Living in New York City, I’m on my feet constantly, so sneakers are my go-to when I know I’ll be walking for hours. But as someone with flat feet, I’ve always struggled to find truly comfortable shoes—whether for hitting the treadmill, commuting to work, or taking a stroll through Central Park; my feet and legs always end up sore after long walks or runs. I know support is key, but let’s be real, sometimes I skip the cushioned shoes altogether because, well—I love fashion and can’t say no to a daring silhouette.          So, when I came across the Fulton Classic…

Gone are the useless descriptors like “limited access” or vague statements like “we may at times have to cap the number of prompts and conversations you can have, or how much you can use some features, within a specific timeframe.” Instead it clearly states that you get up to five prompts a day with Gemini 2.5 Pro on a free account, 100 with an AI Pro plan, or 500 with AI Ultra.Free accounts are also limited to five Deep Research reports and 100 generated images a day. If you need to make more than 100 AI generated images in a…

The NHS’s year-round hospital overcrowding is not the product of a single failing, but the result of two interdependent systems under pressure: health and social care (NHS corridor care now year-round crisis in England, experts say, 1 September). The government’s ambition to build an “NHS fit for the future” through prevention, neighbourhood services and digital tools is welcome, but this vision risks treating symptoms rather than causes if social care is left out of the equation.Unless there is sufficient capacity in community-based social care to support people recovering at home, the logjam will persist, and “corridor care” will remain a…

Candace Cameron Bure refuses to fuel the body-shamers invading her comments section.  Over the weekend, the Full House alum deleted a photo of herself wearing a bathing suit after her comments section became “flooded” with negativity. When a fan asked about the missing post, Bure said she decided the picture wasn’t worth the unkind commentary. “I was at the beach. I was in a one-piece, not a bikini,” she wrote Saturday on Instagram Stories post. “I am soaking up the end of summer. I was having fun.” She clarified that her decision to delete the post “wasn’t about my bathing…

For almost 40 years, people who suspect they’ve been harmed by a vaccine have been able to turn to a little-known system called the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program — often simply called the vaccine court.Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has long been a critic of the vaccine court, calling it “biased” against compensating people, slow and unfair. He has said that he wants to “revolutionize” or “fix” this system.I’m a scholar of law, health and medicine. I investigated the history, politics and debates about the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program in my book “Vaccine Court: The Law…

My view from Valletta’s monumental, austere City Gate is a master class in palimpsestic architecture. Plunging below me are the 16th-century walls that snake around the city’s fortified harbor, while the rest of the scene is crowded with Corinthian columns, Art Deco friezes, and a 1950s Triton fountain, a reminder of the city’s maritime heritage. The distant hills are topped with Baroque churches and home to the ruins of prehistoric megalithic temples, dating as far back as 3600 BCE.Like so many islands in the Mediterranean, Malta carries the mark of numerous occupying powers, including the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, French, and…

Mario Tama/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Mario Tama/Getty Images Postal traffic to the U.S. has fallen significantly after the Trump administration suspended a trade exemption rule in late August, according to a global postal union. The U.N.’s Universal Postal Union (UPU) said the global postal network saw postal traffic enroute to the U.S. “come to a near halt” after Aug. 29, 2025, when the “de minimis” trade exemption that allowed small packages worth less than $800 to be exempt from…

It’s been a year since Brian Niccol took the top job at Starbucks and promised change after years of bitter fighting with the company’s burgeoning union.“I deeply respect the right of partners to choose, through a fair and democratic process, to be represented by a union,” Niccol wrote in a letter to the union last September. “If our partners choose to be represented, I am committed to making sure we engage constructively and in good faith with the union and the partners it represents.”But 12 months on, the union and Niccol are still at loggerheads, according to workers, and the…

As you’ve probably noticed, Google has gotten … weird lately. Weirder? It can be hard to find the search results you’re looking for. Between AI summaries and algorithm changes resulting in unexpected sources, it can be tricky to navigate the most popular search engine in the world. (And publishers are feeling the strain, too.)Earlier this year, Google updated its algorithm. This is nothing new—Google updates its algorithms hundreds of times per year, with anywhere from two to four major “core updates” that result in significant changes. And while it’s tricky to determine exactly what changed, publishers and websites large and…
