The U.S. government today imposed economic sanctions on Funnull Technology Inc., a Philippines-based company that provides computer infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of websites involved in virtual currency investment scams known as “pig butchering.” In January 2025, KrebsOnSecurity detailed how Funnull was being used as a content delivery network that catered to cybercriminals seeking to route their traffic through U.S.-based cloud providers. “Americans lose billions of dollars annually to these cyber scams, with revenues generated from these crimes rising to record levels in 2024,” reads a statement from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which sanctioned Funnull…

I’ve written before about our morning routine and how it keeps our home humming. Now it’s time for me to dish the deets on nighttime routines. I also share my current personal nighttime routine and why I have the habits I do.  Nighttime Routine for Moms (and Everyone Else) A routine isn’t the same as a minute by minute schedule. One of the biggest breakthroughs for my sanity as a mom was switching to a block schedule. Routines fit perfectly into that and are basically scheduled habits. Once we get into the habit of routines, like brushing our teeth every…

I’ve always been interested in finding simple ways to bring more depth into web interfaces, not just through visuals, but through interaction and space. In this demo, I explored how flat UI cards can become interactive 3D scenes using GLB models, Three.js, and Webflow. Each card starts as a basic layout but reveals a small, self-contained environment built with real-time rendering and subtle motion. It’s a lightweight approach to adding spatial storytelling to familiar components, using tools many designers already work with. Welcome to My Creative World I’m always drawn to visuals that mix the futuristic with the familiar —…

This is to say that, when /Film had the opportunity for an exclusive interview with “Stranger Things” stars Finn Wolfhard and Gaten Matarazzo ahead of their turn as presenters…

EU Commission 'strongly' regrets announced increase in US steel tariffs

Britain’s steelmakers are bracing for a sharp escalation in trade tensions after the United States signalled it will double import tariffs on UK steel to 50% from Wednesday — despite a recent transatlantic deal to remove such duties. The expected hike replaces the 25% tariff President Trump imposed on foreign steel earlier this year, which officially came into force on 12 March. Although the Prime Minister announced on 8 May that a breakthrough deal had been reached with the US to eliminate the steel levy, that agreement has yet to be finalised — leaving UK steel exports in limbo.
