📰 EXTRA, EXTRA - READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Apparently, people are having Ozempic babies……

I can explain!!

So Ozempic is a brand name for ‘semaglutide’ (bruh, how do you even pronounce that?), and it is a drug originally created to treat type 2 diabetes. One of its many side effects is its ability to suppress appetite and as a result, has grown in popularity over the last year as a weight-loss drug and surprise-surprise; is the ‘wonder drug‘ responsible for dramatic weight loss you might have noticed with some of your favourite celebrities.

Dude get to the point 🙄

The drug has recently made headlines again because of another side effect - its ability to slow gastric emptying and in turn affect the absorption rate of other medications. One of those medications is oral contraceptives aka “The Pill“. According to the Daily Mail, a number of women on birth control have reported getting pregnant after starting Ozempic. As a matter of fact, there's even a Facebook group called ‘I got pregnant on Ozempic’ where users can share their experiences and seek/provide support.

It is worth noting that there is currently not enough medical research to draw a strong conclusion, but at the same time, there is also the fact that weight loss in itself can contribute to hormone imbalances which could also be another factor.

Here’s how you can get FREE books (FOR YOUR CHILD!!!🙄)

I was today years old when I found out you can actually get free books for your child (if you’ve got one of course 😅) from birth till they turn five. This is all thanks to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Yes, THE Dolly Parton.

So here is how it works: The program works in partnership with local affiliates and partners. These can be businesses, school districts, small or large organisations, or even individuals.

The local affiliates are tasked with enrolling children who live within the areas the program serves - USA, UK, Canada, Australia and Ireland. Every month, they post a book to every child that has been signed up, all free of charge.

The program has been running since 1995 and was set up as an initiative to “foster a love of reading among her county’s preschool children and their families”. Irrespective of their income.

El Salvador is opening its doors to “highly skilled” foreigners as they are now offering “free passports” to 5,000 people.

President Nayib Bukele made the announcement via a post on his X account

Citing scientists, engineers, doctors, artists, and philosophers will be granted “full citizen status” including voting rights. Participants will also receive relocation in the form of tax and tariff waivers on “moving families and assets”.

The program is in its early stages now and not much information has been provided on how exactly it will work and what the application process will entail, but we expect to see updates in the coming months.

ChatGPT gets a HUGE update

On Monday, OpenAI announced GPT-4o - a huge update to ChatGPT which makes it a LOT smarter and easier to use.

This is pretty exciting because going by the keynote presentation, GPT-4o will more or less turn ChatGPT into a supercharged digital sidekick, that you can have full-blown conversations with! This kind of reminds me of the movie HER!

You can also now interact using text and “vision,” meaning it can view screenshots, photos, documents or charts that you share and have a conversation with you about it, so you could technically get it to do your homework for you 😅

Something that really caught my attention was the preview of their integration with the Be My Eyes app - a mobile app that connects visually impaired people with volunteers around the world who can help with tasks such as identifying objects and more. Here’s how it works:

This version of ChatGPT will now also have the capability to remember and learn from previous conversations with you, and also do real-time translation as it now supports over 50 languages.

This update will be gradually rolled out over the coming weeks and unlike the previous GPT-4 model, the new GPT-4o will be available for free to all users as well as access to the GPT store.

🎁 LOOK WHAT I FOUND

  • Dupe - If you’re an interior decor nerd like me you probably know the struggle of stumbling on the coolest accessory for your lounge only to find out that it costs an arm and a kidney. Well, dupe helps with that. all you do is paste a link to the item into the search bar and it will send a bunch of creepy crawly spiders to scour the interwebs to find a similar item (or dupe lol) that costs way less.

  • OneTab - Answer honestly: How many tabs do you currently have open on your laptop? How does that one 21 Savage song go again? But yeah One tab helps you stash away your unused tabs into one page you can resist anytime you need to. This helps your computer use less RAM and in turn, helps speed up your computer a bit.
