Kevin Baillie, a Netflix VP, lost his $1.1M job after telling colleagues at a retreat about his doctor-supervised ketamine therapy for grief. Free alcohol and a CEO bartender were fine; a legal prescription got him fired. Work retreats are still work. Don’t forget the fine print.

A Democratic congressman says pausing data centers is handing AI over to China. But for many voters, the debate is about power bills and water, not patriotism. The proposed data center is three miles down the road.

Peter Thiel’s kids get an hour and a half of screens per week. The average American kid gets seven and a half hours a day. The people building the attention economy are running a quiet experiment at home—and it's not the one they sell.

In Naples, a 10-year-old girl weighs 60kg. Her parents see a cough, not the weight. The doctor says they're good parents who don't grasp diet and weight. Yet 40% of kids here are overweight. The children aren't hiding it. The adults have stopped seeing.

A search for the mushroom that makes people see tiny humans led scientists to four new species. Two were already sitting in museum collections, waiting for DNA to reveal them. The real trip: discovery hiding in plain sight.

Homeowners, especially women, increasingly refuse to share their space. And cohabitation without marriage now beats marriage as the preferred goal. That’s shifting housing demand from single-family homes to rentals where keys stay separate.

A 13-year study of 4,000 people found only fruit and fiber consistently linked to lower depression odds. Extra fruit (one large apple) tied to 17% lower odds; extra fiber (a serving of beans) to 15%. We break down the simple daily swap.

Salvatore is 17 and too heavy for surgery. Italy now treats childhood obesity as a chronic disease, and Campania is testing a fasting diet on teenagers. The debate: how much risk should the state take on a child's body?

Flock Safety used live video of kids at a JCC pool and gym as a sales demo for police. Then they didn't apologize—they turned the outrage into a lesson for clients. This is not a PR misstep; it's the product.

A small fraction of bad trips could determine the future of Oregon’s legal psilocybin experiment. With facilitators lacking clinical training and ERs unprepared for psychedelic crises, the real test isn’t the 92% who benefit—it’s the 1.2% who don’t.

Of 16 dietary factors, only fruit and fiber were linked to lower odds of recurring depression. An extra 228g of fruit (an apple and a half) to 17% lower odds; an extra 7.4g of fiber (a bowl of oatmeal) to 15% lower odds. Yet we fund pills, not fruit. This study asks why.

Instagram's 'You're all caught up' message used to be a natural stopping point. It disappeared—removed to keep revenue rising through infinite scroll. Bringing it back wouldn't fix everything, but it would give millions a clear off-ramp before the algorithm takes over.

Oregon’s psilocybin program has already served over 20,000 adults—no diagnosis, no prescription. New data: severe depression fell by more than half. This isn’t medicine, it’s a business model that could upend the antidepressant market.

California’s attorney-general calls the Meta trial its ‘tobacco moment’—not necessarily because Instagram is addictive, but because the case hinges on whether Meta misled the public about harm to kids. The real threat? Court-ordered changes to features like infinite scroll.

A widely shared study says single adults prefer cohabitation over marriage. But behind the shift in values, many are following the money: marriage tax penalties, lost alimony, and housing risk make marriage a financial risk.

Flock cameras can search for vehicles by bumper sticker, union logo, or even a school mascot. Not a license plate. Plain English. That changes what it means to speak in public.

Amazon's ad business is making nearly a billion dollars a week in profit. That money doesn't come from thin air—it comes from the price of everything you buy, even off Amazon. A single search ad can force stores everywhere to charge you more.

Over 10 firms pay up to $100,000 a month to get Trump’s Truth Social posts before the public. That turns presidential announcements into a premium data feed for high-frequency traders. Is this the America we signed up for?

Dayton and Evanston tried to drop Flock cameras but couldn’t remove them—so they covered them with garbage bags. The exit clause proved more important than the cameras. When surveillance tech is hard to switch off, the real hardware is the off switch.

“Not my children” hits differently when the president’s own social media company can charge Wall Street up to $100,000 a month for faster access to his posts.
The words are public. The head start is a family asset.

Last month, 50 fake teenage accounts sailed through Australia's social media ban without a single age check. Meanwhile, tech billionaires are restricting their own kids' screen time. What does that tell us about the real safety debate?

Meta could be fined nearly $200 billion, but investors fear something else: forced design changes that limit engagement. If infinite scroll disappears, so do ad views. The real risk isn't a one-time bill—it's a product that stops feeding ad revenue.

Dayton, Ohio covered its Flock cameras with garbage bags. That's just one of 70+ wins by neighborhoods who refused a network of 100,000 AI cameras tracking their every move. Here's the three-step playbook they used—and you can copy it tonight.
