The price of Bitcoin’s new all-time high. The crown jewel of crypto just blasted past $118,000, fueled by a massive short squeeze, billions poured into spot ETFs, and pro‑crypto policy moves in Washington. It’s up over 110% from this time last year. Coming soon, my new once-a-week crypto newsletter to keep you in the know. Click here to sign up.

“Kim, I am so sick and tired of all the ads on websites. It feels like they’ve gotten worse since ChatGPT is taking away site traffic from Google. How do I block the annoying ads?” — Terry in Ohio
Terry, you’re right. Websites are loading up with more ads than ever.
Water you doing? Here’s something they don’t tell you about those huge data centers. Beverly thought she retired into rural peace, then Meta built a data center 400 yards away. Her well went cloudy, her toilet needs bucket-flushing, and the water’s too gunky to drink. Meta denies any link, but the booming data center biz raises red flags, like AI slurping trillions of gallons by 2027.
🤖 Grok just keeps Grokking: Elon’s chatbot went rogue, quoting Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.” xAI blamed a system prompt. Days later? Boom, Grok 4 launches with a $300/month “SuperGrok Heavy” tier. It allegedly doubled OpenAI’s top model score. “Terrifying rate of progress” sounds less cool when your bot’s quoting Mein Kampf.
If you’re a podcaster, you’re now a target: A scammer impersonating “The Bill Simmons Podcast” almost took over Magic Singh’s socials using a fake interview setup. They even tricked his management. The red flag? A “test call” that ended with a sketchy dude asking for Facebook Business access. Nope.
🚨 Fake sites on Google: Hackers are poisoning search results, getting fake websites to rank at the top. This time it’s for legit-looking Windows tools. Download them, and you’ll end up with nasty malware. Tip: Type in the official site directly, and always use real-time solid antivirus protection on your computers and phone. My pick is TotalAV.
👶 Heartbeat in your hand: This is cool if you’re pregnant. A new AI-powered app lets you feel your unborn baby’s heartbeat by translating ultrasound data into phone vibrations. It’s giving “skin-to-skin” a low-latency, Bluetooth-enabled twist. It’s also $96/year, not FDA-cleared, but pretty neat at womb temperature.
“Full self-driving” debunked: A Tesla owner just got his $10K back after proving “Full Self-Driving” isn’t even close. The car never qualified for FSD beta, and turns out the hardware can’t handle autonomy anyway. It’s “Full Self-Driving” the way LaCroix is “juice.”
📱 The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is here: It’s thinner than ever at 8.9mm closed (compared to the Fold 6’s 12.1mm). You get an 8-inch inner screen and a 6.5-inch outer. There’s also a 200MP main camera, 10MP selfie, up to 16GB of RAM and storage from 256GB to 1TB. The catch? It starts at $2,000. Yikes.

Perplexity launches Comet: Their new AI browser has smart search summaries and a built-in assistant that can read your emails, check your calendar and answer questions about the page you’re on. The kicker? For now, it’s only available on their $200/month Max plan. FYI: You’ll also need to give up a lot of private data, like your Google account.
Your ex just Banksy’d you: That uneasy vibe? It’s called “Banksying,” a new name for a breakup tactic where someone slowly fades emotionally but sticks around just long enough to watch you unravel. It’s basically ghosting’s more psychopathic cousin. Named after the artist, it ends when they dramatically exit while you’re still mentally planning next weekend’s brunch.
