    [Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be without your love
    I don’t wanna be without your trust
    I don’t wanna leave before I tell you I’m the only one that loves you
    How you gonna live without my love?
    You don’t wanna see the end in us
    Don’t you know that I could never love somebody else the way I love you?
    No, no

    [Verse 1]
    What do you see when you look at me?
    How do you feel when you’re touching my body?
    It’s not as deep as it’s meant to be
    Where do we go from here?
    What do you do when I’m outside?
    How do you feel? Are you missing me, baby?
    I know you don’t tell me everything (I, I)
    But whеre do we go from herе? (I, I)

    [Pre-Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be without your—
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you (My)
    Way I love you, love you (My body)
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you (My), way I love you (My, my)
    Way I love you (My)

    [Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be without your love
    I don’t wanna be without your trust
    I don’t wanna leave before I tell you I’m the only one that loves you
    How you gonna live without my love?
    You don’t wanna see the end in us
    Don’t you know that I could never love somebody else the way I love you?

    [Verse 2]
    Why’d you pretend you’re not into me?
    We both know the truth, why we holding back, baby?
    Is this as deep as it’s meant to be?
    I don’t want to believe
    I’m just as confused about you and me
    We both said before we don’t want to be something
    What a fantasy (I, I)
    This love could set me free (I, I)

    [Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be without your love
    I don’t wanna be without your trust
    I don’t wanna leave before I tell you I’m the only one that loves you (I, I)
    How you gonna live without my love? (I, I)
    You don’t wanna see the end in us
    Don’t you know that I could never love somebody else the way I love you?

    [Outro]
    I don’t wanna be without your—
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you (My)
    Way I love you, love you (My body)
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you (My)
    Way I love you
    I don’t wanna be without your—

  • English star Jorja Smith shares acoustic visual for ‘The Way I Love You’: Watch

    “This love could set me free”

    Jorja Smith - The Way I Love You

    Two days ago, Walsall-native singer-songwriter Jorja Smith released the official acoustic music video for her latest record, ‘The Way I Love You’. With this heartfelt release, the Burna Boy collaborator takes time to sing about wanting to hold onto her partner’s love and trust, although she’s experienced confusion and a period when he behaved as if he didn’t like her. Within the musical composition, she wonders how he would continue to live without her love when she’s the only one who loves him, and he doesn’t want to see their relationship come to an end.

    “What do you see when you look at me?
    How do you feel when you’re touching my body?
    It’s not as deep as it’s meant to be
    Where do we go from here?
    What do you do when I’m outside?
    How do you feel? Are you missing me, baby?
    I know you don’t tell me everything (I, I)
    But whеre do we go from herе? (I, I)”

    Regardless, the pair seems to be on the brink of separation, so Smith asks the difficult questions with hopes of getting answers.

    “Why’d you pretend you’re not into me?
    We both know the truth, why we holding back, baby?
    Is this as deep as it’s meant to be?
    I don’t want to believe
    I’m just as confused about you and me
    We both said before we don’t want to be something
    What a fantasy (I, I)
    This love could set me free (I, I)”

    Watch the music video for the acoustic version above. It is produced by Ed Thomas, Maverick Sabre, and Shayk.

  • McDonald’s introduces cash rounding policy as United States prepares to phase out penny

    [media-credit name=”McDonald’s” link=”https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/media-assets-library/media-article/mcdonald_s_wordmark.html” width=300 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    McDonald’s has quietly changed how it handles cash transactions in response to the forthcoming phase-out of the penny in the United States. Under the new policy, if a cash purchase ends in 1–2 ¢, the total is rounded down to 0 ¢; if it ends in 3–4 ¢, it is rounded up to 5 ¢; endings in 6–7 ¢ are rounded down to 5 ¢; and 8–9 ¢ are rounded up to 10 ¢. Totals ending in 0 or 5 ¢ remain unchanged.

    Importantly, prices listed on the menu stay the same. The change applies only to cash payments—card and digital payments still process the exact cents. ‌

    Why the shift? The United States Department of the Treasury will stop minting new pennies by early 2026 due to production costs that exceed the coin’s value. In 2024, the Treasury reportedly lost $85.3 million from minting over three billion pennies. With fewer pennies in circulation, retailers are beginning to adopt “cash-rounding” methods. Other businesses like Kwik Trip and Sheetz have already introduced similar policies.

