As I scrolled through TikTok, attempting to calm my nerves, a Google Calendar notification flashed on the screen: “VIDEO CALL WITH SIMONE.” Before I could swipe the reminder away, Simone FaceTimed me. I attempted to rehearse my greeting as the call buffered: Should I keep it cool with a, “Hey, what’s good?” No, that sounds cold. What about a Keke Palmer-esque, “Girl!” No, that’s doing too much. “Good evening?” No,

Trump Ends Tariff Exemption for Small Packages

wired.com Zeyi Yang 2025-12-21 08:17:11

US President Donald Trump just dealt another blow to the embattled ecommerce industry, which is still reeling from sweeping tariffs Trump announced in the spring. On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order widening the impact of those tariffs and making it more expensive for Americans to buy foreign products on sites like eBay, Etsy, and Amazon. The order eliminates the so-called “de minimis” provision, a long-standing policy that allowed people in the US to import packages valued at less th

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-21 17:27:07

According to the White House's announcement of this change, shipments will either be assessed with an ad valorem duty equal to

SpaceX Is Gearing Up for Starship’s Next Flight After a String of Explosive Setbacks

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-12-24 12:45:18

SpaceX is prepping the Starship rocket for its upcoming test flight, expected to take place in early August. The rocket’s last few launches did not go smoothly, leaving SpaceX in a bit of a slump as it rushes to develop a fully reusable Starship. The company desperately needs a win ahead of its planned uncrewed Mars launch in 2026, or at least for the rocket not to end up as burnt scraps at the bottom of the ocean.
