Bryan Johnson already took blood from his own teenage son. Now the anti-aging mogul says he’s cloned himself as a newborn to grow spare organs. His words, not mine. Before you picture a tiny Bryan in a crib, breathe. What’s actually in that petri dish is a long way from a baby.

Plus, Flock license plate cameras are in your neighborhood, while the company’s own CEO reportedly dodges the tech. (Read that twice.) I got an HOA letter about someone destroying them.

404 Media’s Matthew Gault on data centers and whether they’re quietly padding your electric bill. And a listener built himself an AI wife. A bad one based on movie villains. First man in history to engineer more nagging into his life. On purpose.

Free college cash, a drone that got someone’s insurance canceled and the honest answer to “Is my phone listening?”
