Welcome to 5 Things PM! Apparently, the most competitive game of Ultimate Frisbee is played by nuns. The internet can’t stop watching these sisters talk about normal stuff.
Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day.
5 things
1⃣ Financial strain
Geopolitical tensions are rippling through America’s housing market, and homebuyers are feeling the pain. The average mortgage rate climbed to its highest level in nearly a year after new strikes in Iran.
2⃣ Political failure?
President Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to produce an Iran deal better than Barack Obama’s 2015 agreement. CNN’s Aaron Blake explains why a majority of Americans doubt him.
3⃣ Disturbing deepfakes
Elon Musk’s xAI sued a South Carolina man after he allegedly used the Grok chatbot to create child sexual abuse materials. It’s one of the first tech company lawsuits against users accused of making explicit content.
4⃣ Brain damage
Football isn’t the only sport with potentially negative neurological impacts. New research shows another popular activity does too — but that doesn’t mean your kids shouldn’t play.
5⃣ ‘Sex pass’
If you could actually sleep with your celebrity crush, would you? A new comedy, starring Zoey Deutch, explores the ups and downs of turning that fantasy into reality — and it might just be a recipe for disaster.
