Imagine a sports bar… but just for situation monitoring — live X feeds, flight radar, Bloomberg terminals, and Polymarket screens.

    If I were a hacker a DC bar full of drunk congressional aides placing bets on their unprotected phones and the bar’s lowest bidder ass touch screen computers would be a magical opportunity.

      If this were a scene in that Watchdogs game from like a decade ago, I’d say the devs were being lazy and making the most dense place for causing chaos/getting hacks (or whatever you do I forget at this point). Like write about hacking your way into tracing some press loser to a bar or something more creative.

      But instead its close to real. tequila-sunset
