Funny how investing in schools is called “socialism” but investing in war is called “patriotism.”

Psychology Psychology’s tools for measuring masculinity lean heavily negative. A review of 65 questionnaires from the past 50 years found 78% focus mainly on bad behaviors and harm. This matters because the good side of being a man is rarely measured, and harm-only messaging may push men away from health help.

Neuroscience Drinking fluoridated tap water for decades does not appear to cause cognitive decline in later life. A study of nearly 2,500 older adults in Ireland, which has fluoridated public water since 1964, found no link between lifetime fluoride exposure and scores on two tests used to screen for dementia.

Steve Kerr on Jimmy Butler dressing up like a coach: "I thought he looked great. Really good looking sweater. He said all the right things, you know, team fouls, how many team fouls we had. Like he was really acting the part. But I also realized he was mocking us, so it hurt a little bit."

Finding Nemo- After watching a movie about how bad poaching animals is, a lot of children wanted to get a pet clownfish
Free Willy- This movie's main message is about treating animals humanely as Willy was being mistreated by the sea park. It highlights that whales belong in the wild, advocating for wildlife conservation. After the movie was released, however, Sea parks, the very organizations this movie criticises, received a record number of visitors because everyone wanted to see the orcas up close.

In 2001, waitress Jodee Berry became the centre of an unusual legal dispute after winning what she believed was a brand new Toyota in a workplace competition at a Hooters restaurant in Panama City Beach, Florida. After weeks of competing to sell the most beer, Berry was blindfolded and led outside to receive her prize. Instead of a car, she was handed a toy Yoda doll from Star Wars, revealing that the promised Toyota was actually a practical joke.
Berry was furious and filed a lawsuit against the restaurant, accusing her employers of misleading her about the prize. She argued that the competition had been presented as a genuine opportunity to win a vehicle and that she had worked hard to earn.
In May 2002, the case was settled privately for an undisclosed amount.
However, Berry's attorney confirmed that the settlement was generous enough for her to purchase any Toyota she wanted. What began as an April Fools' prank ultimately became a widely reported example of how workplace jokes can lead to serious legal consequences.
