Say goodbye to your landline phone. In 2024, AT&T announced its plan to eliminate its traditional landline phone service across nearly all U.S. states, including Florida, in its service area by 2029. Customers will be transitioned to newer services such as cellular networks or fiber options. AT&T officials said that customers will not lose voice or 911 service.
An AT&T spokesperson said in a July 7 email that the change was necessary because aging copper-based technology was unreliable and expensive to repair, and not many people were still using it. "In Florida, we have seen a 91% decline of customers using copper-based landlines in the past 10 years," the spokesperson said.
In most states, AT&T can simply move forward. But in California - of course - the telecommunications company has been battling state law and the California Public Utilities Commission. On June 29, the Federal Communications Commission approved a petition by AT&T to end the service, although there are still procedural hurdles and a federal court case in the way.

It honors Caribbean heritage, emancipation from slavery, and U.S. Independence Day. The festivities feature traditional food, steel pan music, pageants, and high-energy street parties.

Californians will have to pay for two new taxes next year after Gov. Gavin Newsom approved the state budget in June in what the California Taxpayers Association described as “the largest tax increase in state history.”
Newsom and Democratic lawmakers agreed on proposals that would raise health insurance premiums and slap a new charge on software downloads in an effort to make up federal revenue loss from an antagonistic Trump administration, Democrats said.

A slithering, slimey, snakes-on-the-run nightmare has been unleashed on a Chinese village after nearly 900 snakes escaped a flooded breeding farm. Don't even bother to ask why they'd have a breeding farm - snakes are farmed in China primarily to supply lucrative domestic and global markets for traditional medicine, high-end culinary meat, luxury leather skin, and pharmaceutical venom extraction.
According to local officials, the snakes became loose on July 6 after the Liulan Reservoir collapsed amid extreme weather linked to Typhoon Maysak. Extreme weather brought by a devastating typhoon caused the farm to collapse – giving the runaway reptiles an opportunity for escape in Dengwei village.
