The price to skip the line you paid $209 a year to skip. Clear’s new “Concierge Express” lets you bypass the Clear line, because apparently, even fast isn’t fast enough. It’s like buying a VIP pass to your own VIP pass. No word yet on velvet ropes or red carpets.
The number of cat nap videos researchers scrutinized … for science. Cat’s out of the bag, 65% of cats snooze on their left side. Why?
