Safa Arshadullah, Behavioural Analyst, Canvas8As with many trends that start on TikTok, de-influencing has spread like wildfire and sparked a conversation about the decline of influencers. In the beginning, de-influencing challenged the typical sponsored content that audiences are so used to seeing – particularly in the beauty space. Influencers took to their platforms to explain that certain viral cosmetics aren’t worth the purchase. Even regular people challenged the traditional influencer-to-consumer model by posting their hot takes on social media. De-influencing is the natural evolution of the ‘empties’ trend, where influencers share empty containers to recommend the products they found most and least value in. With the cost of living crisis looming over people’s everyday lives, shopping based on viral recommendations no longer makes sense for many, they need to know that there is substance behind the hype. And with people looking for savings wherever they can find them, influe...Through October 6th-8th Sheila Darcey Takes Over theART-Dept.

By Jack Forrest and Piper Hudspeth Blackburn | CNNFollowing Kevin McCarthy’s historic ouster as House speaker, names have started to emerge as possible successors to take over the gavel.With McCarthy announcing Tuesday night he will not be running for the speakership, the race is already underway.There is no clear alternative to McCarthy who would have the support needed to win – any speaker hopefuls will need to find 218 votes, or the majority of lawmakers present and voting.Some of the names being floated for the open role also emerged in January as hardline conservatives looked to block McCarthy from taking the gavel after the GOP won the House. While McCarthy ultimately won the fight, Tuesday’s ouster offers the opportunity for fresh consideration of candidates.Here’s a look at his potential replacements:Jim JordanRep.

By Christina Larson | Associated PressThe world’s frogs, salamanders, newts and other amphibians remain in serious trouble.A new global assessment has found that 41% of amphibian species that scientists have studied are threatened with extinction, meaning they are either vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered. That’s up from 39% reported in the last assessment, in 2004.“Amphibians are the world’s most threatened animals,” said Duke University’s Junjie Yao, a frog researcher who was not involved in the study. “Their unique biology and permeable skin make them very sensitive to environmental changes.”The study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, found that the loss of habitat from the expansion of farming and ranching is the single biggest threat to amphibians worldwide. But a growing percentage of amphibian species are now also pushed to the brink by novel diseases and climate change, the study found.Amphibians are espe...San Jose BART extension will be further delayed and cost more
