REGULATORY SCRUTINYWhile disinformation has spread on all major social media platforms including Facebook and TikTok, X appeared to be the most recent to draw scrutiny from regulators. On Tuesday, European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton warned Musk that X was spreading "illegal content and disinformation," according to a letter Breton posted on X. Musk himself recommended that X users follow two accounts that had previously spread false claims for "real-time" updates on the conflict, the Washington Post reported. False information has also spread on messaging app Telegram and short-form video app TikTok, said DFRLab's Trad.

We hear a lot about how gratitude journals can help foster gratefulness and improve overall well-being, but a twist on the daily practice of journaling can lead us to happiness too, experts say. "One of the exercises that I ask my students to do, to undertake over the course of my class in happiness, is to understand what their pain means," said social scientist Arthur C. Brooks during The Atlantic Festival in September. "I ask them to keep a pain journal," said Brooks who is also a professor who teaches about happiness at Harvard University.

There's a lot of advice out there about how to be happier — from exercising more to practicing gratitude — and it can be difficult to identify just one small change you can make right now to improve your well-being. Thankfully, according to Dr. Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, there is one quick habit you can adopt to increase your happiness, which he shared during The Atlantic Festival in September. The decades-long Harvard happiness study that Waldinger directs found that people who are great at connecting with, and reaching out to, others everyday were the happiest, and were able to be more resilient when facing challenges in life. This skill is often referred to as social fitness, which is the act of consistently reviewing how we pour into our relationships, and improving any imbalances to become better friends and partners.

Syriza was catapulted to power at the height of Greece's debt crisis in 2015, but lost to the conservative New Democracy party in 2019 and in June 2023. Kasselakis replaces Alexis Tsipras, a firebrand leftist whose anti-austerity rhetoric rallied voters around Syriza during the debt crisis. After coming to power, Tsipras was forced to accept a third international bailout and more austerity. Since Kasselakis is not a lawmaker, he will most likely need to appoint a party deputy to lead Syriza's parliamentary group.
