👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Because of a weird glitch between the brain and the body, nearly one-third of people will experience sleep paralysis — making some see demons and witches. This is what you can do about it.
Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day:
1️⃣ High alert: Mountains are among the most beautiful places on Earth, but as the planet warms, these majestic landscapes are becoming much more unpredictable. The world isn’t prepared for the deadly consequences.
2️⃣ Protests in LA: To help quell ICE protests in Los Angeles, Donald Trump called in the National Guard — becoming the first president in about 60 years to do so without a request from a governor. The bar for “insurrection” appears quite different than it was on January 6, 2021. ➕ California plans to sue the Trump administration over the deployment.
3️⃣ Investment advice: Cryptocurrency has gained greater acceptance among regulators and large institutional investors, and it’s likely here to stay. With bitcoin now trading above $100,000, it may be worth revisiting whether this should be part of your portfolio.
4️⃣ Getting scrappy: The US Department of Agriculture estimates that 30–40% of the American food supply ends up in landfills. All that waste adds up quickly. A cook and author said families could save more than $1,000 a year if they have a plan.
5️⃣ ‘Liquid Glass’: Apple unveiled a new software design interface for the iPhone featuring see-through visuals that appear to have a glossy surface. These are the highlights from the Worldwide Developers Conference.
