⚡️ US Senate passes spending bill to stave off government shutdown, measure sent to Biden
Meghan Markle won the latest phase in her litigation against a leading UK press group to protect her privacy, amid the publication by various newspapers of a personal letter she wrote to her father in 2018.
In a statement, the Duchess of Sussex celebrated her triumph, in an unprecedented process for the British monarchy, which often tries to avoid the courts.
🗣 "This is a victory not just for me, but for anyone who has been afraid to stand up for what is right," said Markle, who believes that the precedent will serve to dampen British tabloid culture which is conditioned "to be cruel and take advantage of the lies and the pain” it commonly spreads.

🐱 Scared of misinformation? Beware of... cute cats, The New York Times warns
As an ultimate lure for clicks and reactions, pictures, GIFs, and videos of adorable animals are understandably one of the digital media outlets' favourite tools to lure in readers. However, The NYT points specifically at "people and organisations peddling false information online."
The outlet acknowledges that "the posts with the animals do not directly spread false information" (thank God!) and asserts that the huge traffic they draw can ensnare the unsuspecting users in "a publication or site spreading false information about election fraud, unproven coronavirus cures and other baseless conspiracy theories entirely unrelated to the videos."

🤯 Scientists from the University of California-Riverside are attempting to study Alzheimer's disease from a different perspective, and it seems they may have discovered its potential cause, according to new research. 🔬
It appears that a form of unhealthy buildup in the brain may be connected with a slowdown in the ability of cells to "clean themselves". The speed of clearing proteins - called ‘autophagy’ - tends to lessen in those above age 65. It is not understood why, but the California-based scientists plan to study the issue.
Purpose-built drugs are now being tested that are hoped will improve the process of autophagy. Along with proper diet and new medications, humanity may hope to eventually dodge the debilitating effects of Alzheimer's.
