Amazon has recently announced it would pause Prime Day here and India as the countries face the worsening spread of COVID-19. The two-day discount event doesn't have a rescheduled day yet for either country. 

Last month, Canada's COVID-19 infection rates overtook the US for the first time since the pandemic began. The country has also been facing lagging vaccination rates. India is experiencing an even more devastating rise, with the country accounting for 46% of new COVID cases worldwide in the past week.

Outside of the two nations, Amazon will bring Prime Day back. But instead of it taking place in July, Amazon will hold it in June.

Twitter no longer crops images

Twitter has gotten rid of its algorithm crops on pictures. So, if you upload a photo on iOS or Android, you'll see the image in its entirety. Those who take a lot of vertical pictures are very happy with this change, as CNET reported. Before this, the service's algorithm would determine the most sensible part of the picture to crop and just show a preview on the feed. And while it does take out the surprise element of previewed images, this change helps visual artists and photographers on the platform showcase their work in the way they're meant to be seen.

'Loki' Marvel series on Disney+ to come out two days earlier on June 9

In true chaotic Loki fashion, the new Marvel show will be coming out two days earlier than what was announced. Instead of June 11, Loki will be dropping on Disney+ on Wednesdays. As the god of mischief, it feels very on-brand for Marvel to release its newest Disney+ show on a different date than its predecessors, WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. You can watch Tom Hiddleston break the news in a Mean Girls-like way in the video above.
