Intuit is reportedly cutting about 3,000 jobs, or 17% of its workforce, as it restructures around AI and simplifies its corporate organization. TechCrunch reports: The layoffs come during a bad year for the tech workforce. The tech industry has already cut more than 100,000 jobs this year, per Statista, and is on track to outpace both 2024 and 2025 if the layoff trend continues. Companies such as Amazon, Block, Cisco, Cloudflare, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle have let go of thousands of employees each, all of them citing a need to refocus expenditures around AI projects as a reason to cut jobs and restructure their organizations. [...] Intuit, however, hasn't been perceived as a beneficiary of the AI boom, with its shares consistently underperforming in the broader S&P 500 over the past 12 months. The company has been caught up in the broader current of worries that traditional software-as-a-service firms will not be able to keep up or compete, as new and upcoming AI products and services threaten to change how software is developed and how it is used. In its fiscal second quarter ended January, Intuit reported revenue of $4.65 billion, a 17% increase, and net profit of $693 million, a 48% improvement compared to a year earlier. The company expects revenue to increase by about 10% in the third quarter, for which it will report results later today. Read more of this story at Slashdot. View the full article

NFL fans who are even tangentially aware of New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo know exactly what he brings to the table. The soon-to-be second-year sensation burst onto the scene in 2025 and put up quite a rookie campaign before a freak ankle injury cut his season short. He's a gritty, physical runner who plays like a Coke machine rolling downhill, and he inspires his teammates around him with his toughness. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! All of those are great qualities to have in a running back, but what I didn't mention were Skattebo's math skills, and it would appear there is a good reason for that. GIANTS' CAM SKATTEBO DELIGHTS FANS WITH BACKFLIP AFTER TOUCHDOWN VS CHIEFS According to ClutchSports, when speaking with NFL.com's Kevin Patra, Skattebo busted out the mental abacus with a math problem that would make even the nerds up at MIT scratch their heads in bewilderment. "I had 400 yards on 100 carries," Skattebo said, confidently. "When I play 17-plus games this year, it's going to be 300 carries for over 2,000 yards." Hey, look, I'm all for optimism, but I don't think the math works out too well on that one, Cam. Math was never my strong suit, but after crunching the numbers a little bit, if he expects to average the same amount of yards over 300 carries as he did with 100 carries, then he's looking at around 1,200 yards for a full season of work. Not a bad year for an NFL running back in today's era of heavy passing, as over 1,200 yards would have put Skattebo in the top 10 on the league's rushing yards leaderboard in 2025. But that's nowhere near the 2,000-yard projection Skattebo tossed out there, and how he arrived at that number is a question that only he and his brain can answer. Luckily, the Giants didn't draft Skattebo for his arithmetic prowess, and anyone surprised by this probably hasn't been paying attention. Here's hoping Skattebo's ankle heals fully and that he has a great 2026 season where he rushes somewhere between 400 and 2,000 yards. Oh, and don't ask him for any help on your algebra homework.

A truck driver in England was sentenced to more than 13 years in prison after authorities said they found nearly $10 million worth of cocaine hidden inside a shipment of Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS clothing brand. Investigators said the SKIMS shipment itself was legitimate and that neither the exporter nor importer was accused of wrongdoing. Representatives for SKIMS and Kardashian did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment. Jakub Jan Konkel, 40, was sentenced Monday to 13 years and six months in prison following an investigation by the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency, according to the agency. Border Force officers stopped Konkel on Sept. 5 at the Port of Harwich in Essex after he arrived on a ferry from the Hook of Holland in the Netherlands. ALABAMA OFFICER'S MINOR TRAFFIC STOP LEADS TO DISCOVERY OF COCAINE BEING TRAFFICKED BY ILLEGAL ALIENS Authorities said the truck was carrying 28 pallets of SKIMS clothing when officers discovered a concealed compartment built into the rear trailer doors. Investigators said the vehicle had been specially modified to hide the drugs inside the trailer. Inside the hidden compartment were 90 kilogram-sized packages of cocaine with an estimated street value of about $9.6 million, authorities said. Authorities said trafficking groups often hide narcotics inside legitimate commercial shipments to avoid detection. FORMER CBP OFFICER SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS IN PRISON FOR ROLE IN DRUG TRAFFICKING SCHEME AT SOUTHERN BORDER "Organized crime groups use corrupt drivers like Konkel to move Class A drugs often hidden on entirely legitimate loads such as this," NCA Operations Manager Paul Orchard said. Investigators also said Konkel’s vehicle records showed an unexplained 16-minute stop before reaching the port, where authorities allege the drugs were loaded into the truck, with only Konkel and the smuggling group aware of the operation. Konkel initially denied knowing about the cocaine, but later pleaded guilty to drug smuggling, admitting he agreed to transport the drugs in exchange for €4,500, or roughly $5,200, according to the NCA. Orchard said investigators seized "a significant amount of cocaine" and disrupted the criminal group behind the smuggling attempt. Border Force Assistant Director Jason Thorn said the seizure deprived criminal networks of millions in profits. "These drugs destroy lives and inflict misery on our communities," Thorn said.
