Scrolling through other people’s joyful social media feeds amplified my own grief and in the sadness I felt angry at others’ joy Doomscrolling is never a good idea. Stock image: Getty It was four days after Christmas. I was sitting in my car on Market Street in Listowel gesturing offensively at my phone. I had to remind myself I was in public. Like a fool with no attention span for anything except social media, I decided to scroll through Instagram. We were officially in the abhorrently weird limbo period between Christmas and New Year’s. Weeks were days, days were hours and hours were minutes. The only sweets left in the box of Celebrations were Bounties, a sign that the craic had well and truly left the festive period.

KNEC warns candidates, parents against WhatsApp scam offering to alter KCSE grades Amid rising anticipation for the 2025 KCSE results, candidates and parents are being targeted by scammers claiming they can manipulate scores for a fee. The fraudulent messages, circulating mainly on WhatsApp, promise improved grades in exchange for sensitive personal details and money, preying on anxious students and families. The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has issued a stern warning to candidates, parents and the public against falling for the scheme, stressing that no individual or group can alter national examination results. On Friday, KNEC flagged the viral WhatsApp message that falsely claims KCSE candidates can boost their grades in selected subjects by submitting personal details and contacting alleged agents. KNEC said the message exploits the anxiety surrounding the release of the 2025 KCSE results and wrongly insinuates the involvement of the Ministry of Education and KNEC officials. The scam instructs candidates to provide sensitive information, including their school name, official KNEC name, index number and subjects to be “fixed,” before urging them to initiate private contact on WhatsApp for the illicit service.

Summarize Next Article The feature is currently in the testing stage What's the story WhatsApp has released a new update for its Android app, version 2.26.1.18, through the Google Play Beta Program. The update is bringing a major new feature that allows users to filter and create custom text stickers. The feature is currently being rolled out to select beta testers and will be available to more users in the coming weeks. New sticker search experience The latest update also brings a new sticker search experience, with quick filters right inside the sticker section. These filters appear as simple labels like "Hi," "Haha," "Love," "Sad," "Wow," "Yay," and "Yes." Selecting a filter automatically adds the corresponding keyword to the sticker search bar, thus making it easier for users to start their search with just one tap. Enhanced functionality When a user selects one of these filters, WhatsApp automatically adds the corresponding keyword to the sticker search bar. This action triggers an immediate search for stickers associated with that word through predefined emoji mappings. Stickers created with matching emoji associations are more likely to appear in the results, making it easier for users to find what they're looking for. Broader search

The Scudder Falls Bridge. File photo. River-crossing commuters are ringing in the New Year with a toll hike as the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission increased prices Jan. 1. The new E-ZPass rate for Class 1 passenger vehicles (two axles and under eight feet high) increased by 50 cents to $2. The Toll-By-Plate rate for the same vehicle without E-ZPass rose by $2 to $5. For vehicles eight feet or above in height, the per-axle E-ZPass rate increased by $2 to $6.50. The corresponding Toll-By-Plate rate for these vehicles went up by $3 to $8 per axle. The commission operates eight toll bridges, including the Trenton-Morrisville (Route 1), Scudder Falls (I-295), and New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202) bridges in Bucks County, as well as the I-78, Easton-Phillipsburg, Portland-Columbia, Delaware Water Gap, and Milford-Montague bridges outside the county. Advertisements Tolls are collected by the commission on in the Pennsylvania-bound direction. Officials said E-ZPass remains the most frequently used payment method, and higher rates are charged for Toll-By-Plate customers due to the increased costs associated with identifying vehicle owners and mailing billings.

Florida Tech transfer Sara Batchadji has signed a scholarship agreement with the University of Iowa women’s soccer team, head coach Dave DiIanni announced Friday. IOWA CITY, Iowa – Florida Tech transfer Sara Batchadji has signed a scholarship agreement with the University of Iowa women’s soccer team, head coach Dave DiIanni announced Friday. Batchadji led Division II Florida Tech to its first national championship in program history in which she was named the United Soccer Coaches Women’s National Player of the Year at the Division II level in 2025. “Sara brings to us incredible athletic and technical ability,” said DiIanni. “She is calm and composed under pressure and can defend in space when isolated. We welcome her coming off a national championship season where she was rightfully honored as the national player of the year in division two. We look forward to welcoming Sara to our program. It’s a great match, she’s gotten better every season in college, and we develop players as good as anyone in the country.” In her junior campaign, Batchadji played in 26 matches earning 24 starts, totaling 2,120 minutes. She finished the 2025 season with five goals, 15 points, 57 shots, and 27 shots on goal.

Twitter, also called X, the social media network owned and constantly used by the world's richest man as well as virtually every powerful person in the American tech industry, and on which the vast preponderance of national political figures also maintain active accounts, has a sexual harassment and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) problem. This has been true more or less since Elon Musk took it over, but this problem's latest and most repellent efflorescence is the result of one of Musk's signature additions as owner. Grok, the network's embedded AI chatbot, will—or would, as recently as yesterday, and certainly did many, many times—generate graphically sexualized images of real people, including minors and non-consenting third parties, in response to any user's request. Another Twitter feature bearing Elon Musk's fingerprints is that the site filled with the kind of people who, when a photograph of a 14-year-old TV actress appears on their timeline, will ask Grok to generate an image of her without clothes on. As a result, for much of this week Twitter has been rife with AI-generated revenge porn, deepfake celebrity porn, and CSAM. This makes a hideous counterpoint to the national media's recent fascination with the Jeffrey Epstein
