Psychological response to neutral fatigue drives color theory experimentation, modular pigments over standardized perfection.
Cultural shift challenges fitness industry’s aesthetic health narrative with functional fitness, body neutrality gaining engagement metrics.

Habit stacking, emotional resilience tracking replace gym selfies, detox cycles as sustainable well-being becomes resistance against burnout culture.
Training stays centralised, inference decentralises to devices/edge for latency, privacy, cost reasons—cloud demoted from emperor to infrastructure.
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: Some characters age. Some franchises retire with dignity. And then there’s SpongeBob SquarePants — a porous yellow optimist who has outlived formats, platforms, cultural cycles, and several generations of irony. The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, arriving as a global box-office conversation in late 2025 and early 2026, is not a nostalgia accident. It’s a strategy. A loud, bubble-blowing, slightly unhinged strategy that primarily works — and occasionally reminds us why not every childhood memory needs a cinematic rescue mission. The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants has crossed its first significant global box-office milestone this weekend,…
