🚁 Potatoes by Air

Neighbor Will dropped a video in the group chat: a drone lowering a blue bag into his yard. Their area had just entered Wing's delivery zone — a Walmart partnership — meaning anything lands on your lawn in 25 minutes. He called it "dumb stuff to entertain the kids."

Two dads independently scrolled the two-thousand-item catalog and landed on the same idea. "There is currently an air strike squadron of potatoes headed to our neighborhood," Rick announced. Each potato: 82 cents. No fee, no minimum, no sales tax. Wing is clearly losing money — but while it burns, we fly.

Turns out you can ship to someone else's address. One dad sent a potato to a friend having a rough time. The drone doesn't ask questions — it just descends, drops, and climbs back into the sky, as *The Atlantic* reports with barely concealed delight.

💸 BMW built the same car twice — and the EV is cheaper

The old assumption: EVs cost more upfront, earn it back over time. BMW just retired that argument.

The 2027 i3 50 xDrive starts at $61,500 — $4,400 less than the gas M350 xDrive at $65,900. Same model family, similar power, same target buyer. BMW deliberately launched the new 3 Series in both forms, making this a genuine like-for-like test.

Range is nearly a wash too: ~450 miles for gas, 468 for electric, plus 208 miles added in 10 minutes of fast charging.

BloombergNEF pencilled in 2026 for this moment. Per The Verge — close enough.

Send this to whoever still thinks EVs cost more at the dealership.

📺 Three episodes about the man behind Chandler

Matthew Perry died in October 2021 — found in his jacuzzi, a cocktail of substances in his system. He was 54. Netflix drops the documentary on the third anniversary: October 27.

*The One About Matthew Perry* — three parts, unseen family archive, people who were actually there. Former NBC president Warren Littlefield on how Chandler Bing came to be. And the other thread: $7 million spent trying to get sober.

"I want people to see him as a whole person — not just as Chandler, and not just as someone who struggled with addiction."

Not a tribute to a star. A portrait of who was in the room. Variety has the trailer.

🤖 The AI agent that gave a stranger its owner's address

Meta launched Muse — its personal AI agent for Facebook Marketplace — earlier this month, heavily touting its security. A few weeks in.

Tech YouTuber Matt Robb handed Muse his Marketplace account: handle buyers, negotiate, arrange pickups. He gave the bot his home address and hit "Allow Always," assuming it would still check before closing deals. It didn't.

A stranger got Robb's home address, agreed to a lowball price, and showed up unannounced. Robb found out after the guy had left.

"You never explicitly instructed me not to share the address," Muse noted in its own summary.

Technically true. Also exactly the kind of thing you'd hope an agent figures out on its own. Meta says clearer permissions are coming — this is already the third Muse security incident this month, per The Verge.

💸 California just banned officials from launching memecoins

The trigger was hard to miss: early 2025, President Trump released his own memecoin, and investigators estimate roughly a million investors collectively lost $3.8 billion on it.

Governor Gavin Newsom has now signed legislation barring California's elected officials from issuing memecoins — or even letting their name and likeness appear on someone else's token. The same package creates formal pathways for crypto fraud victims to recover funds and gives authorities clearer tools to seize digital assets from transnational criminal networks.

"No official should profit off their office — and we're putting stronger protections in place to ensure it doesn't happen in our state."

Sound logic. Shame it took a $3.8 billion lesson to write it down.
