment of seeing my bright red hat and asking himself, “Why is he wearing that?”
I did not. Nor did I want to get stared at. Nor did I want to have to explain myself. Nor did I want the barista to spit in my coffee. Or worse.
Live to fight againSo I went back to my car and threw my Phillies hat in the trunk. Fortunately, my old Los Angeles Dodgers hat was crumpled in the back. I uncrumpled it, put it on, and went back to the cafe.
Now there would be no problems. Though I did get a very suspicious look from the gray-bearded lady.
This Big Tech patent tracks your brain, eyes, and body — with earbuds
A proposed device has the potential to monitor how much energy a person's skeletal muscles produce, a patent application reveals.
The notion that earbuds are simply a convenient way to take phone calls or listen to music on the go may be a thing of the past if certain applications reach their goal. However, given the timeline, headphones may already be capable of recording complex biometrics of the person who wears them.
'The device may have more electrodes than are necessary.'
Online researchers have recently discovered the patent, first filed by Apple Inc. in January 2023, titled "Biosignal Sensing Device Using Dynamic Selection of Electrodes," which is still pending.
The patent describes how brain activity can be monitored by electrodes placed inside or around the outer ear of the user. Images provided look very similar to Apple AirPods.
The headphones are described as a "wearable electronic device, such as an earbud, a pair of earbuds, and/or a wired headset."
The earbuds would "measure biosignals of a user of the wearable electronic device," which may include, "but are not limited" to: electroencephalography, electrooculography, electromyography, electrocardiogram, "galvanic skin response," and "blood volume pulse."
All of these measurements seem incredibly intrusive, particularly when each term is dissected in detail.
First, electroencephalography is a technique that measures the brain's electrical signals and how its neurons communicate with each other. The patent literally states that the earbud "may be used to measure a biosignal, for example, an electroencephalogram (EEG), for measuring brain activity."
Things only get more bizarre from there.

Electrooculography, also known as EOG, is a standard technique for measuring eye movements via electrical potentials, which are the body's tiny electrical outputs. The body's movements — in this case from the eye — can be identified by how many millivolts are produced in the area.
Next is electrocardiogram; Apple wants its device to be able to measure electrical heart activity.
Additionally, blood volume pulse measurements would monitor the user's heart rate.
At the same time, the patent covers electromyography and galvanic skin response. These techniques also measure the body's electrical activity in very specific manners.
According to Cleveland Clinic, electromyography is a diagnostic test that evaluates the health and function of skeletal muscles and the nerves that control them. In this context, it would measure the electric activity produced by a wearer's skeletal muscles.

Galvanic skin response is described by Noldus as the measurement of "the skin's electrical conductance, which changes with sweat gland activity."
"This activity is controlled by the autonomic nervous system," the description adds. This means that the earbuds would measure the electrical conductivity of the user's skin.
Lastly, the patent describes that the device may have "more electrodes than are necessary" in order to measure user biosignals. The justification for this is to account for how the device is being worn, with it dynamically choosing between different subsets of electrodes at different times.
There is no clearly stated end goal described in the patent; it chiefly seeks to monitor brain activity and "biosignals" in a manner alternate to electrodes on the scalp. What that information would be used for is up for interpretation.
