Recently, a man made headlines for carrying a gas gun in Taipei and imitating gestures from the anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen.' Such behavior raises concerns about potential anxiety and loss of control. Psychiatrists suggest that excessive interest in anime can lead to social isolation, behavioral issues, and academic/work performance decline. To prevent youth from becoming addicted to online anime, parents are advised to set clear rules and time limits, provide alternative activities, engage in their children's interests, educate on the importance of moderate technology use, encourage social interaction, establish family internet use agreements, monitor online activities, and offer support and understanding if addiction signs are present.

As the US presidential election heats up, former President Donald Trump, known for his tough stance on immigration, surprisingly suggested that foreign students graduating from American universities should automatically obtain green cards to stay and contribute their knowledge in the US. Current President Joe Biden leads in the latest poll with 50% support, ahead of Trump's 48%, marking Biden's first lead over Trump since October last year. Trump's proposal to grant green cards to foreign students upon graduation contrasts his past hardline stance on immigration but his campaign team emphasized that only the top graduates contributing significantly to the US would qualify after passing the strictest vetting process in American history.

Sales of existing homes in the US dropped for a third consecutive month in May, with prices setting a new record, indicating ongoing affordability challenges. Contract closings decreased by 0.7% to a 4.11 million annualized rate, driven by a decline in the South.
