Watching your life

What Mark Zuckerberg spent on two yachts just to go skiing. He shipped his 387-foot mega-yacht and its $30M helipad buddy 5,300 miles just to shred some fjords in Norway without technically violating local laws that ban choppers from landing on actual land.

That’s how much Jeff Bezos is cashing in by selling his Amazon shares. The former Amazon overlord, who’s long since traded in Seattle drizzle for space travel and strategic newspaper edits, is selling some of his Amazon stock like it’s a garage sale at a billionaire’s mansion. Is he prepping for married life?

The number of humanoids Morgan Stanley expects to exist by 2050. Yes, that’s one bot for every eight people on Earth. So if your coworker gets replaced by a robot, don’t panic, statistically, so will you. If you’re picturing WALL-E with better knees and worse social skills, you’re not far off.

The drop in total apps on Google Play since early 2024. The Play Store went from 3.4 million apps to 1.8 million in just over a year. Less of a spring cleaning, more of a digital purge. If your flashlight app disappeared, now you know why. It’s not looking so hot for app developers.

The weekly amount of weight training needed to gain muscle. One study found just two 30-minute sessions a week helped participants get noticeably stronger and more jacked (paywall link), no five-day grind or bro science required. One set per exercise. Nine moves. That’s it. I hear you: “Instead of calling my bathroom the John, I call it the Jim. That way I can tell people I go to the Jim every morning.”

That’s how many HTML attachments are malicious. They usually show up in your inbox with names like “invoice.html,” and when you click, they redirect you to phishing websites. That’s where scammers steal your info or drop malware on your device. Moral of the story? Stay sharp and use real-time protection. My pick is TotalAV, just $19 a year.

The percentage of Americans who want businesses to disclose when they use AI. People just want to know if they’re talking to a human after years of chatbot creep, fake reviews and AI content. At this rate, Clippy from Microsoft Word would be a trusted news anchor.
