Centered around a young couple and their desire for a family, music critic Bob, is struggling with a demotion, addicted to Zoloft and trying to wrangle the menagerie of animals that his wife Amy has accumulated. They face a crossroads. Will adopting a baby cure their existential angst? Or should they rescue another duck?

Being at the top end of the income scale doesn’t necessarily mean you’re much smarter than the average person, according to a new study. And ever MORE interestingly, those in the top 1% of the earnings scale score lower in cognitive ability tests than those earning slightly less. Swedish researchers based their findings on data from 60,000 Swedish men who completed a military conscription test aged 18 or 19. They found no evidence that those with top jobs that pay extraordinary wages are more deserving than those who earn only half those wages. The researchers concluded that when it comes to very high earners, the resources available due to someone’s family background — plus lucky breaks in careers — carry more weight than overall intelligence.

Nine-year-old David Balogun is not only one of the youngest-ever high school grads – he’s already finished a semester of community college. The young brainiac, who lives with his family in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, began high school just before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and took specially-designed classes remotely, graduating with an over 4.0 GPA before the end of 2022. David’s mother, Ronya Balogun, says her son was tested for giftedness in first grade. He skipped several grades in elementary school and has a particular interest in science and computer programming, but also loves sports and piano playing. The youngster, who is already a member of hi-IQ group Mensa, says he wants to be an astrophysicist who studies black holes and supernovas. He’s already obtained a few credits at college, and his family is currently searching for other colleges or universities that may be a good fit. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3ntrrdew

And you always thought beautiful people get all the breaks in life. An employment expert says that if you’re searching for a job, and you’re drop-dead gorgeous, you’d be wise to downplay your good looks for the interview. In a viral TikTok, career coach Mandy Tang describes the typical reaction to a beautiful job applicant from a hiring manager: “Oh, she’s, like, phenomenally beautiful? That’s annoying. And I bet she’s a (female dog), too”. The clip is titled: “What to do when you’re really hot during the interview process,” and Tang captioned the clip: “If you’re hot, you’re not that smart or nice, is what people are thinking.” She suggests downplaying your good looks, because “There’s actually going to be a bias against you.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/44jrrb8a
