Criminals use the hype around GLP-1 drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, to steal your payment info and your money or, worse, send you counterfeit drugs that can make you sick. I shouldn’t have to say it but don’t buy meds from unlicensed or non-U.S. pharmacies — not even for swimsuit season.
The world’s first billboard that literally emits the mouthwatering aroma of McDonald’s french fries is increasing sales in the Netherlands. The billboard is about 650 feet away from the restaurant. I’m just waiting for the day they come out with a sandwich called “The McJagger.”

🥽 VR therapy: New research indicates VR can mimic the mood-boosting effects of outdoor activities, exercise and socializing for people with major depressive disorders. This could be a huge win, especially for those who struggle to leave the house.
Practice safe sexts: Instagram says they’re going to start blurring naked pics in direct messages for anyone under age 18. Those who attempt to send a nude via DM will be advised to be “cautious.” Once again, social media tries to come off as a good citizen when it’s the problem.
