Getting yanked into one meeting after another? The Muse CEO Kathryn Minshew shares how she makes time for crucial solo work.
Every morning, you sit down at your computer with the best intentions. Coffee in one hand and your to-do list in the other, you’re feeling geared up and ready for a productive day. It’s the day you’re finally going to dig into those grand ideas you’ve been rolling around in your brain.
You’re mad as hell and you can’t take it anymore! Lucky for you, you don’t have to.
You and a coworker—or, for that matter, a relative, partner, or friend—had a falling out. The wounds are still fresh. You’re still angry.

The First Lady did an effective job of listing the shortcomings that she claims make Trump unfit for the presidency.
At the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Monday night, marquee speaker Michelle Obama wasted no time reinforcing the night’s attacks on Donald Trump—the only time in recent memory that a First Lady has lashed out at the opposing party’s nominee— by strongly going after his character and yet she managed to stay above the fray of a tense election by never mentioning his name.
Andy Stern, former head of the SEIU, makes the case for a universal payment to end poverty—and offers a strategy for how we get there.
The idea of a universal basic income (UBI) potentially solves a lot of problems at once. By sending a regular payment to all citizens, we could end abject poverty, deal with technological unemployment, reduce the overall cost of government, give more autonomy to people, and gain support from across the ideological divide as we do it (in theory, anyway). In its long history, some form of UBI has been supported by everyone from Martin Luther King to the libertarian economist Milton Friedman, indicating its unusual appeal.

To boldly go where no fan has gone before.
Star Trek really is the least likeliest cultural institution. It was a short-lived, low-rated television show that debuted to mixed reviews in 1966. By the end of its low-budget third season, the show was dead, and even letter-writing campaigns from fans who had rescued it once before couldn’t save it.
Verizon EVP Marni Walden explains why Verizon just paid $4.8 billion for Yahoo. One big reason? Yahoo’s 600 million monthly mobile users.
After months of speculation and intrigue, the bidding war for Yahoo came to an end today with the announcement that Verizon has agreed to acquire the former search giant’s digital assets for $4.83 billion in cash. Under the terms of the deal, Yahoo’s remaining assets, including its non-core patents and stakes in Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, will become part of a publicly traded investment company and rebranded under a new name.
Three months ago, Jeanna Barrett traded a beige office in San Francisco for a palapa on the Caribbean. This is how she pulled it off.
Three months ago, I worked in San Francisco as a marketing leader for a unicorn startup. I earned a salary that let me do, eat, and buy whatever I wanted. Now, I live and work from a beach in Belize, earn half of what I used to, and couldn’t be happier.
