A daunting stream of testimony and documentation has been presented in a New Mexico case that explores what Meta knew about the effects of its platforms on children. State prosecutors allege Meta knew about the risks its platforms — Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp — pose to children but failed to warn users. Meta says it's been forthright about risks while continuously striving to improve safeguards. The trial is approaching its seventh week. Jurors aren't deliberating yet. But if they find that Meta violated state consumer protection laws, prosecutors say sanctions could be in the billions of dollars. Meta, however, says it would ask for a different calculation than prosecutors have proposed.

Americans still dig French bulldogs, retrievers and German shepherds. But dachshunds are increasingly hot dogs. For the first time in over two decades, the sausage-shaped hounds were among the top five most prevalent dog breeds in American Kennel Club rankings released Wednesday. The list covers 202 breeds. The standings are based on puppies and older purebreds that were added last year to the AKC’s registry. The rankings aren't a complete picture of the U.S. canine population. They don't include mixed-breed dogs and trendy hybrids such as goldendoodles. The annual list regularly sparks criticism from dog breeding opponents such as the animal rights group PETA.

Two Massachusetts brothers have built a fleet of miniature Irish pubs on wheels. They tow the miniature bars to backyards, weddings and neighborhood parties across New England. The business began during the pandemic when brothers from Reading started building an authentic-looking pub in a driveway. Now the Wee Irish Pubs travel from March through December, serving as the centerpiece of St. Patrick’s celebrations, bachelor parties and family gatherings. Inside, church pews, antique decorations and a bar made from an 1864 piano recreate the feel of a traditional Irish pub. For many hosts, the miniature bars offer a place for neighbors, friends and family to gather and celebrate together.

Spring gets its official start Friday in the Northern Hemisphere with the arrival of the vernal equinox. But what does that mean? The Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle as it travels around the sun. On the equinox, the Earth’s tilt is neither toward nor away from the sun, so both hemispheres get the same amount of sunlight. This means day and night last about the same amount of time. It also marks the start of a new season. Days will get a little longer every day in the Northern Hemisphere until the solstice in June.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have accused the author of a new book on Britain's royal family of pushing conspiracy instead of facts. On Saturday, the couple issued a sharp statement saying author Tom Bower “crossed the line from criticism to fixation.” The Times of London published extracts from his book on Friday. The extracts alleged that Queen Camilla once claimed Meghan “brainwashed” Harry, and that Prince William and Catherine saw Meghan as a threat. Harry and Meghan point to past comments from Bower about “obliterating” them. The book also included passages critical of the couple's charity work and the Invictus Games.

Airline ticket prices are starting to climb as carriers respond to rising jet fuel costs tied to the war in Iran. Cathay Pacific, Air France-KLM and a handful of other carriers already have raised their fares or added fuel surcharges. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has warned that higher ticket prices will “probably start quickly.” Experts say it’s not a question of if airfares rise, but when and by how much — especially on long-haul international routes. The security director of a global risk management company advises travelers to book early, set fare alerts and use frequent flyer miles or credit card points instead of holding out for a perfect deal.
