Mets' Kodai Senga has another strong outing: ‘I still don't know'
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free DENVER — Kodai Senga paused as he grappled to answer the question. What worked best for him on this night? 'I still don't know,' the Mets right-hander said with a laugh after his team beat the Rockies 4-2 on Friday. There wasn't much to quibble with after Senga threw a career-high 109 pitches and held the Rockies to one run on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts over six innings. Mickey Moniak inflicted the only damage against Senga with a third-inning home run. Kodai Senga allowed just one run in six innings in the Mets' 4-2 win over the Rockies on June 6, 2025. AP Senga began the game with a 1.60 ERA and departed with a 1.59 ERA. '[Senga] is an ace-type outing every time he takes the baseball,' manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'I feel good with all our guys, too, but with Kodai, he continues to get better. I feel he's getting to a point now where, since first pitch, there is intensity there, the way the ball is coming out and he's using all his pitches.' Senga admitted that finishing the sixth was a challenge, given his pitch count. 'I did feel that, feel the pitch count,' Senga said. 'The movement on my pitches were not quite what I wanted, but I was able to grind it out and get through six.' Koda Senga delivers a pitch during the Mets' victory over the Rockies. Getty Images Sean Manaea threw 36 pitches over 1 ²/₃ innings in his first minor league rehab start, for Single-A Brooklyn. The left-hander allowed four runs, one unearned, on four hits with two strikeouts. It was the left-hander's first appearance in a game this season. He has been rehabbing an oblique strain since early in spring training. Brandon Nimmo, a Wyoming native who grew up attending games at Coors Field, entered play with a .365/.429/.525 slash line in 19 games in this ballpark. Friday was not a banner night for the left fielder, however, as Nimmo finished the win 0-for-5 with a strikeout.

TikTok, YouTube rack up views of AI-generated Pope sermons
AI-generated videos and audios of Pope Leo XIV are populating rapidly online, racking up views as platforms struggle to police them. An AFP investigation identified dozens of YouTube and TikTok pages that have been churning out AI-generated messages delivered in the pope's voice or otherwise attributed to him since he took charge of the Catholic Church last month. The hundreds of fabricated sermons and speeches, in English and Spanish, underscore how easily hoaxes created using artificial intelligence can elude detection and dupe viewers. "There's natural interest in what the new pope has to say, and people don't yet know his stance and style," said University of Washington professor emeritus Oren Etzioni, founder of a nonprofit focused on fighting deepfakes. "A perfect opportunity to sow mischief with AI-generated misinformation." After AFP presented YouTube with 26 channels posting predominantly AI-generated pope content, the platform terminated 16 of them for violating its policies against spam, deceptive practices and scams, and another for violating YouTube's terms of service. "We terminated several channels flagged to us by AFP for violating our Spam policies and Terms of Service," spokesperson Jack Malon said. TikTok similarly removed 11 accounts that AFP pointed out – with over 1.3 million combined followers – citing the platform's policies against impersonation, harmful misinformation and misleading AI-generated content of public figures. With names such as "Pope Leo XIV Vision," the social media pages portrayed the pontiff supposedly offering a flurry of warnings and lessons he never preached. But disclaimers annotating their use of AI were often hard to find – and sometimes nonexistent. On YouTube, a label demarcating "altered or synthetic content" is required for material that makes someone appear to say something they did not. But such disclosures only show up toward the bottom of each video's click-to-open description. A YouTube spokesperson said the company has since applied a more prominent label to some videos on the channels flagged by AFP that were not found to have violated the platform's guidelines. TikTok also requires creators to label posts sharing realistic AI-generated content, though several pope-centric videos went unmarked. A TikTok spokesperson said the company proactively removes policy-violating content and uses verified badges to signal authentic accounts. Brian Patrick Green, director of technology ethics at Santa Clara University, said the moderation difficulties are the result of rapid AI developments inspiring "chaotic uses of the technology." The AI-generated sermons not only "corrode the pope's moral authority" and "make whatever he actually says less believable," Green said, but could be harnessed "to build up trust around your channel before having the pope say something outrageous or politically expedient." afp

