For decades an Italian-American town in Pennsylvania had far less heart disease than the near-identical town next door despite smoking, drinking and eating much the same, and the only thing that explained the gap was how closely its people lived

The town is Roseto, in eastern Pennsylvania, settled at the end of the nineteenth century by immigrants from a single village in southern Italy. By the 1950s it sat almost on top of Bangor, the next town over, close enough that the two shared the same water, the same air, the same hard slate-quarrying economy ... Read more

Denshattack! review

What do Jet Set Radio, the PS1-era Tony Hawk's games, Hi-Fi Rush, and OlliOlli all have in common? Well, aside from being clear influences on Denshattack!, they are all cult classics: games that remain relevant, popular, and influential way beyond their respective eras. And it looks like they've got another stablemate in Undercoders' unlikely arcade grind-'em-up. Because this game is incredible. Read more Read more

People who wash a mug the moment they set it down aren’t tidier by nature — they’ve figured out, often without articulating it, that some small tasks get heavier the longer you leave them alone

Washing a mug the moment you set it down isn't about tidiness — it's a small, repeatable act of self-management that hijacks the brain's avoidance circuitry before it has a chance to fire. The psychology of why the tiniest completions carry disproportionate weight. Read more

In 1859, a solar storm now called the Carrington Event pushed auroras as far south as Cuba and induced currents so strong in North American telegraph lines that operators disconnected their batteries and kept sending messages using only the electricity coming out of the sky

On September 1, 1859, a solar flare witnessed by Richard Carrington triggered a geomagnetic storm so powerful it lit up the tropics with auroras and let North American telegraph operators send messages using only current induced by the sky. Read more

When British firms trialled a four-day week for the same pay, the real surprise was not output but the people: burnout fell for 71 percent of staff, and nearly nine in ten companies kept the shorter week long after the trial ended

In Britain’s biggest four-day-week trial, 71 percent of employees said they felt less burnt out by the end. That figure, not anything about profit or output, is the one that stands out. Whether the shorter week would hurt productivity had a fairly predictable answer. What it would do to people did not. We are writers ... Read more Read more

By a new Microsoft tally, a worker is interrupted every two minutes of the working day — around 275 times — as after-hours pings and meetings past eight in the evening keep climbing, blurring the line between work and rest

One number from Microsoft’s June report spread fast: 275. That is how many times, on average, a worker gets interrupted in a day by a meeting, an email, or a chat notification. Spread across normal work hours, that works out to an interruption roughly every two minutes. The figure came from Microsoft’s WorkLab, which published ... Read more Read more
