The Fourth of July is coming in hot, and so is some absolutely bonkers traffic. And while fireworks light up the sky, accidents and road rage are lighting up our highways.
An Oklahoma City driver laid on his horn when an SUV started drifting in his lane. Things escalated quickly. The SUV driver swerved to block the honking driver, then pulled a gun and shot him.
AT&T’s $5K oops: Did your call logs hit the dark web? You might get paid for it. AT&T agreed to shell out $177M over two juicy data breaches, one from 2019, the other from 2024. You could snag up to $5K, but you’ve gotta prove actual losses. Notifications begin Aug. 4.
🧠 Viral trend, real brain damage: Talk to your kids about TikTok’s risky new “Dusting Challenge.” This brain stunt features teens inhaling computer duster spray for what they think is a quick high. What they’re actually getting: seizures, suffocation and possible brain damage.
🚁 Bezos wedding floods Venice: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez just kicked off their three-day, $56M wedding party in Venice, complete with 90 private jets, island takeovers and blackout tarps for privacy. The AP is bravely snapping pics you can see here. Bezos did donate €3M (about $3.2M) to soften the blow on the locals, but that’s still far less than he makes during a yacht nap. I heard Bezos makes $1 million a minute between Amazon and investments, really.

Crypto-stealing selfie snatcher: Your camera roll might be your crypto wallet’s worst enemy. “SparkKitty” malware snuck into both Google and Apple app stores, scanned your photos and stole any crypto recovery phrases it found. Remember, never screenshot your seed phrase, and maybe don’t store your financial life next to brunch pics.
Foldgate incoming: Apple’s first foldable iPhone just leaked, well, unfolded. Expect a 7.58-inch inner display, dual 48MP cameras, titanium body and a new hinge made of … metallic glass? Coming 2026, or as I like to call it, soon-ish. Expected at $2,000+, it folds like a wallet, and empties one faster.
🕳️ Google reads your texts: They’re doing it again. Starting July 7, Google’s Gemini AI will tap into your Phone, Messages, WhatsApp and more, even if you’ve opted out of activity tracking. Google calls it “good news.” I found the secret steps to stop this nonsense here. Otherwise, your texts will be stored, scanned and possibly read by a human along with the things, up to and including being sold to who knows who. Not cool.
✈️ TSA greenlights digital IDs: Good news ahead of Apple’s iOS 26 update. It’ll let iPhone owners add a digital ID to Apple Wallet using their U.S. passport. You’ll be able to use it for domestic flights, but only at certain California airports (for now). And yes, you should still bring your physical ID, just in case. PSA: That’s not your Costco card.
