In recent years, the popularity of true crime documentaries has absolutely soared but now psychologists are warning that watching them to relax is a huge red flag. Thanks to streaming sites like Netflix, true crime documentaries have become a genre in and of themselves, but one expert has argued that watching them in order to fall asleep could be a sign of the harmful ways a person processes trauma. Doctor Thema Bryant explained how watching true crime for comfort because the trauma feels “familiar” is a sign that you may benefit from counselling. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Speaking on The Mel Robbins Podcast, Dr Bryant said: “If your idea of relaxing before you go to sleep is to watch three episodes of Law and Order, [then] I would encourage you to think about 'why is trauma relaxing to me?' “That's what it is. Harm, crime, violation, attacks, and that's what is going to soothe me into my bedtime.” @melrobbins If your idea of “relaxing” before bed is watching a few episodes of Law & Order (or any other #truecrime show), listen up.

She went on: “Some of us grew up in high-stress [situations], so people mistake peace for boring. And it's like, to come home to yourself, you have to lean into the discomfort because it’s going to feel unfamiliar.” In response to the podcast clip shared on TikTok, many reflected on their own relationship with this kind of television. One person wrote: “Wow that is exactly what I watch to relax. This was so enlightening.” Another argued: “The trauma isn't relaxing to me – it's the justice the characters/real people often get that I never did in my own life.” Have your say in our news democracy.

The popular Twitter account tracking Elon Musk’s private jet, which was suspended from the social media platform, now has a new presence on Instagram’s rival platform Threads. “ElonJet has arrived to Threads,” the new account named “Elon Musk’s Jet” run by the University of Central Florida student Jack Sweeney posted last week. Mr Sweeney was stopped by Twitter last year from posting the realtime whereabouts of Mr Musk’s private jet using publicly available data. He had started tracking Musk’s plane in 2020, and at the time of his Twitter account’s suspension, it had over 500,000 followers. The Twitter owner reasoned that anyone posting real-time coordinates would be suspended “as it is a physical safety violation” after his son was pursued by an unknown motorist in Los Angeles. “Criticising me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not,” Mr Musk said. “Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family,” the Tesla titan said in a separate tweet. Following this, Mr Sweeney began posting on Twitter with the account, ElonJet but Delayed, sharing information on the SpaceX chief’s private jet’s movements with a 24-hour delay. However, he continued to post real-time updates on the plane on rival social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Mastodon. But despite Mr Musk’s threat, no “legal action” appears to have been taken against the college student. “Remember when Elon said he would sue me. Just another empty threat,” Mr Sweeney posted on Threads on Friday. Now, finding a new home on Threads, Mr Sweeney’s new account has already racked up more than 78,000 followers at the time of writing. “I’m honestly hoping Twitter dies... As I am hindered on there, you search for my name, seems I’m search banned,” the college student told Insider. Mr Sweeney also shared that while he would be posting manual updates of Mr Musk’s private jet to the new Threads account for now, he hopes Meta would allow him to return to auto-posting. “Zuck will I be allowed to stay,” he posted, seemingly taking a jibe at his account’s suspension on Twitter by Mr Musk.
