Here are today’s 5 Things You Need To Know

1. Accusations, tears and rants were present when a  group of social media bigwigs was grilled by Congress on Wednesday about the risks their products pose to young people. META man, Mark Zuckerberg, accused of having blood on his hands, apologized to familes of children who were harmed and sometimes killed directly or indirectly by the use of social media.

2. Current sales of the controversial Alzheimer’s treatment Aducanumab will be discontinued, and further development halted, biotechnology firm Biogen said yesterday. The drug’s approval in 2021 drew scrutiny over claims there was little evidence it improved outcomes for patients.

3. Kansas has quietly become the 11th most favored state that people are relocating to.  This means that despite it also ranking pretty high on people leaving, once the math is done, Kansas grew in population by 26,000.  That’s almost 2 sold out shows at Intrust Bank Arena.

4. Quite honestly, I’m surprised it hasn’t happend sooner. Universal Music Group—the world’s largest music company representing artists including Taylor Swift, Drake, Adele, and BTS—has announced it will no longer license music to social video platform TikTok.

5. And if you’re looking to end your relationship and want to do it with cookies before Valentine’s Day, now you can.  Insomnia Cookies is releasing message boxes filled with cookies and messages like  “It’s not me, it’s you,” “You’re sweet, but not my taste,” “Have the hots for your roommate,” and “We’re done. Have a nice life.” Insomnia said in a press release that the cookie delivery messaging is a “very unserious way of ending things, since warm cookies [are] better than a cold heart.”

and THAT’S TRENDING
