Shark Skin and Swedish Fish

Sometimes life is a series of learning how to make the best of things... but how are you supposed to do that when everything is going wrong? It's the summer before seventh grade, and twelve-year-old Mack is still learning what life is like without one of her dads. Things have been hard ever since he passed away, and then she's told she has to spend the entire summer with grandparents she's never met before. She should be excited to spend a summer in a house on the beach, but she doesn't know anyone in Bellevue, and her stomach twists just thinking about all the unknowns living in a new place will mean. Turns out, there are plenty of kids in Bellevue just like her. And when sharks start disappearing from the coast, Mack and her new friends have a pretty good idea who’s behind it…

Answering all the stupid questions I have seen from the very limited amount of scrolling I've done-yall are wild in here. Not in a good way.

Going to East Nashville to visit? Its not like its a huge place. Maybe hit up Five Points and get some pizza....with a city as rich in history as ours, why would you make East Nashville your destination?! Yes, there are hipster stores and some decent restaurants, but then there is also some really shitty parts. DO NOT walk alone there at night. Shit, don't even walk in a group at night. Robberies and carjackings are real issues in our city, specifically in that area. You might have one road that is nice, but the next street over is a shithole. Stay away from Dickerson pike.

Who is saying that 30 minutes West of Nashville is Germantown!? Germantown is an area OF Nashville. You ever gone to the Sounds Stadium or Farmer's Market? Then congratulations, you've made it to Germantown. I don't think Josh lives 30 minutes from Nashville, that would put him in damn near Dickson, and that boy is not living in Dickson. Its probably 30 minutes from the guys in East Nashville, which would most likely put him in Bellevue. Makes sense, as all the Werner Park hiking trails are there. If you are looking to come and hike these trails in hopes of seeing him, know that it is very dangerous to do it alone-women have been sexually assaulted on these trails when they were alone.

No, they aren't being swarmed by people anytime they go out. Nashville people don't care about celebrities like they do in LA or NYC. We see famous people all the time here and just ignore it. If Jason Aldean can walk unbothered in Target, ALL of the guys from GVF are just fine too.

Ron didn't say he had a huge house he said he had a nice house. It can be subjective-maybe its a nice brick ranch; its obvious that is what Sammy has. I do not believe any of these guys are super rich. They are living comfortably, but the music industry takes a lot for their cut, then divide what is left by 4....And the people saying he fears domestication, but bought a house.....we don't actually know if he bought it. He could just be renting. He has said the fear thing in more than one interview but it does't mean he doesn't want to get a house.

Starcatcher-is it my favorite title? No, but when I thought about it, I realized maybe it has something to do with the play Peter and the Starcatchers. It is the prequel to Peter Pan. A Starcatcher is a member of a secret society in the play. They are essentially in charge of protecting the magic.

If people want to talk about Josh's dick in his stage costumes, who cares. He obviously knows it is showing; there is no way he has two brothers and neither of them have pointed it out. He is aware. Chester Bennington used to talk about it in interviews how he would get hard on stage at every show. its just the energy that makes it happen so if that is what is happening, so what.

Stop shitting on people who want to dress up and go to multiple shows. If they want to do that, let them..

The person who had to google Hunter S. Thompson......wow, kids these days really are missing out on cultural references.

Nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, this cityscape of innovation and charm has captured the attention of savvy investors seeking to capitalize on its dynamic market. From the towering skyscrapers of downtown to the tranquil neighborhoods dotting its landscape, Seattle offers a diverse range of investment prospects to suit every investor's vision. With a booming economy fueled by tech giants, a burgeoning population drawn to its vibrant lifestyle, and a strong rental market, Seattle stands as a beacon of promise in the realm of real estate. Join us as we embark on a journey to uncover why Seattle is not just a market, but the perfect market for real estate investors, revealing the key factors that make this city an investment hotspot worth exploring.

 Robust Economy

At the heart of Seattle's appeal is its robust and diverse economy. Home to tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing, the city boasts a thriving job market with a high concentration of well-paying jobs. This steady influx of employment opportunities drives demand for housing, making Seattle an attractive destination for both renters and homebuyers alike.

