1. The debate schedule is getting a little crowded. Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz posted yesterday on X that he has accepted an invitation from “CBS News” to debate Republican candidate JD Vance on October 1st. Vance did not respond to a reporter's question about whether he would participate in the debate. When asked if he would participate, he replied, “I strongly suspect I will be there on October 1st.”
2. As if there was enough confusion on the internet already, by joining X you can gain access to the chatbot “Grok” and add even more confusion with a new image generator. Subscribers have already flooded social media with pictures of former President Barack Obama taking cocaine and presidential candidates pointing guns.
3. We often joke that getting older means the “check engine light” comes on, but there's actually a science behind it. Recent studies have revealed that humans undergo rapid biological changes between the ages of 44 and 60, during which thousands of molecules and microorganisms experience their greatest increases or decreases, leading to changes in cardiovascular health and immune function.
4. The vinyl revival seems to be here to stay, and now Gen Z is trying to maintain that vintage feel by bringing back music on cassette tapes. The problem is, many of them don't know how to play a cassette, and find the whole process confusing.
5. Imagine getting arrested at an all-you-can-eat Applebee's. That's exactly what happened in Indiana. A woman was arrested at an Applebee's in Portage, Indiana, after an argument over the “all you can eat” option. She thought she could share food at the same table, but the manager told her the plan was “one order per person, no sharing.” When she was told she would have to pay $15.99 for each person she wanted to share with, she became upset and made a scene, was arrested for disturbing the peace, and sent to jail. Not a good place in the neighborhood.
It's a trend.
