Deep down, we always knew it – and now scientists are backing us up: Men’s and Women’s brains DO work differently. Researchers at Stanford University demonstrated the differences between the brains of men and women by using artificial intelligence, which was more than 90% accurate in differentiating between sexes based on “hotspots” shown in brain scans. The AI was able to detect differences in the areas of the brain which are responsible for self-focus and introspection; for forming habits and rewards; and the area that regulates emotions. The study author says this research reveals that “sex plays a crucial role” in cognitive development and aging.

A
Washington schoolgirl broke a Guinness World Record by putting on 45
sweaters at her local library. Sophia Hayden pulled on each sweater
individually, in order of size, and had to pull each garment down to
her waist before moving on to the next one, to comply with Guinness
World Records rules. She broke the record for the most sweaters worn
at once. The previous title-holder was an 11-year-old in France, who
managed to do 40 sweaters in 2022. The sweaters used by young Sophia
were donated to charity. LINK: http://tinyurl.com/2jz5tbrh

Stephen King recently took to X to question why Warner Bros. is holding back its new film adaptation of “Salem’s Lot,” based on King’s 1975 horror novel about a writer who returns to his hometown in Maine and discovers its residents are becoming vampires. The movie went into development in 2019 and was filmed in 2021. A theatrical release was planned for September 2022, but it has yet to see the light of day. King wrote: “I’ve seen the new SALEM’S LOT and it’s quite good. Old-school horror filmmaking: slow build, big payoff. Not sure why WB is holding it back…Who knows. I just write the [BLEEP] things.”
Greta Gerwig is “just happy” to celebrate ‘Barbie’ at the Oscars. The filmmaker was a notable omission from the Best Director shortlist at the upcoming Academy Awards, and while she is disappointed Margot Robbie missed out on a nomination for Best Actress, she insisted she isn’t sad about being snubbed herself, because the film is up for a total of 8 accolades, including a Best Adapted Screenplay nod for herself and husband, co-writer Noah Baumbach. Gerwig told Time magazine: “Of course I wanted it for Margot. “But I’m just happy we all get to be there together.” The Oscars are set for March 10.

A New York City man who attempted to smuggle Burmese pythons in his pants across the Canadian Border has been arrested.
Major League Baseball spring training is now well underway in Florida and Arizona – but there’s a new wrinkle that players hope to get sorted out – pronto. It would seem that the new unforms being sported by players contain the unfortunate flaw of being…see-through! Several teams have white pants that have made for some less-than-ideal photos. The MLB Players Association has confirmed that it is relaying concerns about the new pants to the league. The complaints that pants are “somewhat see-through” are part of broader concern about the uniforms, which supposedly are designed to improve mobility by providing 25% more stretch, and with “more breathable” lettering, emblems and numbering. Some players have also gone on record as saying the new style uniforms appear “cheaper” and “faded”.

He’s the ‘Borat’ of the equestrian world! Australian Shane Rose saw his plans to compete in the Paris Olympics this summer thrown into doubt — after he wore a mankini at a showjumping event this month. The outfit — as made famous by the movie character Borat – led to an investigation by Equestrian Australia, which could have blocked him from competing. He was eventually cleared of wrongdoing. Rose wore a bright orange G-string at a costumed non-professional event called the Wallaby Hill Extravaganza. Complaints were filed over the appropriateness of his (ahem!) uniform, although it remains unclear whether he actually violated any part of the no-nonsense sport’s code of conduct.

Five ways to jumpstart your day by…
☞ Prepping your breakfast: Taking 5 minutes the night before for meal prep can save you a lot of stress and time the next morning.
☞ Do your workout in the morning: A little exercise in the morning can brighten your mood. Plus, it wakes you up.
☞ Work out with friends: There are lots of benefits to working out with friends, including the fact that you’re less likely to skip when you know someone else is waiting for you.
☞ Stop hitting the snooze button: Instead of hitting that thing, get up and use the extra 10 minutes for you. Enjoy the pleasure of drinking a cup of coffee or tea. Relax and think of everything you would like to achieve today.
☞ Use a smart alarm to wake up peacefully: A smart alarm, available on some apps, recognizes the best time to wake you up and will do so during your lightest sleep phase, within a set window.
