I have sworn off swearing. What has worked for me, so far, is an approach that people in psychological circles call “positive punishment” and that regular people call “a swear jar,” writes Meghan Cox Gurdon.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and actor Jason Statham have a distinctive feature in common: They're both famously bald, and that definitely hasn't changed in the last few days. However, there are some images of the two men circulating around X, Threads, and Bluesky in which they both have substantially more hair than their usual shaved look, which in Bezos' case appears to be very freshly transplanted. It's all just photo editing fakery, AI or otherwise.

It's unclear how viral these posts are, but they're prevalent enough that a few members of the Verge team have encountered them in their social media feeds. Some people who shared them claimed …

Android owners looking for an earbud upgrade are in luck. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are back down to $169 at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, matching the lowest price we’ve seen. Google’s site claims the deal will last until 11:59PM PT on November 8th, and other retailers will likely follow suit. Some colors are already sold out, however, so it’s worth checking multiple retailers if you don’t see your preferred option.

The Pro 2 are great for Android owners and work particularly well with Pixel phones, which receive some extra tricks, including tighter Gemini integration. We praised the wireless earbuds for their improved design, which cut both weight and size while improving the comfort and fit. They have more powerful noise cancellation and a better transparency mode, though they still don’t quite match up to some of the best in the industry, like the latest Bose Ultra Earbuds. The default tuning leans towards clarity and crisp detail, rather than boosted bass, with both presets and a five-band EQ to adjust them to your liking.

After Apple raised iPhone prices earlier this year, a new rumor claims it plans to launch the base iPhone 18 with a higher price, too.

As part of the iOS 27.3 update rolling out on Tuesday, Apple announced developers can now integrate Siri AI's new features in "all apps," allowing the voice assistant to draw on a user's personal context, process natural language prompts, and use on-screen awareness to complete requests.
