SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Your Facebook posts may reveal more about your personality than you think. A new German study found that AI can analyze people’s status updates and estimate where they fall on the “Dark Triad” personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism (manipulation), and psychopathy. Yup, AI can tell if you’re a psycho. Or a narcissist. Researchers tested 7 machine-learning models using Facebook posts from 266 adults, along with personality quiz results. No single AI model proved reliably better or worse than the others, but all were able to predict dark personality traits, with language proving far more revealing than age or gender. Researchers say posts containing words tied to emotions, actions, and perception were especially telling. They caution the technology is still experimental and raises significant privacy and ethical concerns if used to judge people in real-world settings.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“The Daily Show” is on a hot streak. Comedy Central‘s late-night satirical talk show scored its highest-rated Q2 in the key 18-49 demo in 9 years, led by Jon Stewart‘s Monday night episodes, according to new data from Paramount Skydance. The Daily Show recently received Emmy nominations, including for Outstanding Variety Series. In all, the franchise has earned 110 total nominations over its run. Stewart’s episodes saw a 21% uptick, while news team Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, and Desi Lydic also delivered significant year-over-year growth.
Netflix is officially passing go on its reality competition series based on iconic board game Monopoly. The streamer has greenlit the series, and has set a $2 million grand prize. Netflix has kicked off casting on the series, which is set to premiere next year. 12 contestants will compete on a life-sized, “fully realized” Monopoly Town Square. To survive, they must accumulate everything, or lose it all. The logline says: “Every negotiation, every decision, and every roll could mean the difference between building an empire and going directly to jail. One by one, bankrupt players are eliminated — until a single winner is left standing to take it all.”
This summer, a new sexy teen murder mystery arrives August 5th on FX. The network has dropped the trailer for “The Shards”, a thriller based on “American Psycho” novelist Bret Easton Ellis’s 2023 book of the same name. Set in 1981, the Ryan Murphy-produced series follows a group of wealthy Los Angeles teens whose world of privilege is thrown into chaos when a murderer stalks the city. But…could the killer be one of their own? Newcomer Homer Gere, son of Richard Gere portrays new student ‘Robert Mallory’, while Kaia Gerber, the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, also stars. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/37rpbmvy

OF THE DAY
People are using an unexpected household item to freshen up stained mattresses: shaving cream. The viral cleaning hack has exploded on social media, and cleaning experts say there’s actually some science behind it. Plain white foaming shaving cream contains many of the same cleaning ingredients found in upholstery stain removers, making it effective on common protein and oil-based stains like sweat, body oils, fresh blood, and urine. To use it, gently work the foam into the stain, let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes, then blot it away with a damp cloth, followed by a vinegar-and-water solution. Experts stress that the mattress must be allowed to dry completely to prevent mold from developing. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mrz5u5sa
For years, we’ve heard about the so-called “lottery curse”. That’s the idea that winning a big jackpot is more likely to ruin your life than improve it. But a new investigation suggests that’s mostly fiction. USA Today tracked down 31 people who won at least $50 million in Powerball jackpots between 2012 and 2016, and found that nearly all are still doing well a decade later. Only 2 experienced the lawsuits, scandals or financial disasters often associated with lottery winners. Most have settled into comfortable lives, buying nicer homes, supporting charities, or quietly giving back to their communities — suggesting the infamous “lottery curse” may be more urban legend than reality.

WEIRD NEWS
Weight-loss drugs may be shrinking waistlines, but they’re also creating demand for a surprising new cosmetic treatment: injectable fat from…cadavers. A product called alloClae uses processed donor fat (from…yep, dead people) to restore volume to areas like the breasts, buttocks and face, without surgery or lengthy recovery. More than 2,000 patients have received the body-contouring treatment, though some have experienced complications. Supporters say it’s a convenient alternative to traditional fat grafting, while critics question the ethics of profiting from donated human tissue. As popularity grows, experts say long-term safety data is still limited, and debates over regulation, consent and body donation are only beginning.

8 years ago I went to a lesbian
bar where they passed out free oysters and when a girl leaned in to
kiss me I was like "ooh no sorry I'd need an epipen for that"
and I am still haunted by the possibility that I crushed this girl's
self-esteem when I'm just allergic to shellfish
