For a family that grew up sharing one Arkansas compound, the Duggars are spreading out fast.
From California to Rhode Island to Texas, several of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s adult children are building lives far from home in the Midwest. Keep scrolling for more:
Jill Duggar Heads to Virginia and Rhode Island
Jill Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, announced via their family’s blog in April 2026 that Derick joined the Marine Corps.
“Derick has joined the Marine Corps! He has been selected for Marine Corps Officer Candidate School (OCS),” Jill wrote, noting Dillard “ships out for active duty” to Virginia later that same month. “Lord willing, he will commission as an officer at the end of OCS and then go on to a couple of other trainings before getting his assignment as a Marine Corps JAG officer.”
Jill and the couple’s three sons — Israel, Samuel and Freddy — plan to follow Derick to the East Coast after his initial training.
“After Derick’s 10 weeks of intense training at OCS, Jill and the kids will move to join him in Virginia, and then Rhode Island for the remainder of his training,” the blog post added.
Derrick, who recently served as an attorney in Arkansas, and Jill briefly relocated to Central America for a volunteer mission. They returned to the United States in 2017.
Jana Duggar Settled in Nebraska
Jana Duggar made her own move out west after marrying Stephen Wissman in August 2024, settling in Wissman’s hometown in Nebraska.
Weeks later, Jana shared YouTube footage of the “fixer-upper” house they renovated. The expansive home was upgraded to feature two floors, five bedrooms and multiple bathrooms across both levels.
“He has a little house we bought that we’ve been fixing up and getting pulled together, and so that’s been fun,” Jana told People in an interview at the time.
Jana and Stephen welcomed their first child, son Archie, in December 2025 after the house was fixed up.
Jinger Duggar’s Life in Los Angeles
Jinger Duggar moved to Laredo, Texas, after marrying Jeremy Vuolo in 2016, and the couple relocated to Los Angeles nearly three years later so Jeremy could pursue further theological training.
Despite the cross-country distance, Jinger has maintained close ties with her parents and siblings. She and Jeremy, with whom she shares three children, traveled back to Arkansas for Christmas 2025 for the first time in almost a decade.
“We have not been back to the Duggar house since we’ve been married in nine years for Christmas,” Jinger said on her podcast in December 2025, explaining that they typically spend the holiday with Jeremy’s relatives. “Throughout the years, we’ve decided, ‘Like, OK, that’s going to be the time that we spend with the Vuolo family over Christmas.’ My family [is] always together a lot, and so it’s easy for us to pop back. We [recently] went back three times in one year for weddings

Justin Duggar Settled in the South
Justin Duggar married Claire Spivey in February 2021, soon planting roots in the bride’s native Texas.
“We’ve decided to settle down in Texas, kind of around Claire’s parents and their hometown,” Justin said in an April 2021 video for TLC. “Something new that I’ve learned about Claire is that she can’t go in the mornings without a cup of hot tea. She always has to have her hot earl grey tea and done a certain way, which I’m figuring out. But, I think it’s cute.”

Days of Our Lives brought Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) doing the slow-burn romance thing for quite a while now. She even used that exact phrase while talking to her mom, Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers). But things are about to heat up to sizzling for Sarah and Brady and their exes are going to hate it.
It’s Belinda from Soap Dirt and Days spoilers hint that Sarah and Brady make love soon. And then there’s going to be some major fallout we expect. Before we dive in though, please hit subscribe if you’re not following.
Sarah and Brady Taking Things Slowly
All right. For many months now, Sarah and Brady have been easing into a sweet relationship. They’ve been taking things very, very slowly. Sarah, though, hasn’t been divorced from Xander Kiriakis Cook (Paul Telfer) for very long, so that makes sense. Meanwhile, Brady has been dealing with one kid crisis after another for both Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) and Tate Black (Jamie Martin Mann). Plus, Sarah keeps super busy as a doctor and a single mom. She’s co-parenting little Victoria with her ex-husband, Xander. And we just had Victoria with that whole pneumonia ordeal where she was in the hospital.
