Artemis II Splashdown: When & How NASA’s Lunar Crew Returns to Earth

After a historic journey around the Moon, the crew of Artemis II is officially headed home—and the final moments of the mission are just as intense as the launch.

Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen are expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off Southern California at around 8:07 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 10, wrapping up a 10-day, nearly 700,000-miles around the Moon.

Here’s everything you need to know about the dramatic return of Orion spacecraft.

Splashdown Timeline: Minute-by-Minute

The return to Earth is a carefully choreographed sequence—and every second counts:

7:33 p.m. – The Orion crew module separates from its service module, exposing its heat shield for the fiery reentry through Earth’s atmosphere, where temperatures soar to nearly 3,000°F.
7:37 p.m. – A short engine burn adjusts the capsule’s angle, ensuring the heat shield is perfectly aligned for entry.
7:53 p.m. – Orion hits the upper atmosphere at about 400,000 feet, traveling nearly 35 times the speed of sound. The crew experiences intense G-forces (up to 3.9 Gs), and communication drops during a six-minute blackout caused by plasma buildup.
8:03 p.m. – Drogue parachutes deploy at about 22,000 feet, stabilizing and slowing the capsule.
8:04 p.m. – The main parachutes open at 6,000 feet, dramatically reducing speed.
8:07 p.m. – Splashdown. Orion lands in the Pacific at around 20 mph, completing its journey.

What Happens After Splashdown?

Once Orion hits the water, recovery teams from NASA and the U.S. military move in quickly.

Astronauts are carefully removed from the capsule and placed on an inflatable raft
Helicopters transport them to the recovery ship, the USS John P. Murtha
Within about two hours, the crew is safely aboard the ship

From there, it’s all about recovery and evaluation. The astronauts undergo medical checks before being flown back to Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

A Major Step Toward the Moon (and Beyond)

Artemis II marks a huge milestone—it’s NASA’s first crewed mission around the Moon since the Apollo program era. While this mission doesn’t land on the lunar surface, it sets the stage for future missions that will.

Now, all eyes are on the Pacific as this next chapter in human space exploration comes full circle—literally.

Watch NASA explain Artemis II splashdown, from entry to landing:

Stay Or Go Friday April 10th 2025: Alibis

2026-04-10T16:00:00Z

Alibis was born out of the need to channel chaos into art. An unflinching pursuit of sound that tells the truth, no matter how dark or beautiful it may be. The project began with Rainy Dayz, a California native with a foundation in Opera, Piano and Theatre. Those classical roots fused with her love for rock, electronic and pop, forming the backbone of her songwriting. Untamed melodies, unapologetic lyrics and dramatic instrumentation. What began as Rainy’s solo project soon demanded expansion. Enter Kris Ferris, a guitarist whose metal infused sensibilities brought a heavier edge to Rainy’s cinematic vision. His dark, robust riffs intertwined seamlessly with her soaring vocals and melancholic progressions, forging the tension driven chemistry that defines Alibis’ sound. Together, their sound became a storm and carved a distinct sonic identity. Alibis is an experience to be felt more than heard and stays with you long after the music stops.

Check out their latest EP “Damn Love” and get ready for some new music this summer! They will also be playing Stages in Santa Ana May 31^st.come out!

LA28 Faces Backlash Over $5,000 Olympic Ticket Prices

LA28 Faces Backlash Over $5,000 Olympic Ticket Prices—Here’s What’s Really Going On

Los Angeles is gearing up to host the 2028 Summer Olympics, but excitement over ticket sales is quickly being overshadowed by frustration. As global ticket sales officially opened today, many local fans are voicing concerns over sky-high prices and limited availability—despite promises of affordable options.

Sticker Shock Hits Southern California

Leading up to the global ticket release, organizers for LA28 promoted accessibility, even offering hundreds of thousands of tickets priced at just $28 during a locals-only presale. But for many fans, those deals were nearly impossible to secure.

Now, with the first global sales phase—known as “Drop 1”—underway, complaints are pouring in. Fans browsing the site report seeing mostly premium seats, especially for high-demand events like the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, with prices soaring to $5,000 or more.

Why Are Tickets So Expensive?

According to LA28 officials, the issue isn’t a lack of affordable tickets—it’s demand.

Allison Katz Mayfield, Senior VP of Revenue for LA28, explained that local buyers were given early access to the widest selection of tickets, and the lowest-priced options sold out quickly. Importantly, no new inventory was added for the global release, meaning international buyers are competing for what’s left.

Organizers say about 30% of remaining tickets are still priced under $200, but those options may be limited or tied to less popular events.

Adding to the cost, ticket prices include a 24% service fee, which covers operational expenses like payment processing and customer support.

What Fans Can Expect Moving Forward

If you missed out this time, you’re not out of luck.

The current “Drop 1” window runs through April 19, and fans who weren’t selected are automatically entered into future ticket releases later this year. Additional opportunities—including resale options—are on the horizon:

Late 2026: More ticket drops with new inventory
2027: Official resale platform launches
2027: Paralympic ticket draw opens
July 14, 2028: Opening Ceremony kicks off in Inglewood

Tips for Getting Tickets Without Breaking the Bank

If you’re still hoping to attend the Games, here are a few smart strategies:

Check your email regularly for ticket access windows if you registered
Use ticket filters to find standard (non-premium) pricing
Be flexible—less popular sports often have better availability and lower prices
Avoid resale sites for now—tickets on third-party platforms are not verified yet
Consider the Paralympics for more affordable, family-friendly options

The Bottom Line

While LA28 organizers insist that affordable tickets do exist, the reality for many fans has been a tough mix of high demand and limited supply. For now, patience—and a bit of flexibility—may be the best strategy for anyone hoping to be part of the Olympic experience in Los Angeles.

Is Tipping Fatigue Actually a Thing? New Report Says Not Really

2026-04-07T19:40:00Z

If it feels like you’re being asked to tip everywhere these days, you’re not alone. From coffee counters to takeout screens, tipping prompts seem unavoidable. But despite the growing complaints, a new report suggests Americans aren’t actually tipping any less.

So, what’s really going on?

According to recent data from restaurant tech company Toast, tipping habits have stayed surprisingly steady. In the final three months of last year, the average tip percentage didn’t budge—and it hasn’t changed much at all over the past seven years.

Where people tip the most (and least)

While overall tipping behavior is consistent nationwide, where you live can make a big difference in how much you leave behind.

Delaware takes the top spot as the most generous state overall, leading in both total tipping and tips at full-service restaurants.
When it comes to quick-service spots, West Virginia comes out on top, with Wyoming not far behind.

On the flip side:

California ranks last in total tipping and at full-service restaurants, trailing most states by more than a full percentage point.
New Jersey lands at the bottom for quick-service restaurant tipping.
Washington is the only other state dipping below the 18% average tipping mark.

The numbers tell the story

Tipping at full-service restaurants has remained remarkably stable, sitting at about 19.2%. Since 2018, it’s barely moved—never dropping below 19.1% or rising above the 19.8% peak seen during 2020 and 2021.

Quick-service tipping is currently at its lowest point in that same timeframe, but even that number has held steady for over a year.

What about “tipping fatigue”?

Even though many customers say they’re tired of constant tip requests, the data doesn’t show a major shift in behavior—at least not yet. People may be annoyed, but they’re still tipping at roughly the same rates.

A quick note on the data

The report is based on digital and card payments made through Toast’s system during the last quarter of the year. That means cash tips weren’t included, which could slightly impact the full picture.

Bottom line

Tipping fatigue might feel real—but when it comes to actual dollars and percentages, Americans are staying pretty consistent. At least for now.

Pure Chaos, Zero Damage: Golden Retriever Discovers Bubbles and Completely Loses It

2026-04-03T18:38:00Z

Image Credit: @zebbythegolden TikTok

Sometimes the simplest things bring the biggest joy—and that goes for dogs just as much as it does for kids.

One golden retriever named Zebby is going viral after discovering the magic of bubbles, and his reaction is pure, chaotic happiness. In a now-popular TikTok clip, captioned “POV my dog discovers bubbles,” Zebby stands in the yard, eyes locked in, waiting for the next wave to float his way. The moment they do, it’s game on.

With the high-energy “Jackass” theme blasting in the background, Zebby leaps into action—snapping, chomping, and bouncing around as he tries to pop every single bubble in sight. His enthusiasm is unmatched, and honestly, a little contagious. You can’t help but laugh as he gives it his all, even if his success rate is… questionable.

And in case you’re wondering why he’s so invested in chasing soapy spheres, there’s a twist: the bubbles are peanut butter-flavored. Suddenly, it all makes perfect sense.

Viewers flooded the comments, instantly charmed by Zebby’s all-in approach. One person perfectly summed it up with, “100% attack, 0% damage,” while others shared that their own dogs are just as obsessed—or that they’re now inspired to grab a bottle of bubbles and find out.

Moral of the story? Whether you’ve got kids or pets, bubbles are still undefeated when it comes to easy, joyful entertainment.

Houston, We Have a... Bathroom Problem: Artemis II Crew Tackles Toilet Trouble in Space

2026-04-02T19:29:00Z

Image Credit: @_Testflight_

Space missions are built around precision, preparation, and problem-solving—but sometimes, even the most advanced technology can run into very human issues. Just ask the astronauts aboard NASA’s Artemis II mission, who found themselves dealing with an unexpected challenge shortly after liftoff: a broken toilet.

Not exactly the kind of headline you expect from a historic journey to the Moon.

A Rough Start… and a Long Wait

Shortly after launch aboard the Orion spacecraft, a malfunction in the toilet’s control system—specifically a faulty fan—left the crew without a working restroom. For the first six hours of the mission, astronauts had to hold it, with at least one crew member resorting to a NASA-approved backup solution: a specialized waste bag.

Not glamorous, but in space, you make do.

Meet the “Space Plumber”

As the spacecraft continued its journey, astronaut Christina Koch stepped into an unexpected role: onboard plumber. Working closely with mission control in Houston, she carefully disassembled parts of the system and followed troubleshooting steps—including the classic “turn it off and back on again.”

After hours of effort, the fix worked. Mission control finally gave the green light: the toilet was back in action just in time for the crew’s rest period.

Cue collective relief.

Image: Canadian SpaceAgency

Why Space Toilets Are So Complicated

Using the bathroom in space is no simple task. Without gravity, everything depends on airflow and careful positioning. NASA’s high-tech “universal waste management system”—which has cost over $17 million to develop—uses suction to guide waste into sealed containers.

Astronauts even strap themselves in place to avoid… well, floating mishaps.

Despite the system’s sophistication, space toilets have a long history of quirks. Back during the Apollo era, astronauts didn’t have toilets at all—just plastic bags. One infamous moment from Apollo 10 involved a rogue floating… object that required immediate attention.

So, in many ways, things have improved.

Life Inside Orion

The Orion capsule itself isn’t exactly spacious—roughly the size of two SUVs—so privacy is hard to come by. Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen joked that the bathroom is the one place crew members can truly be alone.

When it works, of course.

More Than Just Bathroom Issues

The toilet hiccup wasn’t the only challenge. The crew also dealt with minor technical issues, including a stuck valve, electronic glitches, and even trouble locating their sleepwear—referred to as “comfort garments.”

At one point, Commander Reid Wiseman even needed help troubleshooting a device issue… including an Outlook email problem. Yes, even in deep space, tech support is still a thing.

Eyes on the Bigger Mission

Despite the early bumps, Artemis II is a major خطوة forward. The 10-day mission will send astronauts around the far side of the Moon—farther than humans have traveled in decades—testing critical systems ahead of a planned lunar landing in 2028.

The mission represents NASA’s renewed push to establish a long-term human presence on the Moon.

And while a broken toilet might seem like a small hiccup, it’s a reminder of just how complex—and unpredictable—space travel can be.

Because even when you’re heading hundreds of thousands of miles into space… sometimes the biggest problem is still the bathroom.

LA28 Olympics Tickets Are Almost Here - Here's How to Get Yours First

2026-03-31T18:18:00Z

LA28 Olympics Tickets Are Almost Here — Here’s How to Get Yours First

If you’ve been dreaming about attending the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, now’s the time to check your inbox.

Starting Tuesday, March 31, the first wave of email invitations to purchase tickets is rolling out—and millions are hoping to score a spot.

📩 The First Ticket Wave Is Coming

Olympic organizers say more than 5 million fans have already registered for a chance to buy tickets. But not everyone will get access right away.

A select group of fans will receive presale invitations between March 31 and April 4. These invites will go out in waves, so if you don’t see one immediately, don’t panic just yet.

🌴 Who Gets Early Access?

The very first tickets—available April 2 through April 6—are reserved for residents in the Los Angeles and Oklahoma City areas.

To qualify, buyers must use a payment method tied to a billing ZIP code in eligible counties:

California: Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura
Oklahoma: Oklahoma, Cleveland, Canadian

If you’re eligible, you’ll be able to grab tickets for everything—from individual sporting events to the highly anticipated opening and closing ceremonies.

📅 When Are the 2028 Olympics?

Mark your calendars:

Olympic Games: July 14–30, 2028
Paralympic Games: August 15–27, 2028

🎫 Ticket Limits & Prices

There are a few limits to keep in mind:

Up to 4 tickets per ceremony
Up to 12 total tickets for Olympic events
Plus, up to 12 soccer tournament tickets (these don’t count toward the main limit)

And here’s the good news—ticket prices are expected to start as low as $28, making the Games more accessible than ever.

⏳ Important Dates to Know

Here’s a quick breakdown so you don’t miss your chance:

March 31 – April 4: Presale invites sent to LA & OKC residents
April 2: Presale begins for local residents
April 7: “Drop 1” invites sent to randomly selected global fans
April 9: First round of general ticket sales opens

If you’re selected, you’ll get a 48-hour window to shop. Once tickets are in your cart, you’ll have 30 minutes to check out—so be ready.

⚠️ One More Thing…

Officials are urging fans to avoid third-party resale sites for now. A verified resale program won’t launch until 2027, so buying outside official channels could be risky.

For those looking to elevate the experience, premium hospitality packages are already available through the official provider.

Bottom line: the countdown to LA28 is officially on, and tickets are about to be one of the hottest items on the planet. If you signed up, keep a close eye on your email—you might be heading to the Olympics sooner than you think.

Step Aside, Couch Gamers: This VR Treadmill Lets You Walk Inside the Game

2026-03-30T18:27:00Z

Image Credit: NoahPlayzVR on YouTube.com

Virtual reality has come a long way, but let’s be honest—most of us are still experiencing it from the couch or standing in one spot, waving controllers around. Not exactly the full “living inside the game” fantasy.

That’s where the Omni One comes in.

This new VR system is designed to get you off the couch and into the action—literally. Instead of relying on thumbsticks to move, the Omni One lets you physically walk, run, and even jump your way through virtual worlds.

Created by tech company Virtuix, the system has been more than a decade in the making. CEO Jan Goetgeluk says the goal was simple: make VR feel natural by using your whole body, not just your hands.

And the setup is pretty wild.

The Omni One uses a low-friction, bowl-shaped platform paired with special shoes that let you glide as you move. You’re secured into a support ring for stability, so you can walk or run in place without worrying about losing your balance. Once you strap on a VR headset—like the popular Meta Quest—you’re ready to go.

The result? A much more immersive experience than traditional VR.

At first, there’s a bit of a learning curve. Walking on a slick surface while your brain thinks you’re trekking through ancient ruins or city streets can feel strange. But once it clicks, it starts to feel surprisingly natural—and a whole lot more engaging than standing still.

Beyond gaming, there’s another big selling point: fitness.

Think of it as a Peloton for gamers. You’re not just playing—you’re moving, getting your steps in, and actually breaking a sweat while exploring virtual environments.

Of course, that next-level experience comes at a price. The Omni One starts around $2,600 (headset not included), and there’s an optional subscription—about $14 a month—for access to certain online games.

Still, for gamers looking to fully step inside their favorite worlds, this might be as close as it gets… at least until we’re all living in the metaverse for real.

Lights, Camera... New Location: The Oscars Are Leaving Hollywood for a Downtown Glow-Up

2026-03-27T18:58:00Z

The Oscars will be held at a new venue beginning in 2029, as the ceremony moves from its longtime home at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre to the L.A. Live entertainment complex in downtown Los Angeles, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and AEG announced on Thursday.

