World's oldest practicing doctor, 102, reveals ‘enemy of longevity'
Most people slow down with age, trading suits and deadlines for slippers and daytime TV. Not Dr. Howard Tucker. The Cleveland-born neurologist treated patients for nearly eight decades, earning the Guinness World Record title for oldest practicing doctor just before his 99th birthday. Now 102, Tucker may have hung up his white coat, but he hasn't hit the brakes. He spends his days lecturing future doctors at Case Western Reserve University and consulting on medical-legal cases — thanks to the law degree he picked up at the age of 67. 5 Dr. Howard Tucker treated patients from 1947 until 2022. drhowardtucker/Instagram Oh, and he's gone viral on TikTok while promoting What's Next, a documentary about his life, produced by his grandson. Tucker recently peeled back the curtain on his remarkable run — and how he's stayed sharp, driven and active well into his second century. 'Retirement, I think, is the enemy of longevity,' Tucker recently told TODAY's Al Roker. 'You have to have some purpose in life and get up in the morning and know what you're about,' he added. Tucker continued practicing medicine until age 100, only stopping when the hospital where he worked shuttered its doors in 2022. 5 Tucker will turn 103 years old in July. whatsnextmovie/Instagram If it wasn't for the closure, Tucker told PEOPLE, he'd 'absolutely' still be seeing patients. He's even 'putting out feelers' for another gig — though he admits, 'nobody wants me at my age.' 'But I'll keep trying,' he said. Tucker has no intention of stepping away from his current workload. But for anyone thinking about throwing in the towel, he's got a word of advice. 'If they retire from their work, they should at least do something as a hobby, whether it be communal work or self-hobbies,' he told TODAY. 'You need a stimulus for the brain daily.' Science backs him up. Studies show that having a sense of purpose, continually learning new things and engaging in activities that require problem-solving, creativity and attention are key for staying mentally sharp into old age. 5 Tucker is one of the oldest people to receive a law degree. drhowardtucker/Instagram The average American lifespan was 77.5 years in 2022 — and Tucker blew past that long ago. His parents lived to 84 and 96, but he said good genes are only part of the equation. 'Heredity and family history of longevity is a healthy start. However, it must be supported by moderation of nutrition, alcohol, and happiness,' Tucker wrote in his Guinness submission. For Tucker, happiness comes from work, his wife of over 70 years, their four kids, 10 grandchildren — and a lifelong love for Cleveland sports. Research shows that people with strong social connections and a positive outlook tend to outlive those who are isolated or depressed. 5 Tucker has been married to his wife for more than 70 years. drhowardtucker/Instagram Tucker has also made staying active a lifelong priority. Writing for CNBC, Tucker said he's always avoided letting himself get out of shape. He gave up skiing after a fall in his late 80s left him with a broken neck, but he continues to snowshoe and hits the treadmill for at least three miles a day in his home gym. Tucker noted that even small habits make a difference, with studies suggesting just 15 minutes of walking a day can cut the risk of early death by nearly 25%. 5 The documentary about Tucker's life, What's Next, was the People's Voice Winner at the 2025 Webby Awards. Getty Images for The Webby Awards His diet is simple. On the mindbodygreen podcast, Tucker said he starts his day with seasonal fruit and sometimes cereal, washed down with 2% milk and a cup of tea instead of coffee. He usually skips lunch to stay sharp, and dinner is typically fish and vegetables — especially broccoli — with the occasional serving of meat. He and his wife end the day with something sweet, sometimes fruit, sometimes ice cream. Trucker rarely drinks but makes an exception for his favorite cocktail. 'I love my martinis,' he told Medical Economics. He's never touched a cigarette. With his 103rd birthday around the corner in July, Tucker isn't wasting time worrying about the end. 'I never think of death,' he told TODAY. 'To be alive is to know that you're going to die because life is a fatal disease. And so I live it.'

