As everyone knows, money often matters during divorce. But despite all the attention paid to financial issues, divorcing spouses frequently commit the same financial blunders.
'People making such mistakes often regret it long term, because they can be irreversible,'' says Bari Weinberger, owner of Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group in Parsippany, N.J.

Gemini now lets you schedule tasks ahead of time
Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini now lets you automate routine tasks with its new scheduled actions feature. You can use it to schedule prompts to perform a task at a specific time, day, date, or after an event. The feature is available in the Gemini app for users with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription and qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans. Google has started rolling out Gemini's scheduled actions feature, which we spotted in a teardown earlier this year. As highlighted in the code strings, the feature allows users to automate routine tasks, similar to the scheduled tasks feature already available in ChatGPT. The scheduled actions feature will be available in the Gemini app starting today. Google says it will let users schedule prompts to perform tasks at a later date, time, or after an event. Users can utilize the feature to automate tasks like getting a summary of their calendar and unread emails every morning, generating five ideas for their blog every Monday, or staying updated on their favorite sports team. In addition to being useful for routine tasks, Gemini's scheduled actions will also come in handy for one-off tasks like getting a summary of an award show the day after it happens. Google adds that Gemini will allow users to transform prompts they're already using into recurring actions or manage existing actions within the new scheduled actions page in settings. Sadly, the scheduled actions feature isn't available for all Gemini users. It is limited to users with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription and qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans. Google may eventually make the feature available on Gemini's free tier, but there's no official confirmation yet. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Escaped zebra named Ed spotted in Tennessee, being tracked via drone by sheriff's deputies
An escaped zebra named Ed has been spotted nearly a week after escaping its owners in Tennessee, officials say. Using a drone, Rutherford County sheriff's deputies saw the zebra in a field near Christiana, about 40 miles southeast of Nashville. They continue to track the animal with the drone, the sheriff's office said. "We don't want to scare the zebra," Sheriff's Cpl. Sean White said. "We need time to get him to calm down." Missing zebra spotted near Christiana Rutherford County Sheriff's deputies observed a missing zebra through a drone camera Friday morning in a field near Christiana. Deputies are tracking the zebra with the drone. Sheriff's Cpl. Sean White has asked people to avoid the area. 'We don't want to scare the zebra,' White said. 'We need time to get him to calm down.' The zebra's owner has been notified. The Sheriff's Office requested help from a veterinarian to respond to rescue the zebra. We will update people when there is more information available. Thanks to Rutherford County Deputy Ryan Bauer for the video. Posted by Rutherford County Sheriff's Office on Friday, June 6, 2025 The zebra was originally brought to the property of the owners, Taylor and Laura Ford of Christiana, Tennessee, on Friday night. But on Saturday, the animal was seen running along a highway. It then escaped into a wooded area, the sheriff's office said. The Ford family originally named the zebra Zeke, but as the public weighed in during the search, they decided to use the name Ed. "Through viral posts, news coverage, and thousands of messages, he became known as Ed the Zebra. And now, he will be forever known as Ed — a symbol of joy, laughter, and unity," the Fords said in a statement. While Ed has caused some excitement online, some are critical of the situation. "The zebra escape in Tennessee is an unfortunate and completely avoidable incident," said Angela Grimes, the CEO of Born Free USA, an animal advocacy nonprofit. "Zebras are wild animals. They do not belong in back yards, kept as pets, or put on display for human entertainment." Grimes warned the escape could cause "a state of severe stress for the zebra, which may result in increased harm to those who come in contact, including officials charged with trying to contain the zebra." The sheriff's office said it has requested help from a veterinarian in any attempt to capture the animal. contributed to this report.

