music psychology

Today, U.S. senators grilled the CEOs of Meta, TikTok, X and other social media companies on online child safety. And while there’s lots of blame to go around, aren’t lawmakers responsible for making laws to protect kids? Get ready for a Kai rant. Plus, how the system we use to pick presidential candidates has fallen apart. And a new discovery on the power of music!

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• • “Social Media Company CEOs Testify on Online Child Sexual Exploitation” from C-SPAN

• • “The Real Reason We’re Stuck with Trump v. Biden” from Politico

• • “Did a Young Democratic Activist in 1968 Pave the Way for Donald Trump?” from Politico

• • “Music found to cause similar emotions and bodily sensations across cultures” from Phys.org

• • “Bodily maps of musical sensations across cultures” from PNAS
