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

Along with its many other innovations, the Roman Empire revolutionized architecture with never-before-seen features, such as large-scale arches and dome roofs. And many of these structures still stand today despite being more than 2,000 years old.
None of it would have been possible without the Romans’ infallible building material: self-healing concrete. Now, an ancient construction site has revealed the recipe for creating this sturdy foundation.
At the time Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, covering Pompeii in as much as 6 meters (19.7 feet) of volcanic ash, construction workers were in the

Today is the day that astronomers, amateur stargazers and alien conspiracy theorists alike have been waiting for: interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is as close to Earth as it will ever get.
The strange interloper in our solar system has for months attracted no shortage of public fascination as it whizzed its way first past Mars, and then the sun. Now, more than five months since it was first discovered, 3I/ATLAS has made its closest approach to Earth.
But lest you think that an extraterrestrial invasion is upon us, know that the comet still is not coming much within about 170 million miles of our

10 stocks we like better than Carnival Corp. ›
Long-term investing is the key to sustainable returns in the stock market, but sometimes it can backfire spectacularly. For example, if you purchased $1,000 of Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) (NYSE: CUK) stock 10 years ago, you would have just over $500 today -- a loss of around 50%. That means more than a decade of growth and billions in stock buybacks essentially evaporated during the coronavirus pandemic.
The good news is that Carnival's

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.
Across social platforms, BOB is being labeled a major “red flag” due to structural risks in its token distribution. Data from Go Plus Security reveals that the top 10 holders control more than 93% of the entire BOB supply. Such extreme concentration is often

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday a reset of Joe Biden's fuel-economy standards, arguing it will lower US car prices -- but critics warned it would worsen climate change and leave drivers paying more at the pump.
Trump was flanked in the Oval Office by the CEOs of Ford and Stellantis and a senior General Motors official, a show of buy-in from Detroit's "Big Three."
"My administration is taking historic action to lower costs for American consumers, protect American auto jobs and make buying a car much more affordable," the US president said.
"Today is a victory (for) common sense an

AT&T's CEO urges young people to view their careers in four- to five-year chapters.
John Stankey highlighted rapid technology changes and the need for ongoing self-education.
Tech leaders agree that self-driven learning and AI skills are key in today's job market.
Young people should redesign their careers every few years, says AT&T's CEO.
On an episode of the "In Good Company" podcast released on Wednesday, John Stankey said that the idea that you get a relevant college education is "quickly fading," so young people should own their learning.

President Trump rolled back fuel economy rules that he claims created an “EV mandate” after former President Joe Biden imposed stricter fuel economy standards last year.
Trump said the administration was officially terminating Biden’s “ridiculous” CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) rules, claiming car prices would come down in response to today’s action. Automakers are now required to meet an average of 34.5 mpg across their model fleet by 2031, a dramatic drop from the average of 50.4 mpg across 2031 that the Biden administration had proposed.
Trump said the action would allow automakers

Short seller Michael Burry just took a swipe at another richly valued stock: Tesla (TSLA).
Burry, who rose to fame shorting the housing market during the 2008 financial crisis, dubbed the EV maker as "ridiculously overvalued" in a Substack post on Sunday. Business Insider was first to report on Burry's latest missive.
His post took aim at the "tragic algebra" of stock-based compensation, and Tesla was an example. Tesla dilutes its stock by 3.6% a year, he said, and offers no buybacks.
"Tesla's market capitalization is ridiculously overvalued today and has been for a good long time," Burry s

Tennessee’s 7th District special election will be held on Dec. 2 to fill a vacant U.S. House seat long held by Republicans.
Retired GOP Rep. Mark Green announced his resignation on June 9 and officially stepped down in July. Republican nominee Matt Van Epps and Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn will face off in the general election to fill the congressional seat.
The district race has become critical, with both parties vying for momentum ahead of next year’s Midterm elections.
As previously reported by USA TODAY, the race is a product of Tennessee's Republican-controlled legislature, which drew

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

MANHATTAN (KSNT) – This year is the 50th anniversary of the first case of herbicide resistance in Kansas, and Kansas State University is reflecting on what has been done and what’s left to do with the issue.
The first known case of herbicide resistance in Kansas came in 1976 when populations of kochia, an early spring weed/herb native to Europe and Asia, growing near railroads were found to be resistant to atrazine, a popular herbicide used in corn and sorghum fields. Today, this resistant kochia can be found across the state.
