There’s an art to doing nothing and I have spent years trying to perfect it. Some people master the violin, others train to run marathons. I have dedicated my early forties to the delicate balance of achieving maximum results with minimal effort. In fact, my entire second career as an author and coach, which started in my late thirties, was born out of a need to declutter and have and do less. I have nothing, literally, to thank for it. Choosing when to be lazy, or strategic laziness, as I call it, could unlock your best work yet, without it…

At TCS’s 31st annual general meeting on June 9, N. Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Sons, described AI as the largest growth opportunity in the company’s history. He predicted that TCS will soon run as many AI agents as it employs people, and that governing AI systems will become the next recurring revenue annuity for the firm.The optimism is understandable, but the threat from AI agents is more immediate than the opportunity. The same modernization work that built the Indian IT services industry is now being automated by the hyperscalers these firms resell. Amazon’s AWS Transform deploys AI agents that handle…

At a sprawling new plant near farm fields in Washington State, CO2 is now being turned into jet fuel—and passenger flights will likely begin using it later this month. The facility, called AirPlant One, officially opened today. It belongs to Twelve, a startup that has spent the last decade developing the tech to convert CO2 into useful products.

The pandemic-era home price explosion was especially pronounced for luxury homes, but more than five years later, most of that growth has fizzled out. In a new report, Realtor.com examined luxury listings around the country and found that outside of two unique markets, pandemic appreciation in the upper echelons of the housing market hasn’t been outdone in the years since. Only Minneapolis-St. Paul and Boise have seen recent prices best previous highs, with luxury homes now sitting at 5% and 4% above their pandemic peaks, respectively. While Minneapolis-St. Paul’s luxury home prices only ticked up by 17.6% during the home…

As companies slowed their DEI commitments over the last few years—at least publicly—many of them made noticeable cuts to one aspect of their diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.  A number of companies, among them Walmart and McDonald’s, dropped out of the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, an annual ranking of workplace inclusion that employers once touted. Some employers also stopped sponsoring Pride events. In 2025, 39% of companies surveyed by the research insights firm Gravity Research said they intended to pull back on any engagements with Pride. Perhaps most notably, Target—which has long sold a wide variety of Pride…

Social media users quickly offered a flurry of answers, although not necessarily positive ones. “Because a significant portion of the north east regional like has bad signal for my…
