Your kids will roast you (and honestly, they're not wrong)
Kylie Jenner just got absolutely demolished by her 7-year-old daughter Stormi, and honestly? It's the most relatable celebrity mom content I've seen in ages. In a viral TikTok, Stormi discovered her mom's 'King Kylie' era—you know, the mid-2010s when Jenner was cycling through wigs like they were seasonal coffee flavors. The kid took one look at a photo of her mom rocking a teal wig with a red outfit and delivered the kind of brutal honesty that only children possess: 'A blue wig with a red outfit? It's not a good combo.' Even Jenner had to agree. 'I know. It's not good.' And there it is, folks—the moment every parent dreads and secretly admires. The day your child looks at your past self and says, 'Mom, what were you thinking?' As a parent of two teens, let me tell you: this is just the beginning for Jenner. My 13-year-old daughter had the absolute audacity to critique four-year-old photos of my former side part—and that's not even totally out of style yet. There's NO WAY I'm showing her evidence from the early 2000s when I thought baby bangs, Juicy Couture knockoffs, and low-rise jeans were the height of sophistication. I'd never hear the end of it. The irony? This same child regularly raids my closet and dips into my fancy beauty products. She'll literally steal my clothes and then have the nerve to tell me my hair looks 'giving millennial.' Girl, you'd be lucky to be as cool as I am—past fashion choices and all. Related: Kylie Jenner opens up about battling 'major' postpartum depression Here's the thing about Gen Alpha: they're growing up with an aesthetic awareness that's frankly intimidating. They've been surrounded by curated Instagram feeds, TikTok beauty tutorials, and Pinterest boards since birth. They know what 'slaps' and what's 'cheugy' before they can properly tie their shoes. Unlike us, who had to figure out what looked good through trial and error (and a lot of regrettable yearbook photos), they're developing their sense of style in real-time with unlimited access to inspiration. No wonder they can spot a questionable outfit choice from 2016 and immediately know it's not it. It doesn't matter how cool you think you are—your kids will find something to roast you about. Celebrities with professional stylists? Not safe. Instagram influencers with perfectly curated feeds? Definitely not safe. Regular moms just trying to look put-together while getting everyone out the door? We never stood a chance. The beautiful thing about Stormi's reaction is how it captures something every parent experiences: the moment your child sees you as a real person who made real (questionable) choices. It's humbling and hilarious and oddly touching all at once. But here's what I love about these moments: they're actually signs of healthy development. When our kids feel comfortable enough to tease us about our fashion choices, it means they see us as human. They're not putting us on pedestals—they're relating to us as real people who sometimes make mistakes (sartorial and otherwise). Plus, let's be honest—they're usually right. That teal wig with the red outfit? Probably not Jenner's finest moment. My side part? It was definitely time for a change. Sometimes it takes a kid's unfiltered honesty to help us see what everyone else was too polite to mention. Related: Social media aficionado Kylie Jenner wants to protect daughter Stormi from media exposure So to all the parents out there dreading the day your child discovers your old Facebook photos: embrace it. Laugh with them. Admit that yes, you thought that outfit was amazing at the time, and no, you're not sure what you were thinking either. Because at the end of the day, these moments of gentle mockery are actually moments of connection. Your kid is saying, 'I see you, I know you, and I love you enough to tell you the truth—even when that truth is that your 2016 fashion choices were questionable.' And honestly? That's pretty beautiful, even if it stings a little. Just maybe hide those early 2000s photos for a few more years. There's only so much roasting a parent can take in one lifetime.