 Tech Hub

Seattle's status as a tech hub further solidifies its position as a prime real estate market. The presence of tech giants not only fuels job growth but also attracts a young, affluent demographic eager to live and work in the heart of innovation. As a result, the demand for rental properties remains consistently high, providing investors with a steady stream of income and promising returns on investment.

 Population Growth

Seattle's population has been steadily growing over the years, fueled by both domestic migration and international immigration. This influx of residents contributes to the city's housing demand, driving up property values and rental rates.

 Diverse Neighborhoods

From the trendy streets of Capitol Hill to the family-friendly suburbs of Bellevue, Seattle offers a diverse range of neighborhoods to suit every lifestyle and preference. Each neighborhood has its own unique charm and appeal, attracting a wide spectrum of renters and homebuyers. This diversity presents investors with ample opportunities to target specific markets and tailor their investment strategies accordingly.

 Strong Rental Market

Seattle's strong rental market is a boon for real estate investors looking to generate passive income. With a growing population and limited housing supply, rental vacancies remain low, ensuring a consistent flow of tenants for investment properties. Additionally, Seattle's landlord-friendly laws provide investors with the necessary protection and support to manage their rental properties effectively.

 Appreciating Property Values

Over the years, Seattle has witnessed significant appreciation in property values, making it an attractive market for long-term investment. Despite occasional fluctuations, the overall trend points towards steady growth, offering investors the potential for substantial capital gains over time. By strategically acquiring properties in promising neighborhoods, investors can capitalize on this upward trajectory and build wealth through real estate.

 Lifestyle Amenities

Beyond its economic prowess, Seattle boasts an unparalleled quality of life enriched by its abundance of lifestyle amenities. From world-class dining and entertainment options to breathtaking outdoor recreation opportunities, the city has something for everyone. This desirable lifestyle appeal not only attracts residents but also enhances the overall desirability of Seattle's real estate market.

 Investment in Infrastructure

Seattle continues to invest in its infrastructure, further enhancing its appeal to real estate investors. Projects such as the expansion of public transportation, the development of new commercial hubs, and the revitalization of urban neighborhoods contribute to the city's growth and attractiveness as an investment destination. These infrastructure improvements not only drive property values but also spur economic development in surrounding areas.

 Conclusion

Seattle undeniably stands as one of the best real estate investment cities, offering a winning combination of economic stability, diverse neighborhoods, and lifestyle amenities. From the allure of its tech-driven job market to the scenic beauty of its surroundings, Seattle encapsulates the essence of a thriving real estate market ripe with potential. As we've explored the myriad reasons why Seattle shines as the perfect market for real estate investors, it's clear that this cityscape is more than just a destination—it's a lucrative opportunity waiting to be seized. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just dipping your toes into the world of real estate, Seattle beckons with its promise of prosperity and growth. So, take the plunge, dive into the Emerald City's bustling market, and unlock the keys to success in one of the nation's premier real estate investment hubs.

В Bellevue есть оператор для программы безопасной парковки.

После длительного поиска Bellevue наконец выбрал организацию, которая будет управлять пилотной программой безопасной парковки. Городской совет Bellevue проголосовал за авторизацию организации 4 Tomorrow, ориентированной на молодежь и латиноамериканцев, для разработки и организации программы до 2024 года, с возможным продлением до июня 2025 года. Программа позволит людям, проживающим в своих автомобилях, парковаться на выделенной городской территории. Город заплатит 672 350 долларов за программу в Lincoln Center.

С наличием оператора программа собирается приветствовать своих первых клиентов уже в начале весны. Моник Мартинес, исполнительный директор организации 4 Tomorrow, выразила радость от партнерства с Bellevue и возможности предоставить безопасное пространство для жителей, проживающих в автомобилях.

Bellevue работал над реализацией пилотной программы безопасной парковки более года, чтобы удовлетворить потребности бездомного населения города, проживающего в автомобилях. Подсчет, проведенный в июле 2023 года, выявил 54 автомобиля, которые стали домом для отдельных лиц и семей.

Город располагал местом и финансированием для программы, но испытывал трудности с поиском оператора, проводя несколько этапов запроса предложений. Однако, 4 Tomorrow взяли на себя этот проект, который станет первым своего рода в Bellevue.

