SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
No big surprise here, but a new survey says that getting kids to eat a healthy breakfast before school is a daily struggle for many parents. A University of Michigan poll found that 3 out of 4 parents face at least one breakfast barrier, with picky eating topping the list at 44%. Another 33% say their kids are slow or grumpy in the morning, while 30% simply don’t have enough time. About 1 in 3 has 15 minutes or less to eat. And while most kids do eat breakfast, fewer than half regularly get protein, fiber or fruit. Pediatrician Dr. Susan Woolford says breakfast doesn’t have to be perfect - small changes, like adding fruit or peanut butter to toast, can make it healthier. And if getting your child to eat breakfast is a challenge, letting them pick from a number of nutritious options might help.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has finally been dethroned after a 6-week domestic box office streak at #1, falling to Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman’s mystical sequel, “Practical Magic 2.” The dramedy is estimated to have pulled in about $30 million, good enough for a first-place finish. The original “Practical Magic” bombed in 1998, opening to just $13 million. Spidey fell to 4th place with a weekend haul of about $8.5 billion, also behind “Runner” and “The Odyssey”. The other major newcomer, the historical drama “The Uprising,” opened in 9th place, taking in just a projected $3.1 million.
The 2026 Emmys honored a long list of TV legends during their “In Memoriam”, but several familiar names were noticeably missing, including Chuck Norris, Daveigh Chase, Nicholas Brendon and more. Norris, who passed away in March, had a decades-long TV career and was best-known for his 9-season action series “Walker, Texas Ranger” — leaving fans shocked he was left out of the tribute. Also missing were “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” star Nicholas Brendon and “The Ring” star Daveigh Chase. The tribute did honor several big names lost over the past year, including Dolly Parton, Hayden Panettiere, Catherine O’Hara and Rob Reiner.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Do you find yourself constantly checking your phone…just because? Happiness expert and author Arthur Brooks suggests creating a few tech-free periods each day to break the habit: the first hour after waking up, during meals and the final hour before bed. Reaching for your phone first thing may trigger a spike in stress hormones, while screen time at night can make it harder to fall asleep. During meals, Brooks recommends putting the phone away and focusing on conversation and eye contact instead. That face-to-face connection can boost oxytocin, helping strengthen relationships and make meals more meaningful.
Got an itchy mosquito bite? Cover it with a piece of tape. Pediatric allergist Dr. Zachary Rubin says a bite triggers your immune system to release histamine, causing that maddening itch. The tape creates “sensory mechanical interference,” activating nerves that can temporarily interrupt the itch signal reaching your brain. It can also keep you from scratching, which only makes things worse. For longer-lasting relief, Rubin recommends a cold compress and 1% hydrocortisone cream. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/2sujz9n6

WEIRD NEWS
Want to disappear from AI surveillance? You might just need the world’s ugliest Hawaiian shirt. German designer Simon Weckert has created “Digital Camouflage,” a colorful, chaotic, hideous-looking shirt pattern designed to confuse AI-powered cameras and prevent them from recognizing the wearer as a person. The pattern was developed using an AI “adversarial loop,” repeatedly testing and adjusting the design until detection systems became less confident they were looking at a human. Ironically, the shirt itself was designed with the help of AI. While people see a loud, almost hypnotic pattern, AI systems can effectively see… nothing. It’s camouflage for the digital age – and possibly the worst-dressed way to achieve privacy. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/26nd97uw

THE LIST
CURRENT WORK CULTURE BUZZWORDS ON LINKEDIN:
It’s
true: We can’t go a single quarter without new hiring jargon
emerging that makes you ask: “Why do we need a whole phrase for
this?” Here are this quarter’s work culture buzzwords…
Job-hugging: Sticking with the job you already have instead of jumping ship. It’s less a trend than a reaction to economic uncertainty and a cooler job market – basically the workplace version of “I’m not leaving!”
Lily-padding: Moving from job to job, sometimes across completely different industries, to build up a wide range of skills and experience. The idea is to eventually use that experience to land a better, more senior position – and hopefully stay there.
Career catfishing: When someone isn’t completely honest about a job – and it can happen on either side of the hiring process. Applicants might exaggerate their qualifications or accept a job and never show up — while employers might oversell the job, benefits or company culture.
Doomjobbing: The job-search equivalent of doomscrolling: endlessly firing off applications, often without much thought about whether the jobs are actually a good fit. It can provide a dopamine hit from feeling productive, but hundreds of random applications may be less effective and more discouraging than putting real effort into a few good ones.
