The future of medicine just got a surprising new address: Bentonville, Arkansas.

Alice Walton, Walmart heiress and the world’s richest woman, just opened a medical school with a mission: prevent disease before it starts.

The Alice L. Walton School of Medicine (aka AWSOM) is flipping traditional med school on its head:
 🥦 50+ hours of nutrition and culinary classes
 🎨 Courses on empathy, observation, and even sketching at an art museum
 🧠 Focus on mental health, behavior, and community wellness
 🌱 Teaching gardens and a rooftop park
 💰 Full tuition covered for the first 5 graduating classes

This isn’t just about Arkansas, it’s about creating a model that any school could follow. One where doctors treat people, not just symptoms.

Would you want your doctor trained like this?

The Pope has entered the AI discourse.

In his first major teaching document, Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical warned about AI’s potential to deepen inequality, concentrate power, distort democracy, and create what he called new forms of “digital slavery.”

He also called for AI to be “disarmed,” arguing that technological power alone shouldn’t automatically give people the right to govern or shape society.

The 200-page document doesn’t just focus on chatbots and algorithms. It takes aim at bigger questions around who controls technology, who benefits from it, and what happens when too much power sits in too few hands.

And for the most part, the internet got behind it. Not in the AI-doomer side of discourse, but rather in the AI responsibility side.

Whether the latter becomes a reality is anyone’s guess.

It’s not every day the richest people in America unite over a common cause, but this time, it’s fear.

Leaked data shows 26 billionaires have spent $22 million backing candidates opposing Zohran Mamdani, the socialist frontrunner for New York City mayor.

Donors include Bloomberg, Ackman, Gebbia, Lauder, Diller, and more, all pouring millions into groups like Fix the City to keep him out of office.

Mamdani’s platform? Rent freezes, free buses, and higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy.

His warning? “Billionaires are right to see us as an existential threat.”

In a city built by workers and run by money, this race is shaping up to test who really runs New York.

The internet just created a national advertisement.

What started as a casual TikTok jingle by @Romeo.show turned into a national Dr Pepper ad during the College Football Playoff, all because millions of people decided it deserved to be one.

Brands flooded her comments. The algorithm did its thing. Dr Pepper listened. And yes, she got paid.

This is what modern marketing looks like now, where talent beats polish and culture moves faster than campaigns. Thankfully, real-life creators are increasingly setting the agenda instead of waiting for brands to do it.

When the internet agrees this loudly, companies don’t really get a choice. They either join the moment or miss it.

Judging by the comment section, this probably isn’t the last brand to come calling for @romeo.show

One of the weirdest, coolest things to do in San Francisco is also one of the most important.

Inside Cloudflare HQ, there’s a wall of 100 lava lamps that helps generate unbreakable encryption keys, securing about 10% of all global internet traffic.

And it’s not just for show. A ceiling camera tracks the swirling chaos, turning real-world randomness into digital protection.

And here’s the wild part:
 🌐 The lava lamps help protect sites like Uber, OKCupid, and Fitbit
 🕶️ Visitors are allowed, and even encouraged, to walk by
 💡 The light, movement, and unpredictability you create helps make the internet more secure

In a world of high-tech encryption, sometimes the most powerful tool… is a lava lamp.

Remember when a phone call was just a phone call?

A Seattle-based startup is reviving that simplicity with Tin Can, a Wi-Fi-connected landline built just for kids.

No screens, no apps, no random texts, just real conversations with Grandma, besties, or whoever you approve.

Kids can call other Tin Cans for free, or use the upcoming Party Line Plan to connect with landlines and cell numbers (including yours) for just $9.99/month. It’s designed to keep things safe and social, without handing over a smartphone.

No surprise it’s already backordered to December.

Would you get one for your kids?

This weekend offered a clear lesson in how movie distribution is changing.

Markiplier’s independently financed film Iron Lung earned approximately $22 million worldwide after he promoted it directly to his 38 million YouTube subscribers.

Markiplier has said he spent a few million dollars making the movie, meaning it has already turned a huge profit.

By comparison, Amazon reportedly spent around $75 million to produce and market Melania, which brought in about $7 million at the box office.

This does not mean Hollywood is about to disappear. But it does raise a serious question about whether creator-led distribution will become a more common path for mid-budget films.

One dad. One son. One big idea.

When John D’Eri realized how few opportunities existed for his autistic son Andrew after high school, he didn’t wait for the system to fix itself.

He bought a failing car wash. Trained Andrew. Hired others like him. And together, they built a company that washes 150,000 cars a year, with a 90-person team of neurodivergent employees.

Their secret? Building the company around their employees’ needs, not in spite of them.

This is what happens when inclusion meets entrepreneurship.

Turns out, the grind isn’t universal.

A new global ranking reveals which countries are actually getting work-life balance right in 2025, and it’s not just about working less.

It’s about living more. Remote ranked countries on metrics ranging from paid maternity leave and sick pay to universal healthcare and vacation days, showing which countries prioritize well-being without sacrificing productivity.

