The company warned that macroeconomic uncertainties including tariff policy have created demand volatility that will impact the second half of the year.

Several units within Google have told remote staffers that their roles may be at risk if they don't start showing up at the office for a hybrid work schedule.

Check it out in their video breakdown of the shot. I love how this was achieved. And find out more about WeFX here. Some notes from a WeFX release: The scene, depicting the harrowing demise of a horse and its rider during a high-speed chase across the American frontier, unfolds over roughly 20 shots and was brought to life by a 50-person team led by VFX Supervisor Ryan Ng. The sequence required a seamless blend of digital artistry and practical effects to capture a pivotal and emotionally charged moment in one of the season’s final episodes. The scene depicts Native American Pete Plenty Clouds being pursued by Marshal Kent and Father Renaud. In a desperate attempt to escape, Pete pushes his horse to its limits. As exhaustion sets in, the horse begins foaming and bleeding from the mouth before succumbing to its injuries and collapsing to the ground with Pete in a tangle of dust and limbs. This pivotal moment required seamless integration of practical and digital elements to achieve photorealism, making it a very complex sequence in the series. Given creator Taylor Sheridan’s deep expertise in horsemanship, the CG horse needed to be indistinguishable from the real one(s) used in the show. The WeFX team meticulously studied reference footage of horse racing accidents, carefully analyzing how horses fall and collapse mid-gallop. A full digital double was created for both the horse and its rider, Pete, with intricate details such as muscle movement, skin simulations, and dynamic hair and tail physics. Additionally, every part of the saddle was modeled and simulated to ensure accuracy. One of the biggest challenges was blending the CG elements with the practical environment. A special effects dummy horse was used on set, and the CG animation had to precisely match its movement and final resting position. A hero digital ground asset was also recreated, complete with matching grasses, foliage, and topography to seamlessly replace any traces of the set while ensuring the terrain appeared as untouched natural plains. Both Pete and the horse’s interactions with the ground were carefully matchmoved to ensure realistic interactivity and dust level continuity throughout. To bring the sequence to life, the team relied on industry-standard software—including ZBrush, Maya, Houdini, Nuke, and Arnold—to simulate everything from muscle dynamics to environmental integration. The result is a technically complex, photorealistic sequence that highlights the precision and innovation driving modern visual effects.

The European Commission is coming for “SkinnyTok.” EU regulators are investigating a recent wave of social media videos that promote extreme thinness and “tough love” weight-loss advice, assessing whether TikTok is doing enough to protect children online, per Politico. France’s minister for digital media, Clara Chappaz, recently reported #SkinnyTok to both the French media regulator Arcom and the EU. “These videos promote extreme thinness. Protecting minors online is one of my priorities,” Chappaz said in a TikTok video posted Friday. @clara.chappaz Et si on parlait plutôt de #StrongTok ? S’aimer, commence par se respecter. Ces modèles d’extrême maigreur peuvent faire beaucoup de mal. #skinnytok #fyp ♬ son original – clara.chappaz Arcom told Politico it is collaborating with the European Commission to examine the trend “given the public health risk” it may pose. A Commission spokesperson also confirmed to Politico that it is “aware of the issue” and “ready to cooperate.” This comes alongside an ongoing EU investigation into TikTok’s algorithm and its impact on minors. The Commission is already looking into how the platform promotes content related to eating disorders—suggesting that further action may soon follow. Although the investigation is still in its early stages, discussions with TikTok are underway. The platform’s community guidelines claim it does “not allow showing or promoting disordered eating and dangerous weight loss behaviors.” Still, content that “shows or promotes potentially harmful weight management” is permitted for users over 18 and is excluded from the For You feed. Fast Company has reached out to TikTok for comment. Search “SkinnyTok” on TikTok, and the first thing you’ll see is a platform-generated message stating, “You are more than your weight.” Tap it, and you’ll find links to resources for disordered eating support, including the National Eating Disorder Association. But once you move past that well-meaning message, you’re hit with thousands of videos promoting restrictive eating, body checks, and before-and-after transformations. “Unhinged skinny advice,” one post reads. Another declares: “Being skinny is an outfit.” And, of course, the old favorite: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” Weight-loss and pro-anorexia communities have long thrived on social media—just ask anyone who used Tumblr in the 2010s. In recent years, this kind of content has surged on TikTok, coinciding with the rise of GLP-1 medications. Many credit these drugs with pushing back against body positivity and ushering in a resurgence of thinness as the ideal. The effects aren’t just digital. According to a recent report by Trilliant Health, eating-disorder-related health visits among those youths younger than 17 have more than doubled in the past five years. From 2018 to mid-2022, these visits rose by 107.4%, with visits related to anorexia nervosa increasing 129.26%. In 2021, a report revealed that Instagram had failed to protect vulnerable users from pro-anorexia content. Let’s hope TikTok learns from those mistakes.

