Amazon's Antitrust Trial Has 17 States — and Not the One It's In
The FTC's monopoly case against Amazon is heard in Seattle, but Washington's attorney general isn't one of the 17 states that sued alongside the agency. The October 13 trial date in this week's headlines is also out of date — the bench trial is now set for March 29, 2027.

One Send, Three Recipients, One Fee
Lightning in a Jar can now pay several people in a single on-chain send, silent-payment addresses included.

A video making the rounds on X shows a wall of phone screens, each one a social media account posting, replying and liking on its own — the poster's caption claims a single AI dashboard is orchestrating fifty of them at once.
