A passenger who says he was elbowed, doused in wine, and then berated by a flight attendant aboard an American Airlines flight has filed a federal lawsuit seeking more than $75,000, and the airline's response, he alleges, was to accuse him of misconduct. David Cruz was flying from Miami to Los Angeles in September 2025 on a discounted standby "buddy pass", a travel benefit available because his mother works as a quality control inspector for American Airlines. He sat in seat 17B with an empty seat beside him. That empty seat did not stay empty for long. Crew members transferred an intoxicated passenger who had already been involved in an altercation further back in the cabin into seat 17A, right next to Cruz, rather than restraining the…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Jonah Adams) - Gut bacteria linked to psychopathic traits in new study from Portuguese researchers

A team of scientists at the University of Porto says it has found a "measurable biological footprint" connecting specific gut and oral bacteria to psychopathic personality traits, a finding that, if confirmed, could reshape how researchers understand antisocial behavior.

A team of scientists at the University of Porto says it has found a "measurable biological footprint" connecting specific gut and oral bacteria to psychopathic personality traits, a finding that, if confirmed, could reshape how researchers understand antisocial behavior. The study, led by researcher Carolina Costa and published in Nature , enrolled 200 healthy adults and asked them to complete a standardized psychopathy questionnaire known as the Self-Report Psychopathy Scale-Short Form. Each participant also submitted blood, saliva, and fecal samples so the team could catalog their bacterial makeup and metabolic markers. What the researchers found was specific and striking: three types of gut bacteria, Allisonella, Prevotella, and…Open

How does the study's findings regarding bacterial patterns differ from the idea of individual microbial diversity?
Individual microbial diversity alone did not predict psychopathic traits; instead, the bacterial patterns emerged only when researchers ran comparative analyses across the full participant pool, suggesting the link is about specific bacterial populations appearing at measurably different levels in people with higher psychopathy scores.
Q&A ID b36f0c71-23e0-408f-b29a-2d114184d93b
What psychometric tool was used in the study to assess psychopathy in the 200 healthy adults?
The participants were asked to complete a standardized psychopathy questionnaire known as the Self-Report Psychopathy Scale-Short Form.
Q&A ID 8efa33fc-0252-4080-89d0-bcb8caba2e80
What was the sample size and demographic nature of the participants involved in the University of Porto study on psychopathic traits?
The study enrolled 200 healthy adults. These participants were not convicted criminals or psychiatric patients, but rather healthy individuals being studied for subclinical psychopathic personality traits.
Q&A ID 6a50eff3-453d-49ac-b13e-77e10a8b0776
Which specific gut bacteria were found to be present at higher levels in participants who scored higher on the psychopathy survey according to the study led by Carolina Costa?
The three types of gut bacteria identified were Allisonella, Prevotella, and Cloacibacillus evryensis.
