People keep getting wound up about hypothetical crying babies on planes. Let’s be real, the number one threat to your peace on any flight is far more likely be a stag do or just simply a man who had too much to drink

Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle on the rumour the company would list tariff costs by products: “The team that runs our ultra low-cost Amazon Haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products. This was never approved and is not going to happen." www.cnet.com/tech/service...

Sorry Shoppers, Amazon Says Tariff Cost Feature 'Is Not Going to Happen'
The White House said that if Amazon listed tariff prices next to products, it would be considered a "hostile and political act." But the company denies any plans to do so.

I think it’s time to admit that moralising over AI “art” isn’t working. We need an intervention from the world of fashion and trends. We need the tastemakers to declare it unchic and the hot people to call it unsexy. We must call upon the cool people who can expose AI art for the embarrassment it is

With what’s happened to Twitter/X and Zuck/Trump, many people are starting to feel like their tech choices are becoming political for perhaps the first time. But the truth is that despite every effort by big tech companies to persuade us otherwise, the tech we use has never been politically neutral
