👋🏻 Fakespot shuts July 1: Amazon’s fake review detector, Fakespot, is officially going offline July 1, 2025. The Chrome extension will stop working, and the devs say it’s been a ride. If you’re ready to break up cleanly, here’s how to uninstall it (highly recommended). Pouring one out for the plug-in that saved me from hundreds of fake reviews.
Wi-Fi in the sky without paying a dime (or close to it)
ChatGPT
Is it just me, or does it feel downright offensive to pay $25 for in-flight Wi-Fi that barely loads your email?
Here’s the nasty truth: Some folks on your flight are scrolling TikTok or answering emails for free.
The secret? A mix of loyalty perks, smart credit card picks and a little insider know-how. Let me break it down.
🆓 Airline freebies
You might already have free Wi-Fi and not even know it.
- Delta now offers free Wi-Fi on most domestic flights if you’re a SkyMiles member. No catch. Just log in, and it’s free to sign up.
- JetBlue offers Fly-Fi that’s free internet from gate to gate.
- Hawaiian Airlines is rolling out free Starlink service on its flights.
- Southwest isn’t free, but they offer all-day Wi-Fi for $8 per device. That’s cheap if you’ve got layovers.
- Some airlines let you stream movies and TV shows for free with ads. All you need is your phone, tablet or laptop. No Wi-Fi purchase needed.
🎬 Pro tip: Don’t count on the plane’s Wi-Fi working. Been there, it’s hell on wings. Before you take off, set your Google Drive to offline access and download a couple of Netflix movies or Spotify playlists to your device, so you’re not stuck staring at the seat back in front of you.
💳 Credit card or service
Some credit cards include free or discounted Wi-Fi perks that can pay for themselves after a few trips.
- The Southwest Performance Business Card covers up to 365 in-flight Wi-Fi purchases a year. That’s a free login every day.
- AAdvantage Aviator Red gives you $25 in Wi-Fi statement credits on American Airlines flights.
- United Explorer Card gives you 25% back on in-flight Wi-Fi.
Also, T-Mobile users, you get free texting and Wi-Fi on Alaska, Delta, American and United flights. Just enter your phone number midair.
👉 Pro tip: Buy Wi-Fi ahead of time if you’re not covered. Airlines like Alaska offer preflight passes for less than what they charge on the plane.
Food companies hate this app
ChatGPT
Healthy eating isn’t just trending, it’s something I’ve lived my whole life. I read every label, choose organic whenever I can and try to never eat processed foods. Knowing what’s going into your body matters, and I’ve always believed that.
500,000
That’s how many more home sellers there are than buyers right now. It’s the biggest seller surplus Redfin has ever recorded, including 2020 when no one was even sure if open houses were legal. Florida’s feeling the heat with six of the top 10 buyer’s markets, but sellers everywhere might want to start adjusting expectations and maybe listing prices.

The jobs AI can’t steal (yet)
ChatGPT
Larry from Louisiana writes: “Kim, what jobs are safe from AI and don’t need a college degree? I’m losing sleep worrying about my future and how I’m going to support a wife and three teenagers.”
Larry, you’re spot-on to be thinking about this. Supporting a family of five in this economy is basically a full-contact sport. You’re also asking exactly the right question.
