Wuyang-Honda E VO is a neo-retro electric café racer for urban riders

Honda has hinted at all-electric motorcycle concepts in the past, but it has rarely gone all-in for two-wheeled electrification with a production version. That seems to have changed with the Wuyang-Honda WH8000D bike developed in collaboration with a Chinese joint venture, Guangzhou Motorcycle Group.

Before the E?VO, Honda’s focus was on practical scooters and underbone motorcycles that had limited appeal. Their new electric café racer marks a radical shift from their usual offerings....

There’s something oddly familiar about starting the day with the best intentions, only to find your desk slowly buried under a growing mountain of notes, pens, gadgets, and little things you swear you’ll put away later. The quest for a clutter-free, efficient workspace is nearly universal, whether you’re a designer, writer, or just someone who likes to keep things neat. It’s no wonder so many of us are always on the lookout for smart solutions that bring order to the chaos.

Palestinian aid fundraisers face hurdles on GoFundMe

Over the past 20 months, as Palestinians have suffered under Israel’s increased military presence, crowdfunding websites have become one way for monetary relief to reach those in need. However, a recent Al Jazeera report claims that a number of GoFundMe pages with funds meant for Palestinians have had funds frozen or even refunded, the organizers say, without proper cause.

Frozen funds

Hala Sabbah, the founder of The Sameer Project, told Al Jazeera that GoFundMe refunded more than...

6 Questions U.S. stock investors are facing as the third quarter kicks off

The U.S. stock market completed a roller-coaster first half of the year at record-high levels, but a host of factors could knock equities off their perch over the rest of 2025.

The benchmark S&P 500 is up over 5% on the year so far, rebounding from an April plunge after an economic scare stemming from President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff plan. Here are some of the key questions facing U.S. stock investors at the start of the second half.

Roundish Bed is a modern design for comfort and play

Most affordable beds tend to follow a straightforward formula, which is usually a simple rectangular frame, ready for a standard mattress, offering a place to rest and recharge. But with the rise of modern design, the landscape of bedroom furniture has changed dramatically. Designers now approach the bed as much more than just a spot to sleep; they create thoughtfully crafted pieces that transform the bedroom into a true sanctuary, reimagining what comfort, style, and function can look...

DIY Tamagotchi Camera Is the Ultimate Retro Tech Hack

Few toys capture the quirky charm of the late ’90s quite like the Tamagotchi, a tiny plastic egg that demanded more attention than some houseplants. Decades after the original craze, these digital pets continue to inspire creative souls, and the latest tribute comes from Hairo Satoh, known as TamagoniHAI, whose inventive touch has turned nostalgia into a playful piece of tech wizardry. This time, the familiar Tamagotchi shell is hiding more than a pixelated creature.

Yahoo CEO Jim Lanzone talks AI, reinvention, and reclaiming relevance

Yahoo is at a critical inflection point. Despite having a large user base—across Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports, and Yahoo News—the media company hasn’t reclaimed the buzz of its early days. CEO Jim Lanzone candidly discusses the fear of being “left behind” and how he’s pushing the brand to shed its old skin. He explains the wide-ranging implications as AI remakes search engines into answer engines and shares insights about the line between fantasy sports and gambling.

Never Lose Your Cool: 5 AirTag EDC Picks That Make Everyday Chaos Disappear


Some mornings feel like the world is moving at double speed, and your most important things are always the first to slip away. Keys vanish between couch cushions, wallets sneak into jacket pockets you have not worn in weeks, and your favorite water bottle somehow ends up at the gym when you need it at work. Everyday routines can quickly turn into scavenger hunts, and staying organized feels more like a dream than reality.

With Apple’s AirTag, the art of keeping track has never looked so...

The danger of American oligarchs

New Yorker staff writer and author Evan Osnos spent decades chronicling the social, economic, and political changes in China and currently writes about American politics. To understand the second election of President Trump, though, he realized he needed to understand the vast inequality in American society. According to 2024 data from the Federal Reserve, more than two-thirds of the country’s wealth is held by the top 10% of U.S. households. And the top 1% of U.S. households hold more...

The most undervalued asset for a leader? It’s these 2 hours

By the time most leaders sit down at their desks, they’ve already spent a chunk of their best energy. They’ve triaged emails, squeezed in early meetings, and handled “just one quick thing” that ballooned into an hour. It’s barely 10 a.m. and their attention is already diluted, their decision-making fatigued.

In my work as an executive leadership coach, I see every day what the studies have been showing us for years. Our brain’s capacity to make good decisions depletes as the...

Billie Eilish’s next act: Getting music labels to give unsold concert T-shirts a second life  

Have you ever wondered where the unsold concert merch from decades worth of tours end up? For artists associated with Universal Music Group’s merchandise arm, Bravado, it often winds up in a massive Nashville facility, gathering dust. “It’s like the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark,” says Matt Young, president of Bravado. “This stuff predates me—I believe it was just forgotten.”

This entrepreneur made billions on crypto. His next frontier is outer space

Perched on a dusty high desert plain about 100 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, the Mojave Air and Space Port looks more like a final destination for aerospace experiments than a stepping stone to the stars. A field with dozens of decommissioned commercial jetliners bakes in the early morning sun–it’ll eventually hit 110 degrees around noon–and the small shacks set between dusty roads and cracked pavement look mostly empty.

The war in Ukraine has sparked a revolution in off-the-grid clean energy

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Russia has persistently targeted attacks on power grids and energy infrastructure, often leaving whole communities in the dark. In response, a transformation is happening across the country, as war has forced Ukrainian society to quickly pivot to—and start innovating in—finding renewable energy solutions that can keep the power on in the face of continued infrastructure bombings.

How to understand the new work expectations of Gen Z

Each generation of employees is shaped by its times. In today’s era of “perma-change,” Generation Z is exhibiting distinct professional traits. 

Having come of age during a period of economic instability and a global crisis, they’re less likely to hang their hats on a single career identity. They’re less focused on salary and more drawn to balance, but they’re also highly pragmatic. The latest Gen Z workplace trend, adopting a standard work uniform, is just one example of...