Plus, honestly, Brady’s been very wary of starting anything serious with Sarah because of how Rachel targeted past girlfriends that he dated. And there’s also the fact that Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) insisted that she be allowed to move in with Rachel and Brady for a while.
Days of Our Lives: Rachel Gives Her Approval
So, it’s been complicated for them, but now the path has cleared. First of all, Rachel gave Brady her blessing to date Sarah. Not that that’s really a kid’s place, but you know, Rachel really does like the lady doc and Sarah forgave Rachel for the whole allergy stunt with the pistachio ice cream.
And while Brady and Sarah have shared passionate kisses, the two have yet to go to bed together. Looks like that all is about to change very soon. Especially since Xander was just prodding Sarah about not being intimate with Brady while Sarah knows full well that Xander has been playing hide the salami with sneaky Brit Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien).
Sarah and Brady Take Things To The Next Level
Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest that Sarah and Brady are about to take their relationship to the next level. And even though Xander is shagging Gwen and Kristen’s busy plotting revenge against EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), once those two find out that Sarah and Brady are now intimate, honestly, they may start behaving badly.
We know that Xander and Sarah are always going to love each other. They are soulmates. But Xander’s anger issues and his lies push Sarah to divorce hunky Xander. Now, I do think Sarah’s annoyance about Xander saying he knows she’s still basically hot for him is going to be part of why she beds Brady soon.
And then, of course, there’s Kristen. She thought she was going to pull a fast one on Brady when she basically blackmailed him into letting her move into his new place. Kristen convinced Brady that them living together as a family would help with Rachel’s day in court.
And while Brady made it totally clear, separate bedrooms, no funny business, and strictly short-term, Kristen had other ideas. Remember, she told Gwen once she moved into Brady’s place, he was not going to be able to get her to move out.
Days of Our Lives: Marlena Takes Charge
And initially, Kristen accepted the terms because she wanted to be close to Rachel and of course close enough to try and creep closer to Brady again. But when Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) told the judge that Rachel needed more time in Bayview Psychiatric Hospital, you know, that sent Kristen into an absolute fury and then she surprised Brady when she packed and left. Not that he wanted her to stay, but she did surprise him.
Kristen Wants Revenge
So now Kristen is in a vengeful mood. She wants to see EJ pay. She wants Marlena to pay and she’s also fine with her co-schemer Sophia Choi (Madelyn Kientz) targeting Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) as part of their little plot.
As for Xander, he’s actually working hard to control his temper now that Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) got Maggie’s permission to move into his family home where he’s not allowed to live. And when Xander finds out Brady is probably going to be spending nights at the Kiriakis mansion in Sarah’s bed, I honestly think Xander is going to struggle to keep his temper.
Both he and Kristen consider Sarah and Brady the loves of their lives. And Sarah might agree, but Brady definitely does not. So, we could see Kristen and Xander engaging in some form of retaliation on their exes. I wouldn’t put it past Kristen and Xander or the two of them together to scheme to break up Brady and Sarah. And even though that’s hypocritical of Xander because he’s involved with Gwen, I could see him doing it.
The difference is Sarah and Brady do actually care for each other. Meanwhile, Gwen and Xander are just having fun and they’re blowing off steam. Although all of us know that Gwen would love to be Xander’s girlfriend and not just a friend he’s using for a bit of cheeky fun as Gwen calls it.
Will Xander And Kristen Retaliate?
And now since Xander is trying to be a better man for himself and his daughter Victoria, you know, he may not be a hothead and may not go directly at getting revenge on Brady for being intimate with his ex. And of course Sarah is a grown woman and she and Xander are officially divorced.
So technically, you know, he should butt out, but I could see him prodding Kristen and letting her know that Brady and Xander are sleeping together in case she doesn’t already. That way, Xander could leave Kristen to do damage because of her jealous streak. No way is she going to stand by while Sarah and Brady get even more serious about each other.
