And now, without even realizing it, millions of Americans are being watched, tracked, and profiled every
Artificial intelligence has seeped into nearly every corner of modern life, often in ways that are helpful, innovative, and even life-saving.

There comes a moment in every parent’s life when the dynamic shifts. The children who once needed help tying their shoes now pay their own bills, file taxes, and may even have children of their own. With that shift, boundaries inevitably evolve—and for good reason. While honesty and vulnerability can strengthen family bonds, there are some stories better left untold. Not out of shame or
A home warranty can feel like a safety net—ready to catch unexpected repairs and protect against surprise costs. But many homeowners are stunned when they file a claim only to learn their warranty won’t cover it.
