SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
At what age do you suppose most people finally give up – and, intentionally or not, cut way back on exercise? According to new research, 49 is the age when physical activity markedly declines. Northeastern University researchers looked into existing research, which has shown that it’s hard to maintain a physically active lifestyle as we age. They analyzed the brain scans and activity levels of more than 600 people, and found that physical activity drops off suddenly around age 49 – and the brain is partly to blame. Lead researchers Timothy Morris explained that when you age, the part of the brain that helps control impulses — the “salience network” — changes. So, at a certain point, your brain won’t naturally “inhibit that desire to sit on the sofa.” In other words, there’s no little voice telling you to turn off the TV and “do something”. The keys to staying active into your 50s, he feels, are starting early [because kids who play sports are more likely to be active as adults], and to find “fun” physical activities to take part in as an adult.

James Cameron is set to adapt Joe Abercrombie’s best-selling dark epic fantasy “The Devils.” It’ll be Cameron’s next project after “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” The novel takes place in an alternate medieval Europe threatened by an imminent elvish invasion. And the elves are hungry for human flesh. The novel was published May 6 and was an instant #1 Sunday Times bestseller in the UK. It also just entered the New York Times bestseller list at #5.
Roseanne Barr has made explosive claims about her former employer, ABC, with which she worked for over 10 years. She was abruptly fired for her tweet about former Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett, and in a new interview, she said: “They were waiting for me to slip up.” She claimed the network’s left-leaning executives were already on high alert about her outspoken support for Donald Trump. Quote: “They spied. They monitored everything I did.” She also accused her ABC bosses of hijacking her words about Jarrett.
“Saturday Night Live” went all out this year with its 50th anniversary — and its ratings reflect it. NBC has revealed that Season 50 of the late-night show hit a 3-year ratings high – the most-watched season since Season 47, which ran in 2021-22. Season 50 averaged 8.1M viewers across all platforms, a 12% increase over Season 49. Nielsen said that the show averaged 7.2M viewers last season.
DID YA KNOW!?
Scientists at have created dental floss that can tell if you’re stressed out. Tufts University researchers embedded floss with sensors that can detect cortisol — your body’s primary stress hormone — directly from your saliva during flossing, with laboratory-grade accuracy. Doctors typically measure stress through questionnaires or psych evaluations, but people sometimes inaccurately report their stress levels, or the testing process might increase their anxiety, a phenomenon known as the “white coat effect.” While not yet ready for consumer use, the new technology could one day make stress monitoring as routine as daily flossing.

OF THE DAY
We’ve all been there—sitting through a dull movie, staring out the window during a meeting, or hearing a kid declare, “I’m bored!” Boredom gets a bad rap. We usually see it as something to avoid, like a glitch in the day we need to fix. But what if boredom actually has something valuable to offer? According to a new report, in a world where we’re always rushing, scrolling, or juggling 5 things at once, boredom can be a rare chance to pause. It gives our minds a break from the constant noise and lets us reset. When we’re bored, our thoughts wander, and that space often sparks creativity, self-reflection, or even problem-solving. Experts say that being a little bored now and then can calm our nervous system and help us recharge emotionally. It’s like a quiet invitation to slow down, tune in, and maybe even reconnect with what really matters. So next time you feel bored—try to enjoy it. You might be surprised by what you find there!

WEIRD NEWS
The so-called “Olympics on Steroids”, a sports competition where performance-enhancing drugs are not only allowed — but encouraged, will be held for the first time in May, 2026, in Las Vegas. The sporting event, real name “Enhanced Games”, is being marketed as a showcase designed to remove the stigma of using PEDs, and to “safely” push the limits of human athletic performance. The first-ever competition will feature 8 different events: swimming (50 and 100m races in freestyle and butterfly), track (100m sprint and 100/110m hurdles) and, of course, weightlifting (snatch, clean and jerk). Participating athletes will only be allowed to take substances that are legal in the US, and prescribed by a licensed doctor, such as testosterone, growth hormones, and various anabolic steroids. During the event’s launch, president and founder of the games Aron D’Souza said: “We are here to move humanity forward, the old rules didn’t just hold back athletes, they held back humanity.”
