Forget swiping right… A bizarre new AI-powered dating service is sweeping across California college campuses by replacing endless swiping with computer-generated matchmaking that promises to find students more compatible dates. Ditto, a startup founded in 2024 by former UC Berkeley students, is expanding rapidly after ditching the Tinder-style model in favor of an AI-driven system that pairs users based on their interests. Instead of scrolling through profiles, students complete a survey that allows the platform’s AI to determine their matches. New pairings are generated every Wednesday, giving matched students the chance to choose a time that works for both. The…

Meghan McCain issued a solemn tribute to late senator Lindsey Graham following his sudden death at 71. “The first time I met Lindsey Graham, I was 11 years old in a hotel lobby and he had just attended a political event with my dad,” Meghan, 41, wrote via X on Sunday, July 12, referring to her late father, John McCain, who died in 2018. “He sat down next to me and told me that he loved my dad. I remember liking his deep Southern accent and smile and immediately felt comfortable around him. He somehow seemed younger, hipper and more…

It was a “disaster” for Switzerland — and a lifeline for Argentina. Five minutes after Dan Ndoye’s equalizer for the Swiss on Saturday night, Breel Embolo was given a second yellow card for diving. The decision was made after an initial yellow card on Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes, with VAR intervening over an apparent case of “mistaken identity,” and referee Joao Pinheiro ultimately sent off Embolo for simulation. Despite a fairly obvious dive from Embolo, Switzerland players raged at the decision, which ultimately contributed to their 3-1 defeat in extra time. “It’s just a disaster,” Remo Freuler told reporters. “I…

Vito wants back in the thin club. “Sopranos” actor Joe Gannascoli is mirroring the healthy lifestyle his hefty mobster alter ego ended up embracing on the show — doing everything he can to whack his current extra pounds with a special fitness regimen and strict diet featuring made meals to get fit for an upcoming TV project. “I don’t actually like baby carrots,” the TV Mafia heavyweight recently quipped to The Post, referencing Vito’s hilarious stress-eating scene in the HBO hit’s final season, which included him posing for an ad for a weight-loss company, the Thin Club. At 67, the…

Families in a rich California enclave have claimed an extremely rare cancer has struck more people than first feared and that its root cause could be due to the rampant use of pesticides. Locals in Ladera Ranch, Orange County, have spent months raising concerns after at least six local children were diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a bone and soft tissue cancer that affects only about 200 to 240 children nationwide each year. Now, residents say their own investigation has uncovered what they believe is an unusually heavy use of pesticides and herbicides throughout the community and that more than 60…

There are many theories about what makes KFC’s signature fried-chicken menu item so “finger lickin’ good” — from the chain’s blend of herbs and spices to the chicken it uses and the breading technique it’s perfected.  One of the biggest reasons KFC’s chicken is legendary is that it’s cooked in commercial pressure fryers, according to The Takeout. The method cooks the chicken quickly, creating a crisp crust while keeping the meat juicy. KFC’s website says founder Colonel Harland Sanders spent nine years perfecting his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, along with the cooking technique the chain still uses today. The fast-food giant says…

Make it back to back for Jannik Sinner. The top-seeded 24-year-old Italian captured his second straight Wimbledon title Sunday afternoon, defeating No. 2 Alexander Zverev 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-4 in a nearly four-hour duel on Centre Court at the All England Club. The win gives Sinner five grand slam victories. It also turns around what had been a substandard year in the major tournaments after he reached the finals at all four in 2025, which included two wins. Sinner was ousted in the semifinals at this year’s Australian Open and fell in the second round at the French…

Women who use Depo-Provera face a higher risk of developing a slow-growing brain tumor, known as a meningioma, while the contraceptive’s maker, Pfizer, faces hundreds of lawsuits claiming that it was aware of the potential risks. The brand name for depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), Depo-Provera, contains the synthetic progestin hormone and is used by roughly 1 in 4 sexually active US women at some point. Now, more research has found other common hormonal birth control drugs that carry the same risk. Published in JAMA Network Open, researchers at the Danish Medicines Agency looked at 25 years of health data from around 3 million women.…

WASHINGTON — President Trump opened up about his final call with late Sen. Lindsey Graham in what “could have been minutes” before his death after returning from a trip overseas. Trump, 80, described Graham, 71, as “family” to him and said he was absolutely shocked by the senator’s abrupt passing. “What makes it even stranger is that I got a call last night, sometime [in] the early evening,” Trump recalled to NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday, indicating it may have been around 7 o’clock. “He said we’re all set for the SAVE America Act. He was pushing the SAVE America Act…