The 101st Oscars will be held at the Peacock Theater, where the annual ceremony will remain through 2039, according to a new release.

"As part of this partnership, AEG will undertake comprehensive enhancements to the theater, including upgrades to its stage, sound and lighting systems, lobbies, backstage facilities and additional production-critical areas," the statement said. "AEG will collaborate closely with the Academy to incorporate bespoke design elements needed to accommodate the Oscars ceremony."

L.A. Live's recently expanded plaza will host red carpet arrivals and activities, and the theater will be the first venue to host the Oscars when it becomes available on YouTube through a deal with the Academy, which also begins in 2029, officials said.

"L.A. LIVE was built to host the moments that define culture, and there is no greater global stage than the Oscars," said Todd Goldstein, AEG's chief revenue officer. "We're proud to partner with the Academy to reimagine what the Oscars can look and feel like in the years ahead."

The Academy Awards will continue to be held at the Dolby Theatre and televised live on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide through the 100th Oscars in 2028.

Couch Class Is Coming: United's 'Relax Row' Could Change Economy Flying Forever

2026-03-26T18:30:00Z

Air travel might be getting a serious comfort upgrade—especially if you’re stuck in the back of the plane.

United Airlines has announced a brand-new seating concept called “United Relax Row,” designed to give economy passengers more space to stretch out on long-haul flights. And honestly, it sounds like a pretty big step up from the usual cramped experience.

The idea is simple but appealing: an entire row of seats that can transform into a couch-like setup. These custom-designed seats will feature adjustable leg rests that lift and lower, allowing passengers to create a lie-flat space—something typically reserved for much pricier tickets.

According to the airline, the whole row is yours, making it a great option for families with kids, couples, or even solo travelers who just want a little extra breathing room without splurging on business class.

But it’s not just about the seats. Travelers who book a Relax Row can expect a handful of upgraded amenities, including a fitted mattress pad, plush blanket, extra pillows, and even kid-friendly extras like a stuffed toy and travel kit for families.

The rollout is still a couple of years away, with United planning to introduce Relax Row in 2027. The airline aims to expand the offering to more than 200 widebody aircraft—including Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 jets—by 2030.

These upgraded rows will sit between standard economy and premium economy seating, with up to 12 sections available per aircraft.

The move comes as demand for more comfortable travel options continues to rise. United’s Chief Commercial Officer, Andrew Nocella, says the goal is to give long-haul economy passengers a better experience without forcing them into higher fare classes.

And if it all rolls out as planned, United could be the first North American airline offering something like it—potentially changing how we think about flying economy altogether.

If you’ve been anywhere near baseball fans lately, chances are you’ve heard whispers (or loud debates) about the 999 Challenge making a comeback. It’s not new—but like a lot of ballpark traditions, it’s having a moment again as the latest Major League Baseball season gets underway.

So what exactly is it? The concept is deceptively simple—and wildly ambitious: eat nine hot dogs, drink nine beers, all over the course of a nine-inning baseball game. That’s the whole challenge. Easy, right? Not so fast.

The “Simple” Rules That Aren’t So Simple

The idea has been floating around for years (dating back at least to a 2011 write-up by Bleacher Report), and on paper it sounds straightforward. But once you start breaking it down, reality hits.

First off: the cost. If you’re attempting this at a stadium like Fenway Park, you’re looking at roughly $10 per beer and $7 per hot dog. Multiply that by nine innings, and suddenly your “fun challenge” is running you about $150+ for the night.

Then there’s the logistics. You’re on a strict inning-by-inning pace, which means no falling behind early. Miss an inning, and you’re playing catch-up with both food and beer—which sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen.

Timing Is Everything

Not all games are created equal, and that’s a huge factor here. A long, drawn-out rivalry game gives you a fighting chance. A quick, low-scoring pitcher’s duel? You’re toast.

And don’t forget one crucial rule of the ballpark: beer sales usually stop after the 7th inning. That alone can derail even the most dedicated challenger.

Strategy Session: Proceed With Caution

In a highly scientific group chat debate (read: friends and family arguing), a few strategies emerged:

Start strong—don’t pace too slowly early on
“Double up” in the first few innings (two beers, two dogs)
Know your limits… seriously

One friend even suggested going full speed early and coasting late—but that assumes your stomach doesn’t tap out first.

The Verdict: Stadium vs. Couch

After weighing the cost, timing, and overall level of chaos, there was one clear conclusion:
The 999 Challenge is probably best attempted at home.

You’ve got cheaper food, no cutoff times, and—most importantly—a bathroom that isn’t shared with 30,000 people.

Real Ones Have Tried

Of course, people have taken a crack at it in the wild:

A group at Dodger Stadium gave it a go… and didn’t quite make it
Others have successfully completed it at home while watching games (arguably the superior move)
And in one chaotic twist, someone even turned it into a skateboarding challenge—adding tricks into the mix for an extra level of insanity

Final Thoughts

The 999 Challenge lives in that perfect space between legendary and questionable decision-making. It’s part endurance test, part financial commitment, and part badge of honor for diehard baseball fans.

Could you pull it off? Maybe.
Should you try? That’s a different conversation entirely.

$1,000 Hot Cocoa Cocktail? NYC Just Took Luxury to a Whole New Level

2026-03-24T18:50:00Z

Image Credit: New York Post @nypost on X

If you thought the cost of living in New York City couldn’t get any more outrageous… think again.

A high-end Midtown restaurant, Benjamin Steakhouse, is turning heads (and stomachs) with a brand-new cocktail that’s as over-the-top as it is expensive. The drink, called the Versailles Velour, comes with a jaw-dropping $1,000 price tag—and yes, it’s topped with actual gold leaf.

According to reports from New York Post, the cocktail draws inspiration from the lavish excess of the French royal court. Because apparently, nothing says “casual night out” like sipping on something modeled after aristocratic indulgence.

Let’s pause for a second: one thousand dollars… for a drink.

In a city already notorious for sky-high prices, this feels like a whole new level of luxury. Sure, New York City has never exactly been known for bargains, but this pushes things into surreal territory. It’s the kind of item that exists less for the average customer and more for spectacle—the kind of thing built for social media buzz, influencer reactions, and “you won’t believe this” headlines.

And honestly, that might be the point.

Because while most people are just trying to make rent, there’s clearly a market—however niche—for ultra-premium, experience-driven splurges. Whether it’s curiosity, status, or just the novelty of drinking something with gold on top, someone out there is going to order it.

Still, a hot cocoa-inspired cocktail at that price? That’s where opinions start to split. For some, it’s indulgent fun. For others, it’s a symbol of how wildly disconnected luxury spending can feel from everyday reality.

Either way, one thing’s certain: only in New York City could a $1,000 hot chocolate cocktail not only exist—but probably sell.

Where Do All the Unsold Girl Scout Cookies Go? The Sweet Truth Behind the Leftovers

2026-03-23T17:08:00Z

It’s hard to imagine a world where a box of Thin Mints or Peanut Butter Patties sits around untouched—but believe it or not, it happens every Girl Scout cookie season. And when it does, the Girl Scouts have a few ways to handle the leftovers.

Across the country, local councils can end up with unsold boxes for a variety of reasons. It’s not the same everywhere, but troop leaders often point to rising prices, tighter budgets due to inflation, bad weather hurting in-person sales, and the growing number of copycat cookies popping up at major retailers.

One troop leader shared online that sales have taken a noticeable hit: what used to be 100 boxes sold in a day dropped to just 20 this year. Others say the increase in grocery store “dupes” is making it harder to compete.

So what happens when those cookies don’t sell?

Sometimes troops try to move inventory by transferring boxes to higher-performing groups or extending their sales beyond the official season. But those workarounds aren’t always encouraged—and in some cases, councils may even penalize troops for bending the rules.

The most widely accepted solution? Giving them away.

According to official guidance, donating leftover cookies is not only allowed—it’s encouraged. Troops often partner with food pantries, charities, and community organizations to turn extra cookies into a small treat for people in need. It’s a win-win that helps reduce waste while spreading a little joy.

Behind the scenes, the two licensed bakeries that produce Girl Scout cookies—ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers—also have systems in place to manage unsold inventory responsibly. While details are limited, past reports suggest that some extras may end up donated to charitable causes or distributed to places like prisons.

At the local level, councils have gotten creative with donations, sending cookies to first responders, veterans’ groups, senior living communities, and food banks.

There are also organized programs like “Care to Share,” “Cookie Share,” and “Gift of Caring,” where customers can buy cookies specifically to be donated. In some cases, these efforts add up in a big way—hundreds of thousands of boxes have been distributed through these programs alone.

And if there are still cookies left after all that?

Well, they don’t exactly go to waste. Some troops use them in recipes, stash them away for later, or simply enjoy the extras themselves. As one person put it online, sometimes those unsold boxes just end up in a closet—waiting to be eaten by a very happy household.

So while it might feel like every box should disappear instantly, the reality is a little more complicated. But whether they’re sold, shared, or snacked on later, those cookies almost always find a home.

Chuck Norris, Martial Arts Icon and Action Star, Dies at 86

2026-03-20T18:17:00Z

Legendary actor and martial artist Chuck Norris has passed away at the age of 86, according to statements from his family.

In a heartfelt message shared on social media, the Norris family confirmed his passing, saying he died peacefully while surrounded by loved ones. While they chose to keep the details private, their tribute painted a picture of a man who meant far more than his public persona.

Norris first rose to fame in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming a staple of action cinema with roles in films like Missing in Action, The Delta Force, and Lone Wolf McQuade. His tough-guy image, combined with real-life martial arts expertise, helped set him apart in a crowded Hollywood landscape.

He later cemented his legacy on the small screen as Cordell Walker in the hit CBS series Walker, Texas Ranger. The long-running show turned Norris into a household name and a symbol of justice, discipline, and grit.

Beyond Hollywood, Norris was a true martial arts master, holding black belts in multiple disciplines. He also authored several books focused on fitness, philosophy, and personal development, inspiring fans both physically and mentally.

“To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength,” his family shared. “To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather… and the heart of our family.”

They described a man who lived with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to those he loved—someone whose influence extended far beyond the screen.

Norris’ impact on pop culture is undeniable. From blockbuster action roles to his later internet-era persona as an almost mythic figure of toughness, he remained relevant across generations.

The family also expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support in recent weeks, especially following his hospitalization. They asked for privacy as they navigate this loss, while thanking fans for their continued love.

“Thank you for loving him with us,” the statement concluded.

With his passing, the world loses not just an action legend, but a figure who inspired millions through discipline, resilience, and heart.

Uber Identity Fraud Claims Raise New Safety Concerns for Riders

2026-03-19T18:45:00Z

Uber Identity Fraud Claims Raise New Safety Concerns for Riders

If you’ve ever hopped into an Uber thinking your driver has been fully vetted, a new investigation suggests it might not always be that simple.

A report from CBS News California Investigates is shining a light on a growing issue: alleged identity fraud tied to Uber driver accounts. According to the investigation, stolen identities may be used to create fake driver profiles—potentially allowing individuals to bypass background checks and operate on the platform under someone else’s name.

A Growing Concern Behind the Wheel

California leads the nation in rideshare drivers, with more than 800,000 on the road as of late 2025. But consumer advocates warn that among those drivers, some accounts may not belong to the people actually behind the wheel.

The issue first came to light when people across the country began receiving unexpected IRS Form 1099s—tax documents showing income earned from Uber… despite never signing up to drive.

That’s more than just a paperwork problem.

“That’s a public safety issue,” one identity theft victim said. “You never know who’s picking you up.”

Victims Speak Out

Several individuals reported receiving tax forms listing thousands of dollars in Uber earnings under their names.

A couple in Woodland Hills was shocked to receive a 1099 showing nearly $7,000 in income over just two months.
One woman reported $4,100 in earnings tied to her name.
Another man said he received documents claiming $12,000 in Uber income—without ever driving.

After the story aired, dozens more people came forward with similar experiences.

Even more concerning? Many say getting help from Uber has been difficult.

Some victims reported uploading documents and filing fraud claims through the company’s website—only to receive little or no response.

Uber Responds

Uber declined to do an interview but released a statement saying it is actively investigating all fraud reports.

The company says:

Fraudulent accounts are permanently banned when identified
Corrected 1099 forms are issued showing $0 income
These cases represent a “very small fraction” of total accounts

Uber also noted that the incidents appear consistent with broader identity theft trends, not a breach of its internal systems.

Bigger Questions About Safety

Still, the situation raises a critical concern: Can riders be sure their driver is who the app says they are?

Consumer rights attorney Todd Friedman, who filed a class-action lawsuit against Uber in 2024, says the volume of complaints is alarming. His office has reportedly received hundreds of calls from potential victims.

And the issue isn’t limited to California—similar reports have surfaced nationwide.

For many riders, that uncertainty hits close to home.

“To think there could be criminals driving us around… I thought it was legitimate,” said one concerned parent.

What You Can Do If You’re Affected

If you suspect your identity has been used fraudulently for an Uber account, here are some steps to take:

Report the issue to the IRS
File a fraud claim directly with Uber
Submit a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
File a police report
Consider freezing your credit for added protection

The Bottom Line

While Uber maintains these cases are rare, the growing number of reports is raising real concerns about both identity theft and rider safety. For now, experts suggest riders take advantage of in-app safety features—like trip sharing, PIN verification, and audio recording—whenever possible.

Because as this investigation suggests, sometimes the name in the app might not tell the whole story.

The 9 Most Expensive Sports in the World (And Why Youth Sports Are Getting So Pricey)

2026-03-16T18:18:00Z

The 9 Most Expensive Sports in the World (And Why Youth Sports Are Getting So Pricey)

If it feels like youth sports are getting more expensive every year, that’s because they are.

Over the past few decades, the cost of youth athletics has steadily climbed—but in the last five years, the spike has been especially dramatic. On average, youth sports costs have increased 46% in just five years. In fact, 2024 was the first year the average American family spent more than $1,000 per child on sports, and that number keeps rising.

Why the surge? Several factors are driving the price explosion: year-round competition, early specialization, expensive travel teams, and reduced public funding for youth sports programs. While some sports have always had massive barriers to entry (think boats, race cars, or horses), others have simply become more competitive—and more costly—over time.

Here are nine of the most expensive sports in the world, where the price tag can easily climb from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

1. Auto Racing

At the top levels, auto racing is practically reserved for the ultra-wealthy.

Elite racing circuits like Formula 1 operate on staggering budgets. Teams now work under a spending cap that has grown into the hundreds of millions of dollars annually—and that’s just the team’s operating budget.

Even at a smaller scale, the sport is extremely expensive. Competitive kart racing, often the entry point for young drivers, can cost $50,000 or more per year. Between specialized karts, constant repairs, replacement parts, training, travel, and racing simulators, the expenses add up fast. And as drivers progress, the equipment becomes even more costly.

2. Elite Sailing

Anything involving boats tends to come with a hefty price tag—and competitive sailing is no exception.

Entry-level sailing programs can cost around $5,000 per year, but the expenses skyrocket at the elite level. Competitive sailing boats frequently exceed $100,000, and major competitions can run into the millions.

For example, a winning America’s Cup campaign in 2013 was estimated to cost around $300 million when factoring in the boat, crew, research, and logistics.

And that doesn’t even include docking fees, trailers, travel, maintenance, and the constant battle against saltwater corrosion.

3. Polo

No surprise here—polo has long been associated with wealth.

Before even stepping onto the field, players must learn to ride horses, with lessons sometimes costing $200 per hour. Then comes the biggest expense: the horse itself.

Top polo horses can cost over $1 million, and even getting started in the sport often requires $40,000 to $100,000. Add in boarding, feed, veterinary care, and equipment, and polo quickly becomes one of the most expensive sports on the planet.

In short: if your kid shows interest in polo, be prepared for a serious financial commitment.

4. Alpine Skiing

Alpine skiing is expensive from the moment you step on the mountain.

Lift tickets, lessons, and gear can easily total thousands of dollars each season. But competitive skiers often go much further, traveling across continents to chase year-round snow conditions.

Elite ski academies—which train the next generation of competitive racers—can cost up to $100,000 per year, and that often doesn’t include travel expenses.

5. Equestrian

Equestrian sports—including show jumping, dressage, and competitive riding—are among the most expensive in the world.

