AXIOS (Josephine Walker) - 9/11 and "never forget" collide with the meme generation's dark humor
America says "never forget" — but a growing share of Americans don't remember. Why it matters: More Americans are coming of age with no firsthand memory of 9/11 , creating emotional distance from the trauma and more room for dark humor and reinterpretation. The big picture: For Americans under 27, 9/11 arrived through textbooks, movies, social media and family stories rather than lived experience. - That distance can make humor easier, amplified by algorithms that reward provocative content and a generational instinct to push back against mandatory reverence. By the numbers: About 83% of adults born before 2001 remember where they were or what they were doing when they heard about the attacks. - But roughly 10% of U.S. adults were…

Residents of a tiny private village on the Spanish island of Menorca are publicly shaming tourists who trespass on their property, climb their walls, and block their front doors, all for the sake of a selfie.

Residents of a tiny private village on the Spanish island of Menorca are publicly shaming tourists who trespass on their property, climb their walls, and block their front doors, all for the sake of a selfie. Binibeca Vell, a whitewashed coastal enclave of 165 homes in southwest Menorca, posted a blunt message on its official Instagram account that opened with four words: "TOURISTS, GO HOME." The full statement, reported by the Daily Mail , went on to clarify that the community welcomes visitors, but not the ones who treat private residences like amusement-park scenery. More than 800,000 people now flood through the village every year. The community has roughly 200 residents. That ratio, about 4,000 tourists for every person who actually…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Women vow to ban boyfriends from GTA 6 over in-game romance feature they call 'cheating'
Grand Theft Auto VI's optional relationship mechanic, letting players text, date, and flirt with a fictional female character, has sparked a social media fight over whether a video game can count as infidelity.

Grand Theft Auto VI's optional relationship mechanic, letting players text, date, and flirt with a fictional female character, has sparked a social media fight over whether a video game can count as infidelity. Shelby Haas, a bride-to-be, posted a TikTok video that racked up more than five million views with a blunt declaration: she would not allow her fiancé anywhere near the game. Her objection centered on a feature that lets players maintain a romantic relationship with Lucia Caminos, GTA 6's female protagonist, complete with flirty text messages, dates, and the possibility of physical intimacy. The game, set for release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, reportedly takes roughly 80 hours to complete. But it is not…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Lynn Jenkins) - Dogs can show ADHD-like behavior, but vet warns against TikTok diagnosis
A veterinarian says dogs can show hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention resembling human ADHD, but owners should not mistake normal behavior for illness. The Daily Mail reported that dozens of owners have described similar traits in their dogs online. One TikTok user posted a video of a dog “running laps” and asked whether it showed “textbook […] The post Dogs can show ADHD-like behavior, but vet warns against TikTok diagnosis appeared first on American Almanac .
A veterinarian says dogs can show hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention resembling human ADHD, but owners should not mistake normal behavior for illness. The Daily Mail reported that dozens of owners have described similar traits in their dogs online. One TikTok user posted a video of a dog “running laps” and asked whether it showed “textbook symptoms.” Researchers have examined ADHD-like behavior in dogs, including problems with focus and impulse control. But Dr. Guy Sandelowsky, founder of OMNI Pet Limited, says ordinary canine behavior can look much the same. That distinction matters. A restless puppy, a bored pet and a dog with a deeper behavior problem may act alike, yet require very different responses from an owner.…Open
AXIOS (Avery Lotz) - The body image battle is real in 2026, but the bodies may not be
A societal spotlight on extreme thinness is stripping body diversity from screens, just as fashion magazines did in the early aughts, mental health experts tell Axios. The big picture: Fake content creators are introducing unattainable, AI-generated body images that prey on human nature and exacerbate the struggle for many to reach self-acceptance for their bodies. - When shrunken celebrities "become the ideal ... because of their status, then the virtual influencers are going to be emulating that," Katy Bruchmann, who leads Santa Clara University's Social Cognition and Comparison Lab, says. - "Then, the more really thin, super beautiful virtual influencers you have, the target changes for all the real people again. It's a really scary…
