Accusations of narcissism are so rampant today in popular culture that the term may be on the road to losing all meaning. But in our era of self-absorbed social media, some psychologists report that the trait—meant to describe someone who is low on empathy and inflated with self-regard—may be on the rise, particularly among young people, particularly in the West.
Recently, a team of scientists set out to determine what demographic and cultural factors actually count when it comes to the prevalence of narcissism. The results were surprising. For one thing, the team discovered that narcissism m

Fresh US economic data is sending a clear but nuanced signal to markets. Inflation pressures are easing, but consumers remain under strain.
For Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, that mix points to improving macro conditions, tempered by near-term volatility.
US consumer sentiment edged up to 52.9 in December, slightly higher than November but still nearly 30% lower than a year ago, according to the University of Michigan.
At the same time, inflation expectations continued to fall. Short-term expectations dropped to 4.2%, while long-term expectations eased to 3.2%.

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund IBIT, has emerged as a notable outlier on the 2025 ETF flow leaderboard, ranking sixth by year-to-date inflows despite posting a negative return for the year, according to data highlighted by Bloomberg Intelligence **** yst Eric Balchunas.
IBIT is currently the only ETF among the top flow leaders showing a year-to-date loss, with returns down roughly 9.6%.

Economists cast doubt on inflation report: 'Hard to take this data seriously'
How much is inflation really cooling?
Thursday’s release of November’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showed inflation unexpectedly eased to an annual rise of 2.7% that month. But monthly comparisons — October data was never collected due to the government shutdown — were absent from the Labor Department’s report, leaving more recent price swings a bit of a mystery for dozens of product categories.
Economists treaded lightly following the report.

With the four weekday games from last week's holiday slate, your Week 14 NFL predictions should account for the rest advantages that teams have. Games like Bengals vs. Bills (-6), Ravens vs. Steelers (+6), Chiefs vs. Texans (+3.5) and Eagles vs. Chargers (+2.5) all feature teams with multiple days of rest over their opponent. While sportsbooks factored this in when setting the Week 14 NFL odds, having the edge in rest hasn't always been beneficial in regard to NFL spread success. Cincinnati, for example, who played on Thanksgiving Day, is 0-6 ATS over its last six games when it has the rest ad

The calendar has moved into December, and that means greater potential for inclement weather when it comes to NFL games, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. We've already seen snow and wind having an impact in certain contests, so those interested in NFL betting will need to check out the forecast for these Week 14 games in particular before making wagers.
It's expected to be a clear day, but the main angle here is the Dolphins and their struggles in cold weather. The temperature is expected to be in the mid to upper 30s, which is not good for Miami. The Jets are coming off a nice home w

Bitcoin's greatest bull runs have, in the past, coincided with a low federal funds rate.
The Federal Reserve could soon cut that interest rate again.

If you're a bettor looking to place wagers on any of Week 14's 13 remaining games, you need to be aware of the most important NFL injuries that could play a massive role in a team winning or covering the spread on Sunday or Monday. As has been the case all year long, quarterback injuries are a big deal this week, though we're getting better news than we have for most of the season in Week 14 on that front. Here's a quick look at the most important NFL injuries for bettors to know, along with what NFL betting lines look like per the latest SportsLine consensus odds. We will update this post wit

Injuries are an inescapable aspect of the NFL. As annoying as they may be, the health of various teams gives us tremendous insight into how they'll perform every week. In Week 14, there's an array of injury situations that we're monitoring that could very well shape the upcoming slate.
Specifically, all eyes are on the quarterback position with two of the game's more dynamic talents, Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels. Jackson missed practice on Thursday, which has clouded his status for a pivotal AFC North contest with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, Jayden Daniels is remarkably in play to

Even though the Carolina Panthers are winning more games now and are in the playoff conversation, the talk surrounding the team is, understandably, all about Bryce Young's future. Has he played his way into a long-term contract extension?
The answer is probably not yet. He's still had his fair share of ups and downs, but he's won them some games, and he seems to have ultimately improved on his success from the end of last season.
The Panthers are expected to pick up his fifth-year option. Beyond that? It's anyone's guess, but two former NFL players want to see him stay in Car

If you're hoping to use NFL betting trends to help influence your Week 14 NFL predictions, you won't get much ****** istance. Favorites have covered in 51% of games, with underdogs winning versus the spread 49% of the time. What's essentially a flip of the coin doesn't offer any NFL betting advice for a slate of games with slim lines, as no team is favored by more than 8.5 points. There are five games with a spread of a field goal or less, per the Week 14 NFL odds, including Colts vs. Jaguars (+1.5), Dolphins vs. Jets (+3) and Vikings vs. Commanders (+1.5).

Imagine traveling back in time to tell someone who was preparing to bet on Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season that neither Shane Steichen or Jonathan Taylor were runaway favorites to win Coach of the Year or Offensive Player of the Year. Taylor got to around -2000 at one point but has fallen back and I actually think Jahmyr Gibbs, on the heels of his three-touchdown performance against the Cowboys on Thursday night, is a pretty good look at 10-1 to take that hardware. The Colts can surge back to the forefront with a strong stretch run, especially with two games with the Jaguars on tap, including t