Members pay annual dues for access to peer learning, thought leadership opportunities, events and more. A company’s corporate brand name should be its hardest working marketing asset. Nothing will be used more often or for longer than the company’s name. And in a world where competitors can copy almost everything else, they can’t duplicate your name. However, sometimes the original name, chosen long ago, no longer fits and it’s time to rebrand. Rebranding a company is not just a superficial exercise; this strategic move can redefine your business, energize your team, and reshape your future.  Steve Jobs, a master at communication, understood that a brand is more than a name or logo—it’s a story, a purpose, a promise, and the right name can make or break a brand. After all, the man turned a company named after a fruit into one of the most successful brands in the world. Here is some guidance on when to rebrand and the steps to make a rebrand successful, with inspiration from Steve Jobs.   When to rebrand  So, when is it time to rebrand? Maybe your brand no longer reflects who you are or what you stand for. If your company has evolved—expanding into new markets, adopting new technologies, or shifting its mission—your brand must evolve too. Just as Jobs famously redefined Apple’s purpose to focus on innovation and simplicity, you must ensure your brand reflects where you’re headed, not where you’ve been.   Perhaps your brand is facing increased competition. If customers can’t tell the difference between you and your competitors, it’s time to stand out. A rebrand can help clarify what makes your business unique and why it matters. And most common, you are merging or acquiring another company. Mergers and acquisitions often demand a new identity that reflects the combined strengths of the entities involved—an opportunity to tell a fresh story.   Once a decision has been made to rebrand, here are five steps for success.  1. Tell the story first   We are all wired for story. When someone says, “I have a story to tell you,” we lean in. So the first step is to tell the story of the rebrand with emphasis on the benefits to the audiences. Why you are changing is a good start, but what does this mean for your customers? Craft a narrative that resonates emotionally and aligns with your audience’s needs. As Jobs said, “People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.” Anchor your rebrand in a strong “why.” And an even stronger what!  2. Write your future headlines  Imagine the article you want to see in The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times about your brand. What would they say about your rebrand? This exercise will clarify your vision and guide all creative efforts. While this sounds simple, the strategic exercise can be your compass as you prepare your creative and launch activities.  Take a recent Lexicon name, Lucid Motors. The company’s mission statement expresses that “through technology, we create exceptional experiences to drive the world forward.” For this assignment, the client was looking for a name that would capture that notion while setting itself apart from any other auto brand. The name “Lucid” achieves this by working on our imagination, moving us from the literal meaning “clear-headed” to “exceptionally efficient brain power” to “exceptionally efficient battery power.” While this is going on in the intellectual realm, we experience the shock of the name’s unexpectedness in its category. Of course, shock by itself is not enough. As we see, the name also moves us from the literal meaning of lucid to one that fits the character of the car.   3. Focus on the unexpected and emotion.  Humans like to think of themselves as rational animals, but it comes as no news to marketers that we are motivated to a greater extent by emotions. Logic brings us to conclusions; emotion brings us to action. Whether we are creating a poem or a new brand name, we won’t get very far if we treat the task as an engineering exercise. True, names are formed by putting together parts, just as poems are put together with rhythmic patterns and with rhyming lines, but that totally misses what is essential to a name’s success or a poem’s success. Consider Microsoft and Apple as names. One is far more mechanical, and the other much more effective at creating the beginning of an experience. While both companies are tremendously successful, there is no question that Apple has the stronger, more emotional experience. What is that worth?  4. Identify your audience and speak directly to each group   Different stakeholders care about different things. Employees need inspiration; investors need confidence; customers need clarity on what’s in it for them. Break down these audiences and craft tailored messages for each group.  Identifying the audience groups can be challenging. While the first layer is obvious—customers, employees, investors, and analysts—all these audiences are easy to find and message. However, what is often overlooked is the individuals in those audiences who can more positively influence the rebrand. It may be a particular journalist, or a few select employees. Once you have identified these influencers, develop more relevant conversations that help them understand the rebrand.  5. Plan for longevity   A successful launch must be roadmapped with events and reminders over a 9-18 month timeline. It is much more than simply reannouncing the name change; it becomes an opportunity to build stronger relationships with the audiences that matter most to your brand. Consistency builds trust. Plan events and marketing efforts over a longer timeframe to reinforce your new identity. For example, company or industry conferences are excellent venues to reinforce the change and show where the company is headed. Any event must be viewed as an opportunity to strengthen the reasons for the rebrand.  Steve Jobs approached branding with clarity, simplicity, and a relentless focus on storytelling and user experience. He didn’t just change Apple’s logo—he transformed its identity by aligning every touchpoint with its purpose: empowering individuals through technology. By following these principles, you can ensure that your rebrand isn’t just a name change but a strategic leap forward that captures attention, inspires loyalty, and drives growth. As Jobs might say, “Think different.”  David Placek is founder and CEO of Lexicon Branding. 

