These drones that people have spotted in the last several weeks have triggered an FBI Investigation and speculation online from figures like Rogan. On Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said on ABC News , “There's no question that people are seeing drones. I want to assure the American public that we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings.” Related Joe Rogan podcast controversy underscores bigger problem driving misinformation: Analysis Mayorkas reiterated that the federal agency is on the case and the drones are not a threat to public safety. "No foreign involvement with respect to the sightings," he said. But Rogan doesn't quite believe in the government's response and took to X to share his thoughts about the situation over the weekend. "I want to believe it's adderalled up incels holed up in a basement f***ing with 'the man' more than I want it to be aliens. #iwanttobelieve," he wrote . Rogan shared another post , this time with a video attached. His caption reads, "This is the first video about these drones that has got me genuinely concerned." The video features John Ferguson, a Kansas-based government contractor who builds systems and vehicles like drones, saying that the drones aren't a threat but, "The only reason why you would ever fly an unmanned aircraft at night is if you're looking for something."

FCC Permits Increased Device Flexibility in 6 GHz Band

We know you watched a few videos this year, but did you watch a few Polygon videos this year? To celebrate another year in the can, the Polygon video team gave each producer the chance (...and assignment) to shout out their favorite work from 2024 to give you an idea of where to dive in. Clayton Ashley The Great Game: The Making of Spycraft This video is more like my favorite of the last three years, because my colleague Simone de Rochefort and I worked on it at least that long. The Great Game: The Making of Spycraft is a feature-length documentary about the titular video game Spycraft: The Great Game . That big-budget, full-motion 1996 video game featured both a former KGB major general, Oleg Kalugin, and a former CIA director, William Colby. The parallel stories of two titans of Cold War espionage, and the making of a technology-pushing game, became too fascinating to ignore. Working on this video was unlike anything else I’ve done at Polygon. When I threw out the idea to have Jamelle Bouie — of New York Times op-ed, TikTok, Unclear and Present Danger podcast fame — narrate the documentary, I never dreamed it’d actually happen. We also had outside help for narration, graphics, and all the complicated production issues that full-length documentary creation entails, and it’s a testament to the whole team that it turned out as good as it did. If you spend the time to watch, I deeply appreciate it! ‘ Guy talks About Starship Troopers for 25 minutes NOt clickbait ’ I’m a big fan of Starship Troopers . Not only is it my favorite of Paul Verhoeven’s films, it’s one of my Letterboxd Four, and if my friends are any indication, it’s an R-rated feature our generation was exposed to at a very not R-rated age. Years later I learned and appreciated that it was a biting satire, perhaps the most biting in decades if the number of dissenting critics it fooled in 1997 is any indication. That’s a point that Pat’s video exquisitely illustrates. His video is actually a lot about Starship Troopers , both the movie and the book, as well as one of my favorite games of the year, Helldivers 2 . But that’s not why I think it’s important. Of course, I think all of our videos are important , but I think this video is important in a more... urgent way. Because... you know . (I’m gesturing around at everything. I realize now that this is much harder to convey in writing than in video.) While Starship Troopers and Helldivers 2 take center stage, what the video is really about is that it’s important to think critically about satirical media in a world where “Get it? It’s fascist” isn’t a joke. That even incisive, penetrating satires like Starship Troopers and Helldivers 2 aren’t without their flaws and limitations. That sometimes it helps to dive deeper not just into the commentaries filmmakers make, or the books that inspire movies like Starship Troopers (well, especially not that one), but also the history that inspires a director to make a movie about how war makes fascists of us all (yes, even that war). Christina ‘XTINA GG’ Gayton ‘ Subtle nerd clothing recommendations ’ My favorite video I did this year is this TikTok on subtle nerd clothing. It’s a sartorial interest I’ve had for a while and I’m glad so many people could relate to it. The video is about how geek apparel used to always be very bold and in-your-face, like Hot Topic T-shirts with the logo and name of the game on the front of a shirt in big, colorful lettering. These days you can find a myriad of clothing to express your interests in more subtle ways that would only be recognizable to other fans of the IP, such as the Unown pants from Atsuko (that I think might be out of stock now??). ‘ Sonic the Hedgehog Interview 3: Into the Shadow Realm ’ My favorite video from one of my co-workers is the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 interview Pat did with Ben Schwartz. I was impressed by their improvisational chemistry. I think it’s a testament to the creative possibility for interviews and how they can be fun and interesting. It felt like watching two friends rather than a professional interview. Also, I LOVED Sonic the Hedgehog 3 . It was so good. Patrick Gill ‘ Tekken is still weird and that’s what makes it great ’ I loved making this video