Days of Our Lives: Brady Black – Sarah Horton
Days of Our Lives: Xander Juggles
And the other thing is that Xander’s pretty busy right now. He’s trying to save Titan and get Maggie off his case about how he’s doing it. And of the two of them, I think Kristen is way more unhinged and obsessive about Brady than Xander is about Sarah. I mean, Kristen’s been that way for years.
Xander, by comparison, had a healthy and mutually loving relationship with Sarah, but if you recall, Kristen wore a Nicole mask to trick Brady into bed. And that’s how Rachel was conceived. I mean, Kristen is so desperate to have Brady. She was okay with wearing another woman’s face to make it happen. And that is creepy.
Days of Our Lives: Kristen Tricks Brady?
So, I wouldn’t put it past Kristen to wear a Sarah mask to trick Brady again. But she also has a lot on her plate because she is in revenge mode. And Kristen wants to get Rachel out of Bayview and back home. So, I will say there’s a chance Brady and Sarah won’t face any retaliation. You know, I do think Xander may hold his temper in check, but Kristen, she’s the one to worry about. And if there is major fallout for Sarah and Brady, I think Kristen’s the source.
Our leaker told us that Sarah gets a marriage proposal from Brady, but it’s more about getting full custody of Rachel than real matrimony. And the leaker told us a while back that Sarah’s going to reject the proposal and she’s going to have second thoughts about Xander.
They are rumored to have a long road ahead before Sarah officially is back with Xander, which we’ve heard happens in late fall, early winter. But for now, Sarah is moving on with Brady and their relationship turns physical soon. And I guess we’ll see how Kristen and Xander react when they find out and whether these two can behave like adults.
Aaron knows the truth in Emmerdale and he knows exactly who set Moira up and how Robert was involved. Now he is determined to put things right. There is finally a glimmer of hope too, with fresh evidence set to come to light next week that could turn everything on its head.
But there is a devastating twist hanging over it all. Moira is ready to plead guilty, and time may not be on their side.

Robert finally comes clean to Aaron
Friday April 10 saw tensions explode after Robert decided it was time to take Joe Tate down. Teaming up with Ross, the pair attempted to hack into Joe’s laptop, only for Ross to admit he did not actually know the password after all.
Frustrated, Robert sent him packing and carried on alone, but Dawn caught him in the act. When his excuse about checking a feed delivery failed to convince her, she threatened to call the police.
With nowhere left to hide, Robert confessed everything. Dawn then discovered the video of Victoria killing John and watched it herself. It clearly showed self-defence, confirming what viewers already suspected. Shocked, she prepared to confront Joe, while Robert headed home to face Aaron.
Back at home, the truth finally came out. Aaron overheard Ross demanding payment, forcing Robert to admit he had planted the evidence against Moira. The reaction was explosive, with Aaron left furious and unsure if he could ever forgive him.
Later, Dawn told Robert she had deleted the video before cutting ties with Joe completely, taking the kids and heading to stay with Billy. It leaves serious questions over whether their relationship is beyond repair.
Despite everything, Aaron made a surprising decision. He refused to turn Robert in, instead insisting they work together to find proof that could free Moira. But he made it clear their future as a couple is hanging by a thread.

Breakthrough discovery offers hope for Moira
The drama ramps up on Sunday April 12 when Robert visits Bear in prison, pushing him for information that might help Moira’s case. Paddy is furious when he finds out and does not hold back in confronting Robert.
At the same time, Kyle goes missing after learning Moira plans to plead guilty. When Robert finds him, the weight of his actions hits home and he decides he should confess. Aaron convinces him to hold off for one night, a decision that quickly proves crucial.
That same night, Bear calls with a breakthrough, remembering the number plates he hid for Ray. Kammy tracks them to a storage unit in Hotten and Robert and Aaron rush to investigate.
Faced with dozens of identical units, they struggle to find the right one and are close to giving up. Then Marlon steps in, recalling a key he found at Celia’s. It turns out to be exactly what they need, unlocking a unit packed with new evidence.

