Pew: 60% of U.S. Twitter users have ‘taken a break’ from the platform in the past year
A new study by Pew Research Center paints a picture of a pause in Twitter usage by U.S. adults, but the data doesn’t necessarily point the finger at Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media platform as the source of the blame. Instead, Pew’s survey of U.S. adults, which was conducted over a week in […]

Watch as flexible locksmith shows off superhuman powers to break into his van – and everyone’s saying same thing
A FLEXIBLE locksmith has shown off his superhuman powers to break into his van – and everyone’s saying the same thing.
Nimble tradesman Liam was filmed wriggling into the back of the Ford Transit by his colleague Hannah, who posted the clip to TikTok.
The keys had been locked in the back of the transit with slam-lock on – meaning he couldn’t open it.
Hannah wrote: “Liam the locksmith used his talents to retrieve [the keys],” alongside two crying with laughter emojis.
The lad was filmed lifting up the van’s front passenger seat, before stepping over it and anchoring his legs on the driver’s seat.
The locksmith then lowered himself headfirst into the space beneath the opened passenger seat.
After worming his way down the gap, half of his body disappeared with only his legs sticking out.
Viewers were left shocked when he slid even further down to completely vanish under the passenger seat, before emerging out of the back of the van.
The video posted by @autokeychase quickly racked up a whopping 148.3k likes and over 2480 comments from stunned followers who were all left saying the same thing.
One wrote: “My claustrophobia would never allow me to do this”.
Another added: “I had a panic attack just watching this.”
One chimed in: “That is beyond terrifying. I can cope fine in small spaces but that is literally my nightmare”.
A fourth said: “Caught second-hand claustrophobia”.
A fifth commented: “My anxiety is through the roof.”
One viewer even suggested that Liam goes on Britain’s Got Talent after he showed off his flexible skills on TikTok.
“Is that elastic man?,” joked another follower.
Other viewers were quick to explain that the transit van’s model has a button in the front to release back doors – but they still praised Liam’s bizarre talent.
This comes after a mesmerising video clip of a worker perfectly painting a sign on a road left viewers gobsmacked and all saying the same thing.
The man carefully paints out ‘BUS’ in the short clip posted on Twitter with people declaring him an “artist”.
People have lauded the worker online with comments including “genius”, “an artist for sure”, “superb craftmanship” and “now that’s what we should call skilled labour”.
And pranksters claim they were left stunned when they pretended to be criminals trying to offload a blood-splattered hatchback to a well-known motors firm.
The viral video left people shocked at the dealers cryptic responses after the pranking pair were given a quote of £196.

Ocean Temperatures Break Records. Scientists are Alarmed
Ocean surface heat is at record-breaking levels. Temperatures began climbing in mid-March and skyrocketed over the course of several weeks, leaving scientists scrambling to figure out exactly why.
Temperatures have fallen since their peak in April — as they naturally do in the spring — but they are still higher than they have ever been on record for this time of year…. The record may not seem huge — it’s nearly two-tenths of a degree higher than the previous record in 2016 — but given how much heat is needed to warm up this huge body of water, “it’s a massive amount of energy,” Matthew England, professor of ocean and climate dynamics at the University of New South Wales, Australia, told CNN… Some scientists are concerned the scale of these new records could mark the start of an alarming trend. Others say record-breaking temperatures like these are always concerning but to be expected given the human-caused climate crisis.
All agree the consequences are likely to be significant. Warmer oceans bleach coral, kill marine life, increase sea level rise and make the ocean less efficient at absorbing planet-warming pollution — the warmer oceans get, the more the planet will heat.
The science leader at the British Antarctic Survey told CNN that “it’s probably too early” to blame El Niño.” In fact, the world just emerged from a 3-year La Niña cooling event in March. So instead, CNN gets a different explanation fro Gregory C. Johnson, an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:
“It’s a little bit like we’ve had the freezer door open for a while and it’s helped to cool the planet,” Johnson said. But even while that freezer has been open, background temperatures have continued to rise. Now the freezer is closed, everything is hotter than before.
Later CNN adds that some scientists are concerned “climate change might be progressing in ways climate models have not predicted.”
One surprising reason could be the reduction of aerosols in the atmosphere. In 2020, regulations were introduced to limit the amount of sulfur in the fuel ships used — a policy aimed at addressing air pollution. Though air pollution has a significant impact on human health, it also acts as an artificial sunscreen and reflects sunlight away from the Earth. One theory is the absence of aerosols may have turned up the heat, said Karina von Schuckmann [an oceanographer at Mercator Ocean International in France].
