A street-legal land-speed motorcycle listed on Facebook Marketplace was all it took to set one Nashville YouTuber on a very questionable adventure. The plan sounded simple: buy it and ride it home. But vehicles built for land-speed records aren’t exactly known for comfort. Let’s just say things didn’t go entirely to plan.

The Jammu–Srinagar National Highway is the lifeline of the Kashmir Valley. It’s the only all-weather link connecting the region to the rest of India and has carried the economic and social pulse of the Valley for decades. While two alternative routes, the Sinthan Road and the Mughal Road, exist, both remain closed during winter due to heavy snowfall, making the Jammu–Srinagar National Highway the sole supply corridor through which essential commodities reach Kashmir. Last August, severe flash floods forced the highway to remain closed for 15 days. This caused a near standstill in life and trade. The closure resulted in significant economic losses, particularly for the horticulture sector, which relies heavily on timely transportation. Trucks brimming with apples, pears and other fruits were stranded for days, resulting in significant financial losses for growers and traders. In this challenging terrain, a local figure has become an invaluable source of information and reassurance for travellers: Tahir Ahmad Giri, better known as Tahir Banihali.  » Read More

Johanna Abzug vibe coded a tool to list her furniture while moving. "It was like an online garage sale," she said. Johanna Abzug Johanna Abzug wanted to sell her things when moving from Texas to Spain — so she vibe coded a marketplace. She tried Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp, but found that buyers were often "uncommitted." "I tend to like to do things the hard way," she said. "It's been so satisfying doing this." This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Johanna Abzug, a 38-year-old freelance product designer who lives in Madrid. It's been edited for length and clarity. We moved for political reasons. My partner and I had just had a kid, and we lived in Texas. I don't know if it was postpartum rash decision-making, but I decided this would be the best thing for our family. That was my main objective for over a year: getting us all moved. I had these big items. When it really got down to seeing all the things that are of value,  » Read More

A Dassault Rafale fighter jet. People across the Channel Islands were stirred, and in some cases shaken, by an early-evening “fly-past” involving a pair of mystery planes. The two aircraft made a low altitude, high-speed pass over both Bailiwicks at around 6pm yesterday, and left quite a few startled people rubbing their eyes and covering their ears – a multi-tasking challenge that requires great flexibility. As soon as the twin specks faded into the distance and the roar of their engines subsided, those who’d witnessed them turned to an old acquaintance to find out more – what’s the story, Facebook? Questions were asked on multiple different pages, prompting hundreds of people to offer their thoughts, with conspiracy theories fuelled by the lack of any information on established flight tracking websites. This being Facebook, the range of answers that came in was wide, some rather more credible than others. WATCH: Guernsey resident Erinn Doherty captured the planes on video. Some were anxious that the Channel Islands had suddenly become embroiled in the Middle East conflict.  » Read More
