The color yellow is gorgeous, eye-catching, and downright happy for most people. So much so that it's the main hue in the world-famous happy face—but science says it's not the best color to wear on a date.

Too much news isn't good for us. Social media can have a negative effect on mental health. If we lose trust completely in experts, the alternative is worse. Just as overeating can harm you, consuming too much news can cause psychological distress. The news, after all, is constructed around events that capture our attention—the graphic, the tragic, the threatening. As I used to tell my students in my media ethics classes, much of the news is guided by the aphorism: If it bleeds, it leads. Stories of kindness and generosity may be edged into the news cycle, but the headline stories are ones that are the opposite. The main stories are about crime, natural disasters, corruption, and conflicts.

Violence and the transmission of violence itself are the problem. An active program of non-violence, in speech and deed, is the solution.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

We all have a "shadow self," or a darker side, as first noted by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. The shadow aspect in us evinces itself in dichotomized psycho-intensive states of activation. Crude jokes, retaliatory jealousy, anger, and vengeful thoughts are just a few examples of the shadow in you.
