SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
People with stronger focus may actually pay less attention to social media posts once they follow someone. A new study found that highly-focused people tend to treat social media like an external hard drive: instead of reading and engaging with posts, they scroll on by, relying on the connection to find the information later, if needed. Researchers discovered that after following a person or group, people remembered less of the content – but more about who was connected to whom. The effect was strongest in people with higher working memory, suggesting it’s a strategic shortcut, not simple distraction or laziness.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
When "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" airs its final episode on CBS on May 21, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" will be dark. Kimmel has confirmed that his ABC show will not produce a new episode for that night, out of deference to Colbert’s sendoff. It’s a gesture with precedent. Kimmel made the same call in 2015, when David Letterman signed off from the Late Show, opting not to compete against the final broadcast of one of his comedy heroes.
Dave Coulier is responding to fans who have pointed out his changing appearance following a battle with both cancer and lymphoma. In an IG video, the 66-year-old told fans that he has lost 45 pounds, because he’s been unable to eat solid food “for months”, a result of “side effects of extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat.” Coulier said that has affected his ability to speak, as some fans had pointed out. The good news? He said his “prognosis looks good” for both the cancer in his throat and the lymphoma.
Stephen Graham and company made history for “Adolescence” at the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday, with Netflix’s manosphere hit winning 4 awards for the first time ever. Graham won in the coveted Leading Actor category at his eighth attempt to win a BAFTA across TV and film. It was an incredible award season run for Adolescence, which won Emmys, Golden Globes and Broadcasting Press Guild Awards. It also won 2 at last month’s BAFTA Craft Awards.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Ford Motor Company has a secretive team working to reinvent its assembly line for a $30,000 electric truck that’s as fast as a Mustang. Mixing Silicon Valley engineers with industry outsiders, the group is chasing an ambitious goal: build an electric pickup that can go 0 to 60mph in under 5 seconds. Utilizing overnights for secrecy, the bold effort reflects a race to compete with fast-moving EV makers – especially those in China. The new Ford truck is expected next year.
Hacky sacks, once linked to ’90s stoner culture, are suddenly a huge hit with Gen Z teens. High school and college students are forming clubs, creating ironic TikTok accounts, and playing daily in gyms, cafeterias, and schoolyards. The trend exploded a few weeks ago, especially in the US Northeast, with stores quickly selling out of footbags. Unlike the laid-back stereotype of the past, today’s players are often sporty preppy teens. Parents are loving the comeback too, saying it gets kids outside, off their phones, and spending more time socializing face-to-face. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/5exkm9nx

WEIRD NEWS
First they gave us K-pop, now this? A new beauty trend is taking off in South Korea: “elf ears.” Clinics are seeing growing demand for cosmetic procedures and special tape designed to make ears stick out more prominently, creating the illusion of a smaller, slimmer face - a highly prized look in East Asia. Some patients are getting quick filler injections costing about $70, while others use inexpensive ear tape popularized online by K-pop stars and influencers. Searches for “ear filler” have surged, and some surgeons say they now perform dozens of elf-ear procedures a day. The trend reflects South Korea’s ever-evolving beauty industry, where cosmetic clinics constantly search for the next viral enhancement after years of focus on jawlines, noses and eyes.