In 2025, per usual, Milan Design Week, the Salone, delivered an overwhelming banquet for the creative appetite, here's what Core77 found particularly tasty.In the category of national exhibitions, a highlight was House of Switzerland Milano. It was organized by Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia and Presence Switzerland. The theme of collaboration ties together a broad range of work and talent:https://ecal.ch/en/feed/projects/8162/designed-in-ch-made-in-jp/"Designed by ECAL and produced by Karimoku New Standard for the Swiss pavilion in 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Kansai, Japan.Designed in CH Made in JP is a cross-cultural collaboration from the MA Product Design programme at ECAL, Karimoku New Standard (KNS) and Presence Switzerland.

This Dearborn Pop-Down Drain is designed to improve not only the UX of the end user, but of the person who has to install it. In the works by Cleveland-based plumbing products company Oatey, It's a bathroom sink drain with a stopper that sits flush with the bottom of the sink—when it's open. Pushing it down, beneath the surface of the sink bottom, seals it shut. The stopper can be removed for cleaning or maintenance by hand, without the use of tools, a boon for users; there's no pivot rod to detach first.By doing away with the pivot rod arrangement used by most sink drains, the design also eliminates a potential leak path. It additionally eases installation for the plumber; no tools are required beyond putty for the seal, as the body is knurled for hand-tightening. Perhaps best of all for the plumber, it reduces the need to carry inventoryf. While other pop-down drains exist on the market, Oatey's design is universal in that it can be used with sinks with or without overflows; in other words, the plumber only needs to stock one SKU, rather than be prepared for both options.One thing the user might not like is that after filling the basin for a cleaning task, a finger must be immersed into the water to open the drain. This might be a dealbreaker for the finicky.The Dearborn is designed to fit all 1 ¼" bahtroom sink openings, and can be used with both thick and thin sinks. The user-facing components are made from machined brass for longevity.The product isn't yet market-ready; Oatey unveiled the design at the recent KBIS show (see below). They say the Dearborn will hit store shelves later this year.

Stress and fatigue can impact mental health and sleep quality, often due to low dopamine levels. Known as the “happiness hormone,” dopamine is key for mood, motivation, reducing stress, and brain health. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that regulates motivation, mood, focus, and movement, creating feelings of pleasure and reward. It also supports sleep quality, heart health, kidney function, and emotional balance. Low dopamine levels are linked to conditions like depression, ADHD, and Parkinson’s disease, making it crucial to maintain a healthy balance through proper nutrition and lifestyle choices. A recent World Mental Health Day report reveals that globally, 62% of people across 31 countries report stress affecting their daily lives at least once, with stress levels ranging from 76% in Türkiye to 44% in Japan. The ongoing challenges after the global pandemic have only heightened these stress levels. Simple lifestyle changes like proper nutrition, exercise, and quality sleep can naturally boost dopamine and improve well-being. 1. Regular Exercise Regular exercise is essential for maintaining both mental and physical well-being. By causing the release of dopamine, the “happy hormone,” it aids in the management of anxiety, stress, and depression. As a result, exercise becomes linked to rewards and pleasure, which promotes sustained engagement. You are more motivated to continue exercising when your dopamine levels rise. This cycle improves mental and physical health over time by fortifying the brain’s reward system. Frequent exercise fosters lasting habits that benefit both the body and mind, in addition to enhancing mood and dopamine levels.

