RETN started with a bold ambition to build a nine-figure business. After doubling our revenue to nearly $80 million in the last five years, that goal is now within close reach. But it’s taken more than a daring founding team to get us to this point. This is all due to our engineers, sales, and support staff, who share a desire to grow and achieve exceptional results. As a team, we believe a business is only as strong as its weakest link. Poor components can cause bottlenecks and compromise performance. To maintain our strong network, we’re meticulous about hiring, no…
Gmail is changing for some users.dpa/picture alliance via Getty ImagesGoogle is offering new Gmail users a free upgrade in some regions — a 300% uplift in email and photo storage. But there’s a catch. Those users are given just 5GB initially — not the usual 15GB. To recover the missing 10GB “at no cost,” users need to give Google their phone number. And that has prompted a backlash.“Google’s 15GB free cloud storage may be going away soon,” Android Authority says. While it’s limited for now, “if Google’s tests prove successful, this could possibly become the norm for new sign-ups in…
Graduation season is upon us, which means copies of Oh, the Places You’ll Go! are flying off bookstore shelves—since whimsical Seussian life advice has been the go-to gift for new graduates since 1990. But handing over a picture book seems especially unhelpful for the class of 2026. While every generation of young graduates seems to face a unique set of woes in their early adulthood, this year’s new grads are coming up against some particularly turbulent times. AI is gobbling up the entry-level jobs that new graduates need to get their foot in the door. Adding insult to injury, commencement…
Sony recently backed Marathon during its earnings call, even as it reported that it has amassed $765 million in impairment losses against Bungie. That, however, still means Sony values Bungie as an almost $3 billion asset, meaning they are sticking with the studio for a while, at least. Here’s what Sony said about Marathon and its goals going forward:“Player reception to Marathon is strong, receiving a Metacritic score of 82 and more than 90% of the player reviews on Steam being positive. Engagement metrics such as retention also remain at a high level. Going forward, we aim to improve the…
Kevin Warsh is now likely to secure Senate approval as the next Federal Reserve chair—and become arguably the most powerful central banker in the world. But when Warsh appeared before the Senate Banking Committee for his confirmation hearing in April, one punchy question underscored the dilemma that Warsh, lawmakers and the Fed all face: “Are you going to be the president’s human sock puppet?” asked Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana. On one level, the question reflects President Donald Trump’s intense pressure on the central bank to cut rates, with current Chair Jerome Powell often the target of his ire.…
The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke is rather chatty about a finale that critics didn’t have screeners for, and in a new interview with Collider, he has a lot to say about it, including a lot of expectation-setting. And not much of it is going to please fans. Spoilers follow, I suppose, but it comes from Kripke directly, so it’s not like this is a leak or something.Kripke was asked about the recent appearance of Gen V’s Jordan and Marie in The Boys, where Marie has godlike powers the show is seemingly dismissing. They will appear in the finale, but Kripke…
When Olympic skier Eileen Gu walked the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art at the Met Gala on May 4, she wore a short, shimmering gown that appeared to be made of thousands of iridescent soap bubbles caught mid-float, clustered across her body and trailing into the air behind her.

Assembled from 15,000 hand-formed glass bubbles, it took 2,550 hours to construct, and contained hidden microprocessors that released real bubbles into the air as Gu…

Published May 16, 2026 04:46AMIn the remote canyons of Utah’s Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, a battle over public land protections is quietly unfolding.More than 150 researchers and scientific institutions have called on lawmakers to reject legislation that would strip Grand Staircase-Escalante of federal protections granted in 2025. Such a move, they warn, could set a dangerous precedent for rolling back protections on public lands nationwide. “This isn’t about one monument—it’s a precedent. If Congress can undo Grand Staircase, legal experts warn any monument could be next,” Chris Hill, CEO of the nonprofit advocacy group Conservation Lands Foundation, told Outside. Established…
Want more housing market stories from Lance Lambert’s ResiClub in your inbox? Subscribe to the ResiClub newsletter. During the pandemic housing boom, housing demand surged rapidly amid ultralow interest rates, stimulus, and the remote work boom. Federal Reserve researchers estimate “new construction would have had to increase by roughly 300% to absorb the pandemic-era surge in demand.” Unlike housing demand, housing stock isn’t as elastic and can’t quickly ramp up. As a result, the heightened demand drained the market of active inventory and caused home prices to overheat, with U.S. home prices in June 2022 sitting at a staggering 43.2%…
