It’s a brutal hiring market for new grads. Hiring has slowed across multiple industries, and competition is especially fierce, given that AI has recently begun to take on tasks usually associated with entry-level roles. According to a recent analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the unemployment rate for college graduates ages 22 to 27 is up, hitting 5.8% at the end of 2025. Overall, hiring is down 7% year over year, and still well below pre-pandemic levels, says Kory Kantenga, LinkedIn’s head of economics. In an effort to help new graduates manage the intimidating start to their…
It’s official: Ticketmaster is a monopoly. A jury in New York federal court just ruled that Live Nation and Ticketmaster illegally dominated the live events industry, vindicating everyone who’s ever punched their computer screen while buying concert tickets. The verdict came after a lengthy trial where evidence surfaced that a Ticketmaster employee had talked about “robbing fans blind.” The Justice Department and 39 state attorneys general sued Live Nation in 2024, alleging its control of virtually every aspect of the live music ecosystem harmed fans, artists and venues. Mid-trial, the DOJ cut a secret settlement requiring Live Nation to cap…

After introducing a new strategy for performance reviews to include evaluations of how effectively workers use AI, Duolingo founder and CEO Luis von Ahn said employees started questioning the decision: “For a while,” von Ahn said, AI usage was a metric of company performance reviews. But it won’t be anymore, once employees pushed back. Now, Duolingo has backtracked on using AI use as a performance metric. Employees had asked if they were simply using AI for AI’s sake. “At the end, we backtracked, and we said, ‘No, look. The most important thing in your performance is you are doing whatever…
It’s the latest Star Wars battle. Only this time, the fight is for satellites. Amazon is paying $11.57 billion to acquire Globalstar, the little-known company behind Apple’s Emergency SOS feature. It’s the latest episode of Jeff Bezos’s long-running space rivalry with Elon Musk. The move gives Amazon a quicker way to take on Elon Musk’s SpaceX and its Starlink network, which already has more than 9 million users worldwide, Reuters reports. The deal adds Globalstar’s two dozen satellites to Amazon’s growing Project Kuiper network. Amazon plans to launch about 3,200 satellites by 2029. That still leaves it far behind Starlink’s…

The world can’t seem to escape the Brooklyn-based Gen Z band Geese. Some call them “America’s Most Thrilling Young Rock Band,” while the band and their frontman, Cameron Winter, are drawing endless comparisons to their predecessors the Strokes and Julian Casablancas. Just last week, the band took the stage at Coachella as they gear up for an already sold-out tour. But as Geese finds their footing in the limelight, suspicion is mounting over their relatively quick rise to fame—and now some are saying the seemingly indie artists might have fallen into our laps on purpose all along. In a now…
Freecash rocketed to the top of the App Store in three months. The rewards app, which claimed users could make money scrolling TikTok, hit No. 2 on the U.S. App Store. Then the truth came out. Apple banned it Monday for misleading marketing, according to TechCrunch. The business model centered on data harvesting: Freecash paid users to play mobile games while collecting sensitive information including race, religion, sexual orientation and health data, according to cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes.