Compact and easy to use, the AEKE K1 fits into small spaces and blends seamlessly into your home decor. 2. Sufficient Sleep and Nutrition Dopamine encourages alertness and aids in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle and lack of sleep can disrupt this cycle. To naturally raise dopamine, make getting enough sleep a priority, eat a balanced diet, and spend time in the sun a priority. You can manage your sleep cycle and dopamine levels by practicing good sleep hygiene, which includes keeping a regular sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime ritual, and making sure your sleeping environment is comfortable. Foods rich in tyrosine, like bananas, avocados, seeds, and dairy products, can help boost dopamine production. Tyrosine is an amino acid, a key building block of proteins, essential for producing important neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine. Poor sleep habits and ineffective solutions like pills can lead to dependency and disrupt the brain’s dopamine regulation, which plays a key role in mood, motivation, and overall well-being. The Wethm Sleep Enhancer offers a natural alternative, using gentle vibrations to promote deeper sleep and a gradual, refreshing wake-up. This device mimics the calming vibrations of a train ride, slowing the heart rate through cardiovascular synchronization, signaling the body to relax. It also gently wakes you up with a soft buzzing, ensuring you feel refreshed. Wethm is simple to use, one has to place the flexible pad on the mattress at chest level, set the controller nearby, and connect to the Wethm app. It offers AI-powered tracking to monitor one’s sleep and provide personalized insights for improvement. 3. Relaxing Activities Calming practices like yoga, meditation, and spending time in nature can be very beneficial for promoting relaxation and naturally increasing dopamine. Yoga can raise dopamine levels while encouraging relaxation, especially when it involves mindfulness and deep breathing. Mindfulness meditation is one of the meditation techniques that help calm the mind and increase dopamine production. Deep breathing exercises promote relaxation and dopamine release by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Spending time in natural environments, such as a garden, can also lower stress and anxiety by increasing dopamine levels. These benefits are further enhanced by outdoor yoga or meditation. For those seeking a moment of escape from stress, the “Goyo” chair offers a simple yet effective solution. Inspired by traditional Tibetan singing bowls used in meditation, this unique chair creates a tranquil space amidst busy days. With its rounded steel design, the chair wraps around you, promoting relaxation and helping to balance dopamine levels for a more positive mood. The smooth maple wood seat and stand are both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, while the contoured backrest ensures a relaxing seating experience. The chair’s bowl-like shape helps block out distractions, allowing you to focus on meditation or relaxation. You can even strike the bowl to produce soft, soothing sounds, adding to the calming effect. Designed to be both functional and artistic, the Goyo chair is perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat at home or in the office, offering a sanctuary in the midst of hectic routines. 4. Creative Pursuits Dopamine is released when creative activities activate the brain’s reward system, resulting in motivation and feelings of pleasure. Painting, writing, or journaling are examples of activities that increase dopamine production and these pursuits can induce a “flow state,” in which intense concentration amplifies dopamine release even more. Note that dopamine is increased when a creative project is finished successfully or when we move closer to a goal, which encourages us to keep going. Also, as the brain searches for new experiences, experimenting with new concepts and methods in creative work releases dopamine. Additionally, dopamine is crucial for cognitive flexibility, which is necessary for creativity. Wood is often associated with the color brown, but trees offer a variety of hues, especially when sourced from different species. In Japan, where two-thirds of the land is covered in forests, many trees remain untapped, presenting an opportunity for sustainable products. Forest Crayons is a project that uses pigments extracted from recycled forest trees, blending them with eco-friendly ingredients to create unique crayons. Each crayon’s color reflects the species and growing conditions of the tree, such as light green from magnolia and deep turquoise from fungus-stained wood. The crayons are made with wood, rice wax, and rice oil, and include ten shades like Bayberry, Cedar, Magnolia, and Zelkova. Supported by the Japanese Forest Agency, the project not only creates eco-friendly crayons but also aims to foster a deeper appreciation for Japan’s forests, offering a natural way to engage with the environment. Using these crayons may even enhance your creative flow by stimulating dopamine, making the experience enjoyable and fulfilling. 5. Music and Enjoyable Sounds Dopamine levels are raised when you listen to music you like, which improves motivation, happiness, and overall well-being. According to research, music, particularly songs that arouse intensely positive feelings, causes the striatum, a crucial region of the brain associated with motivation and reward, to release dopamine. Moments of intense emotional connection, like when a song strikes a chord with you or evokes strong memories, are when this release is most noticeable. The limbic system, which is involved in emotions and memory, is also activated by music. According to studies, listening to your favorite music elevates dopamine levels in the brain, which enhances mood and promotes mental wellness in general. The vinyl revival a few years ago brought back interest in classic formats, and new designs continue to capture the nostalgic appeal of vinyl records. While many try to recreate vinyl’s unique flaws, not everyone enjoys the full traditional experience. The RE; Retro Player modernizes this concept, offering the same sound and look of vinyl without the hassle. It features a CD-shaped plate that plays music via Bluetooth or internal storage. The plate also displays album art, and a touch screen lets you control the system. Although it doesn’t perfectly mimic vinyl’s sound, it provides a more convenient, damage-free way to enjoy the experience. Incorporating these simple, dopamine-boosting practices into your daily routine can significantly enhance your mood, energy, and overall well-being. By prioritizing regular exercise, sufficient sleep, relaxing activities, creative outlets, and music, you can naturally combat stress and create a healthier, more balanced life.The post Top 5 Ways to Naturally Boost Your Mood to Reduce Stress & Increase Dopamine first appeared on Yanko Design.