    Reactions among customers have been mixed. Some argue the practice is confusing and feels like a hidden price increase, especially when rounding goes up.

    “Why not just change the damn prices?” one commenter asked.

    Others point out that countries such as Canada and Australia have operated with similar rounding systems for years and find the move practical.

    From your vantage, it raises interesting questions about cash, convenience and fairness. If you pay by cash at McDonald’s, you may pay as little as two cents less—or as much as one to four cents more—than the listed total. For card users, nothing changes. And given that cash usage is already declining, this shift might pass unnoticed for many. Yet for people paying in cash, especially frequent-small-amount customers, it’s something to keep an eye on.

  • Ben & Jerry’s co-founder launches ‘Peace for Palestine’ ice cream after Unilever blocks flavour

    [media-credit name=”Bloomberg” width=860 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen has revealed that the decision by parent company Unilever to block the launch of a new flavour intended to show solidarity with Palestine has deepened a long-standing fault line between activism and corporate control.

    According to Cohen, he will proceed independently with the flavour via his personal venture, Ben’s Best, citing Unilever’s refusal to permit the original brand’s engagement in certain “social mission” initiatives.

    The proposed flavour is a watermelon-flavoured sorbet, its colour palette—red, green, black, and white—intentionally echoing the Palestinian flag, Cohen explains in a video posted on Instagram.

    He stated: “I’m making a watermelon-flavoured ice cream that calls for permanent peace in Palestine and for repairing the damage that was done there.”

    This development occurs against the backdrop of a fraught history: Ben & Jerry’s pulled out of sales in Israeli-occupied territories in 2021, sparking legal and commercial entanglements which led Unilever to divest the brand’s Israeli operations to a local licensee. Cohen claims that Unilever and the soon-to-be-split ice cream division Magnum have unlawfully prevented Ben & Jerry’s from fulfilling its founding values.

    In his view, the activation of the watermelon sorbet through Ben’s Best is a way to reset the mission that was sidelined. Whilst the original brand remains under Unilever’s corporate umbrella, Cohen’s independent path signals an intensifying dispute over how far an activist-oriented brand can tread within the constraints of a multinational parent.

    Whether the new flavour will gain widespread distribution—or how Unilever or the broader market will respond—remains uncertain. What is clear: the moment highlights how ice cream, branding, and global politics are now deeply intertwined.

  • Offset’s tax debt soars amid Cardi B divorce drama, allegedly

    [media-credit name=”Instagram” link=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DPmEzvkAIgY/?img_index=1″ width=1440 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    Rapper Offset is facing a mounting tax problem just as his divorce from Cardi B plays out. Reports say his unpaid tax debt has grown into the seven-figure range, putting fresh pressure on already tense personal and financial dynamics.

    According to the coverage, the IRS and state filers have imposed multiple liens on Offset’s property—one federal lien reportedly at about $1.5 million for tax liabilities tied to recent years, with additional amounts from state authorities. The exact total remains somewhat unclear publicly, but insiders say it’s “close to $2 million”.

    What makes this more than a mere tax story: All this unfolds whilst Cardi B and Offset’s divorce negotiations are stalled. Cardi has publicly claimed one of the sticking points is Offset’s financial demands, including that she cover his tax bills and property transfers in order to finalise the split.

    For fans, analysts and anyone watching celebrity finances, several themes emerge:

  • The tax liens raise questions about Offset’s financial planning, obligations and potential exposure beyond just the musical brand.
  • The divorce context adds a layer of complexity: financial liabilities aren’t just personal—they can influence asset division, custody, and public image.
  • Cardi B’s willingness to highlight the tax issue suggests she sees it as more than incidental—she frames it as part of the leverage around their separation.

    • Whilst neither party has provided full transparent accounting, the debt alone is large enough to affect settlement talks, future earnings and how both artists navigate their independent paths. In the coming months, watch for how the liens get resolved, whether Offset pays down or structures the debt, and how that resolution affects his and Cardi’s public and professional narratives.

