Pentagon loses track of billions in US weapons sent to Israel

Two weeks without mobile internet restored sustained attention to levels typical of someone ten years younger.

A recent preregistered randomized controlled trial published in PNAS Nexus demonstrates that simply disabling mobile internet access on smartphones—while retaining calls, texts, and computer-based browsing—can yield substantial psychological benefits in as little as two weeks.

Participants who blocked mobile data showed marked enhancements in sustained attention (with objective test performance improving to levels comparable to reversing a decade of typical age-related decline), mental health (including reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms exceeding those often seen with antidepressants), and subjective well-being (higher life satisfaction and positive affect). Notably, 91% of participants improved in at least one of these domains.

The key insight is that the intervention targets the unique "always-available" connectivity of smartphones, which drives constant interruptions and fragmented focus. Without this mobile tether, individuals reported reallocating time toward in-person socializing, exercise, and nature—activities that mediated much of the gains.

Although not all cognitive functions were affected equally, and full compliance varied, even partial adherence produced meaningful benefits. This evidence underscores how pervasive mobile connectivity may quietly erode mental clarity and mood, making targeted digital breaks a practical strategy for reclaiming focus in a hyper-connected era.

The US Treasury yield curve is broadening:

The difference between 10-year and 2-year Treasuries is up to +65 basis points, near the highest since January 2022.

The Treasury yield curve has now been positive for 15 months after the inversion ended in September 2024.

Over this period, the 10-year note yield has increased +37 basis points, to 4.13%, while the 2-year Treasury yield has dropped -28 basis points, to 3.48%.

Over the last century, most recessions began after the yield curve turned positive and continued to steepen for at least 9 months.

This time, the curve is rising without an NBER-declared recession.

Has the economy achieved a soft landing?

This probably explains why the left is so focused on indoctrinating our children in schools, universities and legacy media. They simply don’t have enough children of their own.
