F1 driver Valtteri Bottas is supporting men's health research with his "Bottass" calendar. According to Reuters, after selling more than 10,000 calendars, Bottas raised about $150,000 for the Movember charity. On the last day of Movember, Bottas posted a photo to his Instagram thanking his followers for their support. "I think with men as well, like Movember, focusing on men's health, many people are quite afraid of speaking about those kinds of things," Bottas told Speedcafe. "She doesn't really understand English that well, and she had seen some videos I had posted," he told Speedcafe.

As we all know, slang evolves at the speed of light. In light of this, please just stick to the slang you know and understand. Let's just start with this understanding — if you're not in late middle school or high school, you're probably behind on the current slang. I didn't know enough of the slang used to know whether the video used the words correctly. Arguably, using slang terms you don't fully understand ages you more.

Planets beyond our solar system have a size gap, where worlds seem to shrink past a certain range. Scientists think this is because some sub-Neptunes shrink — losing their atmospheres and speeding through the size gap until they are as small as a super-Earth. AdvertisementThe planets themselves may be pushing their atmospheres awayShrinking exoplanets may lack the mass (and therefore the gravity) to hold their atmospheres close. AdvertisementThe other hypothesis, called photoevaporation, says that a planet's atmosphere is dissipated by the radiation of its host star. AdvertisementThe scientists found that most of the planets there retained their atmosphere, making the core-powered mass loss a more likely cause of eventual atmosphere loss.

A blackout of internet and phone services is now occurring across Gaza. The services have collapsed due to a lack of fuel in the area, says the main telecom provider. Israel refuses to let fuel into Gaza to repair the services, leaving their recovery uncertain. Israeli troops for a second day searched Al Shifa Hospital in the north for traces of Hamas. Lack of fuel brought down the internet and phone network, and it can't be restarted unless Israel lets in fuel, said Palnet, the main Palestinian telecoms provider.

On TikTok, about a third of the content we watched were ads — but it didn't always feel that way. Other users have complained on the site that they are receiving ads "all over their FYP" or ads "every 6 videos." We focused solely on TikTok videos and slideshows and excluded TikTok stories and TikTok livestreams — even streams that were explicitly there to sell products, like QVC. The key difference is that you scroll past a TikTok ad. Kristen Schiele, a USC Marshall School of Business professor, told Insider we could see an increased ad volume since advertisers push more ad content around the holiday season.

Journalist José Jaime Maussan again testified extraterrestrials were real to Mexico's congress. The trial is the second concerning UFOs or extraterrestrials to happen in Mexico's congress.