Tech Companies Double Down on Remote Work As America Returns to the Office
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Every once in a while, panic rips through the workforce at Pinterest. "I don't think there's anything that we've done internally to give people the impression," Doniel Sutton, the chief people officer at Pinterest, told Newsweek. "But when people see articles mandating five days a week back in [the] office, it automatically triggers a thought in people's mind, 'Well, could that possibly occur here?" Five years ago, the pandemic forced millions of workers across corporate America to work from home. As "commuting" vanished from office vernacular and Zoom meetings became the norm, business leaders hailed flexible work options as the future of work. Now, employers are reversing their position. Amazon, AT&T, Boeing, Dell, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Tesla and The Washington Post have all issued five-day return-to-office (RTO) mandates. Major tech players, including Apple, Google, IBM, Meta and Salesforce, are also requiring employees to work in-person in some weekly capacity. But as thousands of employees are being told that their days of working remotely are over, some tech companies, like Pinterest, are doubling down on flexibility in the workplace. Their workforces couldn't be happier. This year, Pinterest received the highest possible score on Newsweek's ranking of America's Greatest Workplaces in Tech 2025, achieving five stars this year. Airbnb and Dropbox, which also offer remote work policies, appeared on the list as well. The ranking, which was published in partnership with Plant-A Insight Group, ranked companies based on data gathered from over 400,000 employee interviews and 4.9 million company reviews. "The most consistent response we get is, 'Please don't take it away!'" Sutton laughed. Photo-illustration by Newsweek/Getty "We conduct employee voice surveys twice a year and since its inception, PinFlex has been the highest-rated survey item every year," Sutton said. "People love it. It allows them to more effectively integrate both their work and their personal life. It's particularly beneficial for working parents, caregivers, people who have unpredictable life situations." A study published in Personnel Psychology last year showed that remote workers are more satisfied with their jobs, more committed to their organization and less likely to want to leave it. Personnel Psychology is a research journal centered around people at work. At the same time, RTO policies have reportedly taken a toll on employees. An internal memo from JPMorgan that was leaked on Tuesday showed morale down among employees. The bank's leadership attributed dissatisfaction with the company culture to its March decision, which required all employees to work full-time in the office. Previously, employees were expected to be in-person three days a week. Speaking on the growing number of RTO mandates across the country, Sutton said, "We obviously see those situations and feel pretty confident that we've made the right decision for Pinterest." In fact, PinFlex—Pinterest's remote work model—is often cited as the main driver for candidates, according to Sutton. "People are looking for flexibility. They are looking for an environment where they can do their best work, but also focus on life," the chief people officer said. Before PinFlex was implemented three years ago, two-thirds of Pinterest's workforce was based in the Bay Area. Now, employees in that region only make up about a third of the workforce. Sutton herself is based out of Orange County. Airbnb, which also allows employees to work remotely with its "Live and Work Anywhere" policy, describes a similar advantage of recruiting more qualified candidates, especially those located in non-tech hubs like Boston and Chicago. "Live and Work Anywhere is certainly great because not all the best quality people in the world are within 50 miles of San Francisco," Dave Stephenson, Airbnb's chief business officer and head of employee experience, told Newsweek. "We're able to tap into [a new pool of] people who are experienced and have amazing skills from Kansas City to Miami to New York to Hong Kong to everywhere in between. We're all over the world and that enables us to pick the best people at any given job," he said. A remote worker sits at her desk at her home in Frederick, Maryland on January 14, 2025. A remote worker sits at her desk at her home in Frederick, Maryland on January 14, 2025. Agnes Bun/AFP Brad Alge, an associate professor in organizational behavior and human resources at Purdue University, told Newsweek that remote work options are a great way for firms to expand their talent pool. Offering these policies can enable organizations to tap into a global talent pool without requiring relocation and to target populations of workers who may struggle in a traditional office setting. "One of our [Employee Resource Groups] is focused on neurodivergency, and so we understand people have different struggles that they're dealing with," Sutton said. "We want to allow them some agency, to choose what will be most valuable for them, and to make sure that the support system is there." Flexible workplaces can also be a non-negotiable for some employees. "Younger generations (Gen Z, Millenials) expect to have location flexibility," Alge said. "Companies that don't offer flexible work will be at a competitive disadvantage in terms of hiring talent. " While Millenials make up 70 percent of Pinterest's workforce, it's not lost on Sutton that Gen Z is the company's next fastest growing population. "We're very intentional on bringing them together for learning opportunities," she said. "Even though we have a remote first work policy, we put a lot of attention and resources to bringing teams together in our offices around the world for collaboration, community