Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day.

5 things

1⃣ Social media addiction

A California jury found Meta and YouTube liable on all counts in a landmark case that accused the tech giants of intentionally addicting a young woman and injuring her mental health. The decision could lead to major changes in how social platforms operate. Big Tech critics hail ‘Big Tobacco moment.’

2⃣ Cuban exiles

Havana is calling on them to invest in the island, but many in the US are rejecting the offer. They see it as a desperate move by a government under mounting economic and political pressure.

3⃣ A unique phenomenon

The puzzle pieces of our planet’s rocky crust are slowly and steadily moving. It’s a process known as plate tectonics, and scientists just found new clues as to when it all began.

4⃣ ‘Raining cats and dogs’

Britain is far from the wettest place on Earth, yet it has a reputation as a gray landscape with miserable weather where umbrellas are required 24/7. Tourists don’t seem to care.