The first major investment is the horse itself. Competitive horses can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they require constant care. Boarding, training, feed, veterinary bills, and stable staff all add to the yearly costs.

Then there’s transportation—horse trailers, specialized trucks, and travel to competitions around the country.

For serious riders, spending $100,000 per year or more is not unusual.

6. Ice Hockey

Compared to horse sports and racing, hockey might sound reasonable—but it’s still one of the most expensive youth sports around.

The biggest factor? Ice time.

Maintaining ice rinks is costly, and those expenses are passed on to players. Then there’s the equipment—pads, helmets, skates, sticks, and protective gear—all of which need regular replacement.

Competitive youth travel teams can easily cost up to $20,000 per year, especially once travel, tournaments, and hotels are included.

7. Triathlon and Cycling

Triathlons combine three sports—swimming, cycling, and running—which means athletes often need gear for all three.

The cycling portion alone can break the bank. High-end time-trial or triathlon bikes can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Add in aerodynamic helmets, specialized shoes, wetsuits, race suits, and travel to competitions, and the expenses quickly multiply.

Even youth triathletes are now competing at elite levels and traveling across the country to race—making the sport increasingly costly for families.

8. Golf

Golf may look relaxing, but it’s far from cheap.

Getting started usually means lessons plus a decent set of clubs, which can cost $1,000–$2,000 or more. Equipment upgrades are frequent as new technology hits the market.

Then there are greens fees, practice range costs, and endless supplies of golf balls and gloves.

And once golfers catch the travel bug—visiting famous courses around the country—the costs only grow.

9. Lacrosse

Lacrosse has exploded in popularity in recent years, especially in the United States.

But the sport comes with its own set of expensive requirements: helmets, pads, sticks, gloves, and cleats. Competitive travel teams and tournaments also drive up the cost.

At the youth level alone, lacrosse can run around $4,000 per year, and that doesn’t include travel, hotels, or tournament fees.

The Bottom Line

Youth sports can offer incredible benefits—teamwork, discipline, fitness, and lifelong friendships. But the rising costs are making participation increasingly difficult for many families.

Whether it’s ice time, race cars, or million-dollar horses, some sports have always come with big price tags. But as travel leagues and year-round competition become the norm, even traditionally affordable sports are becoming expensive.

For many parents today, supporting their child’s athletic dreams often means making a serious financial investment.

Mystery Amazon Returns Pallet Could Be Worth Thousands... or Nothing

2026-03-11T16:58:00Z

Inside a $13K Amazon Returns Pallet: Did This Guy Actually Make Money?

Buying pallets of returned merchandise has become a popular side hustle, especially for people hoping to flip discounted items for a profit. But how risky is it really?

One YouTuber decided to find out the hard way.

Harrison Nevel spent $3,345 on a massive pallet of returned electronics that originally retailed for $13,252. The pallet came packed with items that had been sent back to Amazon — meaning some might be perfectly fine, while others could be completely broken.

So the big question: Was it worth the gamble?

The Treasure Hunt Begins

Before opening the pallet, Harrison pointed out that buying returns is always a risk. There’s no guarantee the products will work, and sometimes they’re damaged beyond repair.

Still, he dove in.

Inside the pallet was a mixed bag of tech and household items, including:

Electric guitars
A Nintendo Switch
Coffee machines
Small kitchen appliances
A robot vacuum
And a 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor

The massive gaming monitor alone was a promising start. It normally sells for around $1,184 new, and luckily it worked. Harrison estimated he could resell it for about $400 on the secondary market.

Some Hits… and a Lot of Misses

As he kept digging, the results were mixed.

Two electric guitars were inside the pallet, but neither was perfect. One had significant damage and was only worth about $225, while the other was missing a backplate, dropping its resale value to roughly $350.

Then there were the smaller household items:

A barely functioning Roomba robot vacuum worth about $45
A panini press valued around $65
A toaster that could sell for roughly $20

Unfortunately, several other appliances were simply too dirty or damaged to sell at all, including a vacuum cleaner and a fan.

The coffee machines were another mixed result. One was completely broken, while the other had clearly seen better days but could still sell for about $75.

The Biggest Finds

A couple of items really helped boost the potential profit.

The Nintendo Switch turned on and worked perfectly, which meant it could likely be resold for around $460.

But the real jackpot came from a Canon camera and lens buried in the pallet. Harrison estimated the camera could resell for about $1,250, while the lens alone might fetch $1,800.

So… Did He Actually Make Money?

After testing everything, Harrison discovered that only about 30–40% of the items actually worked.

Still, once he added up the estimated resale prices, the total came to $5,281.

Considering he paid $3,345 for the pallet, that leaves a potential profit of $1,936.

Of course, that doesn’t include selling fees, shipping costs, or the time it takes to list and sell everything. But even after those expenses, it looks like the gamble might have paid off.

The Takeaway

Buying return pallets can definitely be profitable, but it’s far from guaranteed. As this experiment shows, you might strike gold with a few valuable items — but you’ll also end up with plenty of junk along the way.

For Harrison, though, the $3,000 gamble turned out to be a pretty solid score.

Great Wolf Lodge Just Dropped a Ranch Milkshake (Yes, Ranch)

2026-03-04T19:00:00Z

If you thought 2026 couldn’t get any weirder, buckle up.

Great Wolf Lodge Just Dropped a Ranch Milkshake (Yes, Ranch)

The indoor waterpark chain known for waterslides, wave pools, and sugar-fueled family chaos has announced a new limited-time milkshake flavor… and it’s not chocolate. It’s not strawberry. It’s not even some over-the-top birthday cake situation.

Image Credit: Great Wolf Lodge

It’s vanilla and ranch dressing.

Take a moment. I’ll wait.

Somewhere in the Midwest, a chorus of ranch lovers just stood up and applauded. The rest of us are still trying to process the idea of sipping a mayonnaise-based salad dressing blended with ice cream.

What’s Actually In This Thing?

Oh, it gets better.

This ranch-forward creation isn’t just a plain shake. It comes fully loaded with:

Carrots
Celery
Crispy chicken
A salty lime-coated rim
Whipped cream on top

It’s basically a salad bar collided with a dessert menu.

The shake will be available from March 5 through March 20, strategically overlapping with National Ranch Day on March 10. On that sacred day, the shake will cost just $3.10, making it dangerously affordable for anyone curious enough (or chaotic enough) to try it.

Haven’t We Been Here Before?

This isn’t the first time ranch has wandered into frozen dessert territory. A few years ago, ice cream brand Van Leeuwenteamed up with Hidden Valley Ranch for a ranch-flavored ice cream collaboration.

The verdict back then? Surprisingly not horrifying at first sip. The vanilla base carried most of the weight, but those savory herbs and spices crept in during the aftertaste like an uninvited guest who refuses to leave.

In other words: tolerable… but not something you’re craving at 10 p.m.

Would You Drink This After Water Slides?

There are nearly two dozen Great Wolf Lodge locations across the country, meaning plenty of opportunities to test your taste buds (and possibly your stomach lining).

Is this the ideal treat after a long day of chlorine, wave pools, and indoor waterslides? Hard to say. Ranch loyalists are a fearless bunch. For some, this might be the ultimate day-trip indulgence. For others, it’s a social experiment disguised as dessert.

Will it earn a spot among the best milkshakes in America? Probably not.

But will people try it? Absolutely.

Because deep down, we’re all just curious enough to ask:

How bad could ranch ice cream really be?

"That's Not Capri Sun!": South Fulton Police Department Warns Parents After Boozy Lunchbox Mix-Ups

2026-03-03T18:35:00Z

The South Fulton Police Department is going viral again — and this time, they’ve got a message for parents: make sure your kid’s lunchbox doesn’t require a government-issued ID.

“That Is NOT Capri Sun”

In a recent social media post, the department shared that they’ve received reports of pre-mixed alcoholic cocktails — including drinks like Cutwater Margarita — being accidentally packed alongside elementary school staples.

Their blunt (and hilarious) reminder?

“That is NOT Capri Sun. That is a whole ‘Parent had a long night’ starter pack.”

According to the post, beverages boasting 12% ABV have no business hanging out next to a PB&J. Officers painted a pretty vivid hypothetical scenario:

“Now little Johnny done pulled up to 3rd period talking about: ‘Who want fruit snacks?’ knowing good and well, he got a Lemon Drop Martini in the zipper pocket.”

The department stressed that while mornings can be chaotic, there’s no excuse for a lunchbox mix-up that lands a third grader in the cafeteria with something stronger than chocolate milk.

“TIGHTEN UP TWIN!”

The post, part warning and part comedy routine, encouraged parents to slow down during the morning rush and double-check those backpacks before sending kids off to school.

Their simple three-point checklist:

Homework
Lunch packed
Alcoholic beverages removed

And in true South Fulton fashion, the reminder came with a direct callout:

“Your child shouldn’t be the only one in the cafeteria with a beverage that requires an ID. TIGHTEN UP TWIN!”

They also made it clear: if parents don’t catch the mistake, school officials will — joking that bags may need to be “audited” before school resource officers end up doing inventory at recess.

Is This Happening — or Just a PSA?

The department didn’t specify whether a real incident sparked the post or if it was simply a proactive (and creative) warning. Either way, it definitely grabbed attention.

The “Hey Twin” Effect

This post is just the latest installment in the department’s wildly popular “Hey Twin” Facebook campaign. The initiative uses humor, trending slang, and local lingo to connect with the community — especially younger residents.

By leaning into social media culture and showcasing officers’ personalities, the department has managed to humanize law enforcement while also generating buzz. With a relatively young force behind the keyboard, the tone feels less like a lecture and more like a viral meme with a badge.

It’s community engagement — with a side of punchline.

And if nothing else, it’s a reminder to maybe keep the margaritas out of the lunchbox.

Burger King Is Testing AI Headsets That Track If Employees Say

2026-03-02T19:48:00Z

Burger King is testing AI-powered headsets that can recite recipes, alert managers when inventories are low and even track how friendly employees are to customers.

Restaurant Brands International – the Miami-based company that owns Burger King, Popeyes and other brands – said Thursday it’s currently testing the OpenAI-powered headsets in 500 U.S. restaurants.

The system collects data on restaurant operations and shares it via “Patty,” a voice that talks to employees through their headsets. If the drink machine is low on Diet Coke, Patty will tell the store’s manager. If a customer uses a QR code to report a messy bathroom, the manager will be alerted.

Employees can ask Patty how to make various menu items or tell Patty to remove items from digital menus if they’ve run out of ingredients.

Burger King said it’s also exploring using Patty as a way to improve customer service. The system can track when employees say key words like “welcome,” “please” and “thank you” and share that with managers.

When asked about that capability Thursday by The Associated Press, Burger King said the intent is to use Patty as a coaching tool, not a tracker of individual employees.

“It’s not about scoring individuals or enforcing scripts. It’s about reinforcing great hospitality and giving managers helpful, real-time insights so they can recognize their teams more effectively,” Burger King said in a statement.

Burger King added that the key words are “one of many signals to help managers understand service patterns.”

“We believe hospitality is fundamentally human. The role of this technology is to support our teams so they can stay present with guests,” Burger King said.

Patty is part of a larger app-based BK Assistant platform that will be available to all U.S. restaurants later this year.

Burger King is one of several fast food chains experimenting with artificial intelligence. Yum Brands said last spring it was partnering with Nvidia to develop AI technologies for its brands, which include KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.

McDonald’s ended a partnership with IBM in 2024 that was testing automated orders at its drive-thrus. The company is now working with Google on AI systems.

The Oldest Fossilized Butthole Ever Found Is 290 Million Years Old

The Oldest Fossilized Butthole Ever Found Is 290 Million Years Old

Here’s something you probably didn’t expect to read today: scientists have discovered the world’s oldest known fossilized reptile butthole.

Nearly 300 million years ago, a small reptile paused for a rest in a patch of soft mud. It eventually got up and went on its way — but it left behind something extraordinary. That brief pit stop created the earliest known fossilized skin impression from a reptile, complete with scales and what researchers interpret as a preserved cloaca.

Yes, that cloaca.

For the uninitiated, a cloaca is a multi-purpose opening used by many animals for pooping, peeing, mating, and laying eggs. It’s essentially a one-stop biological shop. And finding one preserved in the fossil record is almost unheard of.

“Such soft-tissue structures are extremely rare in the fossil record — and the further back we look in Earth’s history, the more exceptional they become,” said paleontologist Lorenzo Marchetti of the German Natural History Museum in Berlin.

A Muddy Snapshot From the Permian

The fossil was discovered in Germany’s Thuringian Forest Basin, within the sedimentary Goldlauter Formation. Analysis shows the impression was made by a reptile about 9 centimeters (roughly 3.5 inches) long.

Marchetti and his team named the trace fossil Cabarzichnus pulchrus, identifying it as a newly described species of reptile “resting trace.” Based on its size and nearby footprints, researchers believe it was likely a bolosaurian — an early branch of reptiles that lived around 295 million years ago during the Asselian age of the early Permian period.

This was a pivotal moment in evolutionary history. Reptiles were beginning to diversify rapidly, setting the stage for the rise of dinosaurs and many modern species.

Scales, Skin — and a Showstopper

The fossil preserves an incredibly detailed belly imprint, including rows of polygonal epidermal scales made of keratin — similar to those found in modern reptiles today. These weren’t heavy, bony armor plates. They were true skin scales.

But the real headline-grabber is at the base of the tail.

There, scientists found modified scales surrounding a vent-like opening — what appears to be a cloaca. If confirmed, this makes it the earliest fossil evidence of a cloacal vent in amniotes (the group that includes reptiles, birds, and mammals).

To put that in perspective, the previous record-holder was a 120-million-year-old specimen of Psittacosaurus. This new discovery smashes that record by roughly 170 million years.

Interestingly, the shape and orientation of this ancient cloaca differ from those seen in dinosaurs and crocodiles. Instead, it more closely resembles the anatomy of modern turtles, lizards, and snakes — offering new insight into how reptile anatomy evolved over time.

Why This Matters

It might be easy to laugh at the idea of a fossilized butthole making scientific headlines, but this discovery is a big deal.

Trace fossils — which include footprints, resting impressions, and other indirect evidence of life — are often dismissed as less exciting than bones. But they can preserve soft-tissue details that skeletal fossils simply can’t.

“Trace fossils are far more than simple footprints,” Marchetti explained. “They preserve anatomical details that would otherwise be completely lost and play a key role in improving our understanding of the evolution of early terrestrial vertebrates.”

The findings were published in Current Biology and open up new perspectives on how early reptiles developed their skin and body structures.

So the next time someone says science isn’t exciting, just remind them: sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from the smallest — and most unexpected — places.

Ashley Madison's Plot Twist: From Affairs to

2026-02-26T19:11:00Z

For more than two decades, Ashley Madison built its brand around one eyebrow-raising promise: “Life is short. Have an affair.”

Now, the controversial dating platform best known for catering to married people looking to cheat says it’s turning the page.

From Affairs to “Discreet Dating”

In a major rebrand, Ashley Madison is shifting away from its longtime focus on infidelity and rolling out a new tagline: “Where Desire Meets Discretion.”

According to Chief Strategy Officer Paul Keable, the change reflects a surprising evolution in the company’s user base. While the site became infamous as a hub for extramarital affairs, 57% of new members today are actually single.

“What that told us,” Keable said in an interview with Fox News Digital, “is that people are coming to our site for a different reason — for discretion.”

Rather than positioning itself strictly as a platform for “married dating,” Ashley Madison is now framing itself as a space for private, low-profile connections — no matter someone’s relationship status.

Dating Fatigue Is Real

Keable argues the shift is less about morality and more about modern dating burnout.

After 20-plus years in the social media era, where relationships are curated and constantly visible, many users are feeling overwhelmed. Roughly 30% of online daters report feeling constant pressure to swipe, message, and perform — often without meaningful results.

And there’s another factor: visibility.

Some users don’t love the idea of coworkers or acquaintances spotting their profiles on traditional dating apps. With more people back in the office, privacy concerns are rising.

Ashley Madison says it plans to lean into that discomfort by collecting minimal personal information and focusing primarily on why users value discretion.

As Keable put it, “Your business ultimately is yours and it’s nobody else’s.”

Is Infidelity Still on the Table?

