The countdown is on: Taxpayers have a little over two weeks to file their 2025 tax returns and pay any taxes due by Wednesday, April 15, 2026. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) expects to receive about 164 million individual income tax returns this year, with most taxpayers filing electronically. But this is no ordinary tax year: The 2026 tax season comes with a number of additional deductions thanks to President Donald Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill.” Those include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on car loan interest, and enhanced deduction for seniors. To claim these,…
There’s trouble in AI-generated paradise. TikTok’s most popular AI-generated series “Fruit Love Island” has millions of followers, but that may not be enough to save it from video takedowns and shifting online attitudes toward AI. “Fruit Love Island” is exactly what the title implies: a one-to-one recreation of the popular dating show Love Island, rendered with AI and featuring humanoid fruit as contestants. When hot new bombshells enter this villa, they’re anthropomorphic cherries, bananas, pineapples, and more. “Welcome to Fruit Love Island, where eight single fruits are about to flirt, fight, and trust—things get messy fast,” begins the first episode. …
Furniture is one of the biggest hurdles during a move, because good dressers and couches are bulky and expensive. During a stressful time, it makes sense to crave something cheap delivered straight to your door. That’s where fast furniture comes in. These are simple pieces made with a mishmash of plastics, fiberboard, and chipboard that aren’t built to last. They can typically be ordered online, are mass-produced, and ship unassembled in a flat-packed box. They get the job done, but once thrown out, their ingredients generally can’t be recycled and don’t break down well. “It’s of little emotional value, it’s fleeting, and it is not…

In an announcement Tuesday, the Danish GLP-1 maker said the new program will help “reduce cost uncertainty” so that people can maintain access to their obesity drugs.

The Trump Organization just revealed that its next construction project will be the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library: a towering, gold-encrusted skyscraper, branded with Trump’s name, that will sit just south of Miami’s Freedom Tower. Inside, it will contain a re-creation of Trump’s proposed White House ballroom. News of the development was shared via multiple March 30 social media posts from President Trump himself and his son Eric Trump, who serves as the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, Trump’s conglomerate of real estate developments, investments, and business ventures that has been operated by his children since 2017. The…
School is out for Rec Room. The social gaming platform announced on Monday that it will be shutting down this June, in spite of “reaching over 150 million players and creators along the way” since its founding in 2016. “Despite this popularity, we never quite figured out how to make Rec Room a sustainably profitable business,” the company said in a statement. “Our costs always ended up overwhelming the revenue we brought in. “We spent a long time trying to find a way to make the numbers work.” “But with the recent shift in the VR market, along with broader…
A grandmother, Angela Lipps, was arrested at gunpoint in her own home after facial recognition software flagged her as a suspect in a bank fraud case in North Dakota, a state she had never even visited. Authorities relied on AI-generated matches from surveillance footage and compared those results to her driver’s license and social media photos. That was enough to issue a warrant. She was jailed for months, extradited over 1,000 miles, and held without meaningful review until her attorney presented simple bank records proving she was in Tennessee at the time of the alleged crime. The case collapsed almost…
As anticipated by recent headlines, Oracle started laying off an undisclosed number of employees early this morning. A report from CNBC put the figure in the thousands, while a post on Blind—the anonymous workplace chat app—suggests that as many as 11,000 employees might have been impacted. According to reports across social media and on Blind, employees were notified about the layoffs through a mass email that was issued at 6 a.m. ET today. (Oracle declined to comment on the layoffs when reached for comment by Fast Company.) “We are sharing some difficult news regarding your position,” the email reportedly read.…
There are moments in history that expose the true nature of a regime, and what we are seeing now coming out of Iran is one of them. Reports indicate that the government is once again preparing for the possibility of deploying children into conflict, even going so far as to produce uniforms sized for minors. This is not propaganda, this is preparation. When a state begins organizing for the use of children in war, it is no longer operating within any civilized framework. It is operating purely on ideology and survival. According to recent reports, Iran has been mobilizing youth…