Can Moira be stopped before it is too late?
While the evidence stacks up, Moira remains determined to plead guilty. Cain is desperate to change her mind, but she refuses to listen, focused only on getting back to her boys as quickly as possible.
When Cain finally gets hold of the new evidence, it becomes a frantic dash to the courtroom. Just as Moira is being led in, he bursts in and shouts the news.
The question now is whether it will be enough to stop her in time. Will Moira rethink her plea, or has the moment already passed? And could this new evidence finally be what saves her?

Bold and the Beautiful has Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) heartbroken because she could not convince her husband Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) to stay with her instead of running off with his sidepiece Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig).
We know that Sheila is absolutely crushed, but she told Deacon that she’s not going to do something that she would regret. So, that means that she’s got to find a way to move on.
We’re going to talk about who Sheila’s next love may be after her failed marriage to Deacon. Before we dig into it though, please hit subscribe if you’re not following us yet.
Sheila and Deacon Split Up
Now, this week, we saw Sheila confront Deacon about his affair with Taylor, and Deacon finally admitted he’s in love with Taylor, and he wants to end his marriage to Sheila. But she wasn’t going to let go easily. She begged him not to dump her, and she reminded Deacon that he made a vow when they got married, the whole till death do us part thing. And Sheila was pushing Deacon to please fight for their marriage.
But he told Sheila he can see she’s changed, you know, which was nice. And Deacon said he’s proud of her and will always want what’s best for her. However, he refused to stay with Sheila because he is in love with Taylor. So Sheila walked away.
Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila Makes a Stand
She left Il Giardino, but she vowed she’d be back and said, “This is not over.” But it is definitely over, at least for now. And as of Friday, Taylor is over at Deacon’s place with his kids, Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Deacon, and they’re talking about whether Sheila is really going to go away quietly.
However, Deacon’s kids are happy they’re together, especially if there’s no ongoing threat. As for Sheila, if she sticks around on B&B, and it looks like she will, she’s going to need a new love interest eventually, or at least a guy to help distract her from the pain of losing Deacon, and we have some ideas of who the lucky or unlucky guy might be.
Dr. James Warwick
So, the first guy to consider is a little blast from the past, Dr. James Warwick. I love Ian Buchanan. Big fan of his over from General Hospital and he was great on Bold. If you remember, he was Sheila’s psychiatrist back in the day and he was actually Taylor’s mentor and she was the one who took his v-card.
I think they were stuck in a blizzard. So, if you don’t remember, James was married to Sheila back in the late ’90s, and they have a daughter together whose name is Mary Warwick, who’s also kind of a nutter. But things got pretty rocky for Sheila and James.
Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila’s Blast from the Past
At one point, Sheila kidnapped James and she held him hostage in her basement. And Sheila nearly killed him with a fireplace poker. She has held James at gunpoint in the past. And Sheila blackmailed James when we last saw him on B&B in 2017 when he had a little return arc.
So Sheila might like to fall back with somebody familiar like James, someone that she doesn’t have to explain herself to like she would a new guy. You know, if Sheila was meeting someone on an app or picking up someone in a bar, her messy history might come up and James already knows it and he’s kind of okay with it.
Bold and the Beautiful: Jack Finnegan
So, a second guy to consider is another past fling, hunky lawyer Jack Finnegan, who she also has a child with. Back when he was married to Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda), if you remember, Jack cheated with Sheila and got her pregnant with Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan). And Sheila was crazy about Jack, but he forced her to leave Finn. And then Li adopted the kid with him. Sheila never got the life she wanted with Jack. He’s another one who got away from Sheila. The reveal of Jack and Sheila’s affair and them being Finn’s bio parents was what wrecked Jack’s marriage to Li.