Парковка на территории Lincoln Center вмещает до 20 автомобилей, включая автодома, а также имеет дневной центр с доступом к ванным комнатам, душевым и кухонным удобствам. 4 Tomorrow будет осуществлять работу в дневном центре и будет доступна 24/7, чтобы реагировать на чрезвычайные ситуации и направлять жителей парковки к услугам, таким как трудоустройство, медицинская и психологическая помощь, а также другие виды поддержки, помогающие им обрести стабильное жилье.

4 Tomorrow будет отдавать приоритет семьям с детьми, проживающим в легковых автомобилях. Все пользователи программы будут проверены сотрудниками Bellevue, а затем направлены к 4 Tomorrow перед разрешением остаться на парковке. Будет установлен кодекс поведения, включая политику нулевой терпимости к незаконным наркотикам.

Безопасные парковки являются относительно новым и редким явлением в регионе, и их целью является сокращение обращений правоохранительных органов по поводу длительной парковки транспортных средств. В Bellevue запрещено парковать автомобили на одной улице более 24 часов, что приводит к предупреждениям и штрафам для нарушителей. Несколько программ парковки уже проводятся религиозными организациями на Eastside.

Также недавно в Сиэтле в Interbay была открыта первая парковка для рекреационных автодомов в декабре 2023 года, которая может вместить до 26 автодомов и девять маленьких домов.

В целом, программа безопасной парковки в Bellevue является значимым шагом к удовлетворению потребностей бездомного населения, проживающего в автомобилях, и предоставлению им безопасной и поддерживающей среды.

Российский космонавт установил новый рекорд по наибольшему времени пребывания в космосе.

В Сиэтле российский космонавт по имени Олег Кононенко установил новый мировой рекорд по времени, проведенному в космосе. 59-летний космонавт превзошел предыдущий рекорд, установленный российским космонавтом Геннадием Падалкой в 2015 году. Кононенко совершил пять полетов на Международную космическую станцию с 2008 года. Он провел в космосе уже более 878 дней и 12 часов. В интервью государственному российскому информационному агентству ТАСС Кононенко выразил свою любовь к своей работе и свою детскую мечту стать космонавтом. Он отметил, что каждый полет на МКС требует тщательной подготовки из-за постоянных модернизаций станции. В текущем путешествии Кононенко на МКС, которое началось в сентябре 2023 года, ожидается, что он станет первым человеком, накопившим 1000 дней в космосе. Международная космическая станция - одна из немногих областей, где США и Россия до сих пор тесно сотрудничают, несмотря на напряженность, вызванную вторжением России в Украину в 2022 году. Роскосмос, российское космическое агентство, объявило в декабре о продлении своей программы перекрестных полетов с NASA до 2025 года.

From the trendy streets of Capitol Hill to the family-friendly suburbs of Bellevue, Seattle offers a diverse range of neighborhoods to suit every lifestyle and preference. Each neighborhood has its own unique charm and appeal, attracting a wide spectrum of renters and homebuyers. This diversity presents investors with ample opportunities to target specific markets and tailor their investment strategies accordingly.

 Strong Rental Market

Seattle's strong rental market is a boon for real estate investors looking to generate passive income. With a growing population and limited housing supply, rental vacancies remain low, ensuring a consistent flow of tenants for investment properties. Additionally, Seattle's landlord-friendly laws provide investors with the necessary protection and support to manage their rental properties effectively.

 Appreciating Property Values

Over the years, Seattle has witnessed significant appreciation in property values, making it an attractive market for long-term investment. Despite occasional fluctuations, the overall trend points towards steady growth, offering investors the potential for substantial capital gains over time. By strategically acquiring properties in promising neighborhoods, investors can capitalize on this upward trajectory and build wealth through real estate.

 Lifestyle Amenities

Beyond its economic prowess, Seattle boasts an unparalleled quality of life enriched by its abundance of lifestyle amenities. From world-class dining and entertainment options to breathtaking outdoor recreation opportunities, the city has something for everyone. This desirable lifestyle appeal not only attracts residents but also enhances the overall desirability of Seattle's real estate market.

 Investment in Infrastructure

Seattle continues to invest in its infrastructure, further enhancing its appeal to real estate investors. Projects such as the expansion of public transportation, the development of new commercial hubs, and the revitalization of urban neighborhoods contribute to the city's growth and attractiveness as an investment destination. These infrastructure improvements not only drive property values but also spur economic development in surrounding areas.

