Alison Brie and Dave Franco Face Copyright Lawsuit Over Sundance Hit ‘Together’
Actors Alison Brie and Dave Franco, who share creative chemistry on and off screen, have suddenly found themselves the subject of a very hot legal fire. Their latest film, Together, which premiered to fanfare at last year's 2025 Sundance Film Festival as a supernatural body horror film, is the subject of an explosive copyright lawsuit. The plaintiffs argue the movie is a blatant copy of an earlier indie attempt, and controversy ensues regarding originality, impact, and Hollywood's generally obscurantist intellectual property universe.

Know thyself
I oftentimes hear that people do not know what they want, and it usually sounds like a judgment of some kind, whether aimed at others or at oneself. What I came to understand as a result of therapy, is that a lot of the time this happens due to unmet needs; very basic psychological developmental needs that we are often not even consciously aware of having once we ‘grow up’.

"I Scheduled My Joy: How a Self-Care Planner Helped Me Reclaim My Sanity"
The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough I didn't wake up one morning and decide to become a self-care guru. In fact, I hit rock bottom in the middle of a Tuesday Zoom call, crying silently as my screen froze—yet again—mid-sentence. My to-do list was growing. My energy? Non-existent. My mind was a browser with 52 tabs open and not one of them working.

Scientists Find Molecule That Blocks Brain Cell Death in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s
Australian scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in neurodegenerative disease research. By identifying a small molecule that blocks cell death, researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute may have found a potential treatment path for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The molecule targets the BAX protein, which damages mitochondria and causes neuron death. This research opens new possibilities for developing drugs that could slow or stop the progression of these challenging neurological conditions

Be The Person Your Dog Thinks You Are
“Bob, Bob, Bob wake up! Wake up!” “Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph” “Bob, Dad needs us! Wake up!” “Lois, dad’s fine. Humans have these things called thumbs that let them take care of themselves. It’s midday nap time. Bob’s midday nap time is sacred. You’ve got a lot to learn, little pup.”

The Moral Cost of Economic Inequality
Economic inequality is not just a problem of income gaps it is a mirror that reflects the moral and structural failings of modern societies. While global wealth has grown at unprecedented rates, that prosperity has not been shared equitably. Instead, it has become increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few. The consequences are not only economic but deeply social and moral. To understand the full weight of this issue, we must look beyond numbers and ask what kind of world we are creating when so much is held by so few.
