Everything Everywhere Daily - Punctuation Marks (Encore)

There was a time when languages had no punctuation. Not only did they not have punctuation, but they also didn’t even have spaces between words, and in some cases, they didn’t even use vowels. 

It was extremely confusing if you were trying to read something, so eventually, people began inserting marks and characters into text to make it easier to read. 

Learn more about punctuation marks and how and why they were developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What A Day - The Golden Globe Standard

The UN Climate Change Conference – known as COP28 – hit a major roadblock on Monday. There’s disagreement between countries because a potential deal stops short of a promise to phase out the use of fossil fuels.

The Golden Globes nominees were announced on Monday, but this is the first time the award ceremony will be run without the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The Association was dissolved, and a for-profit venture bought control over the awards. This year’s ceremony will be a case study in what these shows mean and their relevance in the industry.

And in headlines: a pregnant woman fled Texas to obtain an abortion shortly before the state’s Supreme Court reversed a ruling that permitted her one, the University of Nevada Las Vegas canceled its last week of classes in the wake of last week’s deadly campus shooting, and the feminist website Jezebel is back.

The Daily Signal - What’s Driving Gen Z’s Poor Mental Health? Psychologist Explains

No generation struggles with mental health more than Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012. 


Only 41% of Gen Z respondents said they're "thriving" in a Gallup and Walton Family Foundation poll released earlier this year and reported by CNN, but 60% of millennials surveyed said they were thriving when asked at the same age.


When questioned about their mental health and well-being, only 20 in every 100 Gen Zers say it is excellent. 


Clinical psychologist Chloe Carmichael says Gen Zers' mental health issues likely stem from multiple factors, such as “false social standards that social media creates [and] the stifling of free speech."


About the latter, Carmichael says that "as a clinical psychologist, I believe freedom of expression and being able to verbalize your thoughts is really good for your mental health.” 


The psychologist also points to “a decline in religiosity” among the young generation as a reason for growing depression and anxiety, as well as the extended period of social distancing and isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. 


Carmichael joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the factors that led to today's mental health crisis and what can be done to address such underlying causes. 


And with Christmas around the corner, Carmichael also offers some tips and tricks for how we all can navigate family and challenging relational dynamics over the holidays.  


Enjoy the show!

The Best One Yet - 👄 “SmileDirectFlub” — SmileDirectClub’s shutdown. Pinterest’s Trend Forecast. Shohei Ohtani’s $700M economy.

SmileDirectClub hit a $9B valuation by cutting out the dentalman… but it just shut down — The lesson? Some industries simply aren’t tech. And prob never will be.

Pinterest uses data to predict next years trends, and they’re right 80% of the time —  

The 2024 predictions say we’re not waiting for milestones, we’re celebrating inch-stones.

And Shohei Otani’s spot in the Dodgers lineup costs a record $700M — But the true value of Shohei Otani isn’t on the field, it’s in tourism. And Japan.