So, I could see Sheila wanting or considering taking another shot at Jack. And honestly, I would love to see Ted King back to Bold and the Beautiful, somebody else I’m a huge fan of. So, I’d be down for Jack and Sheila to reunite. However, if that was to happen, I think that would end Li and Sheila’s new friendship. And of course, Li is the only friend that Sheila has, so it wouldn’t be a smart move. But I love Ted King.
Bold and the Beautiful: Mike Guthrie
Another guy to consider is Mike Guthrie. He was Sheila’s partner in crime way back in the day and then they brought him back a few years ago. Mike returned in 2022 and he helped Sheila out when she was in jail for shooting Finn and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).
And I think at that point he was a guard. If you recall, Mike was obsessed with Sheila and he helped break her out of prison. And Mike told Sheila that he had feelings for her, which is kind of shocking seeing as she was often just awful, awful to Mike. Back in the day, Sheila even sicced a vicious Doberman on him if you remember.
And after Mike helped Sheila escape from prison, Li caught Sheila, tied her up, and was going to send her back. But then Mike cracked Li over the head and let Sheila go free. And then Mike himself wound up in prison. But at least he got a kiss from Sheila. And then in 2023, Sheila was sent back to prison and Mike was also still a prisoner. He was thrilled to reunite with Sheila, but then she got out. The upside to her rebounding with Mike is that he would be totally devoted to Sheila, which might boost her ego after Deacon left her for another woman.
A Brand New Villain?
Another possibility is, of course, Bold and the Beautiful might bring in a new guy for Sheila. Could be a bad guy, a brand new villain to take her mind off Deacon. And if he’s a baddie, he might tempt Sheila back to the dark side. Right now, it does appear that she’s truly changed, but you never know what can happen. Especially if she has somebody new who’s kind of dark and they’re influencing her. That could be fresh and fun. And if this new guy’s devoted to Sheila, she might run with him while she’s still heartbroken over losing Deacon.
Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila Carter
Will Sheila Ever Give Up On Deacon?
And speaking of him, we got to talk about him as an option because Sheila is never ever going to give up on Deacon. At least not for the foreseeable future. When she left Il Giardino this week, Sheila promised she would be back. And I don’t think she was talking about the pizza or the tiramisu cookies.
She said that she and Deacon are not over. So there is a chance that Sheila may rebound and you know she has this grief over losing her marriage and she gets involved with one of these other guys we talked about but in the back of her mind she’s still plotting a future where she could steal Deacon back from Taylor who as far as Sheila is concerned does not deserve Deacon and doesn’t truly love him.
Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila’s Heart Stuck?
But I could definitely see Sheila using one of these other guys as a temporary distraction. Sort of a band-aid over the wound on her heart. But I think her heart, as dark and bizarre as it is, is always going to belong to Deacon.
And Sheila might always pine for Deacon and hope that they will reunite one day and kind of work towards that goal if she sticks around. And it seems like Sheila might be the one peeping on Taylor and Deacon at the end of this week when they are finally together. I mean, hopefully Sheila won’t obsess and fixate and stalk them constantly, but it could happen.
So, maybe another man is just what Sheila needs to get her mind off of this mess.
Most of those changes are bad, such as Joseph Duggar’s arrest on child molestation charges.
But some of those changes are just downright unexpected — including the news that Derick Dillard has joined the Marine Corps.

Yes, it’s not the most common career move for 37-year-old husbands and fathers, but Derick took the pledge, and he will soon be shipping off to basic training.
News of this surprising development comes courtesy of his Jill Duggar’s blog:
“Derick has joined the Marine Corps!” Jill wrote, adding:
“He has been selected for Marine Corps Officer Candidate School (OCS)!” Jill wrote this week along with a photo (above) of Derick pledging in as his three sons looked on.
“He ships out for active duty to Quantico, VA in a few weeks! Lord willing he will commission as an officer at the end of OCS and then go on to a couple of other trainings before getting his assignment as a Marine Corps JAG officer!
On her sister’s podcast, Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard discussed big changes. (Image Credit: YouTube)
Longtime Duggar fans will recall that Derick worked as a lawyer for several years before leaving his job as a prosecuting attorney/assistant district attorney in Oklahoma.