Fishing Point Healthcare set to host Community Day at new Newport News location
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) — Fishing Point Healthcare is set to host a free community event on Saturday. The Fishing Point Healthcare Community Day is Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 2315 Jefferson Ave. in Newport News. Dr. Eboni Carter from Family Medicine Physician at Fishing Point said the event is to learn about screenings and Fishing Point while getting to feed the community. In 2023, the Nansemond Indian Nation established Fishing Point Healthcare to provide access to care for Medicaid and Tribal member patients. 'With Our clinics, the Nansemond Indian Nation has decided to put clinics in places where there's a very high need for primary healthcare,' Carter said. 'That includes behavioral healthcare, recovery services, pharmacy services, physical therapy, [and] transportation. All of these are encompassed in one place, that provides a medical home for patients who are in need.' The new East End of Newport News location is currently under construction, expected to open the summer of 2025. 'It's not uncommon for me to see patients on a weekly basis who tell me that they have not seen a physician and especially not a primary care physician for 20-30 years,' Carter said. 'This is definitely a need in the community.' John Eley III, Newport News Councilman South District 3, reacted to the delays in care. 'That is the reality that we are living in now, but being that we're going to have walkable healthcare in our community … it is a gamechanger,' said Eley. 'This is exciting news to have Fishing Point Healthcare right there in our backyard. It is walking distance for me. It's within walking distance for the community. It's so exciting to see a pharmacy right there where you can get your prescription and you can see the doctor all in one visit.' The office will offer primary care, physical therapy, pharmacy services and behavioral health options. If you don't have a ride to an appointment, the staff will help arrange transportation. Patients can come in and not have to pay as everything is through contracts with Medicaid and with Tribal health care, Carter said. 'This is the way medicine should be practiced. After 24 years, I've never seen anything like this. This is a special place! You have people who genuinely care… I've been there for a year. I left my practice of 20 years just because the mandate that they gave me was to take care of patients. [They said] That's all we need you to do. When you're working in a system where there's a lot of bureaucracy… there's a lot of hoops that you have to jump through. This is a place that you don't have to jump through hoops! You just take care of the patient!' -Dr. Eboni Carter, Fishing Point Healthcare Physician Achievable Dream, the What's Next job training and 40 other vendors partnered with event. 'Fishing Point is the type of company it's not just for citizens of Newport News, is for citizens of the whole Hampton Roads area,' said Eley. Until construction is complete, Fishing Point Healthcare services are provided at 732 Thimble Shoals Drive Suite 803 in Newport News. Transportation arrangement can be made at 757-861-9040.

Drake confirms Nokia IMAX music video release date and director Theo Skudra's involvement
Drake has officially announced the release date for his much-anticipated music video for 'Nokia'. Contrary to earlier reports suggesting a March 28 drop, the rapper confirmed the video will premiere on Monday, March 31. He also teased fans with the IMAX logo, hinting at a lavish, cinematic rollout. The visual will be directed by Theo Skudra, Drake's go-to filmmaker throughout the 2020s. Skudra's directed several of Drake's biggest visuals, including 'What's Next', 'Toosie Slide', and the polarizing 'Family Matters'. Chart-wise, 'Nokia' has already made noise — debuting at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 8, and now sitting at No. 11. With fans calling it the spiritual successor to 'Hotline Bling', many are expecting the video to fuel a surge back into the top 10. Drake, who's been riding the wave of $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U since Valentine's Day, has hinted that more solo music is on the way. During a recent show in Australia, he told fans, 'Drizzy Drake alone by himself is gonna have to have a one-on-one talk to y'all,' teasing a future album with a more personal tone. With Skudra's direction and a rare IMAX rollout, 'Nokia' could be the kind of visual moment that reignites Drake's viral reign.

Chris Hayes: Trump, Musk Have ‘Attentional Dominance' and Everyone Else Should ‘Pull Back' From It
President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have mastered 'attentional dominance,' Chris Hayes told fellow MSNBC host Ali Velshi on Sunday — and the rest of us just have to figure out how to cope with that. 'What we've seen at the level of public discourse is a total breakdown of attentional regimes,' Hayes explained. 'And what it means is that people that are just good at getting attention in and of itself — Donald trump's appalling spectacle in the Oval Office the other day, Elon Musk with the platform he purchased — they've achieved this kind of attentional dominance in this environment.' His apparent solution for everyone else is that what we 'have to do is to kind of pull back and choose what we are focusing on.' Hayes is the author of 'The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource.' In an interview with Slate's 'What's Next' podcast on Feb. 16, he spoke about the relationship between AI and infinite scroll on smartphones and compared it to a slot machine. 'I also posit that it feels like a slot machine for non-accidental reasons. The slot machine is probably the single most successful pure attention-monetizing technology ever derived. People can spend eight hours there with these little five-second bursts,' he explained. The infinite scroll, in turn, feeds the machine, which has an apparently limitless capacity for information. The algorithm, Hayes further noted, is where AI as we currently understand it was 'first deployed truly at scale' in a 'customer-facing way.' In other words, he added, 'What the social media algorithm is doing is just machine learning at scale.' You can watch the interview between Chris Hayes and Ali Velshi in the video, above.
