SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
It turns out that many published studies in top science journals…just don’t hold up. A review of 110 studies from top economics and political science journals found that while most results can be reproduced, about 1 in 4 papers contain coding errors. Independent researchers matched original findings roughly 85% of the time, but deeper checks showed some conclusions don’t hold under different analyses. More experienced reviewers uncovered even more flaws, suggesting the real error rate may be higher. The good news: better data-sharing and replication efforts are helping catch mistakes – but many journals still don’t require them.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Brooke Hogan is speaking out about Netflix’s new series on her father, saying the project leaves out the reality of who Hulk Hogan was behind the spotlight. A week after “Hulk Hogan: Real American” debuted, Brooke explained why she chose not to participate, and why she believes it doesn’t tell the full story. She called the series “a beautiful showcase piece” but said it’s “missing 98% of real life”, and “It didn’t talk nearly about the underbelly of the beast.” Brooke appears only in archival footage in the 4-part doc.
Whitney Cummings is entering the “Marriage Market”. The comedian will host the dating unscripted series that sees singles ready for marriage relinquish total control of their love lives to their closest family members. Cummings will welcome singles, who are officially over swiping, ghosting, and endless first dates, into an actual ‘Marriage Market’, where they’re up for trying something radical: putting their love lives in the hands of family members that know them best, and risking it all for one shot at forever – in an arranged marriage. The series will launch as part of Fox’s 2026/27 broadcast season.
Lox Pratt will play ‘Draco Malfoy’ in the new HBO “Harry Potter” TV series. Tom Felton, who originated the role in the movies, recently said that he’d gotten in touch with Pratt and offered him some advice. Among his tips was to “steal as many props as you can.” Pratt says he took his predecessor’s words to heart, saying: “Yeah, I probably can’t reveal how many props I’ve taken.” The Harry Potter TV show is slated to premiere this Christmas on HBO.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Ask.com, formerly known as “Ask Jeeves” quietly shut down on May 1st, marking the final chapter for one of the internet’s most recognizable early search brands. The beloved butler Jeeves actually hung up his 3-piece suit in 2005, the result of a rebrand. Now, owner IAC says it’s exiting the search business entirely. In a farewell note, the company added, “Jeeves’ spirit endures.” After decades online, it seems the butler is finally off duty – for good.
Screenless fitness trackers are becoming a thing, and Google is joining the hot trend with the new Fitbit Air, its first display-free wearable. The just-announced $100 device launches May 26, and focuses on health tracking for those who have no desire to stare at (or charge) yet another screen. Features include sleep tracking, blood-oxygen monitoring, and irregular heart-rate alerts. Without a screen and physical buttons, the Fitbit uses haptic feedback for an alarm clock feature and a small light indicates battery life. The device can go about a week in between charges. It comes in 4 colors: obsidian, fog, lavender and berry. Google also introduced a revamped Google Health app, formerly the Fitbit app, plus an optional $100-a-year AI health coach powered by Gemini. The move targets rivals like Whoop and Oura, and may have a pricing edge, as demand for fitness trackers and smart rings continues to surge. https://amzn.to/4dr3yrf
