📍 There’s an app for that: ICEBlock, a map app for spotting ICE agents, hit #1 on the App Store after CNN reported about it and then U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on X called CNN’s report an “obstruction of justice.” The app lets people pin sightings and get alerts nearby. No word from Apple if they’re gonna pull it.

That’s how much Amazon stock Jeff Bezos just cashed out. Fresh off a $50 million Venetian wedding, Bezos is back on the trading floor (well, metaphorically). It’s part of a plan to offload up to 25 million shares by 2026, because what’s a power couple without a little portfolio pruning?
🌞 Cool roofs, cooler robots: Researchers trained AI to design a paint that lowers building temps up to 68°F, seriously. It reflects heat, saves power and could murder AC bills. Tested on apartments in hot cities, the paint slashes electric use enough to run thousands of extra units. The kicker? It actually looks good.
Spider’s in the server: Qantas just revealed a data breach that hit 6 million customer records. No financial info leaked (phew), but names, birthdays and frequent flier numbers got scooped.

That’s what Google now owes Californians for quietly siphoning data from idle Android phones. A jury didn’t buy the “you consented in the fine print” defense. Instead, it ruled that Google ran up users’ cell bills.
It takes an AI village: X is getting more AI slop. It will now allow AI to write Community Notes, but only if humans give them a thumbs-up. You’ll see them labeled as AI-written. Bots are no longer just spreading misinformation, now they’re trying to clean it up, too.
🚨 Booking.com warning: Speaking of travel, scammers will email or message you claiming your reservation is at risk. They’ll say it’s urgent and you’ll lose your spot unless you click a link to “verify” or “pre-authorize” your card. Don’t fall for it. If you’re worried, contact customer service.
