True! I’m taking a walk!.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

An easy way to get unstuck is to get up and take a walk.

We generate more creative ideas during and after walking outdoors—and even on a treadmill facing a blank wall.

Divergent thinking rarely happens when we're tethered to a desk. Moving our bodies frees our minds.

@stuholden @FOXSports Nice! .And the BBC montage is amazing…

[Matt Davies @MattDavies_FF]

Easily into double figures watching the BBC World Cup montage. No one does them better and great to see our own @ianfinchtv credited (4 mins 10 secs).

Meta used AI to target workers with medical conditions for layoffs, according to a new lawsuit.

Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing, accusing the company of using AI that disproportionately targeted people with disabilities or workers who took medical leave in selecting people ​for mass layoffs.

Se llamaba Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, tenía 26 años y había nacido en Bucaramanga. Tenía un permiso de trabajo. Un agente de ICE lo mató en Maine. La hija de tres años de Juan Sebastián iba en la parte de atrás del carro. https://t.co/wK0s9jpdnX

The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

Inmediatez, presión de grupo y querer ser el primero son los elementos que alimentan la desinformación en época electoral. ¿Cómo combatir este fenómeno?

My personal truths as a clinical psychologist:

#297 Polarized thinking reduces anxiety at the cost of nuance.

*Life is complicated. Most people don’t enjoy uncertainty. We want clear answers, clear villains, and clear heroes.

That’s one reason polarized thinking is so attractive.

If your ex was entirely terrible, you don’t have to wrestle with what was good. If your boss is completely incompetent, you don’t have to consider the pressures they’re under. If your political party is always right and the other side is always wrong, you never have to tolerate the discomfort of mixed truths.

But reality is usually messier than that.

Most relationships contain both love and disappointment. Most people have strengths and flaws. Most social problems have more than one cause. Even political leaders we admire make mistakes, and those we oppose occasionally get something right.

Polarized thinking feels good because it reduces uncertainty. It gives us a sense of certainty and control.

The problem is that certainty often comes at the cost of understanding.

Psychological maturity is not seeing everything as good or bad. It’s developing the capacity to hold two truths at the same time.

That’s harder.

But it’s usually closer to reality.

Can we focus on continuing to improve the distribution of good Latin American films like A POET rather than immediately remaking them

I am among the McClatchy journalists withholding my byline from AI-generated content. I cover sensitive stories that should never be repackaged or altered in any way by artificial intelligence. Whether the story is about sexual abuse or immigrants caged at Alligator Alcatraz, our journalists take great care to ensure that their material is accurate, fair and conveys invaluable aspects of humanity that AI simply can't do.
