Can AI talk us out of conspiracy theory rabbit holes?
This research, carried out by Thomas Costello at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and colleagues, shows promise for a challenging social problem: belief in conspiracy theories. Some conspiracy theories are relatively harmless, such as believing Finland doesn't exist (which is fine, until you meet a Finn). Other theories, though, reduce trust in public institutions and science.

Springfield, Ohio becomes meme central as Donald Trump’s debunked pet-eating claim fuels Simpsons parodies
Trump made a controversial claim about undocumented Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. Trump stated that these immigrants were eating local pets, a claim quickly debunked by officials. Trump emphasized his stance on immigration by saying, “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” Vice President Kamala Harris reacted with visible confusion to Trump's statement, which had previously gained attention on social media through Trump's running mate JD Vance. The claim went viral on X (formerly Twitter), where the phrase “They’re eating the dogs” trended and generated nearly 270,000 posts. Many users created humorous content, including setting the comment to music.

Durex makes India condom push for women, rural consumers
Reckitt Benckiser designed products and marketing to lure Indian men to its Durex brand. Now, it is pushing a growth strategy by betting on women and rural consumers. India last year surpassed China to become the world's most populous nation, but still fares poorly on the use of contraceptives. India's government estimates only around 10% of men use condoms and for women, sterilization remains the popular form of contraception. Social stigma surrounding sex — which some say stems from Victorian social norms established during British colonization — has for decades marginalized female pleasure in the Indian society.

Independent voters, who they are going to vote for, will decide whether Trump or Harris will win the U.S. Elections
Donald Trump will need to make a strong impression. It can be challenging to identify independent voters by nature. All social groups who don't strongly identify as Republicans or Democrats are included in this term, regardless of their circumstances. Due to the similar local influences, conversations, and policy concerns that shape independent voters, it can be challenging to forecast how independents will vote nationally. However, statewide data may be more insightful. Also Read: Spider-Noir: See updates about cast, where to watch, plot and production of Amazon’s Marvel series