In January, Dragon Tiny Homes made a mark in the tiny house market by introducing the Aria, a compact and affordable towable home designed for convenience and mobility. The original Aria quickly gained attention for its smart use of space and budget-friendly appeal. Building on the strengths of its predecessor, Dragon Tiny Homes has now launched the Aria 24, an upgraded model that offers even more comfort and functionality. The Aria 24’s best improvement is its increased length, measuring 24 feet (7.3 meters), compared to the original model’s 20 feet (6 meters). Although the difference is only four feet, this extra space boosts the interior living area, creating a much more comfortable and versatile environment, especially for two people. The Aria 24 sits on a sturdy double-axle trailer, making it easy to tow and relocate as needed. Its exterior is clad in durable engineered wood, mirroring the original Aria’s look while ensuring long-lasting protection against the elements. Inside, the home features tasteful shiplap paneling, lending a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Designer: Dragon Tiny Homes The tiny home can be accessed through a glass door that leads directly into the kitchen, where you’ll find a compact but functional space designed for convenience. The kitchen features a small breakfast bar suitable for two people, a two-burner induction stove, a modern sink, a fridge/freezer, and ample cabinetry for storage. There is also additional space available, offering the option to install more appliances if desired, making the kitchen both practical and adaptable. Adjacent to the kitchen is the living room, which is more spacious than that of the original Aria model. This area comfortably accommodates a sofa and a small coffee table, creating a cozy spot for relaxation or entertaining guests. The living room benefits from generous glazing, which allows plenty of natural light to flood the space, giving it an open and airy feel. The thoughtful layout and well-lit interior make the Aria 24 welcoming and comfortable. The bathroom in the Aria 24 is located on the opposite end of the home from the living room, maximizing privacy and efficient use of space. It is accessed via a stylish sliding barn-style door, which saves room and adds a rustic touch. Despite its compact size, the bathroom is well-equipped with a modern sink, a standard flushing toilet, and a shower, providing all the essentials for comfortable daily living. The Aria 24 features a single bedroom, which is accessed through a staircase cleverly integrated with storage compartments, offering extra space for belongings. The bedroom itself is a loft-style area with a low ceiling, typical of many tiny houses, and it accommodates a comfortable double bed along with a small storage nook for personal items. While specific pricing for the Aria 24 has not been released, homes in the Aria series typically start at around US$50,000, making it an appealing option for affordable tiny living.
