Bluesky feels like the big winner right now.
I’ve been covering Bluesky ever since I got my invite in April 2023.

Blanca started with $60,000 in cash and a well-researched plan.
She hoped to supplement her full-time employment income to spend more time on her artistic passions, and also create generational wealth for her family.

Astronomers got lucky.
NASA has confirmed over 5,780 worlds beyond our solar system, called exoplanets. But it's rare to detect a juvenile, still-maturing planet, because they inhabit chaotic systems that are flush with obscuring dust and gas. By chance, this distant debris has parted, allowing researchers using the sensitive cameras aboard the space agency's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to spot such a planet.
"A huge planet with a long name – IRAS 04125+2902 b – is really...
A tender take on an incredible true story, Netflix's Joy tells the story of the scientists who pioneered the investigation that created the world’s first baby born through in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Their research in the late '60s, early '70s changed the lives of many — since then, over 12 million babies have been born as a result of IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies like it.
Directed by Ben Taylor, Joy is true to life in more ways than one, as the script was not only...
As a mom of two, I've spent many hours playing with my kids. I pay close attention to which toys and books bring them joy — and which get tossed into a corner. So when compiling this list of the best gifts for toddlers, I went right to the source. Part of our bigger series dedicated to finding the Best Gifts For Everyone, what follows is a list of the best toddler gifts, according to my 4-year-old and 1-year-old.

Branden Lathan considered himself a savvy businessman. He'd invested in real estate and ecommerce side businesses. By day, he works as a cybersecurity professional.
Recently, however, Lathan lost $56,000 to an ecommerce scheme that allegedly defrauded its customers of at least $25 million, according to a lawsuit filed in September by the Federal Trade Commission. The action was part of a broader crackdown on companies claiming a competitive edge thanks to artificial intelligence.
