Meet Jinny Lu. She is a six year old rescue pug with bulging eyes, a tongue that simply will not stay inside her mouth, and a face that looks permanently and magnificently bewildered. At the 50th Annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, California, Jinny Lu was officially crowned the ugliest dog in the entire world. She won $5,000 and wore pearls for the occasion, because why not. But behind that gloriously chaotic little face is one of the most remarkable backstories in the contest’s history. Four years ago, Jinny Lu was rescued from [See More…]

Here is a story about a man who spent $100 million to avoid paying $13.3 billion, and we need a moment to let that math sink in. Google co-founder Sergey Brin, the world’s fourth richest person with an estimated net worth of $267 billion, has now donated over $102 million to a California campaign group called Build a Better California, which is fighting Proposition 40 — a ballot measure going before California voters in November that would impose a one-time 5 percent tax on the net worth of the state’s roughly 200 billionaires.

Anthropic, the company behind the AI chatbot Claude, has started embedding invisible watermarks into every single piece of text generated by Claude, globally, as of August 2nd.

If someone posts a fake review or a [See More…]

A couple ordering at a Shake Shack kiosk at Salt Lake City International Airport decided to test a theory — that Shake Shack charges you more if you do not tip. They ordered three milkshakes at $5.99 each, selected no tip, and what happened next is exactly what they suspected. The screen immediately flashed a message reading “Uh Oh! There has been a pricing update”, and every single item on their order went up by 50 cents, adding $1.50 to their total. They posted the video to TikTok and [See More…]

Here is something that was not on anyone’s 2026 bingo card. Myspace is making a comeback. The platform that defined early 2000s internet culture — where you carefully curated your Top 8 friends, picked the perfect background song, and spent hours making your profile feel authentically yours — is planning a full relaunch. Its current owners Tim and Chris Vanderhook confirmed the news in a brand new documentary, and their strategy is surprisingly compelling. Rather than trying to compete with TikTok and Instagram on their own terms, they want to position Myspace as the antidote to everything that feels broken [See More…]
