Verizon's recent Motorola Razr 2025 launch brings back nostalgia with questionable collaboration
Verizon is the last major carrier in the US that adds the Motorola Razr 2025 to its offering. For reasons unknown, the Big Red was unable to keep its initial promise to release Motorola's mid-range foldable on May 15 just like the competition, but it used the extra time to organize rather emotional launch for the Razr learning about DeLorean's resurrection, Verizon 's marketing team decided that it would be a good idea to use the iconic vehicle as a prop in the carrier's Motorola Razr 2025 announcement. The video that was released recently quickly become viral with the tech media, so we've added it below for your viewing pleasure. The DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) was an American automobile manufacturer that only produced a single model for about two years: 1981 and 1982. What made the company famous was its car being featured in the iconic Back to the Future film trilogy. Turned into a time machine by eccentric scientist Doc Brown portrayed by actor Christopher Lloyd, the DeLorean car became as famous as the movies. Unfortunately, American automobile manufacturer closed before the first film was made, so it didn't get to reap the benefits of free publicity. Fast forward 40 years and it looks like DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) has been resurrected, but not to build another vehicle. The company recently teamed up with actor Sir Patrick Stewart to launch its ' on-chain vehicle reservation system & marketplace .' I think everyone remembers that all the companies led by 'tech bros' tried to force people into buying their NTFs just a few years ago. The large majority of them proved to be scams meant to make the rich even richer. – via Wikipedia, May 2025 This is exactly what the DeLorean Marketplace (built on the Sui network) plans to do. The company announced its first vehicle in over 40 years, and fans of the iconic time travel vehicle will soon be able to buy and sell their build slot for DeLorean's Alpha 5 EV model on this digital marketplace. Personally, I think this is bad. In any case, if you're looking into the new Motorola Razr 2025, Verizon has it available now and customers can even get it for free (after credit of $16.66/month for 36 months). Or you can choose a one-time payment of $600, and the Motorola Razr 2025 will be yours. Switch to Total 5G+ Unlimited 3-Month plan or Total 5G Unlimited and get a free iPhone.

Eamonn Holmes vows to ‘redouble' his efforts to walk again
Eamonn Holmes has vowed to 'redouble' his efforts to walk again. The 65-year-old has suffered a series of falls, surgeries and health setbacks that have left him reliant on canes and a wheelchair, and has now shared a poignant update with fans on social media, alongside a photograph of himself from 2022, standing tall in a suit beside a DeLorean sports car. He captioned it: 'Great picture popped up from 3 years but it's made me sad – I could walk. 'Got to redouble my efforts.' The TV presenter, who rose to fame as a host on ITV's 'This Morning' and now fronts GB News Breakfast, has been grappling with a string of health issues over recent years. He suffered a fall live on air earlier this year, which came just two weeks after he had been hospitalised following a similar incident. Both falls aggravated existing injuries from a spinal operation in 2022, as well as previous accidents at his Surrey home. The most recent fall occurred during his GB News segment, when a chair reportedly gave way beneath him. Speaking at the end of the programme, Eamonn told viewers: 'The chair gave way and I was lying flat on my back with my head hanging off the set. 'The first hour or so I was OK because the adrenaline kicked in, but then as the morning went on I felt the aches and pains. The worst thing is that two weeks ago I was hospitalised for a similar fall in the same area – back of my neck, head and shoulders – and that's all come back.' He added: 'We're going to have to replace the chairs because I'm not the only one to have fallen.' Fans have since rallied around Eamonn, sending words of encouragement in response to his post on X. One wrote: 'Keep pushing forward, Eamonn. Perseverance always pays off.' Another commented: 'Wolf whistle – still got it, Eamonn.' The veteran broadcaster, who had a double hip replacement in 2016, has continued to suffer from chronic pain since a follow-up spinal procedure in September 2022. In 2021, he was rushed to hospital after what was described as 'pain he's never felt in his life'. Further complications came in 2023 when he fractured his shoulder during a fall at home. Away from the studio, Eamonn is also dealing with personal upheaval is currently going through a divorce from Ruth Langsford, 65, with whom he previously shared a £3.6million home in Surrey. He was seen using a mobility scooter in public in late 2023 and appeared at the TRIC Awards using a walking frame, later telling reporters he was 'not OK'. Despite his physical challenges, Eamonn has continued to appear on screen, earning praise from colleagues who have described him as a 'trooper' for carrying on amid his health fight.

Buttigieg reveals how he'd advise Democrats on key issues if he could time travel back to 2020
Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg offered multiple ways he would change the Democratic Party platform if he could time travel back to 2020. In the wake of the party's decisive defeat in 2024, several prominent Democrats have spoken about how they need to change on America's most pressing issues. Advertisement Many Democrats have argued that the party needs to moderate not only its tone, but its policies. Buttigieg, who has spoken out before on how the party needs to stop alienating voters, is no exception. Tim Miller, a political strategist for The Bulwark, released a new episode of the outlet's podcast on Tuesday where he interviewed Buttigieg. Miller referenced the time-traveling DeLorean from 'Back to the Future,' and asked Buttigieg what advice he would give his past self and then-nominee Joe Biden to prevent the state of the U.S. today. 'What do you think y'all should have done differently?' Miller asked. Advertisement 'One, for the love of God, figure out a way to get the schools open sooner,' Buttigieg said. 'We got very knee-jerk about this and the costs were — not just politically — but in a profound way I think, for a generation, the costs were profound, and I think anybody who's involved, who was, by the way obviously doing their best to deal with a crisis that killed a million Americans, but I think most people involved would like to be able to have found a way to safely get more schools open more quickly.' Pete Buttigieg hosts a VotVets town hall in Cedar Rapids focused on challenges veterans face under the Trump Administration. Holden Smith/ZUMA / The former transportation secretary followed up with another key issue that has grown prominent in recent years. 'Obviously, pay more attention to the border,' he said, noting another piece of advice for 2020 Democrats. 'That's real, and that's going to be something that you can't just, like, take your time to deal with. These are all things, by the way, that's super, you know, policy-wise and politically, we have the benefit of hindsight to reflect upon this.' Advertisement Democratic U.S. presidential nominee Joe Biden speaks during a campaign stop at Jose Marti Gym in Miami, Florida, U.S., October 5, 2020. REUTERS The third piece of advice he offered, particularly to himself, was about the nature of how the economy is perceived. 'Three, even though you spent your entire political lifetime believing that 'the economy and jobs are the same thing, and if you have lots of jobs, it's a good economy, and if you have a problem with jobs, it's a bad economy.' Remember that prices is just as big a part of the economy, it just hasn't come up much in the last 40 years,' he said. Buttigieg argued that no country was able to save its economy from the pandemic without taking on some inflation, 'but I do think there were a lot of moments where people kind of waved it away in the first year or two, even just like the conversation about it.'
