Taking time out of your busy day to sit and listen to the birds might sound hokey, but as a wellness writer and birdwatcher, I can tell you firsthand that it can transform your daily routine. Hanging out with the birds or listening to birdsong has real benefits like lowering stress, easing anxiety and even helping reduce symptoms of depression. It might not seem like much, but it's an easy way to slow down and connect with nature. Until recently, I lived in an apartment in the heart of a city.

Subscribers to the iconic fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue were horrified after spotting a double-page ad for the brand Guess, featuring a blonde model who didn't look quite right.

Trump’s Anti-Bias AI Order Is Just More Bias

wired.com Steven Levy 2026-01-22 05:00:00

On November 2, 2022, I attended a Google AI event in New York City. One of the themes was responsible AI. As I listened to executives talk about how they aligned their technology with human values, I realized that the malleability of AI models was a double-edged sword. Models could be tweaked to, say, minimize biases, but also to enforce a specific point of view. Governments could demand manipulation to censor unwelcome facts and promote propaganda. I envisioned this as something that an authori

GM’s EVs have been on a roll lately.

How did it get there? With a little help from a Tesla veteran.