These 4 money habits can help you feel more secure, says this financial advisor
It's a tough world right now for young people trying to save money. Grocery prices and rents keep rising, and even fairly financially stable Gen Zers can feel hopeless and worse off than they truly are, thanks to " money dysmorphia." Many are "just trying to keep their head above water," Kate Norris, a certified financial planner at Sun Life, told Business Insider. "Sometimes at the end of the month, you've paid all the bills, the groceries, and there's not a lot left over," she said. "It is tough, I get it." Norris said there is a widespread lack of financial literacy among all generations, and not just Gen Z. When it comes to young people figuring out their future, she has these four key pieces of advice. 1. Pay yourself first Norris said her first piece of advice is to set up automatic payments to a savings account at the start of each month. "Once it's out of the account, you're less tempted to spend those surpluses," she said. "Don't overthink it — just get the money somewhere. You might need it in an emergency sooner than later." 2. Monitor your budget Norris said people of all ages can lose track of the money inflows and outflows to their accounts, which is why budgeting is essential. "You're like, oh, I budget $500 for groceries, and then it turns out it's $800, well, then we can't really do any cashflow planning or budgeting to know what's left over," she said. Many banks have services to help you budget, Norris said, and categorize your expenses, which can help you feel more in control. "Taking time to actually look at those three to six months of expenses and saying, Where is the money going? What am I spending?" Norris said. "Once you've created that habit early on, I think it sticks with you." 3. No unsustainable monthly payments Norris said it's a good idea to be very aware of consumer debt rather than just seeing it as a number you're disconnected from.

By continuing you agree that you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . People are drowning in car debt, for example, not realizing how much interest they are paying over time. "It's not just about your monthly payment — what is the debt? What does that debt mean for your net worth?" Norris said. "If you actually break it down, you could be spending $10,000 in that time period on interest." It's better to assess what the debt looks like over time for your long-term situation, rather than thinking about the individual monthly payments, Norris said. 4. Start small Many people struggle with delayed rewards, which can make saving money so difficult. "It's like we can't see that future we want, so we gratify ourselves now with what's in front of us," Norris said. "Or you set up Apple Pay and credit cards on your phone and it's just like tap, tap, tap." This is how people live beyond their means and fall further into debt, she said. You can take small steps toward being more frugal, and it starts with seeing your net worth grow, even if it's just by $100 per month. "This magic of compound interest and compounding growth says that if you just put $100 away today, that could be a huge amount at retirement," Norris said. "Versus if you start in 20 years from now, when you might have to save £1,000 a month." If you make these small changes, you can spend the rest of your paycheck "guilt-free," Norris said. "I think a lot of people are feeling a little bit in despair with the world and the interest rate and the economy. But our grandparents went through this, and it's a cycle, so keep pushing forward."

A 38-year-old woman who had gained weight from traveling lost 50 pounds in a year. She shared 5 easy ways she did it.
Helene Sula has lost 50 pounds since May 2024, mostly by walking, hiking, and tracking her meals. The travel content creator, 38, said she doesn't deprive herself of yummy food in foreign countries. Sula shared 5 ways she lost the weight and is keeping it off, even with the occasional indulgence. Helene Sula has visited 60 countries and hundreds of cities worldwide for her job as a content creator. As much as sightseeing is part of her job, so is trying new foods. After living in Heidelberg, Germany, for three years, she returned to her hometown, Dallas. Over time, she began to notice changes in her body. "I've always fluctuated, but I especially gained a ton of weight when I moved back to America," Sula, 38, told Business Insider. Her weight gain pushed her to reflect on her relationship with food, exercise, and travel. "Food is part of a cultural experience," Sula, who now lives in Montenegro, said. "When I travel to a new place, I want to try the food. But I had to reframe my mindset and make it my mission to realize that I can try the food — I just don't need to eat all of it right then and there." After a year of exercising and revamping her diet, Sula has lost 50 pounds — and gained a world of self-confidence. "I am a very positive and outgoing person, but I think over the years, that has gone away a bit because I've been embarrassed," she said. "I feel like I've finally gotten back to myself. It's been really nice." Here are 5 things Sula does to maintain her weight loss. 1. She tracks her meals on MyFitnessPal Sula used to eat fast food regularly and didn't pay a lot of attention to her portion sizes. "I'd eat a spoonful of peanut butter, and snacks like popcorn and chips straight out of the bag," she said. " I would never be mindful of how much I was eating or the portions. I didn't really think about that." Sula has become more mindful of her eating choices, attributing a big part of her weight loss success to portion control. "I thought I was eating healthy, but I was overeating," she said. "Now, instead of having three scoops of gelato, I have one." To monitor her food intake and ensure she's maintaining a calorie deficit, Sula uses meal tracker My Fitness Pal. It's available on iOS and Android and is free to use, though users, like Sula, can pay for a premium version. "I track breakfast first thing in the morning, and then, later in the day, I'll track what I eat for lunch and dinner," she said. The app has been a game changer in her fitness journey. "I don't try to be perfect with it — it's just a good tool to make sure that I'm staying on track," she added.

