SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Almost everyone has a secret, but not all secrets weigh equally on the mind. A study found that “shameful” secrets are more mentally consuming than “guilty ones”. Researchers surveyed 1,000 people, asking how often they thought about their secrets, as well as whether those secrets made them feel shame (“I am worthless and small”), or guilt (“I feel regret about something I have done”). People were found to dwell much longer about “shameful” things than things they felt “guilty” about. The study’s authors advise reframing such feelings: rather than letting them define you, see them as a chance to change.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
After nearly a decade, the moms of Monterey are ready to reunite for Season 3 of “Big Little Lies”. Reese Witherspoon, who exec-produces and stars as ‘Madeline Mackenzie’ in the HBO drama, has given an update on the show’s long-awaited return, telling Jimmy Fallon: “They’re writing it. It’s exciting too, just to get the gang back together and have everybody start talking about it.” She pointed out that it’s been “about 10 years” since Season 2, “And all those little kids [who] were in second grade, they’re all teenagers now. And being a mom of a teenager, it is a lot of big little lies.”
Bowen Yang has revealed that “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels told him his work on the show is not yet done before he renewed his contract for Season 51. Yang said that he has “always gone by the instinct of, do I have more to do? And I feel like I do”, and “Lorne and I talked about it and Lorne was like, ‘You have more to do.” Yang said he felt that “the audience is maybe getting sick” of him, but Michaels “was like, ‘That’s not true. There’s more for you to do. I need you.’” Of the show, Yang said: “I love working there, the people are the best. I really love each of them so much.”
DID YA KNOW!?
There might be a cure for 'evil'. Well, a cure for psychopathy, anyway. Psychologists argue that aspects of psychopathy can be 'cured' by cognitive behavioral therapy, which is said to reduce violent offenses by those with the condition. Preliminary research suggests that computer-based cognitive training could help a psychopath experience empathy and regret, too.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
A study found that using Facebook has actually changed how our brains work.
Why do pro athletes have to spit so much? As you might know, spitting and sports go hand in hand — even when leagues try to stop it. In 2020, Major League Baseball briefly banned spitting during the pandemic, but players compared it to banning eye black or sunflower seeds. As Justin Turner put it, “Spitting for baseball players is like blinking.” And the habit stretches beyond baseball: soccer players, runners, hockey players, and boxers all spit during play. Why? Science offers a reason: Exercise increases sticky saliva, dehydration makes it worse, and over time, athletes become conditioned to do it without even thinking. And here’s the interesting part: Spitting even offers a strange performance edge. Studies show that “carb rinsing” – that’s swishing a sports drink and spitting it out — can trick the brain into feeling energized. But there’s a catch: Be sure to aim carefully. Case in point: The Eagles’ Jalen Carter’s recent ejection for spitting near the Cowboys’ Dak Prescott.

WEIRD NEWS
Connecticut emergency crews had an unexpectedly slippery Saturday when a 40-year-old man found himself trapped in the twisty confines of a playground tube slide. Vernon’s firefighters, EMS, and police rushed to Northeast Elementary School just after 4:30pm for what the fire department called a “confined space rescue.” Eyewitnesses reported the man wedged mid-slide, feet and head first, his body somehow folded sideways at the waist — like a human pretzel caught in plastic. Temperatures inside the slide soared, prompting rescuers to use ventilation equipment to keep him cool as they carefully worked to free him. Photos show a bizarre scene of bright plastic, bent limbs, and heroic crews working to undo what playground physics had done. His slide adventure had clearly gone very, very sideways.