  • More than 183 million Gmail-linked passwords exposed

    [media-credit name=”The Sun” link=”https://www.the-sun.com/tech/15402094/183million-gmail-passwords-stolen-in-massive-data-breach” width=2048 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    Security researchers have warned that approximately 183 million email login credentials, including a significant number tied to Gmail accounts, were exposed in a massive credential-dump.

    The leak appears to have resulted not from a direct breach of Gmail or Google LLC’s systems, but rather from malware-infected devices. These devices collected usernames and passwords via “infostealer” logs, which in turn ended up in a large dataset now publicly accessible. This dataset is part of a trove reportedly about 3.5 terabytes in size and drawn from multiple sources rather than one single hack.

    For Gmail users (and users of other email providers) the risk is real. Whilst Google says it is not aware of a breach of its own login systems, it emphasises that passwords appearing in external dumps still pose a threat because of reused passwords, credential-stuffing attacks and phishing schemes.

    What you can do:

  • Use the site Have ‘I Been Pwned’ to check whether your email address or password shows up in known leaks.
  • Change your password to a strong, unique one (for example, not used for other sites) if there’s any suspicion of exposure.
  • Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) or passkeys where available.
  • Review account access logs for unfamiliar devices or apps.

    • The incident underscores a broader shift in cyber-risk: The point of compromise is increasingly the user’s device or environment rather than a central corporate database. And so the protection partly depends on users staying proactive. While there’s no indication this leak was caused by a Gmail-specific vulnerability, Gmail users should still treat their account credentials—and the recovery methods tied to them—as potential targets.

  • Apple says United States passport digital IDs are coming to Wallet ‘soon’

    [media-credit name=”Jakub Porzycki/Nurphoto/Getty Images” link=”https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/27/apple-says-u-s-passport-digital-ids-are-coming-to-wallet-soon” width=2048 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    Apple is gearing up to let United States users add their passports to Apple Wallet as a digital ID credential, according to a recent report. The feature was announced by Apple Inc. during the rollout cycle of iOS 26 and reflects the company’s push to transform the Wallet app into more than just payments and boarding passes.

    Under the new system, users will “create and add a Digital ID to Apple Wallet using a US passport”, Apple says—though the company emphasises that this digital credential is not a replacement for the physical passport, especially for international travel. More precisely: The digital ID is intended for identity checks at select domestic locations—such as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints—rather than border crossings.

    Why does this matter?

  • It signals a shift in how official identity documents may be carried and validated: Your phone (and probably your watch) moves closer to replacing one of the bulkiest items in your bag.
  • For travellers (especially domestic ones), the possibility of ditching the physical passport at TSA is appealing.
  • On the other hand, questions remain regarding security, privacy, and fallback scenarios (such as a dead battery or a lost phone). Some users and developers voiced caution—even on sites like Hacker News.

    • When will it land? Apple hasn’t given a firm date beyond “soon”. The feature didn’t debut with iOS 26’s initial release, but it was confirmed to be coming in a future update.

    If you’re managing travel plans, digital identity, or privacy policy for clients (or yourself), this is a development worth keeping an eye on.

  • Kourtney Kardashian-Barker introduces lollipops aimed at vaginal wellness: Lemme

    Kourtney Kardashian-Barker has expanded her wellness product line with a candy marketed as a product to support the vagina.

    [media-credit name=”Lemme” width=800 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    In a move sure to spark conversation, Kourtney Kardashian-Barker’s wellness brand, Lemme, has released a new offering: “Lemme Purr Probiotic Lollipops”, billed as a product designed to support vaginal health.

    The lollipops reportedly combine probiotics, Vitamin C and pineapple extract in a sweet treat form, and are being marketed as a fun, simple way to include feminine-care into daily routines. Exclusively available at Target, they come in five-packs and are positioned as vegetarian, non-GMO confection-supplements targeting the vaginal microbiome.

    From the brand’s press release, Kardashian-Barker said: “Lemme Purr Lollipops are such a fun extension of one of our best-sellers… I love that they turn daily self-care into something sweet and simple.”

