π Amazon's drone delivery is about to be everywhere
So I genuinely thought Prime Air was still this small pilot thing β like, a handful of towns, nothing serious. Turns out no. Amazon just announced that Prime Air is expanding to nearly 500 US cities by end of 2026. That's a sixfold jump from where they are right now.
Currently running in 11 spots across Texas, Florida, Michigan, Louisiana and a couple others. Next up: Chicago, Atlanta, Cleveland, Syracuse, and Boise metro areas.
Thirty-minute delivery, millions of items β groceries, meds, electronics. Free for Prime members on orders $50+, otherwise $2.99, or $4.99 without a subscription.
So yeah, drones buzzing overhead just becoming a normal Tuesday β 9to5Mac has the full list of where it's landing next.

π¦ AirTag inside a rare book led straight to an Amazon scanning facility
Booksellers had long suspected bulk orders were coming from AI companies. 404 Media hid an AirTag in a shipment β it ended up at an Amazon site where, employees confirmed, bindings are sliced off, pages scanned, and the books destroyed.
A 2025 US ruling deemed it lawful as "transformative" use of copyrighted material.

π¬ Okay so this actually happened
A Chinese animated film called *Niu Lai* came out on August 5th with some of the roughest 3D animation people had ever seen β viewers were calling the characters "ugly", "eerie", you get the idea. For its first ten days it was pulling in 200 yuan on a bad day. That's like thirty dollars.
Then it got memed. Hard.
Suddenly everyone wanted to go see the disaster in person, and on one Monday alone it sold nearly 300,000 tickets and made 8.2 million yuan. By the time the Associated Press picked up the story, the total gross had hit $2.5 million β against a budget that was clearly a few thousand dollars at most.
So yeah, the movie made over a thousand times its budget because the internet made fun of it. That's just how things work now I guess.

π§ Okay so this is a whole thing
So, Astarion is a vampire companion from Baldur's Gate 3 β voiced by Neil Newbon β and ever since the game blew up in 2023, he's basically become one of the most analysed characters in recent gaming. People are still picking apart his backstory.
Now there's an official prequel novel coming, written by award-winning author T. Kingfisher. And on October 8th at New York Comic Con, Newbon and Kingfisher are doing a panel together β "Before Baldur's Gate 3: Astarion's Untold Story", 12:15 to 1:00 p.m. ET.
The focus is specifically on the parts the game barely touched: the nearly two centuries Astarion spent under Cazador's control. How Kingfisher approached writing that, how Newbon thinks about the character from the inside.
For anyone who's spent three years going through every scrap of lore, this panel is kind of a big deal.

*Slow Horses* is Apple TV+'s spy series about Slough House, a dead-end MI6 department run by Gary Oldman's magnificently grumpy Jackson Lamb. In Season 1 (2022), Olivia Cooke's Sidonie Baker made a brief, unforgettable appearance before a very dramatic exit β the kind that fuels four seasons of collective audience denial.
The Season 6 trailer looks routine, then lands Sid in the final seconds. IGN reports an audible gasp. Fair.
Kyle Soller (*Andor*) plays the villain, Hugo Weaving is River's deeply unsettling father, and this season adapts two of Mick Herron's novels instead of the usual one. Premieres September 16.
Between Season 1 and now, Cooke became a *House of the Dragon* star. Slough House, it turns out, knows how to be patient.

πΎ 'Rafa' is the first non-English docuseries ever nominated for a Primetime Emmy
Netflix and Skydance Sports' four-part portrait of Rafael Nadal has made Emmy history β no non-English docuseries had received a Primetime nomination before this one.
Directed by Oscar-nominated Zach Heinzerling, the series opens in early 2024: Nadal ranked No. 652, chronic hip injury, nearly two years without a title. The career record behind him: 14 French Open titles, 912 consecutive weeks in the top 10.
The figure that anchors the whole series: the only Grand Slam Nadal ever won without pain was his first Roland Garros in 2004. By October that year he had a broken foot and a Mueller-Weiss syndrome diagnosis. He played for twenty more years.
'Rafa' is streaming on Netflix.

π Tottenham in talks to sign Savinho and Marmoush from Man City
Spurs finished 17th last season β 48 Premier League goals in 38 games. De Zerbi has rebuilt the midfield, spending Β£185m on Tonali and Fernandes, but the attack remains the clear weak point.
BBC Sport reports that Tottenham are in talks with Manchester City over a double deal for Savinho and Omar Marmoush β two forwards who fell out of favour under Guardiola. City paid Β£89m combined for the pair and would expect a profit on both.
The complication is Spurs' simultaneous interest in Liverpool's Cody Gakpo. Funding all three moves at once would be a serious stretch β something likely has to give.

Jamal Musiala, a key player for Bayern Munich and Germany, lost consciousness on the pitch for the second time in four days on Tuesday β six minutes after coming on as a substitute in Bayern's 4-2 friendly win at Heidenheim. The same had happened on Saturday against RB Leipzig.
Sporting director Max Eberl confirmed Bayern knew about the situation beforehand: "We are aware of it. Jamal will speak out soon." Heat above 30Β°C was flagged after Saturday's incident β but Tuesday's repeat doesn't fit that explanation as neatly.
Musiala missed six months last season with an ankle fracture from the 2025 Club World Cup, then returned to start three of Germany's four games at the 2026 World Cup. Two collapses in four days point to something that needs a clearer answer, per BBC Sport β which Musiala is expected to provide shortly.