 Conclusion

Seattle undeniably stands as one of the best real estate investment cities, offering a winning combination of economic stability, diverse neighborhoods, and lifestyle amenities. From the allure of its tech-driven job market to the scenic beauty of its surroundings, Seattle encapsulates the essence of a thriving real estate market ripe with potential. As we've explored the myriad reasons why Seattle shines as the perfect market for real estate investors, it's clear that this cityscape is more than just a destination—it's a lucrative opportunity waiting to be seized. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just dipping your toes into the world of real estate, Seattle beckons with its promise of prosperity and growth. So, take the plunge, dive into the Emerald City's bustling market, and unlock the keys to success in one of the nation's premier real estate investment hubs.

The pathologists and chemists of the New York City medical examiner’s office viewed the government’s deliberate poisoning of alcohol as an act of betrayal. Handling an average of twelve thousand bodies a year, they were accustomed to unnecessary loss of life—nearly half of those corpses were the result of accident, suicide, or murder. But they weren’t accustomed to having their national government adopt a policy known to kill people in droves. In the offices at Bellevue, their outrage crackled like a current in the air. In January the usually reserved Gettler marched off to meet with the New York press, bearing pages of information on lives taken by poisoned alcohol. As always, Gettler said, money bought greater safety. The well-heeled clubbers, the wealthy lovers of jazz-flavored cocktails, could afford the pricey higher-quality alcohol on the market. Many of them routinely invited their bootleggers to parties, gaining some personal insurance against poisoning. But the poor could buy only the alcoholic dregs: nickel whiskey from the tenement stills, the Smoke cocktails of the Bowery, straight wood alcohol. More than anyone else, the city’s impoverished residents were paying the real price of Prohibition. The statistics that Gettler delivered to the city newspapers bore this out: in the year 1926 alone some twelve hundred in New York City had been sickened or blinded or both by drinking some form of industrial alcohol; another four hundred people had died, most of them from Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Gas House district, Hell’s Kitchen, and like neighborhoods in the other boroughs. “The figures exceed the number who had died from alcoholism in the days of the saloon,” he said, his sentences dry and cold with determination. “It is impossible to estimate the effect which this poisoned liquor has had on the nervous systems of those taking it and who are not made ill enough to be brought to the hospital for treatment. It is clear enough, however, that the liquor which contains enough poisons to kill so many is slowly but surely killing many others.”

I Live in My Car (NYT) Chrystal Audet tried to get comfortable in what she called her “bedroom”—the back seat of her eight-year-old Ford Fusion. To stretch her legs, she had to leave a passenger door ajar, but September nights are raw in the Pacific Northwest. From her own “bedroom” in the front seat, her 26-year-old daughter Cierra Audet asked her to close it. “We have to get out of this,” Ms. Audet said to herself as she pulled a comforter against the cold and struggled to fall asleep in a parking lot in Kirkland, Wash. Ms. Audet, 49, earns over $72,000 a year as a social worker for the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. But a combination of bad luck, bad debt and a bad credit score priced her out of her apartment in Bellevue, another suburb of Seattle, one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. With an eviction looming, she put her furniture in storage and began parking the sedan in a U-shaped parking lot outside a church in Kirkland. Around the country, real estate is being set aside for people like Ms. Audet in the form of parking lots. Dozens of such lots have opened in the last five years, providing a safe harbor for a growing cohort of working Americans who earn too little to afford rent but too much to receive government assistance and have turned their cars into a form of affordable housing.

Republicans and Democrats agree on one thing: The Afghan war wasn’t worth it, poll shows (AP) At a time when Americans are deeply divided along party lines, a new poll shows considerable agreement on at least one issue: The United States’ two-decade-long war in Afghanistan was not worth fighting. The poll from the Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research comes two years after the U.S. pulled out of Afghanistan in August 2021 and the Taliban returned to power. The war was started to go after the masterminds of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the Taliban who allowed them to use Afghan territory. It ended in frantic scenes of Afghans and Americans desperately trying to get on one of the last flights out of Kabul. Two-thirds of Americans say the war in Afghanistan was not worth fighting; 65% of Democrats and 63% of Republicans agree on that evaluation. Many have doubts about how successful the U.S. was at accomplishing more specific goals such as eliminating the threat from extremists or improving opportunities for women. “It was unwinnable from the beginning,” said Martin Stefen, a 78-year-old Republican who lives in Carson City, Nevada.

