💧Thirsty? Just head to…a billboard!
This Ramadan, @Deliveroo & Humantra launched the UAE’s first drinkable billboard at City Walk. A hidden tap serves apricot-flavored electrolytes, inspired by Qamar alDin—perfect for breaking fast.
Now that’s refreshing. Who’s stopping by?🥤
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia taps legendary composer Hans Zimmer to reimagine its national anthem. Known for The Lion King & Interstellar, Zimmer will blend Saudi heritage with his iconic orchestral style.
A fresh take on tradition is coming soon. 🎶
🚨 TikTok got banned. Everyone lost their minds.
Oh wait, nevermind-
The app is back, but its future is still caught in debates over national security and data privacy.
Stunt? Permanent ban? Or will some crazy billionaire buy it? Crazy world we live in.

Another piece of childhood nostalgia has logged out. 📴
After 26 years, CartoonNetwork.com has shut down, redirecting to Max. The shows live on via the app, YouTube, and Max. The channel still airs daily too.
End of an era, but not the cartoons. 🕹️
Siri-ously?
Apple settles for $95M after allegations Siri recorded users without consent, leading to targeted ads. U.S. users (2014–2024) may qualify for compensation.
Privacy respected? More like paid off.
