Carved over millennia by the pressure and motion of glacial ice, the valley walls cradling the Tracy Arm fjord in southeast Alaska continue to be reshaped. In summer 2025, following the rapid retreat of South Sawyer Glacier, a large landslide sent rock careening into the fjord, altering the wider landscape in a matter of minutes. The slide culminated on the morning of August 10, 2025, when at least 64 million cubic meters of rock slid downslope. Material entering the fjord induced a tsunami that stripped trees and other vegetation from the opposing fjord wall up to 1,578 feet (481 meters)…

Tome, a book-tracking app and book lovers community, is closing its doors. Built on the back of the sizable and influential BookTok community — creators who discuss and review books on TikTok — the app offered readers a place to chronicle and rate their books, get recommendations, and even add photos of things like favorite quotes or memes, or share playlists that match the book’s vibes. The app was one of many that caters to a growing demographic of Gen Z readers who create book-related content on social media — a group that began mainly as women promoting their favorite…

Will dating app malaise finally kill off the swipe? For Bumble, at least, that seems to be the case. In an interview with Axios on Thursday, Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd confirmed that Bumble will get rid of swiping, the defining feature of 2010s dating apps. “We are going to be saying goodbye to the swipe and hello to something that I believe is revolutionary for the category,” Wolfe Herd said. Bumble is planning to overhaul its app later this year, following several disappointing quarters in which the app consistently lost paying users. In this year’s first quarter, Bumble’s paid…

Perplexity’s Personal Computer, its answer to OpenClaw and other local AI agents, is now available to all Mac users via its desktop app, the company announced on Thursday. As a reminder, Personal Computer is an expansion on Perplexity’s general-purpose, multi-model digital worker dubbed, confusingly, Perplexity Computer. “Personal Computer,” meanwhile, is designed to bring those capabilities to your own device. It does so by allowing AI agents access to local files, applications, and connectors, as well as the web, in order to handle the individual user’s personal, multi-step workflows. Or, as the company describes Personal Computer, it “takes Computer out of…

The profile of the MENA diaspora founder has become one of the more interesting figures in the global startup conversation. Based in London, Paris or Silicon Valley, fluent in the language of Western investors and product culture, but building for markets they grew up in and understand at a level that most Western-trained founders simply do not. According to research cited by the World Economic Forum, this cohort is now considered a core part of innovation pipelines in the region, precisely because they help transfer capabilities, networks and risk-taking cultures that local startup communities are still developing. The structural conditions…

Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy, Nasdaq: MSTR), the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder and first Bitcoin Treasury Company, held its Q1 2026 earnings call on May 5. The results were dominated by massive non-cash GAAP losses from Bitcoin’s fair-value accounting amid a volatile quarter. Yet the real story, and the market’s focal point, was a clear strategic pivot: the company signaled it is now willing to sell portions of its Bitcoin holdings tactically. This marks a departure from the long-standing “never sell” narrative and positions BTC as an actively managed capital allocation asset rather than untouchable inventory. The Numbers: GAAP Pain,…

A lot of the conversation around AI in healthcare focuses on diagnostics and drug discovery or on doctor-patient visits. But a less visible part of the system affects whether patients actually get seen at all, and it has less to do with the number of doctors in the world (too few) and more with the administrative work (too much) that happens between a primary care doctor writing a referral and a specialist’s office getting a patient on the schedule. That gap, it turns out, is huge, stubbornly manual, and increasingly attracting serious interest from venture capitalists. Kaled Alhanafi, a former…
