Medical tourism comes with risks; the American Medical Association recommends going only to medical facilities recognized by international accrediting bodies and following up testing with care at home. It's unclear, though, how many medical tourists visit accredited facilities, and there's still the question of whether all these tests are useful for someone who is seemingly in good health.

Influencer marketers are moving away from campaigns with micro influencers and back to big stars. AdvertisementA few years ago, influencer marketers were ditching their plans to hire celebrity content creators for brand deals in exchange for influencers with smaller audiences. Micro influencers as a category of work dropped from 74% to 62% between 2023 and 2024, while nano influencer work fell from 37% to 28%. One micro influencer, Bethany Everett-Ratcliffe, said she'd felt this impact on her business. Other marketers have reported up to 20% cost increases among micro influencers between 2023 and 2024.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon said his office is also reviewing possible evidence included in petitions filed by the brothers last year alleging molestation by their father. Joseph “Lyle” Menendez, now 56, and Erik Menendez, now 53, were convicted in 1996 in the shotgun murders of their parents at their Beverly Hills homes seven years before. In their initial trials, the brothers said they had been sexually abused for years by their father. The district attorney's announcement came amid controversy over a new Netflix series about the case, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story." In a statement released by his wife, Erik Menendez said the series contained "blatant lies" and said it was "ruinous" for his brother.

Erik Menendez was 18 and Lyle Menendez was 21 when their parents were fatally shot in 1989. “My hope is that Erik and Lyle Menendez’s life sentences are reconsidered,” Kardashian says. Actor Cooper Koch, who plays Erik Menendez in the Netflix series, joined her. Erik Menendez, now 53, had earlier slammed the Netflix series’ dramatized portrayal of his and his brothers’ lives as “blatant lies” and accused the show’s creator, Ryan Murphy, of purposefully creating a caricature of Lyle Menendez, now 56. Kardashian acknowledged in her essay that the brothers’ crimes “are not excusable” and that neither was their behavior after the murders.

You think you know the story of Lyle and Erik Menendez. Both brothers said they had been sexually, physically and emotionally abused for years by their parents. Soon, the Menendez brothers’ case would continue to play out amid another high-profile murder case prosecuted by the same DA’s office. The prosecutor, having successfully argued to exclude the abuse testimony, mocked the brothers’ defense during his closing arguments for not producing any evidence of abuse. Despite overwhelming family testimony acknowledging the abuse Erik and Lyle suffered, the public remained skeptical.

☆ How plaid became popular for school uniforms

CNN —As students return to school, one patterned textile now synonymous with uniforms will make its seasonal reappearance on pleated skirts, jumpers and ties: plaid. It’s a family of textiles with broad scholarly appeal, with both religious and secular schools worldwide incorporating plaid into uniforms, from Mexico to Japan to Australia. Centuries of romanticizing Highlander clanship and identity has likely influenced our contemporary understanding of the textile, Maxwell noted. But the textile didn’t become a fixture of school uniforms until the 1960s, according to historian and educator Sally Dwyer-McNulty, who authored “Common Threads: A Cultural History of Clothing in American Catholicism” in 2014. (Dwyer-McNulty herself attended two different Catholic schools in Philadelphia, wearing plaid uniforms through high school).
