We trip over the phrase “human dog bed.” Is it a human bed for dogs or a dog bed for humans? The Plufl Human Dog Bed (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is definitely made for people, which is why WIRED reviewer Medea Giordiano tested it instead of a furry friend. She loved lounging, reading, and even napping in it, thanks to the plush sides and memory foam base. If you, too, like to rest while curled into a little ball instead of stretched out on a mattress like a normal person, now’s your chance: The Plufl is nearly half off. The company…

Lawyers, advocates, and regulators are watching closely to see how insurance companies will shape…

Musk said on X, “Now, 10 times as many people per year are ‘pouring over the border,’ to use Obama’s words.” Now, 10 times as many people per year are “pouring over the border”, to use Obama’s words.

The commerce chief, much like U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, has sought to encourage nations in Southeast Asia to deepen their investment in chipmaking and related industries, at a time when much of that business still happens in Taiwan, China and South…
