SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Think your coworkers are paying attention during virtual meetings? They might be whipping up lunch instead! A survey of more than 2,000 workers (in the US) found that 17% have cooked during a work meeting…with their cameras off. Among Gen Z, that jumps to 26%. Other off-camera activities include using the restroom (23%), online shopping (14%), exercising (13%) and even falling asleep (12%). Among Gen Z, 30% admitted to snoozing through meetings. Experts say multitasking becomes a problem when employees can’t contribute to discussions. They also suggest companies rethink lengthy, unnecessary meetings, which may be encouraging workers to find ways to make that time more productive.

David Spade and Dana Carvey are calling out Hollywood’s focus on race and gender. In a recent episode of their podcast, the comedians questioned Hollywood’s emphasis on race and gender, with Spade arguing that the industry should “stop separating us like that” by highlighting those distinctions. Spade pointed out that he saw an awards show clip recently, where they pointed out it was “the first (time) in 30 years to have a Black actor win this.” Spade said: “If you just say we’re all actors…we’re all just the same. We’re all acting.” Carvey then joked that when he won his Emmy, it was announced that he was the “198th straight white male that has won this award.”
Sacha Baron Cohen is revealing the Hollywood stars whose work he most admires. The “Borat” star named Dustin Hoffman and the late Robin Williams as the 2 people who have made him emotional with their films. He said of Hoffman’s “Kramer vs. Kramer”: “First time I saw that, man, I was crying.” He watched it again recently, and realized again “what an incredible actor” Hoffman is. Cohen didn’t name which of Williams’ movies is his favorite. The late actor was famed for starring in 1997’s “Good Will Hunting”, 1993’s “Mrs. Doubtfire” and voicing the genie in 1992’s “Aladdin”.

OF THE DAY
A new GLP-1 weight-loss drug could be the strongest, and fastest-acting one yet. “Retatrutide” is being developed as the next generation of medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, and early studies suggest it could help people lose up to 28% of their body weight over 2 years. Unlike existing drugs, it targets 3 hormones involved in appetite, blood sugar and metabolism. So far, digestive problems are among the most common side effects, with researchers also monitoring heart rate, muscle loss and bone density. The drug is in the final phase of clinical trials but has not yet been approved for general use.
Here’s a little advice for those days when you’d rather tell the world to take a hike: Try smiling! Research suggests that even the simple act of turning that frown upside down may help improve your mood, reduce stress and make you seem friendlier. Scientists say smiling can influence brain chemicals linked to positive feelings and may help lower the body’s stress response. But there’s a catch: the smile needs to feel genuine. Forcing people to grin on command can backfire. So, the next time you’re feeling down, try cracking a smile. It might not solve your problems, but it could help you feel a little better.

WEIRD NEWS
Japan has turned catching some Z’s into a competitive sport! Dozens of sleep-deprived participants recently took part in Tokyo’s “Matt Race,” a mattress company’s contest to see who could fall asleep the fastest and enjoy the deepest nap. Competitors wore sleep-tracking devices and had up to 90 minutes to snooze, with the winner taking home more than $14,000. Japan ranks among the world’s most sleep-deprived nations, with long workdays and commutes blamed for the problem. The winner, who goes by “Suimii”, said she plans to use the prize money toward moving out on her own — and buying a bed fit for a princess.
