SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Watching TV may be worse for your brain than sitting at a computer. A team of researchers at University of Southern California followed about 1,700 older adults for 22 years, and found that frequent TV watching was associated with smaller brain volumes, more white matter damage, and poorer cognitive performance. Sitting while working at a computer, meanwhile, was linked to healthier brain measures. Researchers say desk work often involves thinking, planning and problem-solving, while TV is generally more passive. The study doesn’t prove that watching TV causes brain damage, but it suggests that not all sedentary activities affect the brain equally. They say replacing some TV time with exercise, socializing, reading, hobbies or learning new skills could be better for your brain health.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
After years of speculation, and a furious few months of screen tests and dealmaking, Marvel unveiled its “X-Men” cast at D23 on Friday night. The movie will star Sadie Sink, who appears in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” as ‘Jean Grey’, plus Kit Connor (‘Cyclops’), Christopher Abbott (‘Prof. X’), Samara Weaving (‘Emma Frost’), Inde Navarrette (‘Rogue’) and Maya Boyd (‘Storm’). Adam Driver is also among the cast as the villain ‘Mr. Sinister’. The film is set for release on May 5, 2028.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” continued to fly high in its third weekend at the box office, fending off newcomers “The End of Oak Street” and “PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie”. Brand New Day pulled in a projected $67 over the weekend for first place at the domestic box office for the third consecutive time. In a near tie for second place were the dinosaur-centric sci-fi survival feature The End of Oak Street and the new PAW Patrol film, which both took in about $20 million.

OF THE DAY
A box of 97 Nintendo games found in a Wisconsin retro store turned out to be a video-game mystery. The cartridges were unusual, or alternative versions of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt that had never been documented. The stickers, screws, manuals and internal circuit boards were all different from known versions. A date code showed they were made in 1993, two years after the last known manufacture date of the games. Experts suspect they were replacement cartridges or part of an unreleased bundle — but nobody knows for sure.
How much detail should you include in your dating profile bio? Not too little, but not too much, according to new research published in Current Psychology. Across 3 studies, researchers found that profiles with a moderate amount of personal information attracted more interest in long-term relationships than bios that were extremely short or overly detailed. Bare-bones profiles made people seem less socially appealing and more interested in casual hookups, while lengthy bios appeared to lose some of their appeal. A moderate bio was the favorite, chosen 52% of the time, compared with 26% for minimal bios and 22% for highly detailed ones. The researchers say a balanced bio can signal personality and relationship intentions without making strangers feel like they’ve just read your autobiography.

WEIRD NEWS
A New Jersey woman who hit a slot machine jackpot at a Pennsylvania casino was escorted out by police — after officials discovered she had previously placed herself on the state’s self-exclusion list. The 69-year-old signed up for a lifetime ban from casinos in 2019, a program designed to help people struggling with gambling addiction. After confirming her status, police removed her from the property and said a trespassing citation would be filed. Officials did not say whether she was allowed to keep the jackpot.
