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.

“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.
I’ll skip the wizards and superheroes. Give me a movie that looked into the future and actually saw something real coming before we even had Wi-Fi.
These are the ones that got it right, eerily right. Some were made 10, 20, even more than 50 years ago, and they still hold up. If you haven’t seen them, add them to your list.
That’s how much Prime Day sales may have dipped this year, ouch. But a softer showing doesn’t mean there weren’t great deals. Shoppers are just choosier these days (recession brain is real). Essentials won, splurges lost, and flashy new features couldn’t quite save the cart.
Your phone keeps all your secrets. Where you’ve been. What you’ve typed. Even which sketchy Wi-Fi you used in 2017. It’s got the memory of an elephant and the self-restraint of a toddler with a drum set.
Let’s just call your phone “Sir Veillance.”
That’s the global box office haul for Apple’s biggest movie ever … so far.F1: The Movie beat out Napoleon to take the top spot in Apple’s box office history. About 1 in 5 tickets sold were in IMAX alone, making it the coziest way to feel like you’re inside an F1 car. Popcorn included.
That’s how many likes Tinder’s “most swiped right man” racked up without finding “the one.” Despite spending nine years and countless hours on the app (earning him the title “Mr. Tinder”), Stefan-Pierre Tomlin found love the old-fashioned way, meeting his girlfriend during a night out. She had no clue he was Mr. Tinder until she Googled him.
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? Experts say it activates the right brain for lightning-fast reflexes and spatial finesse. The purrfect slumber isn’t just cute. Think elite soldier … in sleep mode, dreaming of chaos.
The average used car price, up more than $8,000 since 2020. That’s not a typo. Blame supply chain chaos and automakers favoring pricey trims when chips were scarce. Now everyone’s diving into the used market, driving up prices, even for clunkers with mileage.
Nvidia just became the first company in history to hit this market cap. That’s more than the GDP of Germany. Not bad for a company that used to be best known for making your graphics card run Call of Duty without melting. Now, it’s powering the AI boom and casually leapfrogging Microsoft and Apple.
