The presidential hopeful called Reagan’s move a “great example,” but it’s generally illegal to fire workers in private-sector work stoppages.
Imagine this—you’re a schlubby professor, an everyman, the kind of dad who makes people roll their eyes and say, “okay, Boomer,” and you’re okay with it. And then, suddenly, you begin appearing in people’s dreams. Not just the people who know you—everyone begins to see you in their dreams. And with social media being…
Amazon has rolled out a new Kindle Scribe sale for Prime members. Each configuration of the 10.2-inch ereader is up to 22 percent off, which brings the base version with 16GB of storage and Amazon’s “Basic Pen” stylus down to $265. That’s $75 off the device’s usual price and only $10 more than the discount we saw during Amazon’s Prime Day event last July. The 16GB variant with a “Premium Pen” stylus — which includes a dedicated eraser function and a customizable shortcut button — is down to $290, while the 32GB and 64GB models are $305 and $330, respectively. (The higher-capacity options come with the Premium Pen as standard.) You can get each with a three-month trial to Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited service too; just be aware that the subscription will auto-renew by default.
We gave the Kindle Scribe a review score of 85 last November, and we currently recommend it in our guide to the best e-ink tablets. The big hook is that it’s the only Kindle with note-taking support. At its core, it works like any other Amazon ereader, but you can use the included stylus to jot things down in books and documents, create to-do lists, draw sketches and so on with minimal latency. The roomy, 300 ppi display and slim design are a delight, and you still get access to Amazon’s giant ebook library.
Amazon has steadily improved the note-taking aspect of the Scribe since launch, but there are still some shortcomings. You can’t mark up every book directly on the page — most have you write in windowed sticky notes — handwriting-to-text support is limited, and there’s no easy way to sync handwritten notes with services like Google Drive or OneNote. The device isn’t waterproof either. Generally speaking, we like the reMarkable 2 as a more flexible e-ink tablet for writing, while the Kindle Paperwhite is a better value purely for reading. But if you want some level of pen support without giving up the usual Kindle experience, the Scribe is worth considering, and this discount makes it a little more approachable.

Alibaba, best known for being one of my favorite Friday night inebriated shopping go-tos (I never know what’s going to show up!), is selling these $3,000 all-electric mini-tanks. Officially sold as the ‘Outdoor Playground AVT-T01 Kid-Friendly Rides tank vehicle all-terrain tourist crawler robot chassis tank ride,’ it will herald a new age of me terrorizing the neighborhood.
The vehicle is capable of speeds up to 19 MPH and has a battery life of 6 to 8 hours on a full charge of its 72V lithium battery. Unfortunately, the cannon is nonfunctional, which will be #1 on my list of modifications to install. Then, a battering ram and a cool paint job with fire and skulls.
Can you drive one to carry your clubs on the golf course? Of course you can; it’s an all-terrain vehicle. Now, whether your country club frowns upon mini-tanks on the links is another question. One answered with a volley of golf balls from your mini cannon if anybody tries to say anything! Haha, that’s right – you better take cover in that sand trap!

The 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro‘s cost has finally dropped into the triple digits. The 128GB sixth-generation model is at an all-time low price of $999 (hey, $1 under $1,000 still counts) from $1,099 — a nine percent discount. The deal is only available in Space Gray, with the Silver model coming in at $1,049.
Apple’s sixth-gen iPad Pro 12.9-inch came on the scene in 2022, and — though it wasn’t a major upgrade — it garnered an 87 in our review. The biggest change was a swap from the M1 to the M2 chip, which increased its GPU performance by 52 percent to a score of 32,834. The M2 chip also lets you record 4K resolution video in ProRes at 30 frames per second and introduces Hover, which lets you interact with some elements when your pencil is 12mm above the screen.
The 12.9-inch model’s features are identical to the iPad Pro 11-inch, except for the size (obviously) and it having a Liquid Retina XDR display versus a standard one. It’s quite a bit cheaper for such a small difference, with a nine percent discount cutting its price from $799 to $729. According to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, Apple’s 2024 iPad Pro might come with an M3 chip and have an OLED display, among other upgrades.
