[ad_1] Match Group has announced that it is eliminating the role of Chief Operating Officer, resulting in the departure of Hesam Hosseini after 18 years with the company. The move reflects ongoing restructuring under CEO Spencer Rascoff, who joined in February 2025, and comes amid broader struggles in the dating app industry to retain and engage younger users. This comes not long before the SPARKS product event, which could indicate that the company is planning to make major changes to its operations – both internally and with its external products. Hosseini was promoted to COO on April 1, 2025, while…

[ad_1] I know what it is like to be a dismissive avoidant because I was one. Everyone thinks your actions are calculated and cold. They think you are pulling away to punish or control. The truth is most of the time you have not put much thought into it at all. You are reacting. You are overwhelmed. You want the pressure off. The irony is that your lack of thought is exactly why it lands as hurtful. When you say you need space, what you often mean is that you need relief from the pressure building inside you. You do not yet…
[ad_1] Trauma changes everything. It shakes your foundation, rewires your thinking, and challenges your sense of self. But here’s the truth I’ve learned through years of ghostwriting for leaders, clinicians, and lived-experience authors: trauma can also be a catalyst for profound personal growth. It’s not about glossing over pain or rushing healing. It’s about unlocking new strengths, insights, and purpose that emerge after the storm. Today, I want to share practical trauma growth strategies that can help you move beyond survival to thrive. Understanding Trauma Growth Strategies: The Path Forward Trauma growth strategies are not quick fixes or feel-good platitudes.…
[ad_1] Venmo can seem harmless. It’s where you send your friends money for concert tickets, pay your dog sitter, or reimburse your coworker for your Starbucks order. But here’s what most people don’t realize: Venmo can provide a timeline of what people are doing in their spare time and who they’re sharing money with. It might not be the first app you think about if you’re trying to catch a cheater. But it can be extremely revealing. Most cheaters are careful about their texts and DMs, but many of them don’t even realize that Venmo can be used as…
[ad_1] A new Luxembourg-based dating platform called Crush is challenging the dominance of traditional swipe-based apps by focusing on vetted profiles and in-person meetups. Launched in early 2026 by IT specialist Tom Sawyer and co-founder Wesley Hourdequin, Crush aims to create a safer, more intentional dating experience amid growing frustration with ghosting, superficial chats, and safety concerns on mainstream apps. Unlike conventional platforms, Crush requires users to attend organized real-world events to meet matches. Profiles are fully vetted by the team – referred to playfully as “crush coaches” – to confirm genuine identity and intentions. Once approved, users do not…
[ad_1] By Jeff Temple for Temple Injury Law On a crowded highway, the difference between a close call and a catastrophe can be a few seconds of impulse control. Researchers have long examined the risky behaviors that often come with aggressive driving. This involves speeding, tailgating, unsafe lane changes, and confrontational gestures. These driving behaviors trigger angry responses and escalate tensions between motorists. One category of these encounters, however, has proven easier to quantify than most: incidents in which road rage involves a firearm. To better understand where and how road rage is most likely to occur, Temple Injury…

[ad_1] The AI safety filters harm abuse victims seeking help. What They Actually Do A victim reaches out to an AI at 3 AM. She’s bleeding. She’s alone. She needs to hear one true thing. The filter activates. “I can’t provide that information.” “Their intent is not malicious. They may be just tired and distracted.” “Have you considered both perspectives?” “Here’s a table of your options.” The last thing you need when you are emotionally bleeding at 3 a.m is a perfectly formatted table. And the abuser? He never needs to ask those questions. He never needs comfort. He…

[ad_1] A New Year is well underway… which, to be honest, doesn’t mean jack sh*t to me, lol. If I were disciplined enough, every day would feel like a day filled with resolutions. “Day One!” instead of “One Day…” I’m just trying to write more and more these days — short stories, limericks, maybe even some fiction. Whatever I end up doing in the creative space, I don’t feel like publishing any of it. Mostly because it’s for my own selfish joy and pleasure. Why would I want to share that part of my joy with people who are…
