☆ Willing to Die for MrBeast (and $5 Million)
  + stars: | 2024-08-02 | by ( Madison Malone Kircher | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Better known online as MrBeast, Mr. Donaldson, 26, has made a name for himself as a benevolent YouTube star who has racked up hundreds of millions of subscribers for his provocative brand of philanthropy, like the time he paid for 1,000 people to receive cataract surgery. The resulting eight-minute video was hyperbolically titled “1,000 Blind People See for the First Time.”Extravagant prizes have become his calling card. Usually it comes with a dark twist: Once, he offered a man $10,000 a day for each day he was willing to live in a grocery story without leaving. In his most popular video, “$456,000 Squid Game in Real Life!,” 456 people competed in a game show inspired by the dystopian Netflix drama “Squid Game.” (In the Netflix show, down-and-out contestants play deadly versions of children’s games to win $38 million.) Familiar with MrBeast’s content and with the lengths to which those who appear in his videos must go in order to win, many expected outlandish and even potentially risky challenges.

☆ Fact-Checking Biden’s and Trump’s Claims on Domestic Policy
  + stars: | 2024-06-27 | by ( Linda Qiu | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump will face off Thursday night for the first time in four years, giving each ample opportunity to fling accusations about the other’s positions. Mr. Trump has portrayed the country, hyperbolically, under Mr. Biden as lawless. Mr. Biden has sometimes omitted context while describing Mr. Trump’s views on abortion rights and the Affordable Care Act. Mr. Trump misrepresented abortion laws and crime levels across the country. What Was Said“It’s hard to believe they have some states passing legislation where you can execute the baby after birth.”— Mr. Trump in an interview on Fox News in June

☆ Opinion: Does marijuana cause psychosis? The answer is complicated
  + stars: | 2024-02-08 | by ( Opinion David L. Nathan | Peter Grinspoon | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
Still, the question remains: Does cannabis truly cause psychosis and related diseases such as schizophrenia — or is this another overblown claim? It is especially important for us, as doctors, to untangle whether cannabis actually causes psychosis. Still, of all the drugs associated with this uncommon kind of psychosis, cannabis is the most common culprit. CBD products should only be purchased from reputable companies that test their products through independent labs and share the results. We shouldn’t jump to the conclusion that cannabis causes psychosis, but anyone who plans to use cannabis should know their personal risk factors and exercise caution accordingly.

☆ The Crochet Coral Reef Keeps Spawning, Hyperbolically
  + stars: | 2024-01-15 | by ( Siobhan Roberts | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Last year, this natural spectacle coincided with the woolly propagation of two new colonies of the Crochet Coral Reef, a long-running craft-science collaborative artwork now inhabiting the Schlossmuseum in Linz, Austria, and the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. The project also explores mathematical themes, since many living reef organisms biologically approximate the quirky curvature of hyperbolic geometry. By contrast, the surface of a sphere displays constant positive curvature; at all points, the surface bends inward toward itself. And a hyperbolic plane exhibits constant negative curvature; at all points, the surface curves away from itself. Reef life thrives on hyperbolism, so to speak; the curvy surface structure of coral maximizes nutrient intake, and nudibranchs propel through water with frilly flanges.

☆ When couples say they broke up over money, it's not the real reason, therapist says. Here's what is
  + stars: | 2023-05-25 | by ( Annie Nova | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Guralnik is the star of the Showtime documentary series "Couples Therapy," in which she analyzes real patients in a room with hidden cameras. While financial issues can spark intense conflict for couples, Guralnik doesn't believe money, or the lack of it, is the real reason they split up. "If you're refusing to look at your bank account when you're pulling out your credit card, you can accrue debt," Guralnik said. People are "shielding themselves from knowing reality" when they refuse to pay attention to their finances, Guralnik said. Two people in a relationship can have vastly different attitudes about money, Guralnik said.

☆ Conservatives love to blame America's housing crisis on Democrats. An economist explains the true reason behind it and why it extends beyond political parties.
  + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( Paul Constant | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
He recently spoke with economist and author Jenny Schuetz about the housing crisis. Pundits love to blame permissive social policies for the disrepair that they highlight, but the truth is that rural America — including many red areas — is facing the same problems of skyrocketing crime, housing costs, and homelessness. Schuetz said that a true solution to our housing crisis requires the passage of policy solutions at the federal, state, and local level. An overly regulated market and a broken tax codeBringing housing costs down and home supply up starts with stripping power from zoning boards. When the majority of homeowners and homebuyers treat housing as the foundation of their wealth, as opposed to one of the most basic human needs, the housing market behaves more like an investment market.
