Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in a Los Angeles courtroom, denying that Instagram targets children under 13. Plaintiffs’ lawyers pointed to internal documents discussing a “tween” strategy and emails acknowledging age limits were difficult to enforce. The case is one of the first youth mental health lawsuits against social platforms to reach a jury. A verdict against Meta could test long-standing legal protections for tech companies. (Reuters)

Shares of Figma jumped 16%; the company beat on revenue, earnings, and guidance while offering a reminder that AI may be reshaping software, but not replacing it. Revenue rose 40% YoY to $303.8M, plus more than half of its $100K+ customers are now using Figma Make weekly. These numbers show that software isn’t disappearing; it’s adapting and charging for it.

Just a few months after hyping Blue Jay, Amazon has pulled the plug on the multi-armed warehouse robot built for same-day delivery. The reasons are that it’s too expensive, complex, and hard to scale. Now Amazon’s pivoting to a modular warehouse system called “Orbital,” designed for smaller same-day hubs, potentially even tucked behind Whole Foods stores. In Big Tech, it looks like even robots have short trial periods. (Business Insider)

Bluesky just let a startup plug directly into its app. California-based Germ Network is now the first private messenger to launch natively inside Bluesky, bringing end-to-end encrypted DMs powered by the AT Protocol. Instead of building encryption itself, Bluesky opened the door and let Germ handle the hard part. After the integration, Germ’s daily active users jumped 5x. On open social networks, features don’t always come from the top, sometimes they plug themselves in. (TechCrunch)

Snapchat’s direct-revenue business (including Snapchat+ subscriptions, Memories, and in-app purchases) has hit $1 billion ARR, and total subscribers topped 25 million. CEO Evan Spiegel is leaning into subscriptions as ad growth cools and big clients scale back, even testing creator subscriptions next week. Daily active users rose 5% to 474 million, and Snap’s pushing into wearables with its AR glasses subsidiary Specs. (Reuters)

Just because a website costs five figures doesn’t mean it actually works. Trust me, I’ve seen too many founders find this out the hard way. 

You spend tens of thousands on a gorgeous site with animations, clever copy, and all the bells and whistles… and it still doesn’t convert. The problem is that the site doesn’t make it obvious what you do, prove your expertise, or guide the right clients to say yes.

That’s why I built Show Your Work. We help founders launch websites that are ready to make you money in just 72 hours.

Our websites actually show what you do, prove you get results, and make it easy for your dream clients to give you their money. And they do all this for a flat fee of $6,495. 

Clean structure, messaging that builds trust, tracking, SEO, blog setup (all included). 

I mean it when I say this: It’s not you, it’s your website.
