Every now and then, you run into a tool that truly wows you.

It’s rare—especially nowadays, when everyone and their cousin is coming out with overhyped AI-centric codswallop that’s almost always more impressive on paper than in practice.

And that, if you ask me, makes it all the more satisfying when you track down a tool that really, truly impresses.

My friend, today is one of those days. Prepare to have your mind blown.

Elon Musk’s Trump gamble is costing him bigly

Tesla released its quarterly earnings report on Tuesday, its first since the company’s chief executive, Elon Musk, took up residence in the Trump White House and immediately began trying to fire federal workers, gut regulators, and illegally withhold funding from recipients who are entitled to it. The numbers are, to use a technical term, grim: Tesla’s net income for the first three months of the year was

Say goodbye to cheap versions of Ozempic and Wegovy

There’s never a dull day in the world of weight-loss medication. This week brought new restrictions on compounded GLP-1 medication, the cheaper, copycat versions of brand-name drugs that telehealth companies like Hims & Hers and Noom had been offering. Other developments include news that GLP-1 pills are on the way, and that a bankruptcy filing by weight-loss giant WeightWatchers is imminent. Let’s dive in.

Why Apple needs Tim Cook more than ever in the age of Trump

In December 2023, I wrote an article exploring Apple CEO Tim Cook’s most likely successors, because there will come a day when he steps aside as chief executive at the iPhone maker. I wrote the piece in response to rare comments Cook had made—to Dua Lipa, no less—revealing that Apple has “very detailed succession plans” in preparation for his departure.

Cook tried to alleviate investor fe

Families demand action from Meta over children’s deaths linked to platform harm

“Meta profits, kids pay the price,” was the message delivered by dozens of grieving families at the doors of Meta’s Manhattan office on Thursday.

Forty-five families traveled from across the U.S. and as far as the United Kingdom to hold a vigil outside the East Village headquarters of Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. Holding photos of their children, they spoke about lives lost to cyberbullying, sextortion scams, and suicide-glorifying content—calling on Me

Google’s profits skyrocketed 50% in Q1, beating expectations

Google’s secret AI strategy came out in court. Why the media should worry

One of the central arguments in the ongoing antitrust trial against Google revolves around its deals to secure default search engine status on various devices, such as the iPhone. Most consumers simply want their devices to work out of the box and rarely adjust default settings.

This week, it was revealed that despite the looming threat of a potential break

Elon Musk is leaving government. But what does he leave behind at DOGE?

It has taken a little over five months and has been anticipated for several weeks, but it now appears increasingly likely that the bromance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is nearing its end. Musk is reportedly planning to step d

Here’s how top chief product officers are getting AI right

The AI revolution is redefining business and tech leadership—and no one is standing more squarely on the front lines than product leaders.

Once seen as a behind-the-scenes role, the CPO is now one of the most powerful voices in the executive suite. In 2020, only 4% of the Fortune 1000 had a CPO, a number that has since ballooned to almost 50%. In the next few years, we expect to see that figure grow to 70%.

Roblox faces backlash after a report uncovers games simulating real-life school shootings

A new report has uncovered a community of Roblox players who digitally re-create and “play” through real-life school shootings.

Apple plans to dodge tariff impact on iPhones with this major change, source says

Apple aims to make most of its iPhones sold in the United States at factories in India by the end of 2026, and is speeding up those plans to navigate potentially higher tariffs in China, its main manufacturing base, a source told Reuters.

Gen Alpha may need a financial reality check

Let’s be clear: We shouldn’t expect kids to be experts in financial literacy. As much as they love YouTube, I doubt many spend their time watching videos of Warren Buffett.

However, the oldest members of this Gen Alpha group will become adult consumers soon enough, and between the way they approach money and their perception of spending, two things are qui

The ultimate guide to cheap (or free) streaming, news, and media subscriptions

Remember when Netflix cost $9 per month and The New York Times website was free? Well, the days of online media feeling like a bargain are long gone. Today, it’s become a costly convenience.

But there are still great deals to be had, thanks to cheap yearlong introductory subscriptions, budget bundles, and libraries. One thing to skip: those one-month free trials that are easy to sign up for but even easier to forget to cancel.

Patreon’s rivalry with Substack is growing. Who will win over creators?

Substack and Patreon are vying to become creators’ primary revenue stream.

For most influencers, payouts from platforms like Meta or Google aren’t enough to build a sustainable career. Rather than spending their days hawking products, many creators are turning to direct fan support, and two companies dominate that space: Patreon and Substack.
