A new data study released today ranked U.S. states based on the likelihood of being abducted by aliens. New Hampshire took the #1 spot (lock your doors!),
followed by Idaho, Vermont, Maine, and Oregon.
New Mexico surprisingly came in dead last, even with Area 51.

Data from early 2026 shows "Dry January" is being replaced by the "Damp Lifestyle." Instead of total abstinence, consumers are flocking to "social tonics"—THC and botanical-infused beverages that offer relaxation without the hangover. It turns out people don't want to stop socializing; they just want to stop feeling terrible the next morning.

Instead of flashy announcements, the "Quiet Win" trend is taking over. It’s all about celebrating low-key victories—like a cleared inbox (hahaha..what's that?) or a finished project—without the dramatic music or victory lap. It’s a calmer, humbler way of sharing progress that is landing really well with audiences tired of the "shouting" culture of 2025.