    Here’s what to note:

  • What it claims: The product purports to support vaginal wellness, potentially helping with freshness and microbial balance.
  • What’s new: Whilst Lemme already had probiotic gummies for intimate/vaginal health, this is the first time the brand has released the lollipop format targeting that specific goal.
  • The push-back potential: As with any supplement or wellness product aimed at intimate health, there are questions about how well a lollipop format can deliver the promised benefits, and whether the messaging simplifies the underlying health issues.
  • Marketplace context: This comes at a time when celebrity-backed wellness products are under increased scrutiny, both for marketing claims and scientific backing.

    • For writers, marketers, or wellness observers, this is a textbook intersection of celebrity branding, wellness culture and provocative product design. It raises the question: When is a candy just candy, and when is it pitched as medicine?

  • Donald Trump’s new TIME Magazine cover sparks debate over imagery and message

    [media-credit name=”TMZ” link=”https://www.tmz.com/2025/10/26/donald-trump-new-time-magazine-cover/” width=728 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    TIME Magazine has released a fresh cover for its November 10, 2025, issue featuring President Donald Trump. The new edition highlights his role in facilitating a cease-fire and prisoner exchange between Gaza and Israel, portraying it as a “signature achievement” of his second term.

    On the cover, Trump is shown seated in the Oval Office, hands clasped under his chin and gazing forward beneath the headline ‘Trump’s World’.

    The style and posture evoke a power pose—but not everyone is reading it that way. One media analysis suggests the image nods to a 1963 portrait of a convicted Nazi war criminal, suggesting layered symbolism beneath the slick presentation.

    Interestingly, the launch of the new cover follows Trump’s earlier public outcry over an initial version of the cover image. He took to his platform to complain that the photo “disappeared” his hair and placed “something floating on top” of his head resembling a tiny crown. He labelled the image “the worst photo of all time.”

    Meanwhile, TIME’s article accompanying the cover explores the dynamics of Trump’s diplomacy, his global influence, and how this agreement could reshape Middle East relations.

    Whilst supporters see the cover as deserved recognition of Trump’s deal-making, critics ask whether the imagery itself dilutes the message. Whether intentional or accidental, the photographic choices have sparked debate about media portrayal of political leaders, the power of imagery in shaping reputations, and how even at the highest levels, presentation matters as much as content.

  • T-Mobile closes autopay loophole, sparking customer outrage over lost discounts

    [media-credit name=”WIRED” link=”https://www.wired.com/story/tmobile-data-breach-again” width=2394 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    T-Mobile is facing customer backlash after announcing it will end a loophole that allowed users to claim its $5 autopay discount by paying via credit card under certain conditions.

    Historically, T-Mobile offered a $5 per line monthly discount to subscribers who set up autopay. After officially removing credit cards as an eligible payment method for the discount in 2023, some users found a workaround: They would update their payment method to a bank-account-based autopay (which qualified), then pay early with a credit card, thus retaining the discount. T-Mobile says the loophole is now closed. As of October 24, customers who pay early using a credit card will forfeit the discount for that billing cycle.

    The carrier cites mounting credit-card processing fees as a key reason behind the change. According to data referenced by T-Mobile, swipe fees for Visa and Mastercard credit cards rose from $100 billion in 2023 to $111.2 billion in 2024, a year-over-year jump of more than 10%.

    Reactions from users have been swift and sharp. On Reddit and other forums, long-time subscribers said they feel the move undermines their trust in T-Mobile’s pricing promises.

    “Well, there goes the free phone insurance that comes with my Amex Platinum, which will now cost me $35/month”, wrote one customer.

    Another worried: “So my bill is going up $40 a month? For…. the privilege of paying them? Lmao, what a bad joke.”

    This change comes amid a broader wave of adjustments by T-Mobile—including price hikes on legacy plans and fee increases—occurring as the company transitions leadership with CEO Mike Sievert slated to step down on November 1 in favour of Srini Gopalan.

    For customers, the lesson is clear: What once seemed like a reliable discount may no longer be. For the carrier, it’s a recalibration of incentives amid tightening margins and rising costs. Whether the goodwill cost is worth the savings remains to be seen.
