LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani is a father again. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar posted the news of his latest addition on his Instagram account Saturday. “We are again overjoyed to experience this wonderful day in our lives together. Thank you for being born safely,” read a message from Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka. They also also thanked supporters. The post showed an image of a baby’s hands and feet in a blue blanket suggesting that Ohtani has a son to go with his daughter who was born in April 2025. Tucked in the baby’s arms was a tiny stuffed version of Ohtani’s beloved dog, Decoy, who also got his own photo at the bottom of the post. The news that Ohtani was about to have a second child came out of nowhere Friday. He wasn’t in the Dodgers’ lineup, which was posted much later than usual, after the team said he was “away from the team on paternity.” Ohtani is expected back sometime this weekend for a series against the Baltimore Orioles. Manager Dave Roberts said Friday night he found out “very recently” that Ohtani was going to be a father again. The famously private Ohtani has

Senior-level mothers are caught in a two-way trap: the intensification of work and the intensification of parenting. The pandemic gave rise to remote jobs, but it also gave rise to the infinite work day as organizations discovered the boundary between work and home could be erased. Staff Editor Shalene Gupta interviewed over a hundred working mothers about balancing professional and familial obligations and found that many are turning to artificial intelligence to cope. "There was one person who used AI to generate a bedtime story read out loud in her AI-generated voice," Gupta shared on the most recent episode of the Most Innovative Companies podcast.

I don’t know what was the greater stroke of genius; getting Taylor Swift to do the theme song or releasing Toy Story 5 the week that Sir Keir Starmer announced that the government are enacting a ban restricting children and young people under 16 from being able to use most of the major social media platforms. Hello, marketing win! My highly sensible response to, well, whatever exactly is going on in the wider world just now, was to take my offspring to see it on release day. I owe Pixar a thank you – they delivered an extremely slick fable about the (pretty pedestrian) dangers Disney weans face on social media. The ills in the film included pretending to be someone you’re not, being forced to grow up too fast and not making genuine friends. Helpfully, a plucky cowgirl and a space ranger did a far better job of playing bad cop than I ever could. Back to reality (regrettably) and from Spring 2027, companies including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, X, TikTok and YouTube will be banned from offering services to those under 16-years-old. Why is the government channeling its inner Headteacher on the subject of social media? At the thin

Taylor Borden, an editor at LinkedIn, emailed me last week with a question she’s putting to a handful of writers for a special edition of her newsletter, The Work Shift. The premise was backed by data that shows entrepreneurship on LinkedIn is up nearly 70% year over year, more than six in 10 of those entrepreneurs also identify as content creators, and people who post weekly see up to 4x more profile views, with commenting driving 2.5x more. Her question was simple: What’s one lesson that changed how you approach content creation? And if you were starting your LinkedIn journey from scratch, how would you approach your first 10 posts? Screenshot from LinkedIn, June 2026 I almost answered with a framework. Then I remembered why frameworks are the problem. 4 Categories Felt Complete. The Data Disagreed Back around 2009, Guy Kawasaki asked me for a few pages for his book “Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions.” I outlined four ways brands could create YouTube videos that truly enchant an audience: inspire viewers with emotional stories, educate them with useful information, enlighten them with documentaries, or entertain them by making them laugh. Four felt complete. It was clean

June 20, 2026 / 3:59 PM EDT / AP Add CBS News on Google Ohio's law requiring children under 16 to get parental consent to use social media apps must be restored, a divided panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday. The decision comes as a blow to NetChoice, which has won court victories against identical digital identification laws in other states, including Arkansas, Louisiana and Georgia. The trade group representing TikTok, Snapchat, Meta and other major tech companies said the Ohio decision went against "clear national consensus" and that it intended to keep fighting. "An unconstitutional law protects no one, and we remain focused on ensuring the First Amendment rights of Ohioans are protected," said Paul Taske, director of the NetChoice Litigation Center. Netchoice brought suit against Ohio's law in 2024, arguing that it was overly broad, vague and represented an unconstitutional impediment to free speech. The Cincinnati-based Sixth Circuit's panel disagreed. In a 2-1 decision, it found that the law was not unconstitutional and sent it back to a lower court to have a block on the law's enforcement vacated. "At bottom, the Act imposes a parental consent requirement," Judge Eric Clay wrote in the

Younger generations are set to face the biggest shake-up of theirs live in the coming months following Sir Keir Starmer's recent under-16 social media ban confirmation. The ban will see children no longer able to access apps like Instagram, X, Snapchat, TikTok, and Facebook. Reaction to the ban has been mixed, as some fear it will make children feel lonely, while others think it's the necessary thing to do. But it does make you think that we’ve all become too reliant on social media. If you were to tell someone in the 1970s that 50 years later, the world would revolve around social media, they would ask you what it was and to not be ridiculous. The ban is likely to come into force by spring 2027. (Image: Getty Images) But here in the 21st century, we have all become addicted to the endless offerings of the great media world. It’s fair to assume that, as a society, we’ve become more reliant on social media than we could have ever imagined. 15 years ago, we were limited to chat rooms and Facebook pokes. Now, with Instagram, X, TikTok, Snapchat and endless other platforms, the world has shifted. In one click

AI game is changing. The chip guys, like Nvidia, they had their moment. The first AI wave? They rode it high. But guess what? That ride’s over. Nvidia’s been flatlining since October 2025. Remember the internet boom? Everyone thought Cisco and Intel were the kings, right? Wrong. The real money was made by the companies that actually used the internet to build something new: e-commerce, search engines, social media. And it’s the same deal with AI. NVDA? They’re yesterday’s news. The real winners? They’re the robotics companies, the ones building the robots we only dreamed about before. We’re talking AI 2.0. The first wave was about the chips, this one’s about the robots. Robots that can do your chores, robots that can work in factories, robots that will change everything. Labor shortages? Gone. Industries revolutionized? You bet. This isn’t some far-off fantasy, it’s happening right now. And there’s one company, a robotics company, that’s leading the charge. They’ve got the cutting-edge tech, they’re ahead of the curve, and they’re dirt cheap right now. We’re talking potential 100x returns in the next few years. You snooze, you lose. Here’s the catch (it’s a good one): To uncover this sleeping giant, you’ll
