Just imagine asking your optometrist to add night vision to your prescription lenses. Sign me up!

🌟 Celeb appreciation: Morgan Freeman thanked fans on X for exposing a TikTokker using AI to mimic his voice. The woman pretending to be his “nepo niece” (a relative who benefits from someone’s fame) used fake Morgan to narrate her day-in-the-life video. The clip pulled in hundreds of thousands of likes.

🥫 Inflation hits hard: A guy is going viral on TikTok for tapping the “Reorder” button in his Walmart grocery app. What was $126.67 two years ago for groceries (45 items) is now $414.39 for the very same products. I wouldn’t be surprised if Walmart limits access to past order histories.