because I got to dip into all of my little interests and tie them together: fighting games, animation, martial arts films, and weird wrestling history. But on a more personal level, I wanted to eulogize the spirit of martial naïveté. Growing up in a pre-MMA world with limited internet access, it was entirely possible for kids like me to go to our strip-mall karate classes and practice throwing chambered punches from our deep horse stances, believing we were learning how to fight. When I saw schoolyard scraps devolve into clumsy, red-faced grappling, I could tell myself it was because neither one of them knew how to execute a well-targeted palm strike. My sensei’s word was law, and my sensei said if an opponent grabbed my lapel like this , I could counter with a wrist lock like this . It was a comforting dream. Anyhoo! This is a video about how fighting affects fantasy and how fantasy affects fighting. I have a lot more to say on the topic and maybe, one day, I will! ‘ Stop lying about Assassin’s Creed Unity’s Notre Dame ’ Boy, do I love to see a myth busted. Take that, you stupid myth! Sometimes, you hear something, and you believe it. Maybe you repeat it to someone else — perhaps because it confirms how you think about the world, or because it makes you mad, because it is just nice to think about. Did you know Rutger Hauer improvised that entire Blade Runner monologue on set ? Wow! It’s especially easy to do this on the internet, where I can overlay some text on a picture of Keanu Reeves and convince a not-insignificant number of people that he holds opinions on the topic of “fake friends.” I love it when someone puts the time and effort into thoroughly correcting the record. But once is never enough. Simone has made this video a few times now in different forms . Misinformation can be genuinely harmful, or just seriously annoying, but it is always hard to kill. It comforts me to know that each time this particular myth swells up from the roiling bogs of discourse, Simone will be there to fight the good fight. Simone de Rochefort ‘ I played Elden Ring wrong for two years ’ This is maybe not my most substantial work, but I love when I am inspired to make something because shit is just happening to me . The anecdote at the core of this video is that I spent two years brute-forcing and cheesing my way through Elden Ring , only for my boyfriend to look at my build and go “your shit’s fucked.” But also : It’s about how I was having fun anyway . But also : The response to the video has been my favorite part. I was understandably a bit apprehensive about putting out a video basically saying “lol I’m bad at video games.” But there’s a ton of people in the comments being encouraging, or sharing their stories of sucking at Elden Ring , and it made me really happy! For me, having fun isn’t synonymous with being good at something, and it looks like I’m not alone! ‘ Elden Ring does this better than anyone else ’ The thing about this video is that I was going to make it. I like making videos about how game mechanics work, and the idea was to do one about how cloth is modeled. I turned to Gwen Frey, who I had interviewed about the Bread Boy in BioShock Infinite , because she had worked on video game cloth design before. We had a great interview, and then I sat down to write the video, and it just... didn’t work. Separately, Pat had pitched a video about Elden Ring ’s costuming and how it communicated character design. This also didn’t end up going anywhere. Until . Pat needed an idea for his next video, and I needed to stop lying to my boss about how I was making a video about cloth. The solution was clear: Pat was going to make a video about cloth. And he knocked it out of the park. The great thing about Pat is that he’s incredibly skilled at observing and explaining tiny details in games. And there are so many tiny details in Elden Ring . He takes a huge topic (ALL OF THE CLOTH IN ELDEN RING ???), and makes it funny and digestible and educational. He did a much better job with this than I would have, and I love it because he succeeded where I failed. And that’s why it’s so great to work on a team as talented as this one. Featured Videos VideoA musician who spent the last three Christmas periods in hospital on her own due to Crohn’s disease is hoping to “re-write the story” to avoid a fourth December admission this year. Kirsten Parry, 29, an assistant director of music at a secondary school who lives in Ash, Surrey, was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease – an autoimmune, lifelong condition where parts of the gut become swollen, inflamed and ulcerated – in June 2021. She noticed a change in bowel habits and her symptoms included abdominal pain, nausea, a loss of appetite and weight loss – and at her worst, she said she was having “accidents” and going to the toilet more than 20 times a day. Read more: Mum whose son was born premature praises support from the “incredible” staff in the neonatal unit Read more: ‘This might be my last Christmas – the thought my baby son might not remember me is heartbreaking’ She has spent the last three Christmas periods in hospital due to picking up infections which have “triggered Crohn’s flares” – and she said each admission has been “lonely” and “scary”. This year, although Kirsten has a “fear of sickness” during the winter period, she is hoping to avoid a fourth hospital admission over the festive period and wants to create “positive stories of Christmas”. Kirsten told PA Real Life: “Everyone seems to have so much energy and excitement at this time of year and I just don’t have that anymore. “I just keep getting these memories and intrusive