Delta Rolls Out Basic Business: A Cheaper, Unbundled Premium Seat

Delta expands its unbundled premium strategy by introducing Basic Business across its premium cabins, offering the full Delta One experience at a lower price but with major perks removed—miles, one checked bag, seat pre-selection, free changes, upgrades, and lounge access. Basic Business is about 7% cheaper than standard premium and roughly 21% cheaper than Delta One; Basic First is already available on some routes, while Basic Premium Select and Basic Business bookings roll out on domestic and select long-haul flights starting in September, with enhanced check-in and lounge access retained through Jan 18, 2027. Industry analysts caution this as nickel‑and‑diming, though it could benefit cost-conscious travelers and some corporate customers.

Lilo & Stitch star Daveigh Chase dies at 35 from AIDS; father reacts

Daveigh Chase, the former child actress known for voicing Lilo in Lilo & Stitch and for Spirited Away, died in a Los Angeles hospital on June 16 at 35, with AIDS listed as the cause and chronic polysubstance use noted as another condition. Her father, John Schwallier, told The Post he wasn’t surprised by the AIDS diagnosis, attributing it to years of addiction and homelessness on LA’s Skid Row, and he said he might pursue custody of her cremated remains. Chase had largely stepped away from acting after 2016, with friends and her longtime manager attempting to help her, while her mother Cathy received her remains.

Microsoft extends Windows 10 ESU to 2027 as millions still run the aging OS

Microsoft has extended Windows 10's Extended Security Updates (ESU) by another year, pushing the end date to October 12, 2027, with ESU licenses available through 2028 for up to 10 personal-use devices. EU users get updates for free; others must enroll via Windows Update, paying $30 (or 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points). Despite Windows 11’s rise, about 26% of PCs still run Windows 10, underscoring why Microsoft kept patches coming.

Two Space Stocks to Watch as Space Economy Expands Before SpaceX IPO

With SpaceX’s IPO anticipated on June 12 and PwC forecasting a $2 trillion space economy by 2040, AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) and Intuitive Machines (LUNR) stand out. ASTS aims to provide direct-to-cellular broadband from large LEO satellites and has deals with AT&T, Verizon, and Vodafone, planning 45–60 satellites this year despite a setback from Blue Origin’s New Glenn. LUNR is a vertically integrated space contractor winning major government contracts (SDA and NASA CLPS), lifting Q1 revenue to $186.7 million and carrying a backlog over $1.1 billion, signaling strong near-term revenue potential.

Patience and Brunson propel Knicks to their first NBA Finals since 1999

Years of patient building and shrewd trades—protecting draft assets, landing Jalen Brunson, and then surrounding him with key pieces via moves for OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Karl‑Anthony Towns—have turned the Knicks from a struggling franchise into an NBA Finals contender, as they swept the Cavaliers to reach the championship series for the first time since 1999.

Tiny Knysna footprints rewrite Southern Africa's dinosaur timeline

Scientists have uncovered dozens of 132-million-year-old dinosaur tracks in a small Brenton Formation outcrop near Knysna, South Africa, making them the youngest known footprints in southern Africa and evidence that dinosaurs persisted in the region after earlier lava flows; the tiny site suggests diverse trackmakers (theropods, possibly ornithopods, and maybe sauropods) and hints that more Cretaceous traces await discovery along the Western Cape coast.

Campaign Funds Go to Personal Security as Political Violence Rises

More than 15 states have enacted or amended laws to let lawmakers use campaign funds for personal security, with recent changes in Utah, South Dakota, Alabama, Nebraska and Oregon and others expanding policies to cover security systems, private guards, and related services; funding typically comes from campaign accounts or private donations, addressing rising threats to lawmakers and amid a broader push supported by groups like the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Titaníque: Broadway's Campy Céline Dion Spectacle Sets Sail

A wildly campy Broadway spoof of Titanic framed as a Céline Dion jukebox musical, Titaníque sails from a basement origin to a full-scale stage with Marla Mindelle delivering diva-parody gold. Rich in meta humor, pop-culture riffs, and show-tune bravado, the second half shines as it leans into Dion’s catalog; some jokes miss the mark and the scale can feel overblown, but the production unabashedly celebrates big singing and campy joy.

Five-Minute Chair Test: A Quick Gauge of Fitness at 55

Five-Minute Chair Test: A Quick Gauge of Fitness at 55

A five-minute, hands-free sit-to-stand test from a chair can reveal functional fitness after age 55 by simultaneously challenging legs, core stability, and heart–lung endurance. If you maintain a steady pace with proper posture for the full five minutes, you’re considered above average for your age. Research links sit-to-stand performance to mobility, fall risk, and even mortality, making this a practical real‑world gauge of fitness. The article provides step-by-step guidance: sit tall, cross arms, brace the core, rise through the heels with a fully extended hip, lower with controlled descent, and breathe steadily to sustain a sustainable tempo without knee strain.

Lockheed's Lamprey: A hitchhiking autonomous undersea drone for covert naval ops

Lockheed Martin unveiled Lamprey, a modular autonomous undersea vehicle that can hitch a ride on ships or submarines, recharge during missions, and launch drones, torpedoes, and decoys while carrying its own sensors. It can lie in wait on the seabed or operate near the surface, enabling covert surveillance, distributed sensing, and potential sea-denial capabilities. Questions remain about endurance, range, cost, and current development stage as the concept signals a broader move toward autonomous, distributed undersea warfare.

Colorado Funeral Home Director Gets 40-Year Term in Corpse-Handling Scandal

The owner of Return to Nature Funeral Home in Colorado Springs was sentenced to 40 years in state prison for abuse of a corpse, money laundering, theft and forgery in a case tied to nearly 200 decomposing bodies stored improperly and the delivery of fake ashes; his wife pleaded guilty in federal/state cases and faces decades. The 40-year sentence runs concurrently with his existing 20-year federal term as families described lasting trauma, while authorities noted hazardous conditions at the site during cleanup and the rise of green-burial practices in Colorado.