Despite the rebrand, Ashley Madison isn’t completely abandoning its roots.

A recent member survey found:

49% of respondents seek additional relationships during stressful times.
41% believe having multiple partners with different positive qualities would help them through difficult periods.

In other words, while the marketing may be shifting, the door to extramarital relationships hasn’t exactly closed.

Keable acknowledges the company has faced years of criticism but maintains that people would cheat whether or not the platform exists. He insists the rebrand isn’t about ethics — it’s about listening to members.

“This shift is a realization that people want to continue to date and connect, but under their own terms,” he said.

“Blessed Are the Discreet”

To mark the new direction, Ashley Madison is launching a fresh marketing campaign titled “Blessed Are the Discreet.”The campaign celebrates users who want intimate connections without broadcasting their personal lives to the world.

The message? Not guilt. Not shame. Just privacy.

Whether this repositioning will successfully shake the brand’s long-standing reputation remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Ashley Madison is betting that in an oversharing world, discretion is the new desire.

Smart Underwear Is Tracking Your Farts - And the Results Are Blowing Up

2026-02-25T18:21:00Z

Everyone does it. Call it breaking wind, cutting the cheese, or sounding the trumpet — farting is just part of being human. But when does “normal” turn into “too much”?

That’s exactly what researchers at the University of Maryland are trying to figure out — and they’re doing it with something called “Smart Underwear.”

Yes, It’s Exactly What It Sounds Like

Led by Brantley Hall, an assistant professor in the university’s Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, the nationwide study aims to finally answer a question doctors hear all the time: How much gas is excessive?

According to Hall, gastroenterologists are flooded with patients complaining about excess intestinal gas — and there’s surprisingly little solid data to guide them.

“It’s expensive, it’s time consuming, but there’s really no answer,” Hall said of current diagnostic efforts.

So he built one.

About five years ago, Hall and his research team developed a wearable device — roughly the size of a quarter — that clips onto underwear. Using electrochemical sensors, the device tracks how often someone passes gas throughout the day.

Science has officially entered the chat.

The Early Results Might Surprise You

In a small “proof of concept” study published in December involving 19 adults, researchers found that participants passed gas an average of 32 times per day — more than double the amount commonly cited in medical literature.

But here’s where it gets interesting: the numbers varied wildly.

Two participants who reported eating the same diet passed gas 175 times and five times, respectively, in a single day.

That kind of gap is exactly what Hall wants to understand.

The Human Flatulence Study Is Blowing Up

In mid-February, the team launched the full-scale “Human Flatulence Study,” originally hoping to recruit 800 participants.

Hall admits he would have been thrilled if even 10 people signed up in the first week.

Instead? More than 3,000 volunteers from nearly all 50 states have already enrolled.

“It turns out people are extremely interested and want to know whether they’re farting a normal amount,” Hall said.

Participants have been surprisingly open, sharing personal — and sometimes embarrassing — stories about untimely gas incidents. According to Hall, that openness may be the biggest surprise of all.

What Happens Next?

Researchers will track participants’ food intake and aim to standardize diets as much as possible. They’re also collecting detailed demographic information to help pinpoint why some people are more… musically inclined than others.

Preliminary results are expected within about a year.

The study is limited to U.S. participants, so it won’t represent the entire world. But with thousands of volunteers, Hall believes they’ll capture a wide range of data across the population.

So if you’ve ever wondered whether your daily gas output is normal — science may soon have an answer.

Until then, you can blame it on research.

The Dodge Viper That Spent 28 Years in the Sky - And What They Found Inside

2026-02-23T20:17:00Z

For nearly 30 years, one of the most unusual landmarks in Kentucky wasn’t a building or a billboard — it was a bright red sports car suspended 30 feet in the air.

And when it finally came back down, what people found inside shocked just about everyone.

A Dodge Viper in the Sky

Back in May 1996, Audubon Chrysler in Kentucky had a bold idea. Instead of simply putting a brand-new Dodge Viper RT/10 on the lot and waiting for a buyer, the dealership decided to turn it into a marketing spectacle.

They hoisted the Viper onto a 30-foot pole outside the dealership, transforming it into both an eye-catching advertisement and an unofficial mascot.

What made it even more wild? The car was — and still is — the real deal. Not a replica. Not a shell. A genuine Viper with just 12 original miles on the odometer.

The car only came down once over the years, in 2009, for a refresh. Otherwise, it sat perched above the dealership, becoming a beloved local landmark and sparking all kinds of rumors. Many locals were convinced it couldn’t possibly be a real car after decades exposed to the elements.

They were wrong.

Back to Earth — and a Big Surprise

In November 2024, 15 years after its last restoration, the sky-high Viper was finally lowered again for inspection.

Photos shared on Facebook by Scott Harris captured the moment the car was brought down. According to Harris, what was supposed to be a simple refresh quickly turned into a much bigger project.

And he wasn’t exaggerating.

After nearly three decades in the air, the damage was clear:

The once-striking red paint had badly deteriorated
The interior was filled with mold
A full bird’s nest had been built inside the engine bay

It wasn’t exactly showroom condition.

Bringing the Legend Back to Life

Despite the wear and tear, the Viper was far from beyond saving.

The car was sent to Keen’s Auto Body and Paint, where a team of specialists got to work restoring its iconic red finish.

“It’s not every day you get to bring new life to a car with such history and visibility,” the shop shared, acknowledging the Viper’s status as a community landmark.

After extensive work, the legendary pole-sitting sports car was fully restored — and once again looks as stunning as it did back in May 1996.

A Marketing Stunt That Became History

What started as a clever sales tactic turned into one of the most recognizable roadside attractions in the area. For nearly three decades, the sky-high Dodge Viper wasn’t just an ad — it was part of the community’s identity.

And now, refreshed and revived, it’s ready to keep turning heads for years to come — whether it’s 30 feet in the air or back on solid ground.

GRVNT (pronounced “Grant”) is an alternative rock artist from Hollywood, CA, whose music centers around vulnerability in processing trauma and finding ways to move on. Inspired by heavy music, pop, and cinematic soundscapes, GRVNT offers a genre-blending experience for fans of bands like Bad Omens and Pierce the Veil - as well as pop artists like Joji and Justin Bieber.

His new song “all my love” is about the kind of loss that empties you out completely. The repeated line “why’d you go and take all my love?” reflects the feeling of losing someone so important that it feels like your ability to love disappears with them. The song sits in that numb space after grief, where you’re still here, but not fully yourself anymore.

Indiana Advances Stadium Plan for the Chicago Bears

2026-02-19T19:32:00Z

The Chicago Bears may be inching closer to a big move — and it could take them just across the state line.

Indiana Advances Stadium Plan for the Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears are one step closer to potentially building a new stadium in Hammond, Indiana, after a key Indiana House committee unanimously approved a framework bill on Thursday.

The Indiana House Ways and Means Committee signed off on legislation that lays the groundwork for a potential partnership between the state and the Bears. The bill doesn’t finalize a deal, but it establishes the structure needed to negotiate one.

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said the state has identified a promising lakefront site near Wolf Lake in Hammond and is ready to move quickly.

“Indiana is open for business,” Braun said in a statement, pointing to fast coordination between state agencies, local government, and lawmakers to position the project as a potential win for Hoosiers.

According to the governor, Indiana has built a strong relationship with the Bears organization that could lead to a public-private partnership and the construction of a “world-class stadium.”

The Bears Call It a Major Step Forward

The team described the passage of SB 27 as the “most meaningful step forward” in its stadium planning efforts so far.

In a statement, the Bears said they are committed to completing the necessary site-specific due diligence to support their vision of building near the Wolf Lake area in Hammond. They also thanked Braun, Speaker Huston, Senator Mishler, and members of the Indiana General Assembly for helping create what they called a critical path forward.

If the project moves ahead, the proposed stadium would sit on thousands of acres of lakefront property near Wolf Lake — just steps from the Chicago border and roughly 22 miles from downtown Chicago. The site currently includes a concert pavilion, golf course, and driving range.

Indiana officials have indicated the state could contribute up to $1 billion toward construction, with the stadium ultimately owned by the state.

How We Got Here

Last month, the Indiana Senate advanced legislation that would create the Northwest Indiana Stadium Commission, an entity responsible for financing and building a new stadium for the Bears.

Hammond Mayor Tom McDermott Jr. confirmed the proposed site would be in Hammond. Surveyors were recently spotted working on the property, and sources say the work was being conducted on behalf of the Bears.

McDermott has argued that Hammond offers clear business advantages compared to the team’s previously proposed development in Arlington Heights.

He pointed to what he described as a stronger business climate in Indiana, including lower liability rates and a state budget surplus that could allow Indiana to put together a more competitive incentive package than Illinois.

He also questioned Illinois’ approach to negotiations, noting that the Bears are often called “the pride of Illinois” — yet, in his view, are not being treated that way.

What Happens Next?

A move to Hammond would mark a dramatic shift for one of the NFL’s oldest franchises and could reshape the team’s long-standing identity in Illinois.

For now, several key questions remain — including how Illinois lawmakers will respond. A Bears-related project bill that was expected to be discussed in Illinois on Thursday was abruptly canceled, adding another layer of uncertainty to the team’s stadium future.

One thing is clear: the stadium conversation is far from over, and the battle between Illinois and Indiana for the Bears is officially heating up.

Snoop Dogg's credit card was declined at a Winter Olympics dinner - so he made it right with a one-of-a-kind thank you to a Milan restaurant.

Even global superstars have to deal with the dreaded “card declined” moment.

While in Italy covering the upcoming Winter Games, Snoop Dogg found himself in an unexpectedly relatable situation: his credit card wouldn’t go through at dinner.

The 54-year-old rap icon is in Milan-Cortina serving as an NBC correspondent for the 2026 Winter Olympics. During a stop in Livigno, he swung by local gastropub Cronox and ordered like a man with serious cravings — a cheeseburger, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, and fries.

But when it came time to pay? Awkward.

According to Sofia Valmadre, whose family owns the restaurant, Snoop’s card simply wouldn’t process. Staff tried running it, but no luck.

“He sent his staff to take the card and pay, but they couldn’t,” Valmadre said in a video that quickly made the rounds online. “I don’t know why — it wasn’t going. So my mother told him it was OK to take the food without paying.”

Instead of making a scene, the “Gin and Juice” rapper handled it in stride. And he didn’t forget the kindness.

A short time later, Snoop repaid the family-run spot with something far more valuable than the cost of his meal: five tickets to the men’s snowboard halfpipe final at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Talk about an upgrade from fries to finals.

The wholesome moment quickly blew up on social media, with fans amused that even the man who once rapped about having his “mind on my money” still has to battle modern banking hiccups.

Snoop has been fully embracing his Olympic role, even snagging a snowboarding lesson from gold medalist Shaun White while on assignment.

Moral of the story? Sometimes your card gets declined. But if you’re Snoop Dogg, you just turn it into an Olympic-sized thank you.

Ronda Rousey Returns to the Cage in Historic Netflix MMA Event

2026-02-17T19:54:00Z

Combat sports fans, this is not a drill: Ronda Rousey is officially back.

Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) have announced a blockbuster mixed martial arts event headlined by the long-awaited return of former UFC champion and Olympic medalist Ronda Rousey. She’ll step into the cage for the first time in nearly a decade to face fellow women’s MMA trailblazer Gina Carano.

The historic showdown takes place May 16 and marks two major firsts: Netflix’s debut live MMA broadcast and MVP’s inaugural MMA event. Even bigger? The entire card will stream live, globally, at no additional cost to Netflix subscribers.

The fight will be held inside a hexagon cage at Intuit Dome, promising a spectacle that blends legacy, rivalry, and mainstream star power.

“After the record-breaking success in boxing, we wanted our first MMA event to be truly legendary,” said Netflix VP of Sports Gabe Spitzer. “These are generational stars, and having them headline our MMA debut is a defining moment for us.”

How to Watch Rousey vs. Carano

Date: May 16
Location: Intuit Dome, Los Angeles
Streaming: Live worldwide on Netflix (included with all plans)

What Weight Class Will They Fight In?

Rousey vs. Carano will be contested at featherweight (145 pounds).

Have Rousey and Carano Fought Before?

No — and that’s part of what makes this so special.

Rousey dominated women’s MMA from 2011 to 2016, redefining what was possible for female fighters. An Olympic judo medalist, she became known for lightning-fast finishes, a historic UFC title run, and later helping launch the WWE women’s division into the WrestleMania main event spotlight. Beyond the cage, she’s also a New York Times bestselling author and film star.

“Been waiting so long to announce this,” Rousey said. “Me and Gina Carano are gonna throw down in the biggest superfight in women’s combat sport history. This is for all MMA fans past, present, and future.”

Carano, often called the Face of Women’s MMA, was one of the sport’s earliest crossover stars. From 2006 to 2009, she became a mainstream sensation — long before women were even allowed to compete in the UFC. Her popularity helped bring women’s MMA to the masses, and she later transitioned into Hollywood, appearing in Haywire, Fast & Furious 6, Deadpool, and The Mandalorian.

“Ronda came to me and said there is only one person she would make a comeback for,” Carano said. “It’s been her dream to make this fight happen between us.”

Though fans dreamed about this matchup for years, it never became official — until now.

Fight Format & Rules

Rounds: 5
Round length: 5 minutes
Gloves: 4-ounce MMA gloves
Rules: Unified Rules of MMA

MMA allows fighters to strike, grapple, clinch, and take the fight to the ground — combining techniques from boxing, wrestling, judo, jiu-jitsu, and more.

How to Get Tickets

Tickets go on sale Thursday, March 5 via Ticketmaster.
Fans can also attend the official Rousey vs. Carano Kickoff Press Conference that same day at Intuit Dome.

This isn’t just a fight — it’s a moment. Two icons. One cage. And the biggest women’s MMA event in history.

ByteDance Tightens Security on AI Video Tool After Hollywood Backlash

2026-02-16T20:59:00Z

ByteDance is scrambling to reinforce safeguards on its AI video generator, Seedance 2.0, as legal pressure mounts from major Hollywood studios.

The company’s response follows a wave of cease-and-desist letters accusing the platform of using copyrighted characters and likenesses without permission—fueling a growing debate over where artificial intelligence ends and intellectual property begins.

Hollywood Takes Aim at Seedance 2.0

The controversy intensified after Disney accused ByteDance of what it called “virtual smash-and-grab” tactics. In its cease-and-desist letter, Disney claimed Seedance 2.0 relied on a “pirated library” of recognizable characters from blockbuster franchises such as Marvel and Star Wars.

Soon after, Paramount issued its own warning, alleging the platform had reproduced protected content from several iconic properties, including:

South Park
Star Trek
The Godfather
SpongeBob SquarePants
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Dora the Explorer
Avatar: The Last Airbender

Industry Groups Sound the Alarm

The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has also criticized the platform, warning that it lacks meaningful safeguards against copyright infringement.

MPA chair Charles Rivkin said services like Seedance threaten the very laws designed to protect artists and creators.

Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA condemned the unauthorized use of performers’ voices and likenesses. The Human Artistry Campaign—supported by major Hollywood unions—called the platform harmful to creative workers worldwide.

Viral Clips Spark More Scrutiny

Launched February 12, Seedance 2.0 allows users to generate short, realistic video clips from simple text prompts. While some have praised its technical quality, others have raised red flags as AI-generated scenes featuring famous characters quickly spread online.

Examples circulating on social media included:

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in a rooftop fight
Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Green Lantern fighting each other

These viral moments only intensified concerns that copyrighted characters were being used without permission.

Global Fallout

The controversy has spread beyond the U.S. The Japanese government has launched its own investigation into possible copyright violations connected to AI-generated anime content.

ByteDance has not disclosed the training data behind Seedance 2.0. However, it has temporarily disabled a feature that allowed users to upload images of real people—an apparent move to limit legal exposure.

What This Means for the Future of AI

The Seedance 2.0 dispute highlights the growing tension between fast-moving AI innovation and long-standing copyright laws. As studios push back and ByteDance tightens controls, the outcome of these legal battles could set the tone for how AI-generated content is regulated worldwide.

One thing is clear: the entertainment industry is drawing a firm line, and AI companies may soon be forced to rethink how they train and deploy creative tools.

