New reporting by the Wall Street Journal has revealed what many young workers are feeling: that the share of entry-level jobs appears to be shrinking. The reporting draws on analysis by the Burning Glass Institute, a labor analytics firm. According to its study of unemployment rates among young people, the firm found that individuals of all education levels experienced higher levels of unemployment in 2023-2025 compared to 2018-2019.

Google Search's AI Mode is rolling out in the UK

Earlier this year, Google rolled out AI Mode to Search users in the US. Now, the notoriously inaccurate "tool" is coming to the UK. While Google's AI overviews have been available in the UK since last summer, AI Mode provides more conversational responses and fewer links to other pages. Google touts AI Mode as a more intuitive method for asking multi-part questions or follow-ups. It uses Google's Gemini 2.5 model to detail how-tos, compare products or plan a trip.

Kerr County alone lost 107, including more than two dozen children at Camp Mystic. From afar, it would be easy, even tempting, to think that floods like these could never happen to you.

Earth is about 71 percent water. An overwhelming 97 percent of that water is found in the oceans, leaving us with only 3 percent in the form of freshwater—and much of that is frozen in the form of glaciers. That leaves just 0.3 percent of that freshwater on the surface in lakes, swamps, springs, and our main sources of drinking water, rivers and streams.

Elon Admits That Tesla Is in for a World of Hurt

The ordeal isn't over yet for Tesla or its investors, according to CEO Elon Musk, as it misses heaps of Wall Street targets in its latest earnings report. "We probably could have a few rough quarters," Musk said in a conference call on Wednesday, as quoted by the Financial Times. If past is prelude, he could be onto something. In the second quarter, between April and June of this year, Tesla raked in just $1.2 billion in net income, when during that same period last year it made $1.4 billion.

There are no two ways about it: Tesla is in a full-blown crisis under Musk's leadership. The mercurial CEO has massively tarnished the company's brand, leading to plummeting sales.

Despite Elon Musk stepping away from his DOGE activities, Tesla’s sales have continued to slide. No doubt Musk hoped that the release earlier this year of the refreshed Model Y would help reverse these fortunes; however, describing the six-year-old midsize crossover EV as “new” appears not to have attracted as many buyers as Tesla anticipated. Model Y is crucial for Musk; it accounts for roughly two-thirds of Tesla's global sales (though this fluctuates). Last year, however, according to JATO D
