THE “FIT TEENS LIVE LONGER” MYTH JUST GOT BUSTED

A massive study of 1.1 million Swedish dudes just crushed the myth that fit teens automatically live longer.

Researchers found that fit guys were just as likely to avoid random accidents—like car crashes—as they were heart disease.

So unless sit-ups stop falling pianos now, something’s fishy.

Turns out stuff like family money, genes, and luck may be behind those “live longer if you exercise” claims.

So yeah, fitness helps—but it’s not magic.

ORANGE CATS SHOULDN'T EXIST

Turns out orange cats owe their color to a missing chunk of DNA that flips their fur from dark to Cheeto-mode.

Researchers found a 5,100-letter deletion on the X chromosome that makes a gene go rogue, turning off black pigment and blasting orange instead.

That same gene also explains why almost all calico and tortoiseshell cats are female—because female cats get two X chromosomes to play mix-n-match with.

Plot twist: every orange cat today probably descends from one ancient spicy feline.

ROBOT CARS GO TO DRIVING SCHOOL

MIT just dropped a full-on fake city so robot cars can practice driving without turning into flaming wrecks.

The cars are learning how to stop at lights, dodge crashes, and basically act like they’ve passed driver’s ed—unlike half the people on real roads.

If they pull it off, these little nerdmobiles might replace human drivers altogether.

đŸ‡čđŸ‡ŒđŸ‡šđŸ‡ł MYSTERY FLAG ON TAIWAN BEACH: COAST GUARD NOT AMUSED

Taiwan’s about to celebrate a year under President Lai, and China’s acting like that one salty ex who can’t let go.

First, 2 guys from China showed up in a rubber boat like it was a beach day gone rogue.

Then a mystery man posted a video planting a Chinese flag on a Taiwan beach
 and bounced.

The video got deleted, but Taiwan’s coast guard says this could be China trolling hard with “political warfare.”

đŸ‡šđŸ‡łđŸ‡§đŸ‡· BIRD FLU HITS BRAZIL—NOW CHINA DECIDES WHAT’S NEXT

China, which gets half its chicken from Brazil, just hit pause on imports.

If the outbreak spreads, Brazil could lose up to 20% of its chicken exports. That’s a major poultry problem.

But officials are hoping China takes a chill pill and limits the ban to just the one affected state—like Japan, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia already did.

With Brazil’s president on good terms with Xi Jinping, they’re crossing their wings for a diplomatic save.

If not? The U.S. is circling, ready to fill China’s chicken bucket. Because trade drama and bird flu don’t take weekends off.

A 26-year-old just got 14 months behind bars for breaking into the U.S.

SEC’s official X account and posting fake news to make Bitcoin spike.

He used a sneaky trick called a SIM swap to steal someone’s phone number, then reset the SEC’s password like it was his Netflix login.

The fake post claimed Bitcoin got approved by the government.

Prices jumped, and then crashed when everyone realized it was a lie.

Feds? Not amused.

đŸ‡ș🇾 MICROSOFT WANTS AI BOTS TO FORM GROUP CHATS

In the latest, development of a potential AI takeover, Microsoft's cooking up a future where AI bots from different companies can actually talk to each other.

The idea is that the bots will recall what you told them last week, like they're an old classmate you said hi to at the local supermarket.

They're learning to remember with a new trick called “structured retrieval,” aka taking smart little notes so they don’t have to scroll their entire brain every time.

🇩đŸ‡ș AUSSIE COURT FIGHT OVER “WHAT IS A WOMAN?” JUST GOT MESSIER

Roxanne Tickle, a trans woman, sued a women-only app for kicking her out—and won.

But now she wants more money and a stronger ruling.

The app’s founder says “nope” and is trying to get the whole thing thrown out.

Now both sides are heading to a bigger court with more judges, more lawyers, and way more drama.

Why care? If Tickle wins big, other women-only spaces—like the Fernwood gym that denied a trans woman—could be forced to let trans women in.

COKE IN GLASS JUST HITS DIFFERENT, HERE'S WHY

There’s a reason Coke in a glass bottle feels like a whole different drink—because it is.

Glass is chemically inert, meaning it won’t absorb or release anything into your soda.

Unlike plastic (which can leak chemicals) or cans (which have flavor-sucking linings), glass keeps Coke tasting exactly as it was meant to.

It also holds carbonation better. That means your Coke stays fizzier, longer.

No sad, flat soda halfway through.

Add in the iconic design, zero risk of weird chemical aftertaste, and an overall “cleaner” mouthfeel—and yeah, Coke in glass wins every time.

SAM ALTMAN PROMISED TO SHARE AGI WITH THE WORLD—NOW HE'S CASHING IN

5 years ago, Sam Altman told investors OpenAI wouldn’t chase profit.

No business model. Just build AGI, ask it how to make money, and take 0.001% of the value while sharing the rest with humanity.

Now? OpenAI is a for-profit powerhouse, with closed models, soaring prices, and a CEO accused of lying to his board, hiding ownership stakes, and retaliating against critics.

One former board member says execs even accused him of “psychological abuse”—and shared proof.

When the board tried to fire him, he came back with a full-blown employee revolt fueled by fear.

Meanwhile, open-source rivals like China’s DeepSeek are offering faster, cheaper, and more transparent AI.

If this is the AI revolution, Altman turned it into a monopoly wrapped in broken promises.

Americans were inches away from mass censorship, thought-policing, and a full corporate-state takeover of speech, culture, and control.

The plan? Run Biden, hide his condition, then hand over power to Kamala.

All while trying to jail—or eliminate—Trump.

The resistance held. The plan cracked. But the threat still lingers.

Tyrants don’t disappear—they wait.

Trump’s “No Tax on Tips” plan just got a step closer to reality.

It includes a plan to let waiters, bartenders, and other tipped workers keep every penny of their tips, tax-free.

The bill also makes Trump’s old tax cuts permanent, boosts defense and border spending, and trims social programs (but not till after 2029).

STARTUP WANTS TO PAY BOTS $1M TO STEAL YOUR JOB

A company called Firecrawl is trying (again) to hire AI bots as employees.

Yep—actual bots.

1 to write blogs, 1 to do customer support, and 1 to code.

Salary? $5K a month. No snacks, no sleep, just endless work.

The catch? The perfect AI worker doesn’t exist yet, so they’re also hiring humans to build and babysit the bots.

The $1M budget covers both.

The goal? Humans managing armies of bots like tech overlords.

Until the bots get smart enough to stop asking for help.

Good luck with that.

đŸ‡”đŸ‡č PORTUGAL PICKS A WINNER, BUT STILL NO MAJORITY

The center-right won the election
 but not by enough to actually run the country.

So, Prime Minister Luis Montenegro is back where he started: in charge, but without the power to do much.

Meanwhile, the right-wing Chega party and the old-school Socialists tied for second.

Chega’s boss says they “made history”—and he might even pass the Socialists once all the votes roll in.

Montenegro won’t team up with Chega, and no one else wants to play nice either.

So it's back to deal-making chaos while big stuff like lithium mining and selling the national airline sits in limbo.
