- Had a ton of fun riffing on Hollister’s new payment system that allows teens to send their online carts directly to their parents for payment.
- And closed with a look at why in the world the city of Chicago would be planning to roll out one-to-one autonomous delivery vehicles, when, in the very same week, Amazon announced its own plans to scuttle its Scout delivery robot.
There’s all that, plus the Tom Brady and Gisele divorce rumors, what famous art we would wear on a t-shirt, and, if I were a superhero, what my superpower would be.
