According to a study, half of all TikTok posts about baby boomers perpetuate ageist stereotypes. And researchers from the National University of Singapore warn that this is only widening the hostile divide between younger and older generations. The team analyzed 673 TikTok videos, marked with the hashtags #Boomer and/or #OkBoomer, collectively garnering over 5.4 billion views. They found that half of the videos cast boomers in a negative light or reinforced negative stereotypes of older adults, including portraying them as slow, irrelevant, and incompetent. Baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, are now between 58 and 75 years-old.

Men
say “I love you” first. In a study published in the SAGE Journal
of Social and Personal Relationships, researchers had over 3,000
adults from Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Poland, and
the UK complete online questionnaires about their relationships.
Contrary to stereotypical gender norms, they found that in 6 of the 7
regions, men were more likely to admit love first. On average, men
said “I love you” 69 days into a relationship, while women didn’t
think about it until 77 days in. The lone outlier? Women in France
tend to say “I love you” before men.

A millionaire has fulfilled a dying boy’s wish for a ride in a supercar – and he is appealing for help to save him. Matt Fiddes, a former Michael Jackson bodyguard, took 6-year-old Woody Blight for a spin in his Lamborghini amid his battle with neuroblastoma. Video shows Woody having the time of his life in the exotic auto, and what’s more, Fiddes followed that up by taking the youngster for a ride in his Ferrari. And Millionaire Matt, who made headlines for buying the Lambo despite being unable to write, has since started a campaign, asking for doctors or specialists who could help save Woody’s life to come forward before it’s too late – and even offering to pay for his treatment. Woody’s mother, Paige, says her son desperately needs alternative medical solutions — after England’s National Health Service ran out of treatments to offer. She says of Fiddes: “He was just so lovely and kind – what he did and does is just amazing.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/yckba643
