Years ago, the website Earth Porm reposted my article “The Ultimate Guide to Traveling When You’re Broke.” As I went through the comments on the post, I was dismayed by the mean and dismissive comments people shared as well their misconceptions about travel.

Too many say, “I can’t. It’s impossible” and become cynical about travel. The notion that travel is expensive…

Often relegated to the status of useless chatter, small talk is once again at the heart of debates about our social well-being.

I’ve never believed that change should be reserved for special days, but the New Year tends to carry a sense of promise. It often brings a surge of clarity, motivation, and hope that maybe things really could be different. And then, as January moves along, that initial energy fades. Responsibilities pile up. Our bandwidth shrinks. And before we know it, we’re pulled back into the familiar current of obligations, far from the shore we were hoping to reach. It’s not that we…

OpenAI is looking for a new Head of Preparedness who can help it anticipate the potential harms of its models and how they can be abused, in order to guide the company’s safety strategy. It comes at the end of a year that’s seen OpenAI hit with numerous accusations about ChatGPT’s impacts on users’ mental health, including a few wrongful death lawsuits. In a post on X about the position, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that the “potential impact of models on mental health was something we saw a preview of in 2025,” along with other “real challenges” that have…

Here’s our Club Mailbag email investingclubmailbag@cnbc.com — so you send your questions directly to Jim Cramer and his team of analysts. We can’t offer personal investing advice.

We’ve chased our fair share of travel deals over the years. Flights for pennies on the dollar, hotels so cheap they almost paid us to stay and deals on everything from planes and trains to rental cars and even cruises.One travel deal that stands out was a crazy cheap flight to Kos, Greece after months spent living in Spain. We spent our days wandering ancient ruins with our kids, eating feta straight from local markets, and swimming in water so clear it looked unreal. That quick side trip wouldn’t have happened had we not found a great deal online.Kids playing…

Earlier this year, Tim Blake Nelson reprised as role as Samuel Sterns for Captain America: Brave New World. Far from his first go in the superhero world, and now that he’s gotten a good amount of experience under his belt, he made a novel inspired by that tenure. Simply titled Superhero, the book focuses on Peter Compton, a washed-up actor looking to make a career comeback by starring in the fictional cape movie “Major Machina.” Not long after he’s touched down in Atlanta to begin shooting, things have started to go bad thanks to “tension and egos,” along with Compton’s own on-set…
