Taylor Swift disabled Instagram comments 10 years ago and never looked back. Should you?
Taylor Swift is bejeweled — with gems of "energy," that is. On the Aug. 13 episode of the Kelce brothers' "New Heights" podcast, Swift gave some advice to listeners, saying they should consider their attention to be a precious commodity and not place a lot of importance on interactions that don't serve their well-being. "You should think of your energy as if it's expensive, as if it's a luxury item," Swift said. "Not everyone can afford it. Not everyone has invested in you in order to be able to have the capital for you to care about this. What you spend your energy on, that's the day." Protecting her diamonds of energy is a reason why she disabled Instagram comments about 10 years ago — and doesn't "miss" being online. "I do detach from the internet in a huge way," she said during the episode, in which she announced her 12th studio album "The Life of a Showgirl" set to release Oct. 3. While her high-profile relationship and career are all over headlines and social media, Swift said she's reached a point of balance and grown a tough skin: "I've been able to mediate a really healthy relationship with not seeing a whole lot." So rather than miss out on what could be a good day to "obsession" over one person calling you "mid" in the comments, the pop star said we should tune it all out. "We're in the era of distraction," says digital wellness expert Mark Ostach. "Taylor is modeling a great digital wellness practice ... realizing your purpose in life doesn't come from the impressions you get online. Your identity and worth isn't rooted in how many followers you have." Is it time to take Taylor's advice? Here's how to tell if you need to take a step back from social media — and how to do it. Protecting 'diamonds' of energy Swift shared sage advice for when to know it's time to step away from digital discourse. "If your algorithm is giving you either criticisms of yourself or adulation or praise you're creating an ecosystem in which you're the center piece of the table," she said. "I just don't think that's healthy." Many of us struggle from this "post-traumatic scroll disorder," Ostach says. The endless digital diet we consume overwhelms us with fear or anxiety from the second we wake up. As a first step to disrupt this cycle, Ostach recommends we turn off comments, keep our phones out of site, block apps or set time constraints for social media. "When we're customizing our mood based on the moment we're scrolling, we're susceptible to insecurities, self-esteem issues or lacking motivation," he says. Swift has been vocal about her struggle balancing mental health with her public persona. On the podcast, she said "The Life of a Showgirl" will peel back the curtain on how she really felt while performing the epic 149-show Eras Tour before sold-out crowds. Swift has learned to separate the noise from the music. Anything online that doesn't serve her is "not my business." These boundaries fuel Swift's creativity, Ostach says. "When you are looking to modify behavior, be it smoking or scrolling, you need to replace it with something," Ostach says. In the way that Taylor puts pen to paper or attends Chiefs' games with friends, we should find intentional actions outside the ecosystem of comparison, Ostach says. "Those will rejuvante your mind body and spirit," he says. "What you bring into the world is the light of what you've done in your dark space (offline)." While not all of us are pop stars with microscopic attention on our lives, it's easy for anyone to fall into favoring social media over real relationships. If people in your life complain you're too online, or your focus on being loved online outshines real connection, that's a sign to step away, Ostach says. To get find genuine connection, he suggests we ask "how are you"? and actually pause for a response. Or swap DMing posts to friends for a walk together outside. Smell, hear and feel the nature around you in that moment. Swift said she prioritizes connections with boyfriend Travis Kelce and their hobbies, from her obsession with sourdough creations to his love for wild otters. Their own intimacy defines the relationship, not the projections online. "Can you imagine if we just talked about what people said about our relationship?" she said on the podcast. "If we talked about that, that would be all we talked about because there's so much chatter. We're busy having an actual relationship."

The Glen Canyon Dam largely supplies power to people in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming and New Mexico. A USBR spokesperson previously told Newsweek: "Reclamation continues to closely monitor hydrologic conditions in the Colorado River. We are proactively working with our partners to ensure readiness if drought response actions are needed." They added: "Projections beyond the 2026 operating years for Lake Powell (water year) and Lake Mead (calendar year) assume a continuation of current guidelines, which are expected to change through ongoing development of post-2026 guidelines."

Instagram's @californiagoesred shared: "Still blows my mind that the water level is that low. Quite a difference from where it was when I was growing up." X's @theman7117 chimed in: "Awesome. Water levels are back up? It was touch and go there for a while. My favorite lake."

Chelsea players to donate portion of Club World Cup winnings to family of Diogo Jota and André Silva
Chelsea players have decided to donate a portion of their Club World Cup bonuses to the family of Diogo Jota and André Silva, according to The Athletic. Jota and Silva were killed in a July car crash in Spain. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The decision, made jointly between the players and the club, will see a $15.5 million fund distributed equally among the players with an equal payment made to Jota's family. According to The Athletic, "the overall value of each portion tallies more than $500k before it's subjected to currency conversion costs from US dollars into UK pound sterling, alongside relevant employer costs, taxes and social security costs." Pedro Neto, who was teammates with Jota with Portugal and Wolverhampton Wanderers, signed with Chelsea in 2024. Chelsea won the expanded FIFA tournament last month after beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The team's run in the event brought in an estimated $114.6 million to the club. Tributes to continue for Jota, Silva The soccer world began paying tribute to the brothers following their tragic deaths in early July. Moments of silence were held at matches, including the Women's EUROs and Club World Cup. Other tributes were seen at Oasis' first reunion concert in Wales and by players around the world performing Jota's video game celebration. Ahead of Friday's Premier League opener against Bournemouth, Liverpool have announced they will dedicate the cover of its match day program to Jota, who played 123 times for the club, and Silva. All players across the league will wear black arms bands this weekend and will take part in a moment of silence. Jota will also be immortalized with a statue at Anfield, Liverpool's home ground, and players will wear a "Forever 20" emblem on their jerseys this season in reference to his number. The No. 20 has also been permanently retired by the club, the first time that honor has been bestowed on a former player in club history. Jota's death led to a poignant moment of silence at the Club World Cup match between Fluminense and Al-Hilal last week, as Al-Hilal defenders Rúben Neves and João Cancelo — two of Jota's Portugal teammates — became emotional. The next day, Neves and Cancelo flew back to Portugal for Jota's funeral, in which Neves served as a pallbearer.
