SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Apparently, we’re obsessed these days with…being obsessed with stuff. A new survey found that 64% of us feel that people will obsess over almost anything, from calorie counting and protein-packed foods to GLP-1 drugs and health-tracking apps. Food obsessions mentioned include everything from air frying, zero-sugar drinks, and snack foods advertising themselves as healthy. Proteinmaxxing, fibermaxxing, and analyzing health-tech data were also trends that people have noticed. Many respondents to the poll of 2,000 adults in the US said they’re tired of constantly being told what they should or shouldn’t eat, while 68% believe people would be happier if they just relaxed more about food. The study found many people would rather enjoy snacks, queso and margaritas with friends than chase the latest wellness trend. Some even compared eating their favorite foods guilt-free to life’s greatest pleasures -- including relaxing on a beach, finishing a movie marathon -- and sex.

Zack Snyder has signed on to write and direct a reimagining of “Escape from New York”, the dystopian cult classic from John Carpenter. Plot details for the new film, which was announced by StudioCanal at CinemaCon in April, are under wraps. One of the most influential science-fiction action films ever, Escape from New York introduced viewers to the Kurt Russell’s eyepatch-wearing antihero ‘Snake Plissken’, a Special Forces veteran turned federal convict who is coerced into rescuing the US President from Manhattan, which has been turned into a maximum-security prison.
Sydney Sweeney is leaning into her producing — and potentially directing aspirations. She has formed the production company Honey Trap with longtime creative collaborator Kaylee McGregor. Sweeney is already working with Sony on the TriStar Pictures remake of “Barbarella”, based on the French comic book series from Jean-Claude Forest that was made into the 1968 cult classic film starring Jane Fonda.
Scott Pelley said: “The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable,” hours after being fired from CBS News after almost 40 years at the network. Late Tuesday, the former “CBS Evening News” anchor and “60 Minutes” correspondent added in a scathing parting salvo to CBS News boss Bari Weiss, new 60 Minutes EP Nick Bilton and Paramount CEO David Ellison: “The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.” He claims that the new management instructed him “to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story”

OF THE DAY
According to Psychology Today, crying is an act of maintenance, not a sign of collapse. By letting those tears fall, you are allowing your body to perform the essential work of numbing pain, regulating your nervous system, and restoring a healthy emotional balance.
A doctor says he has the secret to avoiding that daily 3pm energy crash that so many of us experience. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, the bestselling author and host of the health podcast “Feel Better, Live More,” said that your mid-afternoon slump may signal unstable glucose levels. Meals low in protein and fibre can worsen mid-afternoon fatigue and brain fog, according to the good doctor. Instead of relying on caffeine or sugary snacks, he suggests eating protein-rich foods like eggs, fish, or meat, followed by a 10-20-minute walk to help steady blood sugar. Adding water and a handful of nuts can also support steadier energy. Dr Chatterjee also warns that frequent crashes may reflect underlying metabolic issues, and says that many of us overlook diet as the cause of their tiredness.

WEIRD NEWS
A long-dormant proposal for a giant floating city has resurfaced, with backers claiming the vessel could one day carry up to 80,000 people while continuously traveling the world. Known as the Freedom Ship, the mile-long, nuclear-powered concept would function more like a mobile city than a cruise ship, featuring homes for 50,000 residents, accommodations for 10,000 tourists, and a crew of 20,000. Plans include schools, shops, restaurants, parks, museums, a giant sports stadium, water park, and even a tram system to help people get around. Passengers would be transported to and from land by a fleet of ferries, and there would be 8 helipads on top. Ideas for the Freedom Ship were first touted by engineer Norman Nixon in the 1990s, but he died in 2012 and plans went on the backburner. Estimated to cost more than $16 billion, the project remains in the planning stage, with funding still needed before construction can begin.

THE LIST
Many of us are growing increasingly skeptical…of software updates. A survey of 2,000 adults found that 54% believe updates make their devices worse over time. In addition, 62% say operating system updates disrupt how they use their devices. More than three-quarters said they avoid changing anything unless absolutely necessary, and only 20% install updates immediately. Many respondents to the poll (taken in the US) suspect updates are designed to push users toward upgrades or premium features, while others feel they cater to younger generations. Despite those concerns, most people would still install an update if it improved security without significantly changing how their device looks or works.
Here are the top reasons people avoid updating their devices:
1. Forget the update is available
2. Happy with current software and worry the new version will be worse
3. Installation takes too long
4. Fear settings will be reset or changed
5. Concerned updates will add unwanted AI features
6. Not enough storage space
7. Fear the update will slow the device
8. Don’t want to deal with passwords or logins afterward
9. Don’t have time to wait for installation
10. Device is too old to update