Now he hopes to become a Marine Corps JAG>
“Becoming a military JAG officer has been something Derick has wanted to do for a long time and he even received a recruiting letter last year from the Marine Corps, but the timing just wasn’t right for our family, and then by the time we were ready, we weren’t sure the opportunity would still be available,”
Judge Advocate General– is “a commissioned officer and qualified attorney who provides legal services, advice, and counsel to Marine Corps commands and personnel.”
He’ll spend 10 weeks at Quantico, Virginia, to attend Marine Corps Officer Candidate School (OSC), after which, Jill and the kids will move to VA to be with him.

At some point, the family will relocate to Rhode Island for additional training.
“After starting the process in early March, we have been surprised how quickly things have come together and the doors that have continued to open, so much so that we can’t deny God is leading us in this direction,” Jill wrote, adding:
“Lord willing, after Derick’s 10 weeks of intense training at OCS, Jill and the kids will move to join him in Virginia, and then Rhode Island for the remainder of his training.
“We’d appreciate your prayers for health and strength for Derick as he prepares for and trains at OCS, and for the rest of us as we survive without him for a bit and prepare for new family transitions!”
For all the Duggars’ patriotism, Derick is the first member of the family to join the military.
Interestingly, as The Ashley’s Reality Roundup reports, none of the Duggars has commented on Jill’s posts announcing Derick’s new gig.
But to be fair, they have other things on their minds these days.
Not every game needs high stakes or fast reflexes. Sometimes, it’s enough to slow things down, settle into a quiet corner of the world, and lose yourself in something a little more personal. Tiny Bookshop arrives on Xbox, PlayStation and Game Pass with exactly that kind of energy, offering a gentle, story-driven experience built around books, people and place.
Available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC – and included day one on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass – this cosy management adventure invites you to leave everything behind and start fresh in a seaside town that feels full of character. There’s Play Anywhere support too.
If you loved Unpacking, or adored the likes of A Short Hike, this one should well be for you.

A Fresh Start In Bookstonbury
Tiny Bookshop places you in the heart of Bookstonbury-by-the-Sea, a charming town where your new life begins with a small, second-hand bookshop. From the outset, the focus is clear. You’re not building an empire, you’re creating a space. A place where people can browse, discover and connect through stories.
Running your shop involves more than simply stocking shelves. Every decision shapes how your bookshop feels and how customers respond to it. You’ll choose which genres to stock, recommend titles to visitors and gradually learn what each person is looking for. Sometimes it’s about giving them exactly what they want, other times it’s about introducing them to something new.
That balance is where the game finds its rhythm. And it’s a near perfect balance too. We were smitten by Tiny Bookshop last year when we picked it up on Nintendo Switch, but this Xbox and Game Pass launch has dragged us back in all over again. We urge you to give our review of Tiny Bookshop on Xbox a read – it details the magic of this little game perfectly.
A Space That Reflects You
From there, customisation plays a big role in how your shop evolves.
You can decorate with plants, lighting, trinkets and more, creating anything from a bright, welcoming space to something a little moodier and atmospheric. These choices aren’t just cosmetic either – they influence how customers behave and what kind of interactions you’ll have.
It turns your shop into something that feels genuinely personal.
However, the people of Bookstonbury are just as important as the books themselves. As you spend time in the town, you’ll meet a cast of quirky, friendly characters, each with their own tastes, habits and stories. Building relationships opens up new opportunities, helping you understand the community and your place within it.
A Proven Cozy Hit Comes To Game Pass
Tiny Bookshop has already built a strong following, earning overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam and finding success on Nintendo Switch.
Now, with its arrival on Xbox and inclusion in Game Pass, it’s easier than ever to jump in and see what makes it special without any upfront cost.
That accessibility feels like a perfect fit for a game built around taking your time and enjoying the journey, especially as it lands with that Play Anywhere support too.