By continuing you agree that you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . 2. She doesn't turn down food, but she balances treats with other items Sula rarely stays in a city for more than a week. No matter where she is, she still tries to maintain a well-balanced diet. "My husband and I just went to Turkey," she said. "The food in Turkey is absolutely amazing. I still watched my portions, and definitely ate healthy when I could." For her, that means consuming enough protein, fiber, fruits, and vegetables throughout the day. Eggs: While getting certain foods can sometimes be difficult to find in other countries, there's one food she can always count on — eggs. "My No. 1 is eggs in the morning, I'll go for an omelet of sorts," she said. Fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots: Sula likes to shop at local markets and grocery stores with fresh produce. Deli meats: She can get most of her go-to snacks, like turkey slices and fresh vegetables, in pretty much every grocery store. "I prefer turkey, just because it's somewhat healthy," she said. "I'll go up to the deli counter in a grocery store and have them slice it for me." She'll typically eat four to six slices, paired with roasted vegetables and a piece of fruit. If she's on the go, she'll have a protein shake instead. Protein shakes: Not all protein brands are available abroad, so Sula isn't picky. "If I'm in the UK, I like to drink UFit, and if I'm in Montenegro, I'll drink Protein Zott," she said. 3. She keeps a grocery list in her phone that she can use in any store around the world A big part of eating healthy is balance — knowing when to indulge or abstain, Sula said. "If I know that I'm going to have an indulgent dinner, for lunch, I'll go to a grocery store and grab an apple, protein shake, some turkey, and some nuts," she said. According to her, this short grocery list is fairly affordable in most countries, typically costing about $6. To ensure she doesn't stray from the menu, Sula keeps a grocery list in her iPhone notes app. She said it's a great way to avoid overthinking and complicating her eating decisions. "Having a list of the foods that fill me up makes the rest of my day great," she said. "It takes the guesswork out of having to think so much about what to eat. I also don't get hangry." 4. She walks, hikes, and swims wherever she is Sula said that a lack of walking was one of the biggest contributors to her weight gain. "I went from living in Germany and walking or biking everywhere, to living in Dallas, where I wouldn't even dream of walking down to go to the grocery store," she said. Now, Sula tries to constantly be on the move. To help her maintain her steps and exercise, her husband, who has a Master's in exercise science, created a workout schedule that she uses even when she's traveling. While it can look different depending on what country she's in and what she's training for, it typically looks like this: Monday: An interval workout of a three-mile walk, alternating between two minutes of fast-paced walking and two minutes at a slower pace. Tuesday: Cross-training, which typically involves swimming Wednesday: Rest day Thursday: A nine-mile walk Friday: An eight-mile walk Saturday: Rest day or 12-mile walk Sunday: Rest day or 12-mile walk "My workout schedule is very flexible," she said. "I don't really go to the gym very often. I have weights that I use at home, and I watch YouTube workout videos." "If I'm somewhere for more than a week, I might go swimming, so I have to find a hotel gym," she added. Typically, it costs her around $5 per visit. Sula has also added long-distance hiking to her workout plan. In 2024, she walked England's Cotswold Way, a 100-mile trail of rolling hills, woodlands, and farmland that runs from Chipping Campden to Bath, about a two-hour drive southwest from London. The walk took her 10 days to complete. "It's my goal to walk everywhere we visit," she said. "I'm doing tons of walking in Montenegro. I've done a ton of walking in France. Germany is also really good for walking." 5. She doesn't shame herself for indulging occasionally or enjoying life Sula's weight-loss journey hasn't been perfect, and she does have a few regrets. "For a decade, I kept gaining and losing weight," she said. "I had an all-or-nothing mindset," she said. "I told myself, 'You need to eat healthy, and if you don't, then you ruined everything,' but that's just not real life." "You can still try all the different foods and drinks, and still enjoy life," she explained. "The same goes for exercise. Building yourself up physically and making small changes makes a world of difference." Sula's biggest recommendation for those trying to lose weight or better their health is to listen to their body. "I'm still on a weight loss journey, but I think my No. 1 goal is to really just listen to my body and how I feel," she said. "I realize that food doesn't go away — it's always going to be there. You can try it, but you don't need to eat 55 croissants when you're in France."

