Just in time for a new Super Bowl ad, Crypto.com founder Kris Marszalek made the most expensive domain purchase in history, acquiring AI.com for $70 million, according to the Financial Times. The transaction was paid entirely in cryptocurrency to an unknown seller and broke previous records. (Larry Fisher, the broker who brokered the sale, is probably celebrating his good fortune.) Marszalek will debut the site during Sunday’s big game, giving consumers a personal AI agent for messaging, using apps, and trading stocks. “If you look at the long term, 10 to 20 years,[AI]is going to be one of the biggest…

Saturday night’s post-match press conference at Newcastle felt like a big moment for Eddie Howe. It was emotional – and after the defeat to Brentford he chose his words very carefully.It’s been a long time since Newcastle were booed at both half-time and full-time. This is the lowest record since Saudi Arabia took over the club nearly five years ago. They are languishing in 12th place in the Premier League after three consecutive losses, and were eliminated from the League Cup last week. Howe is a man who dedicates his life, heart and soul to Newcastle and has continued to…
When America sneezes, Europe may not catch a cold like it used to. The Stoxx 600 is near an all-time high, marking its seventh positive week in the past eight weeks, despite the tech-driven misery around it. On the other side of the pond, it was a different story. In a recent note, Deutsche Bank began drawing comparisons to the dot-com bubble of 2000, saying the recent selloff in AI and software stocks shows no signs of slowing. This week’s decline has sent the S&P 500 index down about 30% from its October 2025 high. On the other hand, European…
It was on June 11, 1962 that Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers staged one of the most daring and infamous prison breaks in history, breaching the maximum security confines of Alcatraz to disappear into the San Franciscan night.Their fate remains a mystery, but the tale lives on as a stalwart beacon of Bay Area folklore, the ensuing eeriness of Alcatraz Island neighbouring the opulence of the Golden Gate Bridge as pillars to the stage of Super Bowl 60. Now bear with us while we botch an attempt to shoehorn Alcatraz analogies into footballing narrative, for a story of fortress…
For years, bedtime has been the most stressful time of the day. No matter how early I started or how carefully I planned, the night was always chaotic.I’ve heard the same story from many parents I’ve worked with, and it makes sense. Bedtime is a big emotional transition, and most of us have never been taught how to make that transition.But as a conscious parenting researcher who has studied over 200 children, I’ve noticed a clear pattern. The happiest and most emotionally balanced children have parents who follow predictable routines that reduce anxiety and strengthen connections. The differences in their…
Tel Aviv, Israel — Ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, D.C., Israel took a series of drastic steps this week to tighten its grip on the occupied West Bank. On Sunday, Israel’s Security Cabinet approved measures that would expand the country’s executive powers and allow it to purchase land for settlement expansion, in a move that far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said would “fundamentally change the legal and civil realities” in the West Bank. This territory is held by the United Nations and the international community for a future Palestinian state. Israeli measures include increased Israeli…

For years now, more and more students are considering alternatives to four-year degrees. There is now a growing trend towards two-year programs or even shorter qualifications, also known as ‘non-university’ qualifications. Rising college costs and associated student loan debt are also contributing factors. New borrowing limits in 2026 under President Donald Trump’s “Big and Beautiful Bill” are also a factor. Additionally, more students are seeking vocational training and career-driven pathways to gain a foothold in today’s softening labor market. The term “Anchorage” first appeared about a decade ago to describe the rise of alternative college programs. Experts say that change…
