I announced my daughter Naima’s birth with a picture that I snapped just moments after she was handed to me in the delivery room. I didn’t notice it immediately, but it looked like she was holding up her middle finger (one of my friends asked if I had done this on purpose, which made me question what kind of person she thought I was). Now that I know my kid, this photo was completely on brand.Right after I had Naima, I hit the ground running. I had to prove to the world that I could still do things besides mothering,…

By this point, I have now watched an astonishing amount of “Love Island USA,” which airs six nights a week (yes, six — it’s a commitment!) on Peacock during June and July.To complement this, I have also consumed nearly as much screentime guzzling down TikToks about about the show.This means I have seen more than one fan edit pairing clips of a contestant who wronged someone on the show with photos and videos of Saddam Hussein. (If you’re watching, you know why fans would make that comparison to KC, Sincere, and Kenzie.)It also means I’ve been bombarded with ads for the…

The AI detection firm estimates that 41% of long-form LinkedIn posts and 30% of short-form ones were likely AI-generated, based on its data from April to June. LinkedIn had the highest average among the platforms it tracked, which included X, Reddit, Substack, and Medium.One prominent creator who noticed this trend and reworked his LinkedIn strategy is “The Diary of a CEO” star Steven Bartlett.His company, FlightStory, stopped using AI to write LinkedIn posts after noticing that…

Millions of Americans may be due a refund from the IRS but face a July 10 deadline to claim the money, according to the National Taxpayer Advocate, a division of the agency that oversees taxpayer rights.The deadline stems from a federal judge’s November ruling that the IRS should have suspended tax filing and payment deadlines during the COVID-19 disaster declaration, which lasted from Jan. 20, 2020, through May 11, 2023. Under IRS rules, taxpayers then received an additional 60 days after a disaster declaration ended to file returns or make payments, pushing that deadline to July 10, 2023.Taxpayers generally have three years…
