Screenshot of text from clevelandclinic.org which reads: How can I reduce my cortisol levels? If you have Cushing syndrome, you’ll need medical treatment to lower your cortisol levels. Treatment usually involves medication and/or surgery. In general, though, there are several ways to help lower your cortisol levels, including: - Get quality sleep. Chronic sleep issues, like insomnia or working a night shift, can cause higher cortisol levels. - Move your body. Regular physical activity helps improve sleep quality and reduce stress. - Practice deep breathing exercises. Controlled breathing helps stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, your “rest and digest” system. This helps lower cortisol levels. - Enjoy yourself and laugh. Laughing promotes the release of endorphins and suppresses cortisol. Participating in fun activities can also promote feelings of well-being. - Maintain healthy relationships. Having tense and unhealthy relationships can cause frequent stress. End description.

Screenshot of the linked article. Text reads: “Part of what keeps us sane is other people’s perspectives, which are often in tension with ours,” says Carissa Véliz, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Oxford’s Institute for Ethics in AI. “When you say something questionable, others will challenge you, ask questions, defy you. It can be annoying, but it keeps us tied to reality, and it is the basis of a healthy democratic citizenry. Truth is intersubjective, meaning that we need other people — their testimony, their experiences, their rationality — to be well informed. And chatbots are not people. They don’t have experience. They are not witness. They are fancy wordplay.” End description.

Deportations have thinned fields and stripped farms of undocumented workers, who “overwhelmingly” make up the agricultural workforce. At the same time, new tariffs on staples like tomatoes, coffee, and orange juice are pushing up costs on imports, leaving few affordable alternatives."
