IRS' free tax filing program is at risk amid Trump scrutiny

Moses Lin typically has an idea of what his work schedule will look like a year in advance. Lin, 31, is a wedding guitarist in Southern California and says couples typically book his services 12 to 18 months out.Now, some people are booking him with just a few months’ notice. Lin says peoples’ recession fears could be partly to blame.“Because of the uncertainty in the market, there’s a [feeling of] ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen in 18 months,'” Lin tells CNBC Make It of the urgency he feels from couples. “So it’s kind of like, ‘OK we’re good right now. Let’s spend the money and get out and just do it.”“I even get quite a few people that will reach out, and they’ll be like, ‘What are you doing in three weeks?'” he adds. “It’s great, but it’s also a little concerning.”While Lin says the nature of his service allows him to be flexible to be added to events on shorter notice, he hears from wedding planner friends being asked to arrange high-budget weddings within the next three months, that would normally be planned over a longer period.Small business owners like Lin say that even if their services aren’t impacted by tariffs recently announced by the Trump administration directly, consumers’ anxiety about the economy could hit their bottom line.Consumer confidence in the economic outlook fell to a 12-year low in March, according to the Conference Board, notably before the Trump administration unveiled its full tariff policy that sent the stock market reeling and ratcheted up recession fears.Spending now before prices changeFor months now, Lin says he has seen evidence of couples feeling the financial squeeze: more backyard weddings, smaller guest lists, fewer destination weddings, and overall cost-cutting in certain areas to afford the luxury of others.The return to smaller events could be natural following the post-pandemic boom when people rushed to spend money on in-person celebrations again, even while facing record inflation that has since abated, according to CNBC reporting.But new uncertainty in the economy could spell trouble for business.Lin notes that many wedding budget line items could be subject to higher prices in the coming months. Most flowers are imported from other countries, for example, so if a couple’s floral budget skyrockets due to tariffs, “there’s less money in the budget for everything else, and that’s me,” Lin says. “As things get tight, people have to really pick and choose what’s important and what’s not.”Lin, who says he raised his prices this year and charges up to $9,000 to play a local wedding and up to $15,000 for a destination gig, says he hasn’t felt a drop in bookings this season, but that he’s still cautious of what’s to come. He says he recently gave one of his assistants a 25% raise in what he calls a retention move; if there’s a downturn, he hopes the assistant won’t find a higher-paying job that keeps them from being able to work Lin’s wedding gigs.“There’s a lot of concern in the industry,” he says.The average wedding cost $33,000 in 2024, an 18% jump from 2019, according to a report from The Knot and reported by Bloomberg. Following the financial crisis more than 15 years ago, average wedding spending fell 8% over a two-year period to $26,000 in 2010, according to The Knot data.Saving for later when things might be calmerWhile Lin juggles more short-notice requests from financially-anxious couples, another small business owner says she is worrying about delayed timelines.Rebecca Smiley, 28, a travel agent for her company Smiley Travel, says she experienced a recent dip in booking activity during the industry’s so-called “wave season,” when cruise lines offer their best deals and people typically book their spring and summer travel.Becca RuschellRebecca Smiley quit her job as a college admissions counselor to become a travel agent. She booked over $800K in trips in 2024.Travel planners say bookings dropped during this year’s wave season compared to 2024 because of high prices and advanced bookings.Smiley says some clients discussed pushing their upcoming vacation plans out to 2026, which she says could be due to new Trump tariffs and overall recession concerns.Some clients said they needed more time to save for a trip, while others realize “everything’s a little bit more expensive, so we just can’t make it happen this year,” Smiley says.Now in her third year of business, Smiley says it’s typically the time agents like her work on leveling up in their careers, such as by scaling up their clientele or expanding their business.Smiley says she’s putting plans for any big swings on hold.“I’m just mostly not going to take any risks as of right now,” Smiley says. “This has definitely made us think a little bit before we leap, and that’s where people are with their travel, too. They’re looking into things a little bit more, and thinking twice before clicking the ‘book’ button.”Still, not all travelers see uncertainty as cause for caution. Smiley says bookings resumed in the last week or so, especially among younger travelers who may be thinking, “We’ve lived through so many quote-unquote ‘historical events’ and I want to go on my vacation, dang it,” Smiley says.And some economic factors, like a drop in flight prices, could be good for business, Smiley says. Airfares in March were down 5.2% year-over-year, according to a NerdWallet analysis.“That’s one piece of the puzzle that’s that’s a little bit positive,” Smiley says. “People feel a lot better spending more on hotels and other extras than on overly expensive flights.”Smiley’s confidence in consumers’ travel spending fluctuates “day to day, just like everything else with the news right now,” she says. “I’ve heard some agents compare it to Covid. Some people are really getting hit. Other people are trying to ride out that wave.”Wall Street analysts slashed their earnings estimates and price targets for airlines in recent weeks due to fears of slowing demand, CNBC reports, while CEOs have warned of slowing domestic travel demand.Do you want a new career that’s higher-paying, more flexible or fulfilling?