A Story Worth Settling Into
Tiny Bookshop is less like a game you complete and more like a place you spend time in. It’s about routine, connection and finding comfort in the everyday.
And now, thanks to its launch on Xbox and Game Pass, that quiet little bookshop by the sea is open to everyone.
Interested? Get yourself over to the Xbox Store. £16.74 is the price if you don’t have Game Pass.
San Francisco police arrested a suspect after an incendiary device was thrown at the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Officers later detained the same individual near OpenAI’s headquarters after he allegedly threatened to burn down the building.
No one was injured, and police say the investigation remains ongoing.
San Francisco police arrested a suspect early Friday after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
According to a report by NBC News, police responded to Altman’s home in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood around 4:12 a.m. PT after receiving a report of a fire. Investigators said an unknown man threw an incendiary device, causing a fire on an exterior gate before fleeing the scene.
Police described the device as a Molotov cocktail or similar incendiary device. Officers later detained the suspect near OpenAI’s headquarters after he allegedly threatened to burn down the building.
When officers arrived, they recognized the individual as the same suspect from the earlier incident and detained him. According to reports, the police did not name the suspect but described them as a 20-year-old man. Authorities said charges are still pending and the case remains an active investigation.
“Early this morning, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman’s home and also made threats at our San Francisco headquarters,” an OpenAI spokesperson told Decrypt. “Thankfully, no one was hurt. We deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe.”
OpenAI is assisting law enforcement with their investigation, they added.
The attack comes amid a rise in threats tied to artificial intelligence development, including a recent case in Indiana where shots were fired into the home of a city council member who supported building a data center, with a note left at the scene reading, “No data centers.”
Altman has not publicly commented on the incident, and authorities said the investigation remains ongoing.
The incident follows another security scare in November reported by Wired, in which OpenAI locked down its San Francisco offices after receiving a violent threat linked to an anti-AI activist who had previously visited the company’s facilities and was suspected of planning harm against employees.

nFuse, an AI-powered B2B ordering platform, founded jointly with Appolica, has raised an investment from two of Central and Eastern Europe’s most active venture funds Eleven Ventures and LAUNCHub to accelerate expansion across Europe, the US, and emerging markets. The company enables CPG retailers to place orders and helps CPG companies personalise promotional and new product communication – through SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, and other messaging apps they already use, via text, voice, or photos – without downloading a new app, logging into a portal, or changing how they operate.
The funding arrives at a critical inflection point for the CPG industry. Energy costs and oil supply disruptions now ripple through up to a third of the CPG value chain – hitting manufacturing, packaging, warehousing, and last-mile distribution simultaneously. At the same time, CPG companies face pressure from the other direction: weakening consumer confidence and declining disposable incomes are compressing top-line growth across key markets. Caught between rising operational costs and slowing revenue, the industry can no longer afford to run its most basic commercial process – reordering – the human effort-led way.
The $5 Trillion Channel That Digital Solutions Keep Failing
Fragmented trade – the network of independent shops, kiosks, restaurants, and HoReCa operators that dominate commerce across emerging markets – represents over $5 trillion in annual value. In regions such as CESEE, Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, these outlets account for the majority of FMCG sales. For CPG companies already navigating margin compression, this channel is both the largest growth opportunity and the most expensive to serve through traditional means.
Despite more than a decade of investment in B2B eCommerce platforms, adoption in fragmented trade hovers around 15%. Industry analysts estimate 80–95% of B2B eCommerce projects underperform or fail outright. The platforms work technically. The retailers ignore them.
“The fundamental assumption was wrong. The industry built eB2B for headquarters – for the people who wanted dashboards and data. Not for the retailer standing behind a counter who just needs to reorder beer before the weekend rush.” – Stoyan Ivanov, Co-Founder and CEO, nFuse
The Fix: Meet Retailers Where They Already Are
nFuse was founded on a different observation. Across all markets, small retailers are already running their businesses through messaging apps – sending voice notes, photos of empty shelves, and handwritten lists via SMS, WhatsApp, or whatever app they use daily. nFuse turns that existing behavior into a confirmed order in seconds.
