According to the carmaker, the minimalist approach works better for digital purposes, and it is inspired by the logo the company used in its early 1960s offerings.

The logo is for Honda's new range of electric vehicles, which will be branded the 0 Series. These electric vehicles will not make use of any used parts from petrol vehicles. The logo will begin to be incorporated into the front of Honda's new series of electric SUVs and sedans starting from 2026.

The trailer shows Sydney Sweeney, who plays Cassie, in a puppy costume, a corset, a thong, and dog ears. She shakes her rear end and poses for pictures on a bed. It's an interesting twist to a show that already focuses on young adults' vulnerabilities. Season 3 begins five years after the original high school setting.

Reaction to the provocative scenes is mixed, as some fans appreciate the daring nature while others feel the show is falling into a pattern of nudity. The showrunner commented that Cassie would become an OnlyFans model. Euphoria returns on April 12, and the trailer is making the rounds, now memed and commented upon at rapid speed.

Sailor Sentenced for Selling Secrets

Key Points

• 16 years of prison time.

• Sold U.S. Navy manuals.

• Mother encouraged actions.

What Happened?

Jinchao Wei, a former United States Navy sailor, was sentenced to over 16 years in prison for selling secrets to a Chinese officer. He was part of the USS Essex ship based in San Diego, California, selling manuals for ships with weapons and propulsion to China for $12,000 over 18 months. In 2025, a jury found him guilty of espionage.

Jinchao Wei came to America from China in 2016 and joined the Navy in 2021. His mother suggested that he continue selling information to help him get a job later in China. He told a friend it might be espionage but did it anyway. This is important because it shows how risky espionage can be in the military, and it's not worth it. Wei also wrote to the judge explaining how he made mistakes.