New Zealand and Ireland top the list, but Northern Europe dominates overall, with some countries offering up to 49 weeks of paid leave and zero minimum wage (because social services handle that).

Swipe to see where people are thriving after 5 PM.

Disney is facing backlash after suspending late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, a move that sent shares tumbling and wiped out nearly $4 billion in value overnight. The decision sparked waves of subscriber cancellations and boycotts across social media. Actor Mark Ruffalo came to Kimmel’s defense, calling the suspension a dangerous attack on free speech and urging Disney to reverse course.

Kalshi’s billboard is turning NYC’s mayoral race into a live stock ticker.

The prediction market’s new billboard tracks real-time odds for who’ll become the city’s next mayor, with Zohran Mamdani currently holding a strong lead.

Business leaders have threatened an exodus from NYC if Mamdani wins, but his popularity has continued to surge with policies that aim to correct the cost of living and right the uneven economic playing field.

Meanwhile, Sliwa has said he’s turned down bribes to exit the race, and Cuomo is grasping on for dear life.

No matter where the @kalshi odds land, New Yorkers get the final say soon:

🗳️ Key Voting Dates
 Early voting: Oct 25–Nov 2
 Election Day: Tuesday, Nov 4 (6AM–9PM)

J.D. Power just released its 2025 U.S. Initial Quality Study and the results might surprise you.

Based on feedback from 92,694 new car owners, the rankings track how many problems were reported in the first 90 days of ownership.

Here’s how it shook out:

🏆 Lexus came in 1st – 166 problems per 100 vehicles
 ⚠️ Audi ranked dead last – 269 problems
 🚨 Volvo wasn’t far behind – 258 problems
 🤯 Nissan crushed it with only 169 problems — but its luxury cousin Infiniti? 242.
💡 The industry average was 192 problems per 100 cars.

Moral of the story? A luxury badge doesn’t always mean better quality.

Would this make you rethink your next buy? 👀

Have you ever wanted to own an entire village?

Tut Hill in Pittston, Maine spans 42.5 acres and includes 21 buildings, from a Greek Revival home to an 1825 church, plus barns, garages, apartments, and apple trees lining the property. The asking price is $5.5 million.

It’s been pitched as a wedding venue, corporate retreat campus, or private estate. There are multi-bay garages for collectors, restored historic spaces for events, and enough land to feel like your own world.

For context, $5.5M in some cities gets you a luxury condo. Here, it gets you a village.

So… are we all chipping in?

The American Dream isn’t dead, it’s just getting expensive.

New data shows the average household now needs over $5 million to hit classic life milestones like home ownership, kids, vacations, and retirement.

A 20-year retirement alone requires $1.6M in savings, while raising two kids and paying for college adds another $876K. Even weddings, cars, and pets push the total higher.

The median homebuyer is now 56 years old, and fertility rates have fallen to record lows, proof that for many, the dream has shifted from “white picket fence” to “financial survival.”

People aren’t just watching the Epstein documents drop,  they’re betting on it.

Polymarket traders are speculating on which public figures could be named when the next batch of court records is unsealed.

These markets don’t say anything about guilt or wrongdoing. They only reflect what thousands of anonymous bettors believe will appear in the documents based on past reporting, court filings, and public info.

It’s a wild snapshot of how the internet now treats every major news event like the stock market.

Shoutout to Pasadena’s pride and joy!

Trader Joe’s just ranked #1 on Forbes’ 2026 list of best large employers, beating out tech giants like Google and Microsoft.

Employees report strong benefits, consistent pay increases averaging around 7% a year, and a culture that actually prioritizes people over efficiency.

Even their biggest “business move” feels backwards in 2026…

They’ve refused to adopt self-checkout, doubling down on human interaction instead of automation.
And for SoCal… this one hits a little different.

Trader Joe’s started in the Pasadena area before growing into one of the most recognizable grocery brands in the country.

The U.S. housing market is a tale of two countries.

A new map reveals just how wildly home prices vary depending on where you live, from $220K in Alabama to $825K in California.
🔹 California, Hawaii, and Washington top the list with prices well above the national average
 🔹 Meanwhile, homes in the Midwest and South remain the most affordable
 🔹 Migration trends from the pandemic continue to impact states like Utah, Montana, and Idaho

📉 Across the country, affordability remains one of the biggest hurdles for first-time buyers, especially young families and Gen Z professionals entering the market.

Which state shocked you most?

📍Data from PropertyShark, NAR, and Redfin

Melanie Perkins just proved you don’t need Silicon Valley to build a $42B tech giant.

Her design platform Canva turned a side project from Australia into a global staple with 240M users, and now, it’s minting employees into millionaires through a rare $42B share sale. Some staff cashed out as much as $3M in equity.

Why this matters:

Female-led unicorns at this scale are rare, and Perkins is now one of the richest women in techCanva’s employee-first equity approach boosts retention while rewarding loyalty.

- With an IPO likely in 2026, Canva’s valuation already beats Figma’s pre-IPO numbers
- Perkins and co-founder Cliff Obrecht pledged to give away 80% of their stake to philanthropy

A tech empire built on design, impact, and equity, literally.