building and engagement." The biggest concern when it comes to remote work is that these models can lead to feelings of isolation for workers. Pinterest and Airbnb both seek to combat that by offering in-person worksites for their staff. Pinterest has 24 offices around the globe, while Airbnb has 26 offices worldwide. Pinterest employees appear at an all-hands gathering in-office. Pinterest employees appear at an all-hands gathering in-office. Pinterest The data and research team at Plant-A told Newsweek that support for remote work and flexible work arrangements is particularly high among Pinterest employees, 89 percent, compared to the software and information services industry average of 75 percent. Those insights also showed Airbnb with clear year-over-year improvements, with 80 percent of employees saying there is a high level of trust, transparency and respect among workers at all levels, compared to last year's 71 percent. Airbnb's 80 percent was also higher than the industry average of 73 percent. This year, Airbnb received four and a half stars on America's Greatest Workplaces 2025. Receiving the same four-and-a-half score was Dropbox, the file hosting service that describes itself as a "Virtual First" company. Speaking at Atlassian's Team '25 conference in April, Allison Vendt, Dropbox's vice president of people operations and experience, called Virtual First "the working model of the future." "It really combines the best of both remote and in-person work and we really focus on how we work versus where we work," Vendt said. Data from Plant-A shows that employees at Dropbox ranked the company higher than the industry average, with 82 percent stating that their employer supports work-life balance opportunities at home, compared to the industry average of 73 percent. "When we were designing Virtual First, we wanted to make sure it was also in-line with our values," she said. "I think something that was true then, and continues to be true, is that there's really no substitute for being in-person and that human connection." By being more intentional with the in-person time that Dropbox employees spend together, Vendt said the company has been able to ensure that 99 percent of work gatherings deliver at least one positive business outcome. "Eighty-six percent of employees rate that their team effectiveness improves after they gather," she added. Remote options haven't only improved the time employees spend face-to-face with each other, but also the face-to-face time they now spend with their communities. At Pinterest, where employees have up to 40 calendar hours of volunteer time off, Sutton has seen an increase in volunteer work. "We also notice that there's an uptick [in volunteering] when disasters like the LA fires happen," Sutton said. "Even the executive team and I did some volunteer work ourselves. We really try to promote not just the positivity we create for folks who use our platform, but for the broader society that we live in and are supported by."

Yoga Day special: 10 powerful yoga poses and their incredible benefits for a healthier life
Yoga Day special: 10 powerful yoga poses and their incredible benefits for a healthier life 10 Photos . Updated: 20 Jun 2025, 11:06 AM IST Share Via International Yoga Day is observed worldwide every year on June 21. This year's theme is 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health.' In celebration, here are some yoga poses that promote a healthier and more balanced life. 1/10The Tree pose may appear simple, but it is not a resting posture. Proper alignment is key—your back should be elongated, hips level, and weight evenly distributed on the standing leg. This pose challenges and enhances your balance while building strength and focus. (Pixabay ) 2/10The Chair yoga pose helps tone the leg muscles and strengthen the hip flexors, ankles, calves, and back. It also stretches the chest and shoulders, alleviates symptoms of flat feet, and stimulates the heart, diaphragm, and abdominal organs for improved overall function. (Pinterest ) 3/10The Four-Limbed Staff pose helps build strength in the arms, wrists, and core. It's also an excellent foundational pose to prepare the body for more advanced arm-balancing postures. (Pexels ) 4/10The Triangle pose offers a wide range of benefits for the body. It enhances spinal flexibility, supports proper shoulder alignment, and helps relieve back pain and neck stiffness. (Pexels ) 5/10The Warrior II yoga pose strengthens the legs and arms, opens the chest and shoulders, and engages the abdominal muscles. Regulating your breath and focusing on the extension of your arms can help cultivate patience. Maintain an elevated posture—avoid collapsing into your hips and resist the pull of gravity. Stay grounded and strong. (Pexels ) 6/10Warrior I is an ideal pose for unwinding after a stressful day, helping to relax both the body and mind. Its benefits are far-reaching: it builds strength in the knees and feet, stretches the shoulders and spine, and enhances concentration and focus. (Pexels ) 7/10The Easy Pose might appear simple, but it offers numerous benefits for the body. It serves as a gentle hip opener, promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and can help ease menstrual discomfort in women. When practising this pose, be sure to keep your spine straight for maximum effect. (Pexels ) 8/10Child's Pose is a gentle resting posture that helps relieve tension in the neck, back, and hips. While in this pose, focus on slow, steady breathing with arms extended, hips relaxed, and forehead resting on the mat. It's one of the most calming and restorative poses, making it a safe place to return to anytime during your practice. (Pexels ) 9/10The Downward Dog yoga pose helps lengthen and decompress the spine, stretches the hamstrings, strengthens the arms, boosts oxygen flow to the brain, and promotes a sense of mental calm.
