✈️📈Airline fares have jumped 47% since January and remain higher than they were before the pandemic, which could be leading to a slowdown in the number of seats airlines can sell.
Bookings for flights within the United States fell 2.3% in May compared with April, research firm Adobe Digital Insights said Tuesday. The value of those sales rose 6%, however, to $8.3 billion, because of price increases.
Prices for U.S. flights in May were 30% higher than the same month in 2019 – the fourth straight month in which fares topped pre-pandemic levels. Prices were up 6% in May compared to April, according to Adobe, which based numbers on transactions at six of the largest 10 U.S. dollars. airlines.

📈📉U.S. stocks on Monday officially closed in a bear market, with the S&P 500 falling 22% below its January record high. Even after this drawdown, experts believe this downward volatility hasn't come to an end.
“U.S. stockpiles have suffered their biggest year-to-date losses since at least the 1960s. That’s ignited calls to ‘buy the dip,’” Wei Li, BlackRock Investment Institute global chief investment strategist, wrote in a note Monday. “We pass, for now.”
In the meantime, the investors ready for a buying opportunity to emerge in these volatile markets may need to keep waiting and waiting.

❇️New York bolstered legal protections Monday for those seeking and those providing abortions in the state to become a national "safe harbor" ahead of a Supreme Court decision that could see the federal right to abortion overturned.
Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed to protect abortion access for all after signing a six-bill package including measures aimed at protecting abortion seekers and providers from out-of-state legal actions.
"Reproductive rights are human rights, and today we are signing landmark legislation to protect further them and all who wish to access them in New York State," Hochul, a Democrat, said in a statement.

😭😰A young boy died after getting stuck between a dryer and washing machine while playing hide and seek. Authorities rushed to his grandparents’ home on Friday evening after the child, aged between eight and ten, became trapped.
Thomas County Sheriff’s Office Captain Tim Watkins said it is believed the little boy, who is originally from Jewett in Texas, was trying to hide behind the appliances when he got stuck between them. After looking for him for about five to ten minutes, the family discovered him and immediately began performing CPR, as reported by WCTV.
The little boy became responsive, albeit briefly before he lost consciousness again. He was transported to a local area, where he was pronounced dead.

🇮🇹🇺🇸Mexico should accelerate its efforts to help tackle global warming, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said on Tuesday after a meeting with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
"We stress today the urgency of moving faster," Kerry said, stressing Mexico's responsibility as the 15th largest economy in the world, as well as highlighting its abundance in natural resources to create and export clean energy.
This is expected to include increasing solar energy projects at the state energy company (COMFEL.UL) alongside the private sector, enhancing electric mobility, and capturing methane gas.

😳❌The U.S. government and Fisher-Price are warning parents not to put their kids to sleep in a number of newborn and toddler rockers after at least 13 deaths linked to the products.
The 13 deaths occurred between 2009 and 2021, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The deaths occurred with the Infant-to-Toddler and Newborn-to-Toddler rockers manufactured by Fisher-Price.
The company has sold more than 17 million of its rockers across the globe since the 1990s. No recall has been issued for the rockers linked to the 13 deaths. Parents and caregivers should always try to lay an infant down to sleep on a firm, flat surface, preferably in a crib, bassinet, or play yard. Inclined resting locations, such as rockers and swings, should not be used, the CPSC warned.

📲Elon Musk will address Twitter employees Thursday for the first time since the billionaire and Tesla CEO offered $44 billion to buy the social media platform, the company said Tuesday.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal announced an all-hands meeting to employees in an email on Monday, saying they'd be able to submit questions in advance.
Musk reached a deal to acquire Twitter in April, but he has repeatedly clashed with the company over the number of bots, or fake accounts, that exist on the social media platform. Musk said he was putting the deal on hold on May 13, saying he needed more data about those bot accounts from the company. It's unclear if this week's meeting means that the two sides have come closer together to resolve those issues.

😻😼🙀According to a research group in Japan, when a cat chews on catnip (Nepeta cataria) or silver vine (Actinidia polygama), iridoids, are a group of secondary metabolites found in many plants, are produced, which repel arthropods.
The researchers found that whenever these plants are damaged, the amount of iridoid (insect repellent) produced increases. In fact, once damaged, the leaves emitted 20 times more iridoids into the air compared to when they were left untouched.
Cats will get cozy with the plants, rubbing and rolling themselves against the leaves in order to spread the insect repellent all over themselves, which helps them survive in the great outdoors.

🗯 “We do not support those who believe that the 2nd amendment gives them the right to buy assault weapons,” Kim Sill, owner of the Shelter Hope Pet Shop in Thousand Oaks, wrote on the organisation’s website. “If your beliefs are not in line with ours, we will not adopt a pet to you.”