No new app. No login. No training required. The results are materially different from what traditional platforms deliver: 70%+ retailer adoption with enterprise clients, versus an industry average of 10–15%. Revenue per outlet increases 15–30%. Deployment takes a month, not a year. Cost per order targets below $1 – a 5x to 20x reduction compared to traditional rep-based or call center ordering. For CPG brands under margin pressure, that cost delta is no longer just an efficiency gain. It is a route to profitability on outlets that were previously too expensive to serve.
For brands managing distribution at scale, the model also changes the economics of reaching the long tail. Retailers who previously reordered monthly – when a sales rep happened to visit – now reorder weekly. New SKU launches reach outlets faster. And with every transaction flowing through a single channel, real-time demand signals become available across the entire network.
“These retailers aren’t technology-averse. They’re using technology constantly. Just not the technology we kept trying to give them. They don’t want another app. They want to order the same way they message their family.” – Stefan Radov, Co-Founder and COO, nFuse
Investor Perspective
“Stoyan and Stefan know the FMCG industry inside out and have set out an ambitious task to solve the broken model of B2B e-commerce solutions. Instead of asking retailers to change their behaviour, the advancements in AI has opened a new frontier of intelligent solutions that speak their language via the channels they usually use. This unlocks enormous opportunities for brands, as the tail of the market can now be served efficiently and at scale.” – Ivaylo Simov, Partner, Eleven Ventures
“The B2B eCommerce graveyard is full of platforms that worked technically but failed commercially. Most portals force unnatural behavior – buyers do not want to click through SKUs and quantities. nFuse makes ordering natural again via voice, text, or image, just like speaking or texting to a sales rep. With 30 years in distribution, the founders have seen exactly where adoption fails. We backed the insight as much as the product.” – Rumen Iliev, Partner, LAUNCHub Ventures
What Comes Next
The funding will support nFuse’s expansion across Europe, with plans extending into broader EMEA and Americas markets. The company currently serves category leaders in beverages, beer, snacks, frozen food, modern nicotine, dairy, pet food, and wholesale distribution, validating the model across FMCG verticals.
Beyond ordering, nFuse is building toward payments and predictive demand intelligence – letting retailers pay through the same messaging thread where they place orders, and using aggregated shelf data to generate real-time supply signals for brands.
“The industry spent a decade trying to get retailers to come to us. We’re just going to where they already are.” – Stoyan Ivanov, Co-Founder and CEO, nFuse

It’s been quite a wait for new Starfield content, but the day has finally arrived for those of you who have been eagerly wanting more Settled Systems exploration.
The Terran Armada DLC brings with it a new robot army to take on, additional story beats, and a bunch of new gear to pick up.
Let’s get into how you can start the experience, so you can get to unearthing what this new, dangerous threat is all about.
How to start Terran Armada DLC in Starfield
As you might have expected, since it is DLC content, you can’t just boot up a fresh Starfield save and get right into the Terran Armada action.
However, what is good is that to actually make it to the entry point, you don’t have to jump through about a thousand hoops.
Instead, all you need to have access to is Akila City, Akila, within the Cheyenne System. This should unlock pretty quickly after talking with the Constellation group, extremely early in the main story, so if you’ve dug into Starfield even a little bit, you’re good to go.
Once you’re at Akila City, just go pretty straight from the spawn point, toward a larger building. There should be a couple of sets of stairs for you to climb, leading to the left where a bunch of people will be gathered.
As soon as you get there, you should get a New Mission notification for Attack of the Terran Armada, requiring you to listen to the SSNN broadcast. Just stick around where you are, and you’ll get a waypoint for the Nirvana System, ready for your first real task of the DLC.
Because of the Free Lanes update, which is also out in the wild on PS5, you can take your time getting there, too, thanks to the revamped travel system, instead of just looking at a loading screen.