California Ranks Among the Best States for Singles-But There's a Catch

California Ranks Among the Best States for Singles—But There’s a Catch

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and if you’re still searching for “the one,” where you live might matter more than you think.

A new study from WalletHub has ranked all 50 states based on how friendly they are for singles—and California landed near the top of the list.

WalletHub compared states across 29 different factors, grouped into three main categories:

Dating opportunities
Dating economics
Romance and fun

According to the researchers, your chances of finding love aren’t just about looks, personality, or career.

“Beyond your looks, personality, interests and career, where you live can play a major role in your chances of finding a romantic partner,” WalletHub noted. “Some places naturally make it easier to meet and connect with others.”

So… Where Did California Rank?

The Golden State placed 4th overall, trailing only Florida, New York, and Texas.

California earned a total score of 63.69 out of 100 and stood out in several major categories:

#1 in dating opportunities
#3 in romance and fun

But there was one big drawback.

When it came to dating economics—which factors in things like food and drink prices, cost of going out, median credit scores, and employment rates—California finished dead last.

In other words: there are plenty of places to go and people to meet… it just might cost you.

How California Stacks Up

Here’s how the state ranked in some key areas:

Percentage of single adults: 9th
Online dating opportunities: 3rd
Restaurants per capita: 1st
Movie theaters per capita: 1st
Average beer and wine price: 5th

WalletHub explained that cost plays a huge role in dating success:

“In states with a lower cost of living, your paycheck can go further, allowing for cheaper or more frequent dates… On the other hand, those who are more financially secure may prefer states packed with attractions that make for more memorable and unique date experiences.”

And the Worst State for Singles?

That unfortunate title goes to West Virginia.

The state ranked:

35th in dating economics
45th in romance and fun
48th in dating opportunities

Not exactly Cupid’s favorite place to work.

For a full breakdown of WalletHub’s rankings and methodology, you can check out their complete report online.

So if you’re single in California, you’ve got the options—but your wallet may feel the heartbreak first. 💔💘

California Lawmaker Wants to Cap Ticket Resale Prices to Protect Fans

2026-02-05T19:02:00Z

If you’ve ever gone to buy concert tickets only to find them sold out in seconds—then reappearing online at triple the price—you’re not alone. A new bill in California aims to put an end to that frustration.

On Thursday, Assemblymember Matt Haney (D–San Francisco) introduced AB 1720, also known as the California Fans First Act, a proposal designed to limit how much tickets for live events can be resold for.

“For decades, concert tickets were sold at face value to real fans who wanted to see the artists they loved,” Haney said. “But today, professional scalpers and bots buy up tickets in seconds and resell them at massive markups.”

What the bill would do

If passed, AB 1720 would cap resale prices at no more than 10% above face value. The rule would apply to:

Concerts
Comedy shows
Theatrical performances

However, sporting events would be excluded from the cap.

According to data cited by Haney’s office, many fans are currently paying more than double the original ticket price on secondary resale sites, with some tickets climbing several times above face value.

Why it matters

Haney says the issue goes beyond individual frustration—it’s hurting local music scenes and downtown businesses.

“California is the heart of the music industry, and we have a duty to stand with fans, artists and venues, not speculators and scalpers,” he said.

As chair of the Committee on Downtown Recovery, Haney pointed out that when fans overpay for one event, they often can’t afford to attend others. That means fewer people at independent venues, less nightlife activity, and less money flowing to small businesses.

Fans can still resell—within limits

The bill isn’t meant to block legitimate resale. If someone can’t attend an event, they could still sell their ticket—but only at a modest, regulated increase of up to 10%.

The goal, Haney says, is simple: keep tickets in the hands of real fans, not bots and scalpers.

If AB 1720 passes, California could become one of the strongest states in the country when it comes to protecting fans from ticket price gouging.

Image Cedit: Dave & Busters

This Valentine’s Day, Dave & Buster’s is turning date night into a high-stakes game of chance — with diamonds on the line.

The entertainment chain is upgrading its popular Human Crane attraction by adding some truly jaw-dropping prizes: five 3-carat diamond rings, each valued at $15,000.

The Human Crane is a life-sized version of the classic arcade claw machine. Players are lowered into a pit filled with prizes and have a limited time to grab whatever they can. On Valentine’s Day only, lucky participants at select locations will find diamond rings mixed in with the usual rewards.

Rides on the Human Crane start at $20 per person, but for some, that could turn into the most valuable grab of their lives.

“This Valentine’s Day, we’re elevating that experience even further by giving couples a chance to turn date night into a proposal they’ll never forget,” said Melissa Powers, Vice President of Marketing at Dave & Buster’s, in a press release.

The diamond-filled Human Crane will be available at select Dave & Buster’s locations, including:

New York City
W. Nyack, NY
Los Angeles, CA
Carlsbad, CA
Folsom, CA

MIT Builds a Machine That Turns Photos Into Scents

2026-02-03T19:33:00Z

What if you could smell a memory?

Researchers at MIT’s Media Lab have developed a prototype that uses generative AI to transform a photograph into a custom-made fragrance. The device, called the Anemoia Device, is being described as a “scent-memory machine” — and it may change the way we experience nostalgia forever.

The images are courtesy of MIT.

How the Anemoia Device Works

The machine is built in three vertical sections:

Top: Users insert a physical, analog photograph.
Middle: An AI-powered computer analyzes the image and lets users fine-tune the interpretation using three physical dials.
Bottom: A system of pumps blends fragrances from multiple scent reservoirs to create a unique aroma.

MIT researcher Cyrus Clarke, who created the device, says the whole process is inspired by distillation.

“You take a dense, layered memory artifact and transform it and compress it into something,” Clarke explained.

Inspired by “Anemoia”

The device is named after anemoia — a type of nostalgia for a time you’ve never personally experienced. While the machine can work with any photograph, Clarke is especially interested in “unlived memories,” such as family archives, childhood photos, or heirloom recipes.

He says this framework allows the system to start in a broad, universal space before moving into more personal emotional territory.

Turning an Image Into a Smell

The images are courtesy of MIT.

The Anemoia Device uses a vision-language model to interpret the contents of a photo, but users help guide the final result using three dials:

Point of View – Choose a subject in the photo, such as a person, tree, or object.
Lifecycle Stage – If it’s a person, select child or elderly. If it’s an object, choose from stages like “raw,” “in use,” or “decay.”
Emotional Tone – Pick a mood, such as calm, joyful, or melancholic.

These selections shape how the AI interprets the image and which scent notes are blended.

The images are courtesy of MIT.

A Real Example

In one test, a participant uploaded an archival photo of a couple eating fruit on stone steps in a garden. The user chose the fruit as the subject, set its stage as “in use,” and selected “calm” as the mood.

The device produced a fragrance with notes of spiced apple, pear, and earthy musk.

“The user said it transported them to autumn,” Clarke recalled — a reaction that aligned with the scent’s seasonal tones.

More Than Just Clichés

Clarke acknowledges that certain associations — like apples and autumn — are common. But he says this “shared vocabulary” helps the system find a starting point before becoming more nuanced.

The prototype includes a library of 50 base scents, including sandalwood, pine forest, old books, leather, and sand. Each scent is released in one-second bursts, allowing for thousands of possible combinations.

Two people, Clarke says, can turn the same beach photo into completely different atmospheres depending on their choices.

The images are courtesy of MIT.

Making Memories Tangible

Clarke has long explored ways to make memories physical. Before MIT, he founded a project called Grow Your Own Cloud, which investigated storing memories inside plant DNA.

He believes modern memories live too much in the digital world:

“They’re accessible, but they’re not truly with us, and I want to change that.”

What’s Next?

Clarke envisions two future versions of the Anemoia Device:

A desktop-sized home device that can “print” scented memories
An online service where users send in photos and receive custom fragrances

Despite the irony of using advanced technology to reconnect people with their senses, Clarke embraces the contradiction.

“I don’t think everything has to be an attention-stealing machine,” he said. “We should create technology that makes you pause, breathe, and notice the world again.”

Prison Officer Jailed After "Worst Case" Corrupt Relationship With Inmate

2026-02-02T19:30:00Z

Charlotte Winstanley, 27, had a "substantial sexual relationship" with prisoner Jabhari Blair [South Yorkshire Police]

An “infatuated” prison officer who carried out a secret sexual relationship with a convicted gang member — while smuggling contraband into the jail — has been sentenced to two and a half years behind bars.

Charlotte Winstanley, 27, was working at HMP Lindholme near Doncaster when she began a “substantial sexual relationship” with inmate Jabhari Blair, 30. The affair included explicit photos and videos, secret meetings inside the prison, and the illegal delivery of mobile phones, SIM cards, and other banned items.

The scandal was described by a judge as the worst case of its kind he had ever handled.

A Dangerous and Secret Affair

Sheffield Crown Court heard that Winstanley smuggled a mobile phone into the prison so she and Blair could communicate via WhatsApp and Snapchat. The pair exchanged dozens of intimate messages, including one in which Winstanley wrote:

“I love my job, but I love you more.”

Another message read:

“Life starts now, baby. Every sacrifice I make I do so I can be with you.”

Blair, who was jailed in 2014 for 12½ years due to his involvement in organized crime, reportedly told Winstanley he “couldn’t wait” to give her a baby.

The court was told the pair even referred to Mondays as their “date nights.” Prison CCTV captured them touching and then disappearing together into rooms while on duty.

Training Ignored, Rules Broken

Winstanley joined HMP Lindholme in October 2020 as an operational support officer and later became a prison officer. She had received full anti-corruption training — yet still pursued the relationship.

Judge Jeremy Richardson KC said:

“You knew it was wrong and against all the training you’d received — but you brazened it out and continued the corrupt affair.”

Despite suspicions from colleagues, Winstanley continued her relationship with Blair and even took screenshots of news articles detailing his serious crimes.

She went on to smuggle SIM cards into the prison and shared sensitive information with Blair, including:

Prisoner movement details
Healthcare information about other inmates
Advance warning of a cell search

A Security Risk Inside the Prison

The court heard Blair told Winstanley he had people inside the prison who would protect her, claiming someone was ready to “fight immediately if necessary.”

Winstanley also developed a close relationship with Blair’s mother, who the judge said was “clearly aware” of the nature of the affair.

Sentencing

Winstanley admitted to misconduct in public office and transmitting an indecent photograph from inside the prison. She was sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

Blair pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis and a prohibited mobile phone and USB stick. He received an additional 13-month sentence.

Judge Richardson concluded:

“It is utterly clear that you both knew that what you were doing was unlawful and corrupt.”

The case stands as a stark reminder of how personal relationships behind bars can quickly turn into serious security threats — with devastating consequences for everyone involved.

California Health Officials Warn of Deadly Mushroom Poisonings After 21 Reported Cases

2026-01-30T19:11:00Z

Foraging for wild mushrooms may seem like a harmless hobby, but California health officials say it can turn deadly.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has confirmed 21 cases of toxic mushroom poisoning in recent weeks, likely caused by the highly dangerous death cap mushroom. One adult has died, and several others have required intensive care.

“An outbreak of serious illness associated with eating foraged wild mushrooms has been reported,” CDPH said in a statement. “We are urging individuals to avoid foraging for and eating wild mushrooms while the risk of amatoxin poisoning is high.”

The cases were reported between mid-November and Dec. 5. While many incidents were clustered in Monterey County and the San Francisco Bay Area, state officials warn the danger exists across California. The California Poison Control System is now monitoring the situation.

Monterey County officials also issued a warning after local hospitals reported a spike in poisonings.

“Only people with extensive training and experience should eat wild mushrooms that they have picked themselves,” said Monterey County Health Officer Dr. Edward Moreno, noting that toxic and non-toxic mushrooms can look nearly identical.

Death Caps Linked to Severe Liver Damage

Health officials believe the outbreak is connected to Amanita phalloides, commonly known as the death cap mushroom. According to CDPH, several patients have suffered severe liver damage, including one case that may require a liver transplant.

“Death cap mushrooms contain potentially deadly toxins that can lead to liver failure,” said CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer Dr. Erica Pan. “Cooking, boiling, drying, or freezing does not make them safe.”

The Bay Area Mycological Society calls death caps “strikingly beautiful,” but also the number one cause of fatal mushroom poisonings worldwide. The species originated in Europe and first appeared in California in 1938. It is now found throughout the state and across the globe.

Scientists estimate death caps cause 10,000 illnesses and 100 deaths worldwide each year, according to NPR.

Other Dangerous Mushrooms

Other poisonous species commonly found in California include:

Amanita ocreata – known as the Death Angel
Amanita muscaria – known as the Fly Amanita

Because of the risk, CDPH advises the public not to forage for wild mushrooms at all during this season.

Symptoms Can Fade — Then Turn Fatal

Rainfall in fall and winter creates ideal conditions for toxic mushrooms to grow, especially near oak and hardwood trees, CDPH said.

Symptoms of poisoning often begin six to 24 hours after eating wild mushrooms and may include:

Watery diarrhea
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Dehydration

While these symptoms may disappear within a day, severe liver failure can develop 48 to 96 hours later, even if the person feels better.

Anyone who becomes sick after eating wild mushrooms should seek medical attention immediately. Health care providers are urged to contact the California Poison Control System at 1-800-222-1222 for treatment guidance.

The warning comes just months after Arizona health officials cautioned residents not to lick toxic toads following seasonal rains — another reminder that nature can carry serious risks when ignored.

Heinz Just Turned Ketchup Into a Keg - and It's Ready for Game Day

2026-01-28T19:30:00Z

Heinz Just Turned Ketchup Into a Keg — and It’s Ready for Game Day

Kegs are usually reserved for beer, but Heinz is shaking things up just in time for Super Bowl weekend. The iconic condiment brand has officially unveiled the Heinz KegChup — a full-on ketchup keg designed to keep the snacks flowing when the game is on.

Standing 19.5 inches tall and holding a massive 114 ounces of Heinz ketchup, the KegChup is built to replace the graveyard of empty bottles that usually pile up at football parties. Instead of shaking, squeezing, or running out mid-dip, fans can now tap, pour, and keep the party moving — just like at a bar.

Heinz says the idea was inspired by the beer industry’s long-standing solution to running dry. Why not treat ketchup the same way?

“On game day, fans unleash their unbridled passion for their teams, and their love for Heinz ketchup is no exception,” said Jamie Mack, associate director of brand communications for Heinz U.S. “That’s why we’re kicking it up a notch with the Heinz KegChup — the ultimate game day companion that gives people the freedom to dip responsibly, with our unmistakably rich sauce flowing all four quarters long.”

The brand first teased the concept on Instagram last fall, and the response was huge. The post racked up nearly 1 million views and thousands of comments, with fans calling the ketchup keg a “dream tailgate setup” and simply “iconic.”

If you want one for yourself, Heinz is giving fans a chance to win a KegChup through its website until Jan. 29. Miss the giveaway? You can still sign up at heinzkegchup.com for early access when the product officially goes on sale later this year — ahead of the 2026 football season.

Because let’s be honest: every party deserves a keg… even if it’s filled with ketchup.

LA's Air Taxi Future Is Taking Shape

2026-01-26T19:03:00Z

Flying Over the 405? LA’s Air Taxi Future Is Taking Shape

Traffic jams are so last year.
If Archer Aviation has its way, Angelenos could soon bypass the city’s infamous gridlock by commuting through the sky.

The electric air taxi company is positioning itself as a major transportation option ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, promising ultra-short flights across the city at prices comparable to an Uber Black. According to Archer CEO Adam Goldstein, what can take 90 minutes by car could be reduced to a five-minute flight.

“It’s a once-in-a-generation project,” Goldstein said, calling it one of the most exciting developments in modern aviation.

The Official Air Taxi of LA28

Momentum picked up in May when LA28 — the organizing committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games — named Archer Aviation the official air taxi provider for Team USA and the event itself. Since then, the company has secured deals with key venues and acquired Hawthorne Airport as its main hub. The location is strategic: just two miles from LAX and close to major Olympic sites like SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.

Photos shared with The California Post show the aircraft looking more like sleek, oversized drones than traditional airplanes. Designed to operate at helicopter-like altitudes of about 1,500 to 2,000 feet, the vehicles promise a very different experience from the chopper rides Angelenos are used to.