Analysis: Why Trump can't just quit Musk
A few years ago, when Elon Musk was turning heel to people worried about climate change, joining forces with Republicans and breaking up with Democrats, I wrote about how the government couldn't just quit him. It's still true now that Musk is breaking up with President Donald Trump, on whose candidacy Musk spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 million. Musk got a literal golden key to the White House and the opportunity to take a chainsaw to the federal bureaucracy from Trump in exchange for the friendship that campaign coin bought him. The Trump-Musk bromance, which burned hot during the campaign and for the first few months of Trump's second term in the White House, has now experienced what SpaceX might euphemistically call a 'rapid unscheduled disassembly.' Even if Trump all but demands that key back and the relationship can't be put back together again, a permanent divorce would necessarily be messy and drawn out. At one point as they were lobbing shots at each other on their respective social media platforms, Trump suggested canceling Musk's government contracts. Musk suggested not letting NASA use his SpaceX's Dragon Spacecraft. Both have retreated from those suggestions. As I wrote back in 2023: 'NASA needs his rockets. The Pentagon needs his satellites. The government needs for electric vehicles to access his network of chargers. Officials need his social media platform — Twitter, now called X — to communicate with people.' It's all still true, although Trump has no interest in electric vehicles, and a standoff over whether a massive tax bill should continue to incentivize Americans to buy electric vehicles may have contributed to their beef. There are still a growing number of Americans buying electric vehicles, and Tesla's charging network is a part of that infrastructure. If anything, the intervening years have made the government even more dependent on Musk and particularly SpaceX, which not only provides rockets to NASA, but also has the Starlink internet system, which is key to the Pentagon and has been floated as an option to improve coverage for rural America. SpaceX has gotten more than $20 billion in contracts from NASA and the Pentagon, according to CNN's Chris Isidore. Isidore also explains Trump can't just go to another rocket company. Replacing SpaceX on those contracts, however, is not realistic. That's because there is no other company available to replace it. For example, Boeing, the only other company able transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS), had problems on its only crewed flight last year. That required its Starliner spacecraft to return to Earth without two astronauts, who were stranded at the ISS for nine months instead of the planned trip of a handful of days. CNN's Jackie Wattles, who covers space, told me the government's reliance on SpaceX goes much further. 'It's hard to understate how crucial SpaceX's capabilities are for civil and military space endeavors,' Wattles said. 'NASA not only relies solely on SpaceX to get astronauts to and from the International Space Station, the space agency awarded SpaceX nearly $1 billion last year to develop a way to safely drag the ISS out of orbit when it's decommissioned — a move expected to happen in the early 2030s if not sooner.' She ticked off a number of ways in which the US relies on SpaceX: If the US does end up wanting to go to Mars, SpaceX's Starship, which is still in development, is the only vehicle designed for the purpose. The US is paying SpaceX $4 billion for moon landings. It's relying on SpaceX to dispose of the International Space Station in the future. SpaceX carries more payload for the military than any other company. It launches most US spy satellites, and the Pentagon plans to count on Starlink for connectivity. Plus, Starlink is now working on updating the technology the Federal Aviation Administration uses to manage US airspace, something that raised questions about conflicts of interest when it was announced, but now seems like one more thing binding the government to Musk. Musk's companies are at the mercy of federal regulators, as we explored with a look at the ethical minefield created by Musk's involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency. His Neuralink, which aims to implant chips in the brains of humans, will have to deal with the Food and Drug Administration. SpaceX has to deal with the FAA and other agencies. X, formerly Twitter, features in the oversight of the Federal Communications Commission. Tesla has been investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Trump's administration has shown no reluctance to use the cogs of government to go after perceived enemies. Just ask Harvard. But if Trump were to use government to attack Musk, it would be like something out of Vladimir Putin's playbook in Russia, where oligarchs rise and fall based on whether they are in favor with the government. 'Trump can go after (Musk's companies), but then it'll be pretty explicit that's what he's doing,' said the tech journalist Kara Swisher, appearing on CNN's 'The Situation Room' Friday. 'Then he'll look exactly like what people accuse him of, which is an autocrat,' Swisher said. It would hurt the country if Trump did target Musk, she said. In additoin to Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink, she pointed to the importance of Musk's forays into AI. 'We really do need cogent, important guidance on AI as it goes forward,' Swisher said.
