Peanut could be described as "Tinder" for moms to meet other moms. Now, the app is out with a new feature to help form meaningful communities around subjects that matter to those moms. Michelle Kennedy is the co-founder and CEO of the app Peanut. She joins Cheddar to explain the new Peanut feature, "Pages." Peanut Pages can help moms come together over issues that matter to them. With pages, moms can help one another find nannys, discuss how to manage cooking for their kids, find groups to work out with, and more. Pages has been live for less than a week. So far, Kennedy says the most popular pages are "motherhood" and "is it okay?..." She says "Money" is also a popular page. Moms are asking questions around maternity leave and if it makes sense to return to work. When asked what is next for Peanuts in terms of advertising, Kennedy says advertising is not important yet. She first wants to focus on growing the userbase and the community on the app.

Starbucks’ Change Flushes Out a Debate Over Public Restroom Access
Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
Trump Highlights Partnership Investing $500 Billion in AI
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