Quieter Than a Helicopter, Smaller Than a Jet

Unlike helicopters, which rely on a single large rotor and produce that familiar “wop wop” sound, Archer’s aircraft use multiple small propellers embedded within the rotor disc. The result is a soft whoosh rather than a roar — a key selling point for operating in dense urban airspace.

“These planes are closer in size to a car than a 787,” Goldstein said. A fully loaded aircraft weighs about 6,500 pounds — roughly the same as a Tesla Model X — while offering double the battery life.

Each aircraft costs around $2.5 million to manufacture, with full-scale production taking place at a large facility in Atlanta.

Booking a Flight Like You Book a Ride

Passengers will be able to book flights through the Archer app, much like ordering a ride-hail vehicle. Pricing, Goldstein said, should land in the same range as Uber Black.

For comparison, an Uber Black ride from LAX to the LA Memorial Coliseum — a key Olympic venue — currently costs just under $100. Archer aims to make its flights accessible not just to VIPs, but to everyday Angelenos looking to skip traffic on the 405.

Fast-Tracked by the Feds

The federal government has been accelerating Archer’s rollout through the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, which supports early trials of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft across the U.S. The goal: test safety, build public trust, and prepare for large-scale deployment.

Archer, along with several competitors, is expected to begin trial flights this summer in Huntington Beach and other pilot cities. If approvals move quickly, the first commercial rides could follow soon after.

Not Everyone Is on Board

Still, the path forward hasn’t been turbulence-free. Community groups and aviation critics have circulated a “Stop Flying Taxis in Southern California” petition for more than a year, raising concerns about noise, low-flying aircraft, and a lack of public input.

Goldstein compares the skepticism to early fears surrounding self-driving cars.

“You just have to show them,” he said, noting that one ride in Tesla’s Full Self-Driving mode convinced his once-skeptical parents. “It’s a show, don’t tell.”

Despite the pushback, Goldstein says he’s grateful the political and regulatory pieces have aligned.

“I’m just lucky the politics could work themselves out,” he said.

If Archer succeeds, the daily LA commute may never look the same — and the fastest route across town might just be straight up.

Winter Storm Could Trigger Mass Flight Cancellations This Weekend - What Travelers Should Know

2026-01-23T20:04:00Z

A massive winter storm is expected to cripple large portions of the U.S. this weekend, and airlines are already warning passengers to prepare for widespread delays and cancellations.

With more than 150 million people under winter storm watches or warnings, travelers are being urged to stay proactive — and not wait until their airline officially cancels their flight.

Here’s what you need to know if your travel plans are impacted.

What Happens If My Flight Is Canceled?

The big picture

If your flight is canceled, the airline will typically try to rebook you on another available flight. In some cases, airlines may even partner with competitors to find you a seat if they can’t accommodate you on their own planes.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, you are entitled to a refund if your flight is canceled or significantly delayed — regardless of the reason — but only if you choose not to travel. This applies if you decline travel credits, vouchers, or other compensation offered by the airline.

If you still want to travel, speed is everything.

As soon as you learn your flight is delayed or canceled:

Rebook online, through the airline’s app, or at a kiosk.
If phone lines are overwhelmed, try calling the airline’s international number (a tip from travel experts at The Points Guy).
If that fails, speak with a ticketing agent at the airport.

The faster you act, the more options you’ll have.

What the Experts Say

“I always advise people to go straight to the app if they need to make a change,” commercial pilot Kathleen Bangs told FOX Weather.

“The key is don’t wait. As soon as you can, try to change the flight or see what your options are. And if you decide you no longer want to travel, don’t just let it go — you need to jump on that and make the change.”

Airlines Offering Winter Storm Travel Waivers

Several major airlines are offering travel waivers, allowing passengers to rebook without penalties.

American Airlines

Travel dates: Jan. 23–25
Tickets must be purchased by: Jan. 19
Changes must be made by: Jan. 25
New travel must be completed by: Jan. 28

Delta Air Lines

Travel dates: Jan. 23–25
Rebooking deadline: Jan. 28
New travel must occur by: Jan. 28

United Airlines

Applies to Texas airports
Travel dates: Jan. 23–25
Tickets purchased by: Jan. 20
New flight must be by: Jan. 29

Spirit Airlines

Travel dates: Jan. 23–25
New flight must be by: Jan. 28

Southwest Airlines

Travel dates: Jan. 23–26
New flight must be within 14 days of original date

(Always check each airline’s website for the most current and airport-specific details.)

Will Airlines Pay for My Hotel or Food?

Short answer: No.

If your delay or cancellation is caused by weather — which is considered outside the airline’s control — airlines are not required to provide hotels, meals, or additional reimbursements.

That means travelers should be prepared to cover their own expenses if they’re stranded due to the storm.

Bottom Line

If you’re flying this weekend, don’t wait around. Monitor your flight, use the airline app, and be ready to rebook immediately. When it comes to storm travel, being proactive can save you hours — or even days — of frustration.

Netflix Is a Joke Festival 2026 Turns Los Angeles Into a Weeklong Comedy Capital

2026-01-21T18:40:00Z

Los Angeles is about to become the funniest city in the world. From May 4–10, Netflix is bringing back the Netflix Is a Joke Festival, turning the city into a massive comedy playground with more than 350 live events scheduled throughout the week.

Produced in partnership with Live Nation, the festival will feature an all-star lineup of stand-up performances, live podcast recordings, special reunions, and exclusive tapings at legendary venues including the Hollywood Bowl and Intuit Dome. Tickets officially go on sale Friday, January 23.

Star-Studded Lineup

The first wave of performers is already stacked with comedy royalty, including Bill Burr, Ali Wong, Kevin Hart, Nikki Glaser, Jerry Seinfeld, and Nate Bargatze — with many more names expected to be announced soon.

Must-See Highlights

Some of the biggest moments on the 2026 schedule include:

Night of Too Many Stars – Hosted by Jon Stewart, this beloved variety show returns as a benefit supporting NEXT for Autism.
Spanish-Language Milestone – Saturday Night Live’s Marcello Hernández teams up with global pop star Feid for the largest Spanish-language comedy show ever held at the Hollywood Bowl.
Flight of the Conchords Reunion – Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie reunite for their first performance together in a decade, hitting the stage at the Greek Theatre on May 9.
Netflix Special Tapings – Nate Bargatze will film his latest Netflix stand-up special during two headline shows at the Intuit Dome.

Why This Festival Matters

The Netflix Is a Joke Festival is one of the largest comedy events in the world, offering rare chances to see legendary comedians in unique, once-in-a-lifetime performances. But it’s not just about laughs — the 2026 festival also gives back. A portion of every ticket sold will support the LA County Parks Foundation, helping restore local parks damaged by recent Southern California wildfires, in addition to funding autism programs.

What’s Next

This lineup is only the beginning. Netflix calls this the “first wave,” with more performers, surprise guests, podcast tapings, and special screenings expected to be announced leading up to the festival.

How to Get Tickets

General ticket sales begin Friday, January 23 at 10 a.m. PT through the festival’s official website. Fans should also keep an eye out for artist and sponsor presales in the days prior.

Ozzy Osbourne Biopic Moves Forward as Son Jack Confirms Casting and Director Are Set - But Who Will Play Ozzy?

2026-01-16T18:40:00Z

The long-anticipated biopic about rock legend Ozzy Osbourne is officially gaining momentum, and according to his son, Jack Osbourne, the project has already reached a major milestone in development.

Jack, 40, shared an update on the film during a holiday episode of Influenced, the SiriusXM show hosted by musician Billy Morrison, in December 2025. After nearly six years in development, he confirmed the movie has entered its next critical phase. “We’re full steam ahead in the next phase of development,” Jack said. “It’s an acted movie that we’ve been developing with Sony Studios for about six years now.”

Although the actor set to portray Ozzy has not yet been revealed, Jack made it clear the team is thrilled with their choice. “We have our decided pick, and I can’t say anything yet, but it’s a phenomenal, phenomenal actor,” he shared. “We also have a director attached, and we’re currently doing a rewrite.”

Reports indicate the film will primarily focus on the love story between Ozzy and his wife, Sharon Osbourne. Rocketmanscreenwriter Lee Hall is attached to the project, which is being produced by Sony Pictures in partnership with Polygram Entertainment.

While fans are eagerly awaiting details, Jack said his father took a laid-back approach to the biopic. “Oh, he would [be excited],” Jack said when asked. “I’d give him updates, and he’d just go, ‘I don’t give a sh*t. Just tell me when it’s out so I can go see it.’”

Ozzy and Sharon, 73, previously discussed the film during an episode of their revived podcast in April 2024. “By the time they finish this film, I’ll be dead… I wanna be alive to f*cking see it,” Ozzy joked at the time, while Sharon added, “Movies take forever to make. Forever.”

Tragically, Ozzy Osbourne passed away before the film entered production. The Black Sabbath frontman died on July 22, 2025, at age 76. His death certificate later revealed he suffered a heart attack, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease listed as contributing conditions.

Just six months prior to his passing, Ozzy reunited with the original Black Sabbath lineup—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—for what would become his final performance. The historic show took place at the Back to the Beginningcharity concert in Birmingham, England, the band’s hometown, serving as a powerful full-circle moment and an iconic farewell for the Prince of Darkness.

Heinz Reinvents Fry Dipping With Mess-Free Ketchup Container

2026-01-15T23:48:00Z

If you’ve ever fumbled with a ketchup packet in your car—or watched fries slide into a pool of sauce on your lap—Heinz says it’s come up with a cleaner solution.

The iconic condiment brand has unveiled the Heinz Dipper, a new fry box with a built-in ketchup compartment that allows customers to dip fries directly into the container. The design eliminates the need for packets, cups, or squeezing ketchup onto individual fries, making on-the-go dipping far less messy.

The new packaging is now rolling out at participating restaurants and sports stadiums in six U.S. cities, as well as in 10 other countries, including Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Portugal, the Philippines, Thailand, China, and Kuwait.

According to Heinz, the idea was inspired by the universal frustration of eating fries with ketchup outside a restaurant. The company says 70% of people who eat fries with ketchup have spilled sauce while dipping on the go, and 80% have considered skipping condiments altogether because traditional packaging is too inconvenient.

Image Credit: Heinz.com

The Heinz Dipper combines fries and ketchup into a single container, featuring a built-in dipping well designed to keep the sauce in place—even while moving.

“As more eating occasions happen away from home through drive-thrus and on-the-go moments, the Heinz Dipper is a fun and relevant way to innovate and meet fans where they are,” said Nina Patel, vice president of the global Heinz brand at Kraft Heinz.

More than 20 restaurants and sports venues worldwide are participating in the launch, with fries being served in the new containers while supplies last. Fans can find participating locations and learn more at heinz.com/heinzdipper.

Here's How to Register for Tickets to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

2026-01-14T15:00:00Z

Image Credit: la28.org

The road to the 2028 Summer Olympics officially kicked off this week as registration opened for the first Olympic ticket draw — and excitement was high. Some fans logging on Wednesday morning encountered long virtual lines and technical hiccups, prompting LA28 organizers to urge patience while navigating the online waiting room.

If you’re hoping to score tickets to the Games, here’s what you need to know.

How the Olympic Ticket Draw Works

Fans around the world can register for the ticket draw now through March 18. Registration doesn’t guarantee tickets, but it does enter you into a random selection process that assigns time slots to purchase tickets online.

Those selected will receive a designated window during “Drop 1,” which runs from April 9 through April 19. Notifications will be sent by email between March 31 and April 7, letting registrants know whether they’ve been assigned a purchase time.

Tickets for both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies are expected to go on sale in April as well.

Ticket Prices and Presales

Single-event tickets will start at $28, with a variety of options available for individuals and groups.

A special local presale will run from April 2 to April 6 for select regions. Residents in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties will have early access, along with residents of Oklahoma, Canadian, and Cleveland counties in Oklahoma. (Softball and canoe slalom events will be held in Oklahoma City to avoid building new venues in Southern California.)

General ticket purchase windows officially begin April 9.

Who’s Handling Ticket Sales?

LA28’s official ticketing partners AXS and EVENTIM are managing the ticketing process. Fans interested in premium, ticket-inclusive hospitality packages can explore curated experiences offered by On Location, though registration through the LA28 ticketing website is still required.

A Global Stage — With a Local Heart

The 2028 Games will showcase elite athletes from around the world, including many with Southern California ties. For Paralympian Scout Bassett, Los Angeles represents more than just a host city.

“I found my people here. I found a place that I belong,” Bassett said. “There are very few cities where you’ll find people who share similar walks of life and journeys. That’s what makes this place so special — and the perfect place to host a diverse and exciting Paralympic Games.”

Tickets for the Paralympic Games are expected to go on sale in 2027.

When and Where

The 2028 Summer Olympics will take place from July 14 through July 30, with events spread across iconic Southern California venues including Dodger Stadium, Venice Beach, the Intuit Dome, and the Rose Bowl, among others.

A New League, A New Era: Women's Pro Flag Football Launches in SoCal

2026-01-13T19:38:00Z

Image Credit: socalwomensproflagfootballleague.com

Get ready, Southern California — women’s professional flag football is officially coming to the Southland.

The SoCal Women’s Pro Flag Football League (SCWPFFL) announced plans this week to launch its inaugural season later this year, with the goal of making Southern California a premier hub for elite women’s professional flag football.

The new league will feature franchises across all eight Southern California counties: Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, and Imperial. Games will be hosted at top high school and junior college football stadiums throughout the region, bringing professional-level competition directly into local communities.

The SCWPFFL’s first season will include a 14-game schedule running from June through mid-August, followed by playoffs shortly after. Each matchup will be played over four 15-minute quarters, mirroring the fast-paced, high-energy style that has helped fuel flag football’s rapid rise. A league draft is scheduled for March.

League founder Roy Englebrecht said the timing and location couldn’t be better.

“Southern California has always been a leader in sports innovation,” Englebrecht said in a statement. “This league is about creating opportunity and visibility, with players finally having a true professional home to continue their careers in flag football. It’s not just about the games — it’s about building a sustainable future for women’s football and inspiring the next generation of athletes.”

Englebrecht, a partner in the soon-to-be-public Combat Sports Entertainment, also revealed plans to hire a league commissioner later this month to oversee the league’s formation. He added that the SCWPFFL will offer ownership opportunities for investors interested in being part of the league from the ground up.

“I want people to experience the same thrill I had owning a team,” Englebrecht said, referencing his past ownership of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes alongside actor Mark Harmon and businessman Hank Stickney. The Quakes are a Single-A minor league baseball affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels and were previously known as the San Bernardino Spirit in the late 1980s.

More details about the league are expected early next month, including team names, specific venues, draft and tryout information, and corporate partnership opportunities.

The launch of the SCWPFFL comes as women’s flag football continues to explode in popularity nationwide. High school athletic associations across the country are officially sanctioning the sport, while the NFL has invested heavily in grassroots programs. The growth at the youth, high school, collegiate, and international levels is also perfectly timed with flag football’s Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“The talent level is extraordinary, the interest is real, and the timing is right,” Englebrecht said. “Our vision is to provide a professional platform for elite female flag football athletes across Southern California, showcasing their speed, skill, and strategy while helping shape the future of one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.”

Additional information about the SoCal Women’s Pro Flag Football League can be found on the league’s official website.

The announcement follows a similar move on the East Coast, where the New York Jets and the East Coast Athletic Conference recently teamed up to launch the nation’s largest collegiate women’s flag football league.

Mattel Unveils Its First Autistic Barbie, Expanding the Fashionistas Line's Commitment to Inclusion

2026-01-12T19:54:00Z

Mattel is expanding the Barbie universe once again — this time with the introduction of its first-ever autistic Barbie.

Debuting Monday, the new doll joins Mattel’s growing Barbie Fashionistas line, which is designed to celebrate diversity and inclusion. The collection already features Barbies with Down syndrome, a blind Barbie, dolls with vitiligo, hearing aids, prosthetic limbs, and a wide range of body types, skin tones, and hair textures.

According to Mattel, the autistic Barbie was developed over the course of more than 18 months in close collaboration with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), a nonprofit organization focused on advancing the rights and authentic representation of autistic people. The goal was to create a doll that thoughtfully reflects some of the ways autistic individuals experience and interact with the world.