I felt like I was neglecting my baby by going to the office every day. I quit a job I loved and felt better almost immediately.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Sarah Hollingsworth. It has been edited for length and clarity. I was living in San Antonio, working for an IT company, and leading their global trade show teams. I had two promotions in four years and got to travel the world. I loved my job so much. Then I got pregnant with my first baby. By May 2019, I gave birth to my first daughter, AJ. Just after she was born, my husband got a job that relocated our family to Austin, a little over an hour away from the city I had lived in for nine years. I thought I would intrinsically know what to do with a baby, but it wasn't like that. I quickly discovered there were so many things I wasn't prepared for. Like when I brought AJ home for the first time, I was frantically crying and hysterical because I didn't have any newborn clothes. I didn't even know they existed. I want back to work after 3 months of maternity leave My husband took paternity leave, and my mother came to town to help me with the baby, but I was still struggling. Breastfeeding was very painful, and AJ was a horrible sleeper. My hormones were out of whack, my world had shifted, I was isolated in a new city, and small things would set me over the edge. Everything scared me. I don't remember feeling any joy as a new mom until AJ was 1. At the time, I convinced myself that how I was feeling was normal, but looking back, I was depressed. Looking back, I wish I had done this to identify that something was wrong. I wasn't even meeting my own self-care and basic needs. I had literally stopped brushing my teeth — that wasn't normal; it was a red flag. After three months of maternity leave, I went back to work. Remote working wasn't a thing at the time. I was expected to work from the office in San Antonio. I would wake up at 6 a.m. to get on the road by 7 a.m. in order to be at the shuttle stop by 7:35 a.m. I'd be at the office from 8:30 a.m., working all day until 3 p.m. I often pumped breast milk on the shuttle and at work. On the way home, I collected my daughter from day care and would have 30 minutes with her before putting her to sleep. I felt like I was neglecting my kid.

By continuing you agree that you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . I was afraid to tell people how I was feeling My body started to show signs of stress. I broke out in bumps and blisters all over my hands, melasma, and had severe Perioral Dermatitis on my face. It was humiliating to go to work. At my lowest point, in January 2020, I remember driving to work, because I had missed the shuttle, wondering what would happen if I hit the car in front of me. I didn't necessarily want to die, but I couldn't see a way out of the situation I was in. I felt desperate. No one at work knew what I was going through. One of my bosses didn't have kids, and my other boss had kids in high school. I had no idea how to broach that topic with either of them. I was afraid to tell my husband, friends, and family how I felt. I didn't want people to distrust me when I was around AJ. But after a week, I found the courage to tell my husband. His initial reaction was: "How can I help?" He found me a therapist, and we started having discussions about continuing to work in the corporate world. I literally felt like I was dying, going back and forth to the office every day. At the end of January 2020, I quit my job. Within three weeks, all of my postpartum symptoms and depression were alleviated. As I started to get better, I imagined a business I'd like to run — a baby registry complemented by content to support new mothers. When you're not in a good head space after having a baby, this platform could be a simplified destination where you could find information about preparing your mind and body to welcome a new baby into the house. I wanted to help women avoid getting caught off guard like I was. I desperately needed something like this, so I wanted to see if I could create it. I went on to create Poppylist. As much as I loved my corporate job, it just wasn't sustainable as a new mother. I wanted to have it all, but I came to realize I couldn't, not all at once.
