The world is changing fast because of AI, and that includes how we raise our kids. Some parents still think basic childhood milestones like potty training don’t matter much, but in a world where machines do more work, small parenting failures can have big consequences.

After knee surgery, many young adults get braces to help their recovery. But here’s the catch: people often say they wear them more than they actually do.

Deep in the Galápagos waters lives a small blue octopus most people have never seen. It’s so tiny it fits in the space between a person’s palm and middle finger. Scientists first spotted this creature in 2015 using a robot camera diving about a mile and a half below the surface. The creature captur

A New York night turned into a runway of sorts when celebrities dropped by Longchamp’s SoHo store for a special party. The event celebrated Jeremy Scott’s two-decade run redesigning the brand’s classic foldable bag, the Le Pliage. The twist? A drone showed up to deliver the newest design—a bright ba
Los Angeles voters face a big choice this year. The mayor’s race has turned into a messy three-way fight. Current leader Karen Bass is trying to hold on, but two challengers are breathing down her neck. Spencer Pratt, better known for his reality show antics, is one of them. His team claims his fame
A giant albino buffalo in Bangladesh almost became a holiday meal—until the internet stepped in. The animal, weighing close to 700 kilograms and standing out with its pale fur and light-colored mane, was already tagged for Eid al-Adha, a festival where animals are traditionally sacrificed.
