This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250530651954/en/
Grindr's Right Now feature.
Right Now is a real-time feed—separate from the app's main grid that displays profiles—where Grindr users can post text and share photos displayed for one hour, letting other like-minded users know exactly what they're looking for.
'Right Now empowers our users to find exactly what they want, when they want it – without the guesswork,' said AJ Balance, Chief Product Officer at Grindr. 'We built this intention-based feature based on feedback from our community so they can connect with like-minded people without wasting time on mismatched expectations. The response to our initial March launch was so strong we accelerated the global rollout ahead of schedule because it's clear people want this… well, right now.'
Following successful pilots in Australia and Washington, D.C., and regional expansions in early 2025, Right Now is now available to all users globally on iOS and Android. Right Now can be accessed directly from a new entry button on the main grid, through the bottom navigation bar, or from the profile side drawer of the app, leading to a dedicated feed optimized for immediate engagement.
At launch, depending on their location, people will receive a number of free hour-long Right Now sessions per week (refreshed every Friday), with the option to purchase more sessions after using their complimentary ones.
Explore our product roadmap for a closer look at the new features coming to Grindr in 2025.

ROSEN, RECOGNIZED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages NET Power Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – NPWR, NPWR.WS
NEW YORK, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of NET Power Inc. (NYSE: NPWR, between June 9, 2023 and March 7, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important June 17, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased NET Power securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the NET Power class action, go to call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 17, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) NET Power was unlikely to complete Project Permian (NET Power's efforts to develop its first utility-scale plant) on schedule, and the project was likely to be significantly more expensive than defendants had represented, because of, inter alia, supply chain issues and numerous site- and region-specific challenges; (2) accordingly, defendants' projections regarding the time and capital needed to complete Project Permian were unrealistic; (3) the increased time and capital needed to complete Project Permian were likely to have a significant negative impact on NET Power's business and financial results; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. To join the NET Power class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ——————————- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq. The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. 275 Madison Avenue, 40th Floor New York, NY 10016 Tel: (212) 686-1060 Toll Free: (866) 767-3653 Fax: (212) 202-3827 [email protected]

Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) Appoints Rodrigo Brumana As CFO
Joby Aviation recently marked a pivotal achievement with the successful dual aircraft flight, underscoring advancements in its eVTOL technology. This, coupled with the appointment of Rodrigo Brumana as CFO, aligns with Joby's strategic growth efforts. Despite a net loss of USD 82 million reported in its Q1 2025 earnings, the company's share price increased by 21% over the last quarter. This surge in stock value places JOBY's performance well above the general market's 1.7% rise over the past seven days and reflects investor confidence amid its ongoing partnerships and technological milestones. We've spotted 5 weaknesses for Joby Aviation you should be aware of, and 1 of them is a bit unpleasant. We've found 19 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Joby Aviation's shares delivered a total return of 60.57% over the past year, significantly outperforming both the US market's 11.6% and the US Airlines industry's 16.6% returns in the same period. This reflects robust investor enthusiasm despite the company's current unprofitable status and ambitious growth goals. The company's recent releases, such as the dual aircraft flight and partnerships with industry leaders, could potentially drive revenue growth forecasts, albeit with prevailing profitability challenges. Analysts expect revenue to grow at a substantial rate of 65.5% annually, though Joby remains forecasted to be unprofitable for the next three years. These developments indicate a strong market presence, although maintaining investor confidence will depend on meeting or exceeding these growth expectations. Despite the market optimism reflected in the share price surge, the current price is slightly higher than the consensus analyst target of US$7.75, suggesting limited upside based on current estimates. The recent insider selling may also influence perceptions of valuation risks ahead. As Joby continues its technological advancements and expansions, investors will likely monitor execution risks closely.

Google Maps lets you customize your car icon on Android and iOS — here's how to do it
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When you're driving around on Google Maps, whether you're an Android or iPhone user, you'll always be represented on the map with the boring default arrow icon. But what if I told you that it doesn't have to be that way? Because you can change the look of your avatar, and Google's just released a bunch of new options. In the past Google only offered 3 alternate options, 3 colorful vehicles to mix up your navigation screen. Now, though, Google's updated Google Maps to offer 5 more options — each available in one of 8 colors. Though it isn't quite so easy to figure out how. Here's how to customize your car icon in Google Maps on Android and iOS. (Image: © Future) The first thing you need to do is start navigation. It doesn't matter where to, or if you even plan to go, just find a location with the search bar, then tap Start. (Image: © Future) The arrow icon in the center of the screen is your user icon, and the next step is to tap it. It may sometimes appear as a large white dot with a blue center (Image: © Future) You'll then see a pop-up menu showing off different icons you can use — including the arrow and a bunch of different cars. Simply scroll left and right until you find the avatar you like, and tap it. (Image: © Future) Once you've picked your car, you'll need to select a color. The default is white, but there are 7 other options for you to choose from. Then tap Done Just be warned that the original 3 car icons, which can be found at the far right, are only available in a single color. There you have it, your Google Maps icon is now a fetch new ride that looks a heck of a lot more interesting than the boring 2D arrow that you had before. Just remember that you can go back anytime to mix things up, and pick up a brand new driving icon to accompany you. Be sure to check out some of our other Google Maps tutorials to help you get the most out of your drive. You can learn how to use Google Maps Immersive View, how to see real time traffic information and how to calibrate Google Maps for more accurate GPS signal.