thoughts of this time a year ago, and whenever I go into the bathroom, I think, this is where I was lying on the floor, screaming. “What I’m trying to do this Christmas is almost re-write it and think, well, I’m going to change the narrative this year and hope that I don’t have to go into hospital. “But also, I’m going to create so many positive memories, so that next year I’ve got positive stories of Christmas.” According to the charity Crohn’s & Colitis UK, Crohn’s disease is a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) where parts of the gut become swollen, inflamed and ulcerated. Crohn’s is a lifelong condition and, currently, there is no cure – but medicines, surgery, or a combination of both can help keep symptoms under control. For Kirsten, she explained that she had “never had a medical condition in (her) life” up until her Crohn’s disease diagnosis in June 2021. Although she said there is not yet “solid evidence to connect the two”, she believes her symptoms started after she contracted Covid-19 in December 2020. “I started teaching in school again – this is January 2021 – but the children weren’t in school, I was teaching from my computer,” she said. “I remember having to set them off on a task, turn my camera and microphone off, run to the toilet, come back, set them on another task, run to the toilet, come back.” Kirsten said her symptoms included sharp abdominal pain, nausea, a loss of appetite, weight loss and diarrhoea, and she was going to the toilet with “urgency” around 10 times a day at this point. However, she believed these “distressing tummy symptoms” were related to the “stress and anxiety” of her job during the Covid-19 pandemic – and she did not book a GP appointment until her friend encouraged her to do so. After a blood test and two stool samples, it was revealed Kirsten’s faecal calprotectin levels – an inflammatory marker – were “abnormal” and she was referred to the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford. Following her referral appointment in April, Kirsten said she had a colonoscopy and an MRI scan, which led to her official Crohn’s disease diagnosis on June 24 2021. “Doctors and nurses said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s showing up as mild, so we should be able to sort this out with minimal medication’,” she said. “Apart from being a bit anaemic, I’ve never had anything wrong with me, so I was upset and confused.” Kirsten was prescribed the first of several medications, including Pentasa, followed by steroids such as Budesonide, but her faecal calprotectin levels continued to rise. She said she started having “accidents” and her symptoms worsened in “a debilitating way”. During an appointment with her consultant in August 2021, aged 25, she said she broke down in tears, feeling “mortified”, and thought: “I shouldn’t be having to change my underwear halfway through the day.” Although Kirsten’s scans showed her Crohn’s disease as being mild, she said her faecal calprotectin levels were still “through the roof” during follow-up appointments. She then developed “an unknown infection”, which led to sepsis, followed by Clostridioides difficile – a highly contagious bacterial infection – and she was hospitalised in December 2021. She said she was not allowed any visitors and, due to the condition being contagious, she could not leave her hospital room unless she needed to have an X-ray and she could only wash herself at the sink. “I started getting these new gastro symptoms, so I started passing blood,” she said. “I was bleeding and passing things that I’ve never seen before, including the lining of my colon.” Kirsten was discharged on Christmas Eve but, due to being “very thin and very weak” and living away from her family, she spent Christmas Day sleeping on the sofa at her friend’s house. During the following week, she said she started having “accidents during the night” and her inflammatory markers were “sky-high”, leading her to have a capsule endoscopy – a small capsule that takes pictures as it travels along your gut. She said this revealed her Crohn’s was, in fact, severe, not mild, and she had “ulceration everywhere” in her small bowel. Kirsten was then given a nasogastric (NG) tube to feed herself with a liquid diet for three months and she was prescribed the medication Infliximab, which has been a “game-changer”. Although this medication has helped alleviate her symptoms, she said she constantly thinks about three things: toilets, food and germs; during her day-to-day life, which is “exhausting”. “I would say I have an intrusive, anxious thought relating to either immunosuppression or Crohn’s probably every minute,” she said. “My head feels like it’s exploding sometimes.” Kirsten said her Crohn’s has led to six hospital admissions in total since her diagnosis – including during the Christmas periods in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, she was admitted due to an infection, which then triggered a Crohn’s flare and, in 2023, she was admitted with acute gastroenteritis – a condition that causes diarrhoea and vomiting. She said she has been able to manage her Crohn’s with regular check-ups and medications, and she is learning to base her thoughts and actions on “evidence”, rather than anxiety, as this can exacerbate her symptoms. She wants to encourage others to advocate for themselves and “trust (their) own instincts” when it comes to their health – and to enjoy Christmas this year, she is planning to “do something nice each day”, such as going for walks and meeting up with friends. Speaking about her advice to others, Kirsten said: “It’s only embarrassing if you let it be embarrassing.
