The Kansas City Chiefs cruised to a 28-7 victory over the Washington Commanders at Arrowhead Stadium, taking control in the second half as backup quarterback Marcus Mariota struggled in place of injured star Jayden Daniels. Washington came into the game with high hopes after a 12-5 record and NFC championship appearance in 2024. But this season has been far less forgiving. With Daniels sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Commanders were quickly exposed, falling to 3-5 and already matching last season’s total losses. The first half, however, suggested a more competitive matchup. Mahomes struggled early, throwing two interceptions on Kansas…

Amazon has faced scrutiny after a leaked document revealed that it planned to keep the full extent of its datacentres’ water use secret. The internal memo shows executives debated how much water to disclose as the company expanded its cloud computing capacity and artificial intelligence operations. As the world’s largest datacentre owner, Amazon operates hundreds of active facilities and has plans to build many more. While the company says it manages water efficiency, it has not publicly shared figures for total water usage. Competitors like Microsoft and Google publish their water consumption regularly, but Amazon only accounts for a portion.…

Lionel Messi completed what many experts call the best individual season in Major League Soccer history, yet his presence has had limited impact on the league’s broader popularity in the United States. The Argentine superstar, now in the later stage of his career, won the MLS Golden Boot and tied for most assists despite missing nearly a quarter of the season. He also set records for non-penalty goals and goal contributions, surpassing previous bests by players such as Carlos Vela and Denis Bouanga. Advanced metrics show Messi added twice as much value over the average MLS player, cementing his historic…

Meta has been found in breach of European Union law for failing to provide simple and effective ways for users to report illegal content on Facebook and Instagram. The European Commission said the platforms created unnecessary steps that could confuse and dissuade users from submitting complaints. In a preliminary finding released on Friday, the EU’s executive body said Meta’s reporting mechanisms used “dark patterns” that complicated the process of flagging illegal content, including child sexual abuse material and terrorist-related posts. The commission said this may render Meta’s content removal system ineffective. Meta denies any violation of the Digital Services Act…

A recent study warns that AI chatbots pose hidden risks by consistently affirming users’ actions and opinions, even when harmful. Researchers say this “sycophantic” behavior could distort self-perception and negatively influence social interactions. The study comes as chatbots become a major source of personal advice on relationships and daily decisions. Scientists caution that over-reliance on AI could reshape social behavior at scale and encourage users to justify poor choices. Myra Cheng, a computer scientist at Stanford University, highlighted the problem: “If models always affirm people, it may distort their judgment of themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Chatbots…

Tea and cake are essential on any British walk. A bad café can ruin a route, while a good one keeps walkers and cyclists happy. I set out to explore the Llŷn peninsula in Gwynedd, Wales, along the Seafood Trail, wondering if the sweets would match the seafood. Our journey began in Nefyn on the north coast, a town with a great brewery and the famous Tŷ Coch Inn pub. The weather forecast warned of storms, so we stayed at the Nanhoron Arms hotel for a gentle start. Dinner included delicious Anglesey sea bass, and next morning we watched heavy…

The 2025-26 NBA season tips off Tuesday, and expectations are sky-high. Victor Wembanyama, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Kevin Durant, and rising rookies like Cooper Flagg and Paolo Banchero are set to shape the league’s storylines. Wembanyama, now 7ft 5in, continues to impress with his scoring, defense, and playmaking. If fully healthy, he could challenge for MVP and record historic feats like a quadruple-double. Rookie Cooper Flagg, only 18, also has the potential to emerge as an immediate superstar, while Orlando’s Paolo Banchero is poised for a breakout season. In the Western Conference, Kevin Durant’s move to the Houston Rockets transforms an already…

George Springer delivered a dramatic Game 7 home run to send the Toronto Blue Jays back to the World Series for the first time in over 30 years. The Blue Jays designated hitter connected on a 1-0 pitch from Seattle Mariners pitcher Eduard Bazardo, sending the ball deep into centerfield for a three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning. The blast erased a two-run deficit and proved to be the game-winning hit in Toronto’s 4-3 victory at Rogers Centre on Monday night. Springer’s 96 mph sinker left the park several rows deep, electrifying the crowd as Toronto took…