Europe’s last great cheap cities – with £2 beers and lunches for under £5

It feels increasingly hard to find a truly cheap city to travel to for a holiday. In a time when exchange rates were more favourable, and parts of Europe were far less explored, a trip abroad could be reasonably affordable. Coffees cost pennies; food was a bargain. Tapas and a jug of sangria was an indulgence not because of the inevitable financial hit, but because eating patatas bravas in the sunshine felt luxurious.

Netflix maintained its 2025 guidance. That may not be the sign of confidence it seems

Netflix executives said the business has remained stable amid recent economic turmoil. Still, Netflix decline to revise 2025 guidance upward, despite “tracking above the mid-point” of its stated range. Netflix cited its previous history of successfully weathering economic downturns.Netflix executives messaged Thursday that all is well with the business in the face of economic turbulence. But its full-year outlook tells a slightly more nuanced story.Netflix posted a big beat on operating margin for the first quarter, reporting 31.7% compared with the average estimate of 28.5%, according to StreetAccount. And it guided well above analyst estimates for the second quarter — 33.3% against an average estimate of 30%.By its own phrasing, Netflix was “ahead” of its own guidance for the first quarter and is “tracking above the mid-point of our 2025 revenue guidance range.”Still, Netflix declined to alter any of its longer-term projections. That suggests Netflix isn’t quite as confident in its second half.“There’s been no material change to our overall business outlook since our last earnings report,” Netflix wrote in its quarterly note to shareholders.U.S. consumer sentiment is at its second-lowest level since 1952 as President Donald Trump’s new tariff policies roil markets.Co-CEO Greg Peters noted during the company’s earnings conference call that Netflix has, in the past, “been generally quite resilient” to economic slowdowns. Home entertainment provides a cheaper form of leisure than most other activities. A monthly Netflix subscription with ads costs $7.99.But the question remains how — or whether — an economic slowdown would pinch Americans’ wallets and force higher churn among streaming subscriptions.Netflix stopped reporting quarterly subscriber numbers this quarter, so the company will likely not detail if it sees a customer slowdown later this year beyond reporting its underlying revenue and profit.First-quarter revenue of $10.5 billion was roughly in line with analyst expectations, while second-quarter guidance of $11 billion is slightly above.“Retention, that’s stable and strong. We haven’t seen anything significant in plan mix or plan take rate,” said Peters. “Things generally look stable.”

At launch, just four specific skins have color customization. This means you must own the skin in question and then also purchase the color for it. Unfortunately, the colors are tied to these skins and these skins only and are not swappable or usable on different skins in the game. Basically, the colors are costume recolors for a limited number of skins for a price.Here's what there is so far:Luna SnowCostume: Mirae 2099Color: Plasma PulseMagikCostume: PunkchildColor: Rosy ResiliencePsylockeCostume: VengeanceColor: Phantom PurpleWinter SoldierCostume: RevolutionColor: Winter's WrathHow to get Unstable Molecules in Marvel RivalsRight now, Unstable Molecules are only available as a one-to-one conversion from Lattice, which is the premium paid currency in Marvel Rivals. The only way to get new skin recolors (like the Psylocke one above) is to purchase Lattice and then convert it.Each skin recolor costs 600 Unstable Molecules (600 Lattice), which works out to about $6. However, NetEase Games says it will be introducing ways to earn Unstable Molecules in season three, which is set to begin in July.It's unknown yet how Unstable Molecules will be earned, but it's possible that it could be added to the battle pass as part of the rewards track, or as rewards for special missions in the game.This article will be updated with more info on how to get Unstable Molecules once it's revealed closer to season three, but for now, be prepared to shell out some real world currency to swap the colors on the aforementioned skins.The post How to get Unstable Molecules in Marvel Rivals appeared first on Destructoid.

DNA organization offers clues for advancing stem cell therapy

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside, have discovered how adult stem cells retain their regenerative power. The researchers demonstrate in a paper published in the journal Genes & Development that these cells rely on a group of helper proteins called histone chaperones—organizers or guides known to help package our two-meter-long genome when cells need to divide or switch on specific genes.

James Webb Spots Signs of Life on Nearby Planet

Astronomers say they've spotted a possible sign of life in the atmosphere of K2-18b, an exoplanet some 124 light-years away, using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters, the international team of researchers led by University of Cambridge astrophysicist Nikku Madhusudhan says they've detected the molecule dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the planet's atmosphere, which on Earth is only produced by microbes. They suggest that it's possible that K2-18b may be a "Hycean" planet, a portmanteau of the words "hydrogen" and "ocean." It's located in its parent red dwarf star [...]
