An investigation into disinformation has been initiated by the European Commission about the prominent social media platform Meta.  Tuesday, the European Union (EU) declared its investigation into the Facebook and Instagram operator, stating that it suspects the U.S. company of violating the EU's regulations regarding online content.

Seville, located in southern Spain, experienced summertime temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) last year. The intensity of the heatwave merited a moniker: Heatwave Yago, the second event bearing the city's name in the past two years.  Similar to numerous other cities in Europe and globally, Seville is currently grappling with temperatures that exceed its structural capacity. In London, England, railway tracks and airport tarmac were dissolved by extreme heat in the summer of 2022. Germans began contemplating midday siestas in July 2023 as a means to flee the oppressive heat.

The 'Pharaoh's curse,' which was postulated to have claimed the lives of over twenty individuals since the opening of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, has reportedly been deciphered by a physicist.  Ross Fellowes concludes that the deaths may have had a biological cause, whereas an ancient Egyptian text threatens 'death by a disease that no doctor can diagnose' to anyone who disturbs royal mummified remains.

Not to mention violent criminals, on-screen psychopaths such as Tom Ripley and Patrick Bateman are typically male. This may bolster the notion that the overwhelming majority of psychopaths are male, but an academic now argues that this perception may be erroneous. Dr. Clive Boddy, an expert at Anglia Ruskin University, asserts that female psychopaths are "more prevalent than we realise" due to the fact that studies have long been unable to identify them.

According to scientific research, there is no discernible difference in happiness or health between married and single individuals. Researchers compared the mental and physical health of individuals who were married and those who had never exchanged vows.