That process came with unique challenges. Autism exists on a broad spectrum, with traits that vary widely and are often invisible. “Autism doesn’t look any one way,” said Noor Pervez, ASAN’s community engagement manager, who worked closely with Mattel throughout the design process. “But we can try to show some of the ways that autism expresses itself.”

Subtle design details were intentionally included. The doll’s eyes angle slightly to the side, representing how some autistic people may avoid direct eye contact. Articulated elbows and wrists acknowledge stimming behaviors such as hand flapping or repetitive movements, which some individuals use to regulate sensory input or express excitement.

Even the outfit required careful consideration. Designers debated between tight-fitting and loose clothing, as sensory sensitivities vary among autistic people. The final choice was an A-line dress with short sleeves and a flowy skirt to minimize fabric-to-skin contact. Flat shoes were selected to promote comfort, stability, and ease of movement.

Each doll also comes with thoughtful accessories, including a pink finger-clip fidget spinner, noise-canceling headphones, and a pink tablet inspired by communication devices used by some autistic people who are non-speaking or have limited speech.

The release also allowed Mattel to highlight an underrepresented segment of the autistic community. The doll’s facial features were inspired by employees in India, with mood boards reflecting women from diverse Indian backgrounds. Pervez emphasized the importance of inclusive representation across cultures within the autism community.

Mattel has steadily expanded its inclusive offerings in recent years. In 2023, the company launched its first Barbie with Down syndrome, followed by a Barbie representing someone with Type 1 diabetes last summer. The Fashionistas line also includes a Barbie and a Ken with prosthetic legs, a Barbie with hearing aids, and dolls representing tall, petite, and curvy body types.

“Barbie has always strived to reflect the world kids see and the possibilities they imagine,” said Jamie Cygielman, Mattel’s global head of dolls, in a statement. “We’re proud to introduce our first autistic Barbie as part of that ongoing work.”

The autistic Barbie will be available starting Monday at Mattel’s online shop and Target stores for a suggested retail price of $11.87. Walmart is expected to begin carrying the doll in March.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the estimated prevalence of autism among 8-year-old children in the U.S. is 1 in 31. CDC data also shows higher diagnosis rates among Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Pacific Islander children compared to white children, with autism being more than three times as prevalent among boys than girls.

With this latest release, Mattel continues its push toward more inclusive play — offering children dolls that better reflect the diversity of the real world.

Britney Spears may be stepping back into the spotlight - just not on American soil.

2026-01-09T19:10:00Z

Image Credit: @britneyspears instagram

The pop icon sent fans into a frenzy Thursday night after sharing a rare, reflective post on Instagram that hinted at a potential return to live performance. Alongside a throwback photo from the early 2000s showing Spears perched on a piano with a microphone in hand, she revealed a meaningful gift and an even bigger surprise.

“Sending this piano to my son this year!” Spears wrote in the caption. The singer shares two sons — Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19 — with ex-husband Kevin Federline, though she didn’t specify which one would be receiving the piano.

Notably different from her usual dance videos, Spears explained that those posts serve a deeper purpose. She shared that dancing helps her heal physically and emotionally, adding that while it can feel embarrassing at times, it played a crucial role in saving her life.

Then came the revelation fans weren’t expecting.

“I will never perform in the U.S. again because of extremely sensitive reasons,” Spears wrote. However, she didn’t rule out performing altogether. Instead, she hinted at intimate shows overseas — and with a very special collaborator.

“I hope to be sitting on a stool with a red rose in my hair, in a bun, performing with my son… in the UK and AUSTRALIA very soon,” she continued, calling him “a huge star” and expressing how humbled she feels to be in his presence.

The “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer last performed in the U.S. in 2017 during her Las Vegas residency. While details remain scarce, the possibility of Britney returning to the stage — especially alongside one of her sons — has fans around the world watching closely and hoping this next chapter becomes a reality.

FOO FIGHTERS BENEFIT FOR HOPE THE MISSION & LOS ANGELES MISSION

2026-01-08T20:00:00Z

Foo Fighters will play a special benefit concert on Wednesday, January 14 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, with proceeds benefiting organizations that Dave and Jordyn Grohl and the band have long supported, including Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission.

The only pre-sale opportunity for this show will be a Sunday, December 7 in-person-only advance ticket purchase / donation drive at the Forum. To participate in this pre-sale, please bring an item or items from the following list from Hope the Mission, who will be on site to collect them:

Socks and underwear (male, female, adults, children, ALL SIZES — NEW/PACKAGED ONLY)

Dried rice (bagged)

Donations & proceeds will support Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission in their efforts to provide food, clothing, and direct services to unhoused and food-insecure Angelenos. Monetary donations will support both organizations in their efforts to provide shelter and services to those experiencing homelessness.

"Dave, Jordyn, and Foo Fighters are a striking example of what's possible when we decide to show up and give back. This concert will be more than just a celebration, it's a statement that it will take all of us working together to end homelessness in our city so that no one is left suffering on our streets," said Rowan Vansleve, President of Hope the Mission. "We're incredibly grateful to partner with the band. Foo Fighters and their fans have a reputation of always stepping up to help when people need it, and this concert will be no different."

“The impact of this event goes far beyond one night of incredible music. Every ticket purchased and every donation will directly help feed and house our unhoused neighbors. We’re honored Foo Fighters are joining to bring real help and real hope to people across Los Angeles.” – Dennis Oleesky, CEO, Los Angeles Mission.

The benefit concert also falls on Dave Grohl’s birthday. He asks that fans give whatever they can — including donations, volunteering, raising awareness and more:

“What better way to spend my 57th birthday than making a bunch of noise with a bunch of friends for a good cause. This ain’t just a big ass rock show, it’s a big ass party with a heart. Turn up the volume, turn up the hope, but most of all….TURN UP. The best gift is TO GIVE. Can’t friggin wait x” - Dave

Spencer Pratt Launches Los Angeles Mayoral Run on Palisades Fire Anniversary

2026-01-08T02:00:00Z

Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is officially entering the political arena. Pratt, best known for his role on MTV’s The Hills, announced Wednesday that he is running for mayor of Los Angeles after losing his home in last year’s devastating Palisades Fire.

Since the wildfire, Pratt has emerged as a vocal critic of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, frequently calling out what he sees as failures in leadership and emergency preparedness. He formally launched his mayoral campaign during the “They Let Us Burn” event in Pacific Palisades, held on the one-year anniversary of the blaze.

The Palisades Fire ignited on January 7, 2025, after a smoldering New Year’s fire reignited amid powerful Santa Ana winds that reached speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. The fast-moving inferno tore through coastal canyons, burning more than 23,700 acres, killing 12 people, and destroying over 6,800 homes and buildings.

Pratt now joins a growing field of challengers in the Los Angeles mayoral race, including former LA Unified School District Superintendent Austin Beutner. Mayor Karen Bass has also announced she will seek re-election, setting the stage for a highly competitive and closely watched contest.

Americans Are Sitting on Hundreds of Dollars in Unused Gift Cards - Here's How to Cash In

2026-01-05T21:53:00Z

If your wallet or junk drawer is hiding a stack of unused gift cards, you’re far from alone. According to a Bankrate survey conducted ahead of last year’s holiday season, nearly two in five Americans have at least one unused gift card — and the value adds up quickly.

On average, people holding unused gift cards have about $244 in unspent balances, a noticeable jump from 2022 and 2023, when that number sat below $200. In other words, Americans are leaving more money on the table than ever before.

“Sometimes we’re our own worst enemy when it comes to gift cards,” said Ted Rossman, senior analyst at Bankrate. “We relegate them to the back of our wallet or stuff them in a junk drawer, never to be seen again.”

So why aren’t people using them? Some survey respondents said they misplaced their cards or simply never got around to spending them. But the most common reasons were far more practical: they didn’t like the store the card was for, or the retailer or restaurant felt inconvenient to visit.

Whatever the reason, many Americans are holding onto hundreds of dollars they don’t plan to use anytime soon. The good news? There are legitimate websites that allow you to trade unwanted gift cards for cash or for cards you’ll actually use.

One popular option is CardCash, where users can exchange gift cards for other brands or sell them for cash — though not at full value. For example, a $50 Walmart gift card might net around $40 to $45 in cash, or be swapped for a $40 Amazon card.

Another site, GiftCash, allows users to sell cards outright. Big-name retailers like Target, Walmart, and Home Depot typically fetch higher payouts than smaller stores or restaurant chains. A $50 Target card may be valued around $42, while a $50 Cheesecake Factory card might bring closer to $37.

There’s also Raise, which works more like an online marketplace. Sellers set their own prices, and the platform suggests competitive rates based on current demand. Payouts usually arrive within one to five days via direct deposit, PayPal, or even a paper check.

Before listing any card, consumers should read the fine print. Gift card exchange platforms take a percentage of each sale and may reject certain cards or transactions if balances don’t match or terms are violated.

Still, for anyone willing to accept slightly less than face value, selling unused gift cards can be a smart way to turn forgotten plastic into usable cash.

“Gift cards represent real money,” Rossman said. “It’s disappointing that the amount of unused value continues to grow.”

If you’ve got gift cards collecting dust, now might be the perfect time to put that money back to work.

'Thriftmas' Is Trending: Why More Shoppers Are Turning to Secondhand This Holiday Season

2025-12-09T19:17:00Z

With holiday budgets feeling tighter than ever, many Americans are turning to an unexpected hero this year: the thrift store. Social media is fueling the trend, too — hop on TikTok and you’ll find the hashtag #Thriftmas gaining serious momentum as shoppers show off their budget-friendly holiday hauls.

One viral creator, @jaeliz22_, shared her trip to a Salvation Army store in Meadville, Pennsylvania, where she set out with a $100 budget to shop for her four children and a family vacation. By the end, she had filled an entire cart with toys and stocking stuffers — spending just over $18 on most of it. She even noted that her local store is pricier than other locations, proving how far thrift shopping dollars can stretch.

The Rise of Secondhand Gifting

According to a November report from mobile marketplace OfferUp, secondhand shopping is no longer a last-resort strategy — it’s becoming mainstream. The data shows:

81% of Americans plan to use at least part of their holiday budget on secondhand items.
27% expect to spend up to half of their gift budgets on thrifted finds.

This shift isn’t limited to the holidays, either. OfferUp’s 2025 Recommerce Report found that 93% of Americans purchased secondhand items in the past year, and 70% say the stigma around thrifting has significantly faded.

Shoppers are also leaning on secondhand buys to dodge the usual holiday headaches: 89% said they prefer buying from local sellers to avoid shipping delays and extra fees. And Gen Z is leading the charge — 95% say they’re open to thrifting if it means snagging better deals.

Why Thrift Shopping Is Surging Right Now

The economic backdrop is playing a major role. OfferUp found that 93% of shoppers are worried about rising holiday expenses, and 70% are actively hunting for discounts. Recent WalletHub data shows U.S. consumers added $16 billion in credit card debt in Q3 of 2025. Meanwhile, Gallup reports a sharp drop in consumer confidence, with 68% of Americans saying the economy is getting worse.

Unsurprisingly, the CNBC | SurveyMonkey Small Business Saturday Survey found that:

40% of Americans plan to spend less this holiday season
Many are cutting back on gift spending
15% plan to regift or reuse items they already own

Even USA Today has named “Thriftmas” as one of the year’s most notable holiday shopping trends.

More Than Savings: The Feel-Good Factor

For many shoppers, the appeal of thrifting goes beyond budget relief. It’s also about sustainability and giving new life to pre-loved items.

“They’re getting a new life and they’re not ending up in a landfill,” thrift shopper Samantha Rose Brammer told USA Today after spending around $5. “Thriftmas is like repurposing items…and can save you a lot of money.”

Plus, thrifting often includes donating or selling unwanted items, helping shoppers offset costs while decluttering before the new year.

How to Join the Thriftmas Movement

Whether you're a seasoned thrifter or dipping your toes in for the first time, there are plenty of ways to embrace secondhand shopping this season:

Local Thrift Stores

Start with your neighborhood shops. Helpful directories include:

thethriftshopper.com
localthriftstores.com
salvationarmyusa.org/thrift-stores

Online Secondhand Platforms

If you prefer browsing from home, try:

Poshmark
Depop
eBay

Thriftmas isn’t just a trend — it’s becoming a smart, sustainable, and community-driven way to celebrate the holidays. And for many families, it’s the key to keeping the season merry without breaking the bank.

Subway Brings Back Its Iconic Sub Club Loyalty Program - With a Modern Twist

2025-12-04T18:37:00Z

Image credit: Subway Newsroom

Subway fans are getting an early holiday gift this year. The sandwich chain is officially bringing back its beloved Sub Club loyalty program — two decades after it was discontinued — and the revamped version promises more perks and faster rewards than ever before.

The new Sub Club has been redesigned with what Subway calls a “modern twist and unparalleled value.” The biggest highlight: members will now score every fourth footlong for free. According to Dave Skena, Subway’s chief marketing officer for North America, the goal was to rebuild the program so customers can “earn something of real value” without needing tons of visits.

Here’s how it works: Buy three footlong subs or six 6-inch sandwiches — or mix and match any combination — and you’ll unlock a free footlong. Members also earn points with every purchase, which can be exchanged for Subway Cashto use toward future orders.

Sub Club members will enjoy even more perks, including exclusive offers, special promotions, and even a free cookie on their birthday.

Signing up is easy. Guests can join through the Subway app, visit Subway.com, or stop by any Subway location. And if you’re already part of Subway’s MVP Rewards program, there’s nothing to do — you’ll be automatically switched over to the new Sub Club.

With its refreshed perks and quicker rewards, Subway’s revived Sub Club looks ready to make loyal sandwich lovers very happy this holiday season.

The Best Websites to Score Cyber Monday Deals - and How to Get the Most of Them

2025-12-01T14:00:00Z

The Best Websites to Score Cyber Monday Deals — and How to Get the Most of Them 🛍️

Cyber Monday is here — and so are some of the biggest online deals of the year. Whether you’re hunting for electronics, clothing, home goods, or gifts, a few websites consistently stand out as reliable, broad-spectrum hubs for serious savings. Below I break down the top players for 2025, why they’re worth visiting, and a few tips to make your Cyber Monday shopping smarter.

✅ Top Sites to Check Right Now

Amazon

One of the biggest and most comprehensive Cyber Monday sale destinations. Their deals cover a massive range of categories — from electronics to toys, home goods to beauty.

Expect deeply discounted tech (headphones, laptops, smart home devices), popular home appliances, toys, and everyday essentials.
Because Amazon has such a broad catalog, it’s a great place to start if you have a long, mixed shopping list.

Walmart

Walmart continues to offer aggressive Cyber Monday pricing — from electronics to household items and beyond.

Their sale covers “everything from Apple AirPods to Lego toys,” making it a good choice for both gifts and everyday bargains.
Walmart’s online presence means you can often find deals even on items that are sold out in stores.

Best Buy

If you’re after gadgets, computers, gaming consoles, TVs or smart-home gear, Best Buy is a top pick. Their “Cyber Week / Cyber Monday” sale consistently delivers strong discounts.

Great for tech-heavy shoppers — whether you want a new laptop, home appliances, or smart devices.

Target

Target’s Cyber Monday deals pack variety: from tech and gadgets to clothing, home décor, and everyday essentials.

Their site often includes free-shipping, store pick-up, and same-day delivery options — useful if you want fast, convenient shopping.

Macy's & Other Department-Store Style Retailers

For clothing, accessories, holiday gifts, home décor, and seasonal items — Macy’s and similar retailers are often overlooked but strong this time of year.

Especially handy when you want variety: fashion, beauty, holiday gifts, or home-related purchases all in one place.

Niche & Specialty Sites: Home Goods, Mattresses, Bedding, etc.

Beyond the retail giants, many more specialized stores are offering discounts this year: bedding, mattresses, furniture, home décor, kitchenware, and more.

Ideal if you’re looking for something specific — like a mattress, a high-quality duvet, kitchen appliances, or décor pieces — at a steep discount.

💡 Shopping Smart: How to Maximize Cyber Monday

Start with broad-range retailers — Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target tend to have many of the same categories as specialty stores. Starting broadly helps you compare prices.
Don’t ignore niche stores — If you’re shopping for home décor, bedding, or specialized gear (like kitchen appliances or mattresses), niche retailers might have better deals.
Act fast — Cyber Monday deals often come with limited stock, especially for popular items. If you see a deal you want, don’t wait too long.
Use deal-tracking tools or alerts — Many deals change rapidly; tools that monitor price drops or restocks can help you catch last-minute bargains.
Compare across sites — Sometimes a retailer like Walmart or Target will beat Amazon’s price, or a specialty store will undercut big-box pricing, especially for home goods or furniture.

