I lived in a series of group houses, including a basement apartment where the only bathroom was located in someone else’s bedroom. Naturally, I knew every happy hour and cheap drink deal in the city. I was paying down my student loans and saving for retirement. Beyond that, I didn’t feel like I had much money to spare. Unfortunately, it’s a feeling I still…

It’s been an exciting week, as Elon Musk and the DOGE have exposed the United States Agency for International Development for wasting our tax dollars on the most far-leftist, anti-American, and just outright stupid causes. While the American public at large is just now learning that USAID has been squandering our hard-earned money by the billions on dangerous and laughable causes alike, Glenn Beck has been sounding the alarm on USAID for years. “USAID, as we have always told you, is an arm of the CIA. Anything that is too risky to do that you just don't want to do…

Moving away from BMI, experts propose a new definition for obesity

A group of global experts is proposing a new way to define and diagnose obesity, reducing the emphasis on the controversial body mass index and hoping to better identify people who need treatment for the disease causedby excess body fat. Under recommendations released Tuesday night, obesity would no longer be defined solely by BMI, a calculation of height and weight, but combined with other measurements, such as waist circumference, plus evidence of health problems tied to extra pounds. Obesity is estimated to affect more than 1 billion people worldwide. In the U.S., about 40% of adults have obesity, according to…

This job interview question can help you spot a green flag boss

I’ve always been told to ask a couple questions at the end of job interviews: What does a typical day look like in this position? What kinds of challenges does someone in this role typically face?But nobody’s ever told me how to find out what kind of boss I’d be working for. A job interview should help you vet your potential employer and manager just as much as they’re vetting you — and one question can help you get a pretty good idea, says Deepali Vyas, the global head of fintech, payments and crypto practice at Korn Ferry.The question: How…

3 reasons it's hard to make friends as you get older

When I first moved to New York City, it took me about a year to find close friends. The first 12 months I said “yes” to every invitation and then wondered why I didn’t find most of those hangouts that fulfilling. It turns out there could be a very simple explanation as to why these meetups didn’t net deeper connections. In order for friendships to work, three conditions need to exist, Mel Robbins, author of “The Let Them Theory,” recently told Jay Shetty on his podcast On Purpose. 1.

Leadership relies on balancing these two forces. Here’s a simple way to approach it

Grief has long thought to be a human trait, but other animals – from killer whales to crows – also appear to suffer loss when a companion dies. Last week, a female killer whale was spotted off the coast of Washington State pushing the body of her dead newborn calf.

On that occasion, Tahlequah pushed the body of her offspring for 17 days, continually retrieving it and preventing it from sinking – an incredible feat given the fact that…
