Billionaire who sold two companies to Coca-Cola says he tries to convince people not to become entrepreneurs: ‘Every single day, you can go bankrupt’

Mike Repole, the billionaire entrepreneur who co-founded and sold beverage giants Glaceau and BodyArmor to Coca-Cola for a combined $9.7 billion, has an unexpected message for aspiring business owners: Don’t do it.
In an interview with The School of Hard Knocks, a popular social-media channel known for interviewing wealthy entrepreneurs, Repole shared his contrarian view on entrepreneurship, emphasizing the brutal realities that most success

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

A photo of Miss Finland sparks racist accusations and furor across Asia

HELSINKI, Finland (AP) — Finland’s government is facing heavy pressure and accusations of racism from several Asian countries after its representative to the 2025 Miss Universe pageant was seen pulling the corners of her eyes in a photo -- and some Finnish politicians posted their own photos repeating the gesture.
Sarah Dzafce lost her Miss Finland crown last week after a photo of Dzafce pulling the skin at the corners of her eyes posted on social media went viral late last month. The photo, and its caption reading “ea

You may have seen headlines or social media posts talking about a weakening of Earth’s magnetic field, specifically over the South Atlantic.
It sounds dramatic, and a little scary. Is Earth losing its protective shield? Are we in danger? What exactly does this mean for people on the ground?
To get the facts straight, we spoke with Manoj Nair, a senior research scientist at CIRES at the University of Colorado and an affiliate at NOAA, who studies Earth’s magnetic field for a living.
His takeaway is reassuring: this is fascinating science and important for satellites, but not something the av

Trump halts green card lottery that let suspect in Brown and MIT shootings into U.S.

President Donald Trump suspended the green card lottery program on Thursday that allowed the suspect in the Brown University and MIT shootings to come to the United States.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a post on the social platform X that, at Trump’s direction, she is ordering the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to pause the program.

“I have just approved TINY CARS to be built in America,” the president wrote on Truth Social Friday, having previously described the vehicles as “very cute.”

Earlier this week, Robert Griffin III, a former NFL quarterback from 2012 to 2020 (Redskins, Browns and Ravens), posted on X about why BYU had earned its place in the College Football Playoff. Punctuating his remarks, he said at the end: “Stop the persecution of the Christians, man ... come on!”
His commentary became a social media magnet for naysayers ready to recap their theological reasons for objecting to the label. But Robert Griffin III (often called RG3 for short), has heard this pushback before.

It is the 22nd strike the U.S. military has carried out against boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean that the Trump administration claimed were trafficking drugs.
There were four casualties in Thursday’s strike, according to the social media post, bringing the death toll of the campaign to at least 87 people.

Build On Bitcoin (BOB), a Bitcoin Defi crypto token, delivered a dramatic surge today, printing what traders often call a “God candle” after rocketing more than 100% in a day.
While the rally may seem compelling at first glance, a closer look at the token’s underlying fundamentals raises serious concerns that investors should not ignore.

Financial misinformation isn’t new, but today, it’s supercharged. The 24/7 news cycle fueled by social media virality means you’re more likely than ever to consume inaccurate or misleading information every day. Sometimes these narratives, no matter how false, seep into our collective consciousness and give a false impression of our finances and the economy. This is the basis of a “vibecession,” that is, a disconnect between the actual performance of the economy and our overly negative perception of it.
Take, for example, a chart that made the social media rounds recently. It peddled the mess

Take your Social Security at 62.
That’s the buzzy advice blowing up on TikTok and YouTube.
Droves of “finfluencers,” as these social media personalities doling out financial tips are called, have been posting videos and memes to justify starting Social Security retirement benefits at age 62 — the earliest age allowed — and then investing the money each month in stocks.
That argument is in stark contrast to what most financial advisers and retirement experts have been urging people to do for years, which is to delay tapping your benefit until age 70 if you can afford to, thereby reaping a la

President Trump’s approval ratings have fallen in recent weeks as he approaches the end of the first year of his second term.
A Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) polling average of surveys on Trump’s approval rating shows it sitting at 42 percent, while his disapproval rating currently sits at 55 percent. That’s lower than roughly a month ago, when the average had his approval rating at close to 46 percent and his disapproval rating at around 51 percent.
While Trump said in a recent Truth Social post last weekend that he had received “THE HIGHEST POLL NUMBERS OF MY ‘POLITICAL CAREER,’” experts are say

Ohio Republican Vivek Ramaswamy edits video initially proposing year-round school

(The Center Square) – Ohio Republican governor candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is quickly backing away from an idea to send children to school year-round and extend the school day.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton posted a clip of Ramaswamy’s social media video, which outlined ideas to reduce the cost of child care, including sending students to school until 4 p.m. and keeping schools in session throughout the year.
Ramaswamy later deleted the video, and a new version without the school plan was upload

White House denies report of Trump considering removing FBI director

The Trump administration is denying a report from MS NOW that the president is considering removing FBI Director Kash Patel amid recent scrutiny of his use of Bureau resources.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a social media post that she read the story's headline to Trump in the Oval Office while he was meeting with Patel and the president responded: "What? That’s totally false. Come on Kash, let’s take a picture to show them you’re doing a great job!"

Megan Feller smoked pot several times a day and couldn’t eat, sleep or function without it. But at the time, she didn't see the need to reach out for help.
“I didn’t think cannabis was a big deal,” the 24-year-old said. “It was really socially accepted.”
This attitude is common. As more states legalize marijuana, use has become more normalized and products have become more potent. But fewer of those who are addicted seek help for it.
Pot use among young adults reached historic levels in recent years, according to a federally supported survey. Daily use even outpaced daily drinking, with nea

Confused Trump, 79, Mistakenly Amplifies Calls to Impeach Himself

Donald Trump is struggling to stay on message after accidentally boosting a call to impeach himself.
The president, 79, went on a social media posting spree attacking a group of Democrats who last week released a video urging U.S. service members and the intelligence community to refuse illegal orders.
But while doing so, he posted a screenshot of Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer and one of six Democratic lawmakers featured in the video, from an anti-Trump account named “Impeach Trump a 3rd Time.”

Pentagon says it's launching 'thorough review' into Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon announced Monday it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona over possible breaches of military law after the former Navy pilot joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for troops to defy "illegal orders."
The Pentagon’s statement, posted on social media, cited a federal law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the defense secretary for possible court martial or other measures.

Fact Check: 'MRI Disaster' Video Does NOT Show Real Accident Caused By MRI Magnetic Fields -- It Is One Of Dozens Of AI Hoaxes Gaining Social Media Clout

Does a viral clip really show an oxygen tank and a patient on a gurney being sucked from a hallway straight into the bore of an MRI machine? No, that's not true: It's clearly labelled as having been created by Sora, the OpenAI-owned text-to-video tool. The video includes multiple glaring departures from reality: A marked exit door would not lead immediately into the danger zone at the mouth of an MRI, let alone leading into an MRI suite. T

The standard monthly premium will be $202.90, an increase of $17.90 from this year, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
