Here are the new number of Starbucks reward points (stars) required for each Starbucks reward level. Starbucks, the Grinch that Stole Valentine’s Day, has just announced that it is raising the number of reward points that you need in the Starbucks app in order to be able to redeem your reward stars, effective February 13th, 2023. They are raising it for absolutely everything except the 25-star reward of customizing your drink.

This week Twitter removed it’s option to “Favorite” a Tweet with a star symbol, replacing it with a heart symbol to indicate a “Like” (shades of Facebook!), and not everybody hearts it.

By now everyone has heard about the weekend verdict in the Steubenville Rape case: Two teen Steubenville High Big Red football stars, Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond, charged with the rape of the 16-year-old girl known as “Jane Doe”, and the posting of related images on social media, were found guilty of the charges. What many don’t know, however, is that KnightSec, a branch of the hacking group Anonymous, outraged by what they saw as a cover-up, played a role in bringing the online materials to the attention of prosecutors and the court. And that the Ohio Attorney General is calling for a grand jury to force the sixteen other teen witnesses to divulge what they know about who else was involved.
