✍️ TAKE NOTE
Want to add 20 years to your life? Here's what you need to do, according to a massive new study.
A new study suggests adopting 8 healthy habits can add 21 years for women and 24 years for men to their predicted lifespan.
These habits include:
Having positive social relationships
Managing stress
Avoiding binge drinking
Having a healthy diet
Getting enough sleep
Engaging in regular physical activity
Avoiding opioid use
Never smoking
While the study can't definitively prove these habits cause a longer life, it shows a strong correlation between healthy habits and longevity.
Why this matters:
This study offers valuable insights into simple yet impactful habits that can significantly extend your lifespan and allow you to enjoy the fruits of your labour for longer. Remember, it's never too late to make positive changes toward a healthier and potentially longer life!
Canada Introduces Bill to Combat Online Harms and Hate Speech
Canada's proposed Online Harms Act aims to address online harm and hate speech concerns, introducing new measures to protect users, especially children, and hold online platforms accountable for the content they host. Let's break down the key points of this bill and what it means for you.
Key takeaways:
Protect users, especially children, from harmful online content. This includes content promoting child sexual abuse, hate speech, self-harm, and revenge porn.
Establish a complaint mechanism: Users can flag harmful content directly on platforms or through a new digital safety commissioner.
Hold platforms accountable: Platforms will be required to remove harmful content, implement age-appropriate design features, and report on risks.
Increase penalties for hate crimes: This includes creating a standalone hate crime offence in the Criminal Code and potentially harsher sentences.
Why this matters:
Young people are one of the most active online demographics and are often exposed to harmful content. This legislation aims to create a safer online environment for everyone, especially by protecting children and vulnerable individuals. It also addresses concerns about the spread of hate speech and misinformation online.

🌐 AROUND THE INTERWEBS
Where is the Princess of Wales?
It seems the people have started to notice Princess Kate’s extended absence from the public eye as she has not been seen, reportedly since Dec 2023.
Conspiracies and rumous have taken over twitter and TikTok, some as harmless as “growing out her bangs,” others a lot more sinister.
Hopefully, she is on the recovery and everything is fine. Read the thread below for the timeline of events.
here’s a simplified thread on the kate middleton/royal family situation, i am not a royalist however i love mess 🧵

Beis is taking the bad PR around customers complaining about their luggage getting scuffed and dirty, and turning into a marketing opportunity.
The brand created a Beis Wash pop-up to clean Beis luggage for free. So, if you’re in LA, make sure you book a spa day for your Beis.
