This weekend is the last one before Tax Day. Monday, April 18, is the federal deadline to submit 2021 tax returns or file an extension.

Yesterday news broke that Ukrainian officials are using AI facial recognition software to identify deceased Russian soldiers left behind on the battlefield and sending photos of their bodies to mothers and families. It’s an apparent attempt to cut through all the misinformation Russian state media and President Vladimir Putin are airing , but the grisly photos were still unsettling to many. Washi



Hello readers, and welcome back to Week in Review ! Last week, I talked about Apple and crypto. This week, we’re talking about Apple clashing with Meta over their metaverse taxes. After sending out hundreds of these newsletters, next week will sadly be my last time sending out Week in Review — but more excitingly it will also be my first time sending out my new crypto newsletter Chain Reaction, s



It turns out that redeeming points for a mortgage down payment may have been illegal and Bilt had to get explicit regulatory approval from the Federal Housing Administration. The specific sources of funds used for mortgage down payments are heavily regulated. They got an explicit government no at first, before approval, and then they had to get landlords to sign on, and many were skeptical (more

This week, the Quintana Roo government deployed 6,000 army troops in the tourist hub of Cancun, according to local news outlet Reportur. This increased security presence is in response to recent crime and drug trafficking issues that prompted a U.S. Consulate warning earlier this year about travel to Cancun.

Earlier this month NASA posted a schedule for Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1), the first all-private space flight crew. The four were originally set to spend around 10 days at the ISS, according to that previous r



Last weekend we talked about home bathroom sizes —as in, what you get in a half-bath versus a 3/4-bath or a full-bath.

Russian Doll returns on April 20, more than three years after the serpentine thriller from Natasha Lyonne , Leslye Headland, and Amy Poehler premiered on Netflix. That's a lot of time (and a lot of time loops) between seasons, so we could use a recap of what happened in Season 1 — a quick little rewatch wouldn't hurt either. Time loops, what a concept ! SWEET.
