If you’re one of those people who refuses to look at social media out of fear of spoilers, Meta’s Instagram-adjacent Threads app has a solution it hopes will keep you doomscrolling anyway. The new tool will let people mark words in their posts as “spoilers,” preventing eyeballs who haven’t yet watched, say, a certain episode of The Last of Us from learning a certain beloved main character’s grisly fate. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the feature “let users hide text or images that spoil a

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-09-14 12:00:13

One of the places that Jeff Bezos lives is a man-made island off the coast of Florida called Indian Creek Village. The island is predominantly populated by other billionaires and is colloquially known as the “Billionaire Bunker.” In fact, if you’re not a billionaire, it’s quite difficult to get in. The bridge from the mainland to the island is closed to the public and protected by armed guards and a sophisticated security system.

Agents of the Trump administration are increasingly using social media posts to crack down on immigrants, tourists, and even some U.S. citizens.

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-09-16 00:34:03

In Brief Nvidia doesn’t think the U.S. will backpedal its chip export restrictions to China anytime soon. The chipmaker is so convinced of that fact that it’s not going to include the Chinese market in its revenue and profit forecasts, CEO Jensen Huang told CNN on Thursday. Huang said he’s not counting on the Trump administration reversing its chip export controls and that it would be a nice “bonus” if they did.
