Delivery drones are intended to zip your packages to you by air, but that convenience has one unintended consequence: noise pollution. Amazon is testing its Prime Air delivery drones in College Station, Texas, where the cacophony of overhead drones is annoying the people who live there, CNBC reports. “They sound like a hundred swarms of bees,” one College Station resident said in an interview with NBC. The noise gets louder on a nearby launchpad, where all the delivery drones converge.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