Europe is looking to fight the flood of Chinese electric vehicles. But Europeans love them (AP) When Laima Springe-Janssen was looking to replace her French-made gasoline-powered SUV with an electric car, she considered models from Volvo and Nissan. The Volvo extras she wanted would have busted her budget, while the Nissan lacked the “wow factor.” The Copenhagen, Denmark, resident ended up buying a compact SUV from China’s BYD. “I really, really love the car,” Springe-Janssen said. For the equivalent of about $50,000, the Atto 3 SUV came with “all these goodies” like a 360-degree dash cam, two years of free charging and an extra set of winter tires. Her husband likes it so much he’s considering buying another BYD. “I’m sorry, Europe. Go home,” she said. “China has a better offer.” Her enthusiasm underscores how Chinese automakers are winning over drivers as they make major inroads into Europe’s electric vehicle market. The competitive threat has spurred the European Union to launch an investigation into Beijing’s support for its EV industry. That adds to tech-related tensions between the West and China, which is one of Europe’s biggest trading partners and the world’s biggest auto market.

Ukraine uses secretly shipped U.S. missiles to launch surprise strike (Politico) The Ukrainian military on Tuesday used U.S.-supplied longer-range missiles to strike nine Russian helicopters in eastern Ukraine, after Washington secretly shipped the weapons in recent weeks. The delivery and use on the battlefield, confirmed by two people familiar with the move, marks a major ramp up of the administration’s defense of Ukraine, for the first time providing Kyiv’s forces with the ability to strike Russian targets far behind the front lines. President Joe Biden had been hesitant to deliver the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, for fear of escalating the conflict. The transfer indicates the administration’s calculus has changed after a slow-moving Ukrainian counteroffensive.

China Invested $1 Trillion to Gain Global Influence. Can That Go On? (NYT) China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, founded the Belt and Road Initiative a decade ago to use the country’s economic might to enlarge its geopolitical heft and counter the influence of the United States and other industrialized democracies. China has since disbursed close to $1 trillion to mostly developing countries, largely in loans, to build power plants, roads, airports, telecommunications networks and other infrastructure. Mr. Xi has used China’s cash and infrastructure expertise to tie together countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America and parts of Eastern and Southern Europe. Belt and Road has established for China a role in global development rivaling that of the United States and the World Bank. But for all the influence it has brought Beijing, the initiative has contributed to unaffordable levels of debt for dozens of poor countries. Now, as representatives from many of the nearly 150 Belt and Road countries assemble in Beijing this week for a summit, the initiative is changing shape. China’s role has shifted from being the world’s largest bilateral lender to also its largest debt collector.

Pentagon surging thousands of troops toward Israel amid Gaza war (Washington Post) Deployments disclosed by the Pentagon in recent days will surge thousands of U.S. troops toward Israel. The moves include the deployment of two U.S. aircraft carriers and their associated escort ships, hauling some 15,000 personnel combined; the repositioning of an amphibious task force made up of about 4,000 Marines and sailors; and undisclosed increases to fighter squadrons already arrayed throughout the Middle East. Another 2,000 support troops have been put on alert and told they should be ready to go within days.

‘Not knowing’ plunges the families of Israel’s missing into a limbo of pain and numbness (AP) The families of Israel’s dead are holding funerals and mourning in the wake of Hamas’ deadly rampage. The loved ones of people thought to have been taken hostage are demanding the captives’ release. But nearly two weeks after the worst civilian massacre in Israel’s history, the families of the missing are wandering through a landscape of pain and numbness with no clear horizon and few, if any answers. The not-knowing, they say, plunges them into cycles of sorrow and hope. The Associated Press has documented more than 250 people who disappeared in the attacks. Of those, around 140 are confirmed as likely hostages, whether by witnesses who saw them being taken away by Hamas militants, army information given to their families, or by their appearances on social media posted by Hamas. At least 85 of the missing are either foreign or dual nationals, according to the AP data. At least 20 are children.

