Using data from the long-running Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study, which has followed more than 5,000 adults across the U.S. over the past 35 years, researchers found that individuals whose cardiovascular health declined between their 20s and 40s were up to ten times more likely to develop heart disease by their 60s than those who maintained or improved their heart health. The study's results are published in JAMA Network Open.

It shows up in songs, films, ads, social-media posts-but it says more about Americans' idealization of youth than it does about what it actually feels like to be young today. The 2024 World Happiness Report found that when American adults were asked to rate the extent to which they were living their "best possible life," those over 60 answered the most positively, followed by 45-to-59-year-olds. People younger than 30 trailed behind.

In the second episode, Rachel Sennott's Maia and Odessa A'zion's Tallulah meet with the latter's rival from New York, a polished blonde influencer who claims Tallulah stole her Balenciaga bag. The visit is meant to mend fences; naturally, it devolves into a cocaine-fueled nightmare caught on video. The footage leaks online, and Maia's gentle teacher boyfriend, Dylan (Josh Hutcherson), learns his coke-snorting face has become a meme, "Coke Larry," while chaperoning the school carnival.
