Peacock's movie library is solid. I say that as someone who regularly forgets to check out the NBC Universal-owned streaming service when I'm in the mood for a movie night. We get so used to tapping into the big dogs like Netflix and Disney Plus, and they are chock full of good stuff, but Peacock deserves its flowers, too. There's always something cool to watch on Peacock, no matter what genre you're looking for. Then there's the Universal part of the equation. Universal Pictures knows its way

Some people will tell you that no one wants to see pictures of your kids, but they’ve apparently never been on the Japanese marketplace app Mercari. According to SoraNews24, there was a surprisingly robust market for ultrasound photos on the e-commerce platform, which resulted in Mercari ultimately banning the sale of said images. Ultrasound images have landed on the list of “inappropriate items” that Mercari maintains, which are restricted from being sold on the platform. The ban will go into