Israel’s treatment of civilians (Washington Post) Israel’s treatment of civilians in Gaza poses a deepening dilemma for the Biden administration, as officials scramble to illustrate strong support for a core U.S. ally following Hamas’ brutal assault while grappling with a spiraling human toll that could threaten Israel’s international backing and undermine America’s own steps to shield noncombatants from harm. Palestinian authorities said at least 500 people were killed in a strike on a crowded hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday, adding a dramatic escalation to a death toll that already stood above 2,000 since Israeli forces began pounding the densely populated area with airstrikes following Hamas’ Oct. 7 assault. As many as 1 million people were ordered to flee south as bombardment reduces much of northern Gaza to rubble and conditions deteriorate following Israel’s suspension of water and electricity. The potential for far greater casualties during Israel’s expected ground offensive against Hamas will likely intensify the challenges that Biden, who has positioned his administration as a chief defender of global norms amid what U.S. officials characterize as Russia’s illegal and immoral attacks on civilians in Ukraine, must navigate in his show of solidarity with Israel. Kenneth Pollack, a Middle East expert at the American Enterprise Institute, said Israel risks repeating the missteps America made in the wake of 9/11, when a shaken nation embraced a broad military and intelligence response that ultimately inspired a new generation of anti-American sentiment worldwide.

‘No More Safe Places in Gaza’: Evacuees Face Airstrikes in North and South (NYT) Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who heeded the Israeli military’s order to evacuate portions of the Gaza Strip are confronting deadly airstrikes from Israeli warplanes even after they’ve moved. And a grim question hung over the enclave on Tuesday: Was there anywhere safe to go? Last week, after the deadly Oct. 7 cross-border attacks by Hamas, Israel ordered all of Gaza’s northern residents—some 1.1 million people—to abandon their homes ahead of an expected ground invasion of the strip and to head south. Hundreds of thousands obeyed, leaving by car, motorcycle and even on foot. But on Tuesday, Israel said it had intensified its bombing in the southern Gaza cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, just as the residential buildings there were swelling with new arrivals and as food, water, medicines and other supplies were running out. Some Palestinians who fled the north said they were considering returning to their homes as strikes intensify in the south. “There’s constant bombing, even in these areas they say are safe—but there are no more safe places in Gaza,” said Mohammad Ayoub, 57, who had fled with his family from Beit Hanoun with only a few personal items.

UN aid chief says six months of war in Sudan has killed 9,000 people (AP) Six months of war between Sudan’s military and a powerful paramilitary group has killed up to 9,000 people and created “one of the worst humanitarian nightmares in recent history,” the United Nations humanitarian chief said Sunday. Sudan has been engulfed in chaos since mid-April, when simmering tensions between military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan and the commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, exploded into open warfare. “For six months, civilians ... have known no respite from bloodshed and terror,” U.N. Undersecretary-General Martin Griffiths said in a statement marking the six-month anniversary of the war. “Horrific reports of rape and sexual violence continue to emerge.”

It’s not just Paris. Bedbugs are resurgent everywhere (Economist) To Ernest Hemingway, Paris was a movable feast. To a bedbug, so are Parisians. In videos recently shared on social media, the seats of the city’s metro are seen swarming with bedbugs, tiny insects no bigger than an apple pip, which feed on human blood. The direct health risk from bedbugs is minor, limited to itchy bites and a small risk of allergies and secondary infections. The more serious impact tends to be psychological, says Clive Boase, an entomologist with 30 years’ experience as a pest-control consultant. But the story is not so much one of bad hygiene and dirty trains as it is another cautionary tale of globalisation, climate change and evolutionary biology. Warm cities provide ideal environments for bedbugs. Cheap travel helps them spread. And after decades of widespread use, the chemical insecticides used to kill them are losing their power. Bedbugs are resurgent around the world.

Teens Spend Average of 4.8 Hours on Social Media Per Day (Gallup) Just over half of U.S. teenagers (51%) report spending at least four hours per day using a variety of social media apps such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), a Gallup survey of more than 1,500 adolescents finds. This use amounts to 4.8 hours per day for the average U.S. teen across seven social media platforms tested in the survey. Across age groups, the average time spent on social media ranges from as low as 4.1 hours per day for 13-year-olds to as high as 5.8 hours per day for 17-year-olds. Girls spend nearly an hour more on social media than boys (5.3 vs. 4.4 hours, respectively).