🎯 Who Each Site Is Best For

If you want one-stop shopping for almost anything: Amazon or Walmart
If you’re hunting for tech, gaming, or electronics: Best Buy (and Amazon as backup)
If you want clothing, home décor, and convenience with fast delivery: Target or Macy’s
If you’re furnishing a home, upgrading bedding, or buying specialty items: Niche retailers and specialty-home goods sites

Restaurants Open on Thanksgiving: Where to Eat on Turkey Day if You're Skipping the Big Feast

2025-11-25T18:02:00Z

Whether you forgot to thaw the turkey or simply don’t feel like preparing a full Thanksgiving spread, you’ve got plenty of options for eating out on Turkey Day. A surprising number of restaurant chains will keep their doors open, offering everything from coffee to comfort food.

In general, restaurants that pride themselves on being “always open” are sticking to that promise for the holiday. Others, however, will close some—or all—of their locations. Because many chains include independently owned franchises, hours can vary from place to place.

Restaurant Chains Closed on Thanksgiving

Most locations for the following chains are expected to close for the holiday, though a few exceptions will remain open:

Cheesecake Factory — Select locations, including Arundel Mills (Hanover, MD) and The Forum Shops at Caesars (Las Vegas), will be open.
Chili’s
Chipotle
Culver’s
In-N-Out
Jersey Mike’s
KFC
LongHorn Steakhouse
Noodles & Company
Olive Garden
Outback Steakhouse
Raising Cane’s
Red Lobster — Times Square (NYC) will stay open.
Red Robin
Taco Bell
Texas Roadhouse

Restaurant Chains Open on Thanksgiving

If you’re hoping to grab a hot meal—or just a quick coffee—these chains have confirmed that most or all of their locations will be open on Thanksgiving Day:

Arby’s
Buca di Beppo
Burger King
Cracker Barrel
Denny’s
Domino’s
Dunkin’
IHOP
Jack in the Box
McDonald’s
Panera
Pizza Hut
Starbucks
Waffle House
Wendy’s

Before You Head Out…

Holiday hours can vary widely, even within the same chain. Before driving over, it’s a good idea to call ahead or check online to confirm whether your local restaurant is open and if they’re operating on reduced hours.

Local, independently owned eateries may also choose to close or maintain limited service on Thanksgiving, so plan accordingly.

And if all else fails, many convenience stores and gas stations stay open year-round—perfect for a quick snack or last-minute necessity.

A Self-Walking Olaf Is Coming to Disney Parks - Thanks to Cutting-Edge AI

2025-11-24T20:54:00Z

Disney fans are about to meet a whole new kind of magic: a fully self-walking Olaf. The lovable snowman from Frozen is set to debut at international Disney Parks, bringing an unprecedented level of realism and personality to character interactions.

The reveal came on Monday from Bruce Vaughn, president and chief creative officer of Walt Disney Imagineering, and Natacha Rafalski, president of Disneyland Paris. Guests will soon be able to spot Olaf roaming the World of Frozen areas at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and at Disney Adventure World in Disneyland Paris.

Image Credit: disneyparksblog.com

So how does Olaf walk on his own? Walt Disney Imagineering used reinforcement learning — a type of artificial intelligence that teaches robots to make decisions based on trial and error. IBM describes it as a process where “autonomous agents learn to make decisions by interacting with their environment.”

In the newest episode of We Call It Imagineering, Disney’s creative team explains how they used this technology to help robotic characters learn to walk, balance, and move more naturally.

This isn’t Disney’s first foray into autonomous robotics. Last year, the parks introduced BD-X droids at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. These little droids can dance, hop, bow, and even gently nudge guests like friendly pets. More recently, a self-balancing H.E.R.B.I.E. — inspired by The Fantastic Four: First Steps — made special limited-time appearances at Disneyland.

As for bringing Olaf to Disneyland in California or Walt Disney World in Florida, nothing official has been announced yet. However, Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro previously teased the possibility of bringing immersive lands based on Frozen, Black Panther, and Coco to life at the U.S. parks.

For now, international visitors will be the first to witness Olaf’s new AI-powered charm — but with Disney’s robotics innovations accelerating quickly, it may just be a matter of time before he waddles his way stateside.

Mötley Crüe Announces Massive 2026 Tour Celebrating 45 Years of Mayhem

2025-11-18T19:48:00Z

Mötley Crüe is gearing up for a huge return to the road, celebrating not one but two major milestones: the band’s 45th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of their legendary Carnival of Sins Tour. And they’re not going alone — rock favorites Tesla and Extreme will join them as special guests.

“Bringing back the spirit of Carnival of Sins has been a blast, and we wanted to take it even further for its 20th anniversary,” the band said in a joint statement. “This new show is for the Crüeheads who’ve been with us through it all and for the new Crüeheads who didn’t get to experience Carnival of Sins last time around. Get ready — we’re coming your way and we can’t wait to see you next summer.”

Fans can expect all the grit, chaos, humor, and full-throttle energy that made the original tour unforgettable. According to a media release, the 2026 edition won’t just be a concert — it will once again be a high-powered, theatrical production designed to push the limits of live performance.

The Return of the Carnival of Sins Tour will hit 33 cities across North America, kicking off July 17, 2026, at the Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania. The tour will roll into Southern California with a stop at the Long Beach Amphitheater on September 19, 2026.

GameStop Launches First-Ever "Trade Anything Day" on December 6

2025-11-17T19:23:00Z

GameStop is shaking up the holiday shopping season with a new promotion that lets customers trade in almost anythingfor store credit — and yes, that even includes scratched game discs, old electronics, toys and, surprisingly, taxidermy pieces.

The retailer’s first-ever “Trade Anything Day” will roll out nationwide on December 6, giving shoppers a unique chance to clear out clutter and score credit toward games, consoles, collectibles and more.

But before you load up your car with random attic finds, there are a few rules. GameStop won’t accept certain items, including hazardous materials, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, pharmaceuticals, live or dead animals, 3D printers, label printers, VCRs or DVD players. The quirky exception? Taxidermy is fair game.

GameStop employees will also have the authority to decline any item that doesn’t meet the company’s standards.

More details — including the full list of exclusions — are expected as the event approaches, but the announcement already has fans buzzing. With retailers gearing up for the holiday rush, GameStop is betting that a “trade almost anything” offer will bring curious shoppers through the door.

A list of exclusions so far can be found here.

Prince St. Pizza and Dana White Team Up for the ‘Greatest F*cking Pizza of All Time’

Two heavyweights are joining forces — one from the world of pizza, the other from the octagon. Prince St. Pizza, the iconic New York City pizzeria known for its Sicilian-style square pies and pepperoni-loaded slices, is partnering with UFC President and CEO Dana White to launch a limited-edition fight night pizza this November.

Timed perfectly with the blockbuster UFC 322 event at Madison Square Garden on November 15, headlined by UFC welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena and former lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, this collaboration celebrates the best of both worlds — food and fight night.

Meet the ‘Greatest F*cking Pizza of All Time’

Bold name. Bigger flavor. Aptly titled by Dana White himself, the ‘Greatest Fcking Pizza of All Time’* features slow-cooked short rib and sausage ragu, topped with fresh mozzarella and pecorino cheese. The decadent pie will be available at all Prince St. Pizza locations nationwide throughout November — priced at $45 per pie or $8 per slice.

Exclusive Merch and a Charitable Cause

The collaboration doesn’t stop at pizza. UFC and Prince St. Pizza have also released a limited-edition t-shirt celebrating the partnership, available now at princestreetpizza.com.

Fans can also make a difference while indulging — donations to the UFC Foundation can be made at checkout in all Prince St. Pizza locations. The UFC’s charitable arm supports community organizations and initiatives in cities where events are held.

UFC 322 Tickets Are Going Fast

Only a few tickets remain for UFC® 322: Della Maddalena vs. Makhachev at Madison Square Garden. Fans can grab their seats now at Ticketmaster.com while supplies last.

The End of the Penny: What Happens Now That the U.S. Is Phasing It Out

2025-11-13T19:32:00Z

The End of the Penny: What Happens Now That the U.S. Is Phasing It Out

Change is coming—literally.
After more than two centuries in circulation, the penny’s days are numbered.

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump ordered the Treasury Department to stop minting pennies, citing their costliness. His decision followed a 2025 recommendation from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—then headed by Elon Musk—which argued that the U.S. should stop making the coin altogether.

According to the U.S. Mint, producing 4.5 billion pennies in fiscal year 2023 cost over $179 million, with each penny costing 3.69 cents to make. Simply put, it costs far more to produce a penny than the coin is actually worth.

Stores Already Feeling the Shortage

Some stores have already run out of pennies, forcing them to round prices up or down to the nearest nickel. Even major chains like McDonald’s have been affected.

“Some businesses are asking cash-paying customers to voluntarily round up for donations to avoid needing pennies to make change,” explained Brandon Sheridan, an economics professor at Elon University. Others, he said, are rounding down across the board—a move that could become expensive over time.

The problem? Rounding laws vary by state, and some still prohibit rounding transactions to the nearest five cents. Retailers are calling for a federal law to clarify how businesses should handle cash payments without pennies.

Retailers and Tax Experts See Complications Ahead

Beyond small transactions, the penny’s demise could cause headaches for retailers’ point-of-sale systems, tax reporting, and compliance.
A recent PwC brief warned that without uniform federal or state rules, businesses operating in multiple states could face “increased audit risk” due to inconsistent rounding practices.

Can You Still Use Pennies?

Yes—for now.
Even though the U.S. Mint has stopped producing them, pennies remain legal tender, and there are around 250 billionstill in circulation, according to the American Banking Association.

However, their circulation is slowing fast. “Nearly two-thirds of Federal Reserve coin terminals are no longer taking or distributing pennies,” said Bill Maurer, dean of social sciences at UC Irvine. As those facilities phase out penny distribution, expect to see fewer and fewer of the copper coins in your change jar.

Over time, experts believe this will push even more businesses to go cashless, accelerating the shift to digital payments.

Is the Nickel Next?

Maybe—but not right away.
The U.S. Mint reports that each nickel costs more than 13 cents to produce, but the math for eliminating it isn’t as simple. Sheridan noted that rounding to the nearest nickel would cost consumers about $6 million, while rounding to the nearest dime would cost around $56 million. So, for now, nickels are safe.

A Long History of Penny Problems

The idea of ditching the penny isn’t new. Lawmakers have floated the idea for decades, from The Price Rounding Act of 1989 to the COINS Act of 2017, introduced by Senators John McCain and Mike Enzi. But until now, no effort has made it past Congress.

Pennies have been part of U.S. currency since 1792, originally featuring an image of Lady Liberty. In 1909, Abraham Lincoln became the first U.S. president to appear on a coin, marking 100 years since his birth.

Are Pennies Worth More Now?

Not really—unless you happen to find one of the ultra-rare 1943 copper Lincoln wheat pennies.
These coins, mistakenly struck in copper during World War II, can fetch anywhere from $100,000 to $250,000, according to rare coin experts.

While you probably won’t find one of those in your couch cushions, you might still have a little hidden treasure. The average U.S. household has between $60 and $90 in loose change sitting around, according to the Federal Reserve. Time to cash it in before the penny fades into history.

Final Thoughts

The end of the penny marks the start of a new era for American currency—one where digital payments, rounding policies, and efficiency take center stage.
So, the next time you fish out a penny, take a moment. It might be one of the last you’ll ever hold.

Dodgers Fans Show True Sportsmanship with Heartfelt Donations to Toronto's SickKids Hospital

2025-11-10T21:50:00Z

Dodgers fans may bleed blue, but this World Series proved they also have hearts of gold.

During the thrilling seven-game showdown between Los Angeles and Toronto, what started as friendly rivalry turned into an inspiring act of compassion. Fans from both sides joined together to support Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), raising more than $30,000 for pediatric care and research.

A Tribute to No. 51

Before the World Series began, Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia announced he would miss the series to be with family during a personal matter. In a show of solidarity, Toronto pitchers Chris Bassitt, Seranthony Dominguez, Mason Fluharty, and Louis Verland honored Vesia by wearing No. 51 — his number — on their caps throughout the series.

That simple gesture sparked something much bigger. Fans and baseball commentators across North America began donating $51 each to SickKids in Toronto, creating a wave of goodwill that spread well beyond the ballpark.

Making an Impact

SickKids confirmed that donations reached $30,000 by the end of the series.

“This will advance care, research, and education for patients and families. Thank you for hitting it out of the park!” the hospital shared on social media.

Days after the Dodgers secured their second consecutive championship, Vesia shared heartbreaking news — his family had suffered the loss of their baby girl. The fan-driven campaign became even more meaningful, symbolizing how a love for the game can unite people in empathy and kindness.

Paying It Forward

According to The Toronto Star, the idea began when 150 Blue Jays fans donated to the Seattle Children’s Hospital during the American League Championship Series. Dodgers fans on Reddit then decided to keep the momentum going — proving that even in the heat of competition, humanity wins.

What started as a rivalry ended in a reminder of what sports are really about: community, compassion, and connection.

FAA to Cut Air Traffic by 10% at 40 Major U.S. Airports Amid Government Shutdown

2025-11-06T18:00:00Z

Just weeks before the busy holiday travel rush, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced plans to reduce air traffic by 10% at 40 major U.S. airports. The move comes as the ongoing federal government shutdown continues to strain air traffic operations nationwide.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said during a Wednesday news conference that the agency had never taken such measures in his 35 years in the aviation industry.

“I’m not aware in my 35-year history in the aviation market where we’ve had a situation where we’re taking these kinds of measures,” Bedford said.

Air traffic controllers have been working without pay since the shutdown began on October 1, many putting in mandatory overtime six days a week. The long hours and lack of compensation have left little room for other income, putting added financial pressure on workers critical to keeping the nation’s skies safe.

Industry leaders say the impact is already being felt. Geoff Freeman, President and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, called the situation “unnecessary and damaging,” warning that it could erode public trust in air travel.

“The shutdown is forcing difficult operational decisions that disrupt travel and damage confidence in the U.S. air travel experience,” Freeman said in a statement.

Which Airports Are Affected

According to a list obtained by the Associated Press, the flight reductions will impact some of the country’s busiest airports, including Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Chicago O’Hare (ORD), Atlanta (ATL), New York’s JFK and LaGuardia (LGA), and Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW).

Here’s the full list of affected airports:

Anchorage International (AK)
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (GA)
Boston Logan International (MA)
Baltimore/Washington International (MD)
Charlotte Douglas International (NC)
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International (OH)
Dallas Love Field (TX)
Ronald Reagan Washington National (VA)
Denver International (CO)
Dallas/Fort Worth International (TX)
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County (MI)
Newark Liberty International (NJ)
Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International (FL)
Honolulu International (HI)
Houston Hobby (TX)
Washington Dulles International (VA)
George Bush Intercontinental (TX)
Indianapolis International (IN)
John F. Kennedy International (NY)
Harry Reid International (NV)
Los Angeles International (CA)
LaGuardia Airport (NY)
Orlando International (FL)
Chicago Midway International (IL)
Memphis International (TN)
Miami International (FL)
Minneapolis/St. Paul International (MN)
Oakland International (CA)
Ontario International (CA)
Chicago O’Hare International (IL)
Portland International (OR)
Philadelphia International (PA)
Phoenix Sky Harbor International (AZ)
San Diego International (CA)
Louisville International (KY)
Seattle-Tacoma International (WA)
San Francisco International (CA)
Salt Lake City International (UT)
Teterboro Airport (NJ)
Tampa International (FL)

What Travelers Should Know

The flight reductions are scheduled to begin Friday and could affect up to 1,800 daily flights. The FAA is urging travelers to check directly with their airlines for the latest updates on cancellations or schedule changes.

As the government shutdown continues with no clear end in sight, travelers are being advised to prepare for possible delays and disruptions — particularly as the nation heads into one of the busiest travel seasons of the year.

Hurricane Hunters Face Turbulent Skies While Tracking Hurricane Melