Fears about flying, restaurants dropping prices, song of the summer: Catch up on the day’s stories

CNN’s 5 Things PM brings you the stories you might have missed during your busy day.

👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Struggling restaurants have been rolling out discounts in an effort to lure customers — but one very popular chain is bucking that trend and refusing to offer deals or drop menu prices. McDonald’s, meanwhile, just came out with a new $5 value meal to combat inflation. Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day: 1️⃣ Flying fears: Reports of harrowing and sometimes tragic incidents aboard airplanes seem to have accelerated this year, leading many to wonder if it’s still safe to fly. The quick answer is that flying is safer than most forms of travel, but the industry’s near-perfect safety record has been mainly due to sheer luck. 2️⃣ Depression deep-dive: For some, finding the right medication can take months or even years. Now brain scans have identified six specific types of depression, which could help doctors pursue the most effective treatment much faster. 3️⃣ ’Black Barbie’: A new documentary explores why it was much more than just a doll. When writer and director Lagueria Davis learned about her aunt’s role in developing the iconic toy, she knew it was a story that needed to be told. 4️⃣ Summer music: That breezy song you just can’t get out of your head when the temperature soars has become a matter of heated debate.
