SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
If you get caught checking yourself out in the mirror, don’t blame your ego – blame your brain! Researchers at Osaka University found that seeing your own face, even subconsciously, activates the brain’s dopamine reward pathway. MRI scans showed stronger activity in this pleasure and reward system when people were shown subliminal images of their own faces compared with strangers’ faces. So, the next time you admire your own reflection, you may not be vain – you may just be giving your brain a little treat!
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Production has been put on hold on the Warner Bros and DC Studios pic “The Batman Part II” due to director Matt Reeves stepping away for personal reasons. The studio released a statement saying: “Production on The Batman Part II has been temporarily paused while Matt Reeves focuses on a family matter.” It also said: “We look forward to continuing the journey soon.” The film is scheduled for release February 18, 2028. Sources say it’s too early to say whether the stoppage will have an effect on the release date.
Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin seem to be ready to return to the land of the wolves. Deadline reports sources as saying that the team are coming back together for “Sicario 3”. The popularity of the series has only grown over the years, and after the 3 stars read the most recent draft, all were on board to return for the third film. The Sicario franchise was created by Taylor Sheridan. The first film in 2015 was a surprise hit, and its sequel, “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” in 2018 saw del Toro and Brolin return. Details surrounding the plot are being kept under wraps.

OF THE DAY
Ever wonder who’s secretly rewatching your Instagram Story? Now, you can pay $3.99 a month to find out. “Instagram Plus” gives subscribers a peek behind the curtain with features like ‘Story Rewatch Count’, which shows how many times someone replayed a Story, plus timestamps for when they viewed it. Users can also preview Stories without appearing on the viewer list, extend Stories beyond 24 hours and check whether a specific person viewed a post. Instagram says the subscription offers more control and ways to connect. Critics argue it could instead fuel social-media obsession by turning every view, replay and timestamp into something to overthink. In other words, Instagram may be monetizing your curiosity…and your paranoia.

WEIRD NEWS
Singapore police charged a man with posting a fake AI-generated picture of a crocodile at the city-state’s largest reservoir, which sparked public concern and an intensive search. 30-year-old Ye Lin was charged with “communicating a false message” and obstructing the course of justice. Cops say he used artificial intelligence to create a picture of a saltwater crocodile. Authorities were later alerted to the possible presence of the predator at the popular jogging and kayaking spot near the city center, and suspended all activities at the reservoir. If convicted, the man faces up to 7 years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
