Just saw my first @gsvalkyries.bsky.social game, and it was packed! @chasecenter.bsky.social is known as Ballhalla when the Valks are in the house, and they put on a show last night with a 27-point win over Seattle. Looks like the Bay is embracing its new #wnba team!

Like other wearables past and present, the Ray-Ban Meta glasses have a camera. But they don't have a screen, and they're aren't bulky. Looking like normal glasses — stylish ones, even — is key to their success, Scott Budman says.
