Prime Panic
Last night, Amazon found itself seated in the hottest seat in America—President Trump's. In an internal memo, the e-commerce giant discussed breaking out tariff surcharges next to product prices. Trump called Jeff Bezos, furious at the idea, calling it a "hostile political act."
 Yet, hours later, the White House changed its tune: Bezos was declared a "good guy," the misunderstanding cleared up, and Amazon assured the public they had no such plans. In the tariff era, even shopping carts weren't safe.

Looking up at the night sky recently and thinking, "Wow, there are more lights than I remember," you're not alone. With Amazon launching 27 satellites this week for its Kuiper constellation, joining SpaceX's Starlink fleet, Earth's orbit is getting crowded—and fast. Over 14,000 satellites circle the planet right now, and thousands more are on the way.
 It's good news for remote internet users, but there's a dark side: catastrophic collisions. It only takes a tiny piece of debris to trigger—known as Kessler Syndrome—creating more debris, more collisions, and potentially making entire orbits unusable. Who manages all this traffic, you ask? Essentially no one. Experts are raising alarms, but there's no oversight, so the next space disaster could be around the corner—literally.

Ashes to Ashes, Trust to Dust
Imagine trusting a funeral home with your pet's remains, only to receive someone else's ashes instead. The nightmare became reality for over 6,500 pet owners in Pennsylvania, where Jacob Vereb allegedly pocketed $650,000 by dumping animal remains.
 There were pets stacked in garbage bags, fake records, and cremations that never happened. Investigators say smaller pets were thrown out, but bigger ones had their ashes divided fraudulently among multiple grieving families. Vereb faces multiple felony charges, and authorities have set up a site to help pet owners. It's heartbreaking to see how deeply some betray us.
