The teenage brain is built to help young people explore the questions, “Who am I?” and “Where do belong?” Answering these questions isn’t a solitary endeavor. It’s a profoundly social one. As young people try out different versions of themselves, they watch how others respond, gathering information about what feels authentic and what doesn’t. Today, many of those experiments and reflections unfold online, where algorithms and influencers play an outsized role in shaping the feedback loop. New data from Common Sense Media reminds us just how ubiquitous this messaging is in digital spaces. Their new report, Boys in the Digital…

Prince Andrew just gave up his royal title, the Duke of York, after King Charles and the rest of the royal family finally ran out of patience with the scandal-tarred noble. But don’t expect the disgraced duke to be out on the street polishing his résumé. For non-blue bloods, he faces mostly humiliation by losing out on his fancy title, not exactly hardship. The Post breaks down exactly what the news means: Why is Prince Andrew giving up his dukedom? Buckingham Palace confirmed Friday that Andrew, 65, has agreed to stop using his titles and honors, including “Duke of York”…

Imagine a real estate portfolio that anticipates needs, allocates resources, and continuously improves performance in real time—all without human intervention. This is the emerging reality of self-optimizing real estate operations: reshaping how organizations manage cost, risk, and sustainability across their portfolios. Today’s organizations operate across increasingly complex real estate footprints, encompassing a variety of asset types and critical infrastructure. A patchwork of systems powering these facilities—building management platforms, internet of things (IoT) sensors, workforce tools—often lack integration and centralized oversight. The result is fragmented insights, limited visibility, and reactive decision making. To overcome these limitations, leaders are turning to a…

The family of late Prince Andrew sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre celebrated the scandal-scarred royal’s decision Friday to surrender his Duke of York title as “vindication for our sister and survivors everywhere” — while demanding his prince title gets stripped too. “This is not just a victory for her, but for every single survivor of the horrific crimes perpetrated by [Jeffrey] Epstein and his co-conspirators,” said loved ones of Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year. Andrew announced he was giving up the designation after new accusations surrounding his connection to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein emerged this week. Giuffre, pictured here…

Is the Garden State is moving to the right after decades of being a Democratic bastion? From the high cost of living — energy bills, insurance, and housing — to the migrant crisis, New Jersey voters are voicing their concerns about the status quo in the historically reliable blue state ahead of the gubernatorial election on Tuesday, Nov. 4. One voter, a social worker named Susan, called out resources going to illegal immigrants instead of her clients and legal citizens. “We’re not an ATM for every criminal and every person with their hand out in the world,” she told The…

Pro-Palestinian groups are accused of funding a “pay for slay” program which donated $300 million to the families of terrorists in a new lawsuit, The Post has learned. Terrorists convicted of atrocities and assassins are profiting from the scheme’s blood money, according to the legal filing in Manhattan federal court. The action has been brought by Americans who have lost family members in terrorist attacks and is against the Palestinian Liberation Organization, an international group, and the Palestinian Authority, located on the West Bank and headed by Mahmoud Abbas. The lawsuit claims last year the PA Martyrs’ Fund gave out…

I do hot yoga three to four days a week, and being a dog mom and NYC native, I’m naturally an avid “hot girl walker,” too. I’ve tried every workout brand under the sun, but the only one I keep coming back to (and that can withstand all the sweatiness of the 100-degree yoga studio) is Beyond Yoga. Namely, the combo I’ve been obsessing over: the Spacedye Practice Pant paired with the Spacedye Slim Racerback Cropped…

Maryanne feels blah. The news gets her down. Her work role has shifted slightly, and is now a bit busier and less interesting. Her dad recently had to stop driving, and watching him lose some independence and spark is sad. She’s not depressed, but her zest to grow and improve feels distant. It’s been 10 years since she completed a Master’s on top of full-time work, and she wonders where that energy and ambition came from. That person seems far away now. Like many of us, Maryanne has internalized a specific model of growth, that’s about setting a clear goal,…

President Trump on Friday welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House for a third time to discuss ending his country’s war against Russia. The Ukrainian leader and his top officials have been lobbying Trump to provide long-range Tomahawk missiles, which would enable strikes against military and energy targets deep inside Russia. The meeting comes a day after Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The two leaders announced they would meet soon in Hungary to discuss peace. Earlier on Friday, former national security adviser John Bolton pleaded not guilty to 18 federal charges in his first federal court…
