Calories burned walking at a 10% incline. I like a real hill outside, but a treadmill works, too. FYI, a 5% incline boosts your calorie burn by 17%. Add on a weighted backpack (it’s called rucking) to burn an extra 200+ calories an hour. I was hiking yesterday when suddenly I ran into a cougar. It almost made me puma pants. 🐅
🦾 Mind-blowing: I love this. Scientists helped a paralyzed man control a robotic arm with his thoughts. How? They built a brain-computer interface (BCI) that uses AI to grab brain signals and turn them into movement. So far, he can pick up blocks, open cabinets and hold a cup under a water dispenser. It’s still going strong seven months later.
Baby, oh no: The internet was in a panic. Did Justin and Hailey Bieber break up? How could Hailey unfollow Justin on Instagram? Take a deep breath. It was just a glitch when Justin deactivated his IG account. They were recently seen on a sushi date. Oh, thank goodness.
I’m scratching my head on this one: People who use a Garmin smartwatch are upset about a monthly fee, and it’s not that they are still using a Garmin. The app’s new AI health and fitness tracking tools cost $6.99 a month ($69.99 per year). Apple Watch, anyone?

🇨🇳 Say it’s not Tso: Obviously, we just don’t care about giving China even more of our data. China’s DeepSeek just passed ChatGPT in new monthly website visits with 524.7 million, compared to ChatGPT’s 500 million. DeepSeek holds 12.12% of the chatbot market, second to ChatGPT. Think about what you hand over to this communist chatbot.
⏰ Don’t be alarmed: Over 170 million Americans use TikTok. Isn’t that nuts? The clock is ticking on the TikTok sale. President Trump says the TikTok deal will happen before this Saturday’s deadline. There are a lot of potential buyers with $100 billion or more to spend, but the president will make the final call. I’d love to be in the room, hearing those conversations.
There are over 1 billion malware programs: Antivirus software scans your system for viruses, ransomware and other threats and removes them before they cause damage. Protect five devices for only $19.
🌲 This is tree-mendous: Nearsightedness in kids is exploding because of screens. Get this. In a study, children were placed in a classroom with tree imagery and a sky-like ceiling. After a year, they showed less vision decline than those in a regular room. Time to go outside, kids!
😱 This could be the start of something terrible: Scientists are on the verge of growing spare human bodies for medicine! Seriously. It’d likely be done using stem cells and artificial wombs, and could help with the organ shortage and testing new drugs. These “bodyoids” apparently wouldn’t feel pain or be able to think. Yikes.
Apple’s revamping the Health app: They’re adding an AI virtual doctor (paywall link). It’ll analyze health data from your devices and give you personalized tips to stay healthy, eat better and improve sleep. ETA: Sometime next year. I see me doing tips on how to remove your data, too.
