CNN —As Swifties and others rejoice at the release of Taylor Swift’s “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” a reissue of the star’s third studio album from 2010, one previously unreleased track has some scratching their heads. “When Emma Falls in Love,” one of the “from the vault” songs in the album rerelease, is gaining traction online as being about Oscar-winning actor Emma Stone, a known friend of Swift’s from the time “Speak Now” was initially written, around 2008-2010. Emma Stone (left) and Taylor Swift seen at the premiere of "Easy A" at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on September 13, 2010 in Hollywood, California. David Livingston/Getty ImagesOther slightly more vague clues come with a lyric referencing how Emma in the song “calls up her mom” to talk about her love life. Stone notably has taken her mother Krista to various awards shows and public events, per Entertainment Weekly.

Rodrigo is 20 now, and “Guts,” due in September, will be her second album. And while “Drivers License” and its fallout became tabloid fodder, the public narrative wasn’t encoded into the song itself. “Vampire” changes that. On “Drivers License,” Rodrigo still saw the other woman as an enemy, or source of tension, but now on “Vampire,” she understands what the lines of allegiance truly are, marking an emergent feminist streak. Here, she finds kinship with her ex’s other partners, and lambastes herself for thinking she ever was the exception: “Every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad news/You called them crazy, God, I hate the way I called ’em crazy too.”

Adults are clamoring for stuffed animals, a craze that is part of a larger toy trend among adults. For some people, stuffed animals help alleviate anxiety and loneliness. She said she created Hugimals, a line of weighted stuffed animals designed to relieve stress and promote sleep, in part for herself. The stuffed animal craze is tied to a larger toy trend among adults, or, as the toy industry has labeled this group, "kidults." Weighing 4.5 pounds, these stuffed animals are designed to replicate a "calming, hugging you back" effect, she told Insider.

"If you can't commit to being there [at least] three years, don't buy," said Elliott. Benefits of ownership are 'vastly overstated'Richard Newstead | Moment | Getty ImagesThe financial benefits of homeownership are "vastly overstated," Boudreaux said. For one, a financial assessment of affordability is incomplete if consumers only compare monthly rent and mortgage costs. Secondly, a tax deduction for mortgage interest isn't as valuable as it once was, Boudreaux added.

The company's Bud Light brand saw backlash over a promotion that featured a transgender influencer. The CEO didn't say whether he thought the promo a "mistake," but said the brand would continue to support LGBTQ+ organizations. Analysts from JP Morgan have also warned that sales could continue to drop, and predicted some consumers will swear off Bud Light "for the foreseeable future." Anheuser-Busch is now spending nearly three times more on Bud Light advertising, Whitworth told CBS Wednesday. The Bud Light brand has also donated to anti-LGBTQ+ politicians in the past, the interviewers pointed out in the CBS segment.

OceanGate's Titan submersible has been missing since Sunday. OceanGate claimed that Boeing, NASA, and the University of Washington helped design the Titan. In a statement sent to Insider, Boeing said the aircraft company was not involved with the development of OceanGate's Titan. The University of Washington also released a statement saying that it wasn't involved in creating OceanGate's Titan submersible. But the collaboration resulted in a "steel-hulled vessel, named the Cyclops 1," not the design for the Titan submersible.

As the backlash unfolded, Mulvaney remained relatively quiet about the matter on her social media platforms. Then on April 11, Mulvaney spoke out about the criticism she received on the podcast "Onward with Rosie O'Donnell." "I think it comes back to the fact that these people, they don't understand me, and anything that I do or say somehow gets taken out of context and is used against me," Mulvaney said. "It's trying to connect with others that maybe don't understand me. It's to make people laugh, or to make a kid feel seen."

But age wasn't a barrier to him landing a job as a software engineer at Elon Musk's SpaceX. Kairan Quazi, the newest software engineer to join Elon Musk's SpaceX, is only 14 years old. But while his age didn't prove to be a barrier to him landing a job at SpaceX, LinkedIn says he still is too young to join the networking platform. Before his LinkedIn was restricted, Quazi wrote in a LinkedIn post about his new position working as a software engineer with Starlink, SpaceX's satellite and internet service division. "I will be joining the coolest company on the planet as a software engineer on the Starlink engineering team," Quazi's LinkedIn post read.

Jack Dorsey was asked what he thought about high-tech headsets, like Apple's new Vision Pro. In the interview, Dorsey shared his thoughts on companies developing augmented reality and virtual reality technologies. Just a week earlier, Apple announced its new Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, a strong competitor product to Meta's own line of virtual reality headsets. Jack Dorsey admitted that virtual reality was "going to happen," but said it's time to have an "honest conversation" about its possible effects. Will Apple's Vision Pro turn us all into "WALL-E"-like characters?

While it received a lot of buzz, so did a surprising guitar solo from Apple exec Craig Federighi. In the pre-recorded video clip from the WWDC keynote stream, Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, is shown wearing a leather jacket and holding a triple-neck electric guitar. Gruber, who runs the Apple-focused blog DaringFireball.net, was also joined by Greg Joswiak, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing. In a video clip from the interview, Joswiak pulls out an electric blue guitar from behind two chairs — prompting laughter and cheers from the crowd. Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, for instance, has started competing in jiu-jitsu matches, and gained a shredded physique as a result.

Apple’s proposal would have downloaded onto every device a secret list of IDs corresponding to known exploitation images. It would then use an algorithm to determine whether any photos on the device were similar to those on the list. Like all matching algorithms, Apple’s system makes educated guesses based on statistical probabilities, but those guesses could be wrong. The second, and greater, problem was that scanning for one type of content opens the doors for scanning for other types of content. Do we want to start allowing the government to require companies to conduct suspicionless, warrantless searches of our messages with family, friends and co-workers?

When Elon Musk took over Twitter, he said getting rid of spam bots was a priority. As part of this war on bots, Musk says you'll soon have to pay to DM accounts who don't follow you. Last year, Elon Musk promised "to defeat the spam bots or die trying." The Wall Street Journal reported this week that the level of bot activity on Twitter is about the same as before Musk took over. "As I've said many times, it is increasingly difficult to distinguish between AI bots," Musk added.

In the interview posted Monday, Dorsey reflected on former Twitter CEO Elon Musk's management. Dorsey said he asked Musk to join Twitter's board many times before Musk joined in April of last year, during which Musk also agreed to buy Twitter. But when Musk tried to back out of buying the company, prompting a lawsuit from Twitter, Dorsey said that was "when things really went south." On the social media app, Bluesky users asked Dorsey whether he thought Musk was the "best possible" option as CEO for Twitter. I do have confidence in his new CEO," Dorsey said.

William MedinaWhen wildfire smoke smothers US cities and communities, suddenly creating a hazardous air quality event, workers like Leichenger say they’re left gasping for help to keep doing their jobs. On Thursday, Teamsters Local 804 partnered with New York City Democratic Socialists of America to distribute donated KN95 masks to workers. That could include greater attention paid to improving indoor air quality as well as flexible work arrangements. Research is limited, however, as to how wildfire smoke ultimately affects job choices and to what extent people become disinclined to work in higher-exposure fields with greater exposure, he said. For now, workers like Leichenger remain on the front lines.
