Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason have inked a $100 million deal to hand over distribution of their sports podcast series, New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce, to Amazon’s Wondery publisher, reports The Wall Street Journal. The deal gives subscribers to Wondery Plus “early and ad-free” access to the popular series, Amazon announced.Wondery Plus subscribers will also get a once-a-year livestream of the Kelces’ show, according to the Journal. Otherwise, folks who listen to New Heights (which launched in 2022 and has since become one of the top US podcasts) on other platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or watch it on YouTube, probably won’t notice much of a difference. Excited for @newheightshow to

Snapchat finally launched an iPad app

Thirteen years after launching on the iPhone, Snapchat has finally brought its app to the iPad. In an update note on Monday, Snapchat announced that it now offers native support for the iPad, allowing the app to fill your entire screen for the first time.Until now, iPad users were stuck using the iOS version of the app, leaving them with unsightly black borders surrounding an iPhone-sized Snapchat interface. This made it less than ideal to view or take snaps on the app, as well as try on filters.Of course, this shouldn’t be an excuse to start slinging your iPad around in public to send pictures to your friends. Snapchat is available with iPadOS 13.0 or later.

Meta is going to let preteens use Horizon Worlds

Meta is opening up Horizon Worlds, its 3D social platform, to users between the ages of 10 and 12, the company announced on Wednesday. As part of the rollout, parents will have a significant amount of control over what experiences their preteens can access, and experiences will get age ratings to help parents determine which ones are appropriate for their children.For a preteen to use Horizon Worlds, they’ll have to have a parent-managed Meta account and request access to Horizon Worlds itself. Once a parent has approved that, preteens can request access to individual experiences or parents can mark a setting that lets their preteen jump into all experiences that fall within a certain age rating. (Meta will rate experiences as

A new bundle featuring revamped versions of EA’s MySims and MySims Kingdom will revive the classic simulation titles with Switch-optimized controls and updated textures.If you’ve never played MySims, it’s sort of like a cross between The Sims and Animal Crossing.

Each character has their own unique characteristics, like the bug-loving Gertrude Spackle and Yuki, who often threatens to bite your face for some reason.MySims launched on the Wii and Nintendo DS in 2007 before arriving on PC and Blackberry.

Instagram adds what photos have always needed: words

Instagram will now let you add text to your photos right from the post editor, meaning you won’t need to edit your photos in a separate app just to add some text. A bit of text might help your post stand out from the rest of the photos on your feed or help people see information that might otherwise get lost in your caption.From the post editor, you’ll also now be able to layer another photo on top of a photo as a sticker. When you tap on that layered photo, you can change its shape from a rectangle to a square, circle, heart, or star, according to Instagram’s blog post. This feature seems fun to me I suspect people will find some clever ways to use this in their photos.Reels and stories are getting some text improvements, too.

Heat-related deaths are on the rise, but they don’t have to be

Heat-related deaths are on the rise in the US, according to a new analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The number of heat-related deaths recorded in the US jumped 117 percent between 1999 and 2023, it finds. These kinds of deaths are preventable and had previously been on the decline. This study is likely the first to show an about-face in the US since 2016, the authors write.Keeping people safe when temperatures spike is becoming more difficult in a warming world. Heatwaves are more frequent and more intense than they used to be. Authorities need to put appropriate safety measures in place to prevent more deaths in the future, the paper
