Exactly 40 years ago today, an estimated 1.5 billion people in more than 100 countries tuned in to watch Live Aid, a mega benefit concert held simultaneously in London and Philadelphia to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. Dozens of music icons took to the stages throughout the day and night, but one of the most memorable performances almost didn’t happen.

Here’s what else you need to know to start your week smart.

Different types of coffee in cups on dark table, top view

Coffee — whether it’s your drink of choice while you read 5 Things or your midday pick-me-up — is one of the world’s most popular beverages.

While coffee beans originated in ninth-century Ethiopia, the plant wasn’t cultivated and brewed into the drink the world has come to know and love until the 15th century in Yemen, according to NESCAFÉ.

Today, it’s estimated that people worldwide drink around 2 billion cups of coffee daily, according to a 2019 study.

1️⃣ Brewing benefits: The peak of summer is here, and as most try to beat the heat, research suggests that for regular coffee drinkers, the beverage can be just as hydrating as water. Daily coffee consumption is also linked to aging with a sharp mind and lowering the risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases.

2️⃣ Java jitters: According to the US FDA, consuming more than 400 milligrams of caffeine (equivalent to four or five cups of coffee) is considered excessive for most adults. Too much caffeine can cause sleep disruptions and, in rare cases, can lead to caffeine intoxication.

3️⃣ A whole latte options: Starbucks may dominate the coffee market, but competition is brewing. Luckin Coffee, a fast-growing coffee chain that rose to popularity in China, recently opened two US locations. Other chains like Dutch Bros, 7 Brew and Black Rock Coffee Bar have built a loyal following targeting Gen Z drinkers with TikTok-worthy coffees and refreshers at affordable prices.

4️⃣ Coffeehouse culture: Coffee shops have long been known as “third spaces” — spots where people can gather that are not home or work. In 17th-century London, coffee shops were known as “penny universities” because they served as places of social exchange and the drink cost only 1 cent.

5️⃣ Coffee and the climate crisis: Experts call coffee a complex commodity. The crop is not only labor-intensive to produce but is also sensitive to environmental changes. Factors like severe weather and rising temperatures can impact coffee production and drive up costs for consumers.

• Trump announces tariffs of 30% on Mexico and the European Union
• FEMA removed dozens of Camp Mystic buildings from 100-year flood map before expansion, records show
• Trump says he’s considering revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship, reigniting decades-long feud

Monday
It’s the beginning of “Crypto Week” in Washington, DC. The House will consider the GENIUS Act, which would provide a framework for regulating stablecoins — a type of crypto asset that is tied to the value of another asset, such as the US dollar or gold. Stablecoins were initially created as a way for crypto investors to store their money, but have grown in popularity in recent years for their use in digital payments. Cryptocurrencies have had a major revival under President Donald Trump’s second term, yet critics have pointed to the Trump family’s ties to the crypto industry.

Tuesday
We’ll get the latest reading on inflation when the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the Consumer Price Index for June. Prices crept slightly higher in the previous month; however, economists are warning that President Trump’s sweeping trade policy of tacking steep tariffs on most goods that come into America will deliver a taxing blow to consumers via higher prices.

Thursday
A national anti-Trump protest dubbed “Good Trouble Lives On” is scheduled for July 17 — the anniversary of the 2020 passing of Civil Rights icon and Congressman John Lewis. Lewis famously called on Americans fighting for justice to create “good trouble” in the name of redeeming the soul of America.

Thursday is also the deadline for Harvard University to hand over documents about its financial aid practices, as part of a congressional probe into alleged tuition price-fixing in the Ivy League. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan issued a subpoena to Harvard last month demanding the documents.

And 70 years ago, on July 17, 1955, Disneyland in Anaheim, California, opened its gates to the public.
