The French Open is about to crown new champions. That alone makes this Roland Garros feel different. No Carlos Alcaraz defending his title. No Jannik Sinner, the world’s No. 1 player.

And no Aryna Sabalenka , after the women's world No. 1 lost to Diana Shnaider in the quarterfinals. There's no obvious script. And Martina Navratilova thinks tennis could use a little of
A new wheeled robot could help people at home before many humanoid robots are ready for everyday use. That is the big idea behind Hello Robot's Stretch 4. While many companies are developing human-shaped robots that walk, balance and try to act like us, Stretch 4 takes a different route. It rolls. That may sound less exciting at first.

Americans may be reaching a tipping point with tipping screens. A recent Popmenu survey found that 78% of consumers believe tipping practices "have become ridiculous," while nearly three-quarters of people — or 74% — say they've noticed restaurants raising the suggested gratuity amounts displayed on digital payment screens. When faced with those prompts, 59% of the 1,000 adults surveyed in March said they feel compelled to leave a tip. AMERICANS ARE FED UP WITH TIPPING CULTURE AS NEARLY 9 IN 10
A few months ago, I was poking around Colorado ’s unclaimed property database when I spotted a familiar name: my cousin Jonathan. The listing was maddeningly vague. It showed his name, an old address and one slippery little phrase: "over $250." That could mean $251. It could mean $2,500. Or, as it turned out, it could mean nearly $30,000. ‘FILTHY FORTUNES’ STAR SAYS MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE UNKNOWINGLY SITTING ON $10K–$20K JACKPOTS IN THEIR HOMES I sent the listing to Jonathan and forgot about

UNITED NATIONS — When Jeff Bartos appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2025 for his confirmation hearing, he was warned that the job he was seeking might not exist. The Pennsylvania businessman, former political candidate and endurance athlete had been nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as U.S. ambassador for United Nations Management and Reform — a title that has long sounded aspirational in a building famous for bureaucracy. During his confirmation hearing, Barto

Just 30 minutes from San Francisco sits the city of Richmond, Calif., which has quietly become one of the country's most unusual political experiments. It's a city where an activist coalition that includes democratic socialists has exercised influence over local government for years. From the outside, Richmond looks like any other working-class California city with a massive Chevron refinery looming over the shoreline and immigrant-owned businesses lining 23rd Street. Politically, however, Richm
