Last month in the Oval Office, President Trump stated that people with learning disabilities should not be president, specifically calling out California Governor Gavin Newsom’s dyslexia. This wasn’t just misleading—it was harmful. Hearing the person in the highest office in the U.S. claim that dyslexia disqualifies someone from leadership sends a damaging message to the next generation. One in five people have a learning and thinking difference like dyslexia and ADHD, and they battle stigma and misconceptions every day. Even so, hearing an accomplished dyslexic leader called “dumb” and a “low-IQ person” in front of the entire world can be…
The Pope pushed back Monday on President Donald Trump’s criticism of him over the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, telling reporters that the Vatican’s appeals for peace and reconciliation are rooted in the Gospel, and that he doesn’t fear the Trump administration.Leo XIV’s comments came as traffic through the Strait of Hormuz appeared to have come to a halt, an intelligence firm said, and oil prices resumed their climb after Trump announced on social media that the United States would blockade the waterway.U.S. Central Command later said the blockade would involve all vessels entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas,…
Mental healthcare has traditionally been based on a single relationship: patient and provider, one hour at a time on a weekly basis. The major flaw with that model is that mental health conditions rarely stay in their lane, something we commonly see at Equip. Depression intersects with chronic illness. OCD co-occurs with eating disorders. One provider, no matter how skilled they are, can only hold so much. This has to change. The evidence increasingly points toward team-based care as the model that actually moves the needle for how we can deliver mental health treatment. Integrated, multidisciplinary teams sharing information, aligning…
U.S.-born Pope Leo XIV pushed back Monday on President Donald Trump’s broadside against him over the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, telling reporters that the Vatican’s appeals for peace and reconciliation are rooted in the Gospel, and that he doesn’t fear the Trump administration.“To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here, I think is not understanding what the message of the Gospel is,” Leo told The Associated Press aboard the papal plane en route to Algeria. “And I’m sorry to hear that but I will continue on what I believe is the…
Roblox is updating its child protection features again, rolling out restricted Kids accounts for users ages 5 through 8 and Roblox Select accounts for users 9 through 15, both with parental controls and other age-based restrictions. Users will be required to go through an age verification process, generally based on live selfies or a government-issued ID—or be effectively restricted to content approved for the youngest users. Since January, age verification has also been required to use the platform’s chat features, with users under 18 generally restricted to chatting people relatively near to them in age. “We’ll be going through a transition period where we’ll let all of our existing users know about…
Chipotle, like almost every other fast casual restaurant, has been battling an ongoing period of increased inflation and lower consumer spending. Last year, the company saw what its CEO Scott Boatwright described to investors as a “broad-based pullback in frequency” of customer visits, especially among low- to middle-income customers and younger consumers, due to concerns about the economy. But the burrito chain has a master plan to address that, and it’s currently moving into its next phase: making earning rewards feel more like a game. The company’s fourth quarter report showed a revenue increase of 5.4% to $11.9 billion. But…
Women have never lacked talent or ambition. What we’ve lacked, and still lack, is a fair shot to lead. In the U.S., only 37% of leadership positions are held by women despite women comprising 47% of the workforce. And according to research from McKinsey & Company, for every 100 men promoted to manager, only about 93 women, and just 74 women of color, are promoted. The issue isn’t who is capable of leading—it’s how organizations decide who gets to lead. That gap begins at the very first promotion and compounds over time. When fewer women move into management roles, fewer…
Published April 13, 2026 03:00AM“It’s over,” my wife says. “You can come back now.”She’s on the couch. I’m standing behind her, looking away. We’re watching POV footage of Dean Potter walking a slackline in Yosemite National Park, untethered, thousands of feet off the ground. He falls. He catches himself and stands back up on the line mid-chasm. To see it like this is so dizzying, so stomach-churning, I can’t look. Being uncomfortable is kind of the point of the film. On April 14, 2026, you’ll see what I mean when HBO airs what my wife and I are already watching,…
When I was growing up in Turkey, the hallmark of a successful career was staying with one company for years, even decades. Today, that idea seems almost quaint. The Great Resignation may be receding into the rearview mirror, but workers are still job-hopping, especially younger ones. The average Gen Z tenure is 1.1 years, according to Randstad. Compounding the issue, newer hires are more likely to leave: employees with two years or less at a company are 38% more likely to quit within the next year. Companies must “earn” retention continuously. Some startups have come up with clever strategies for…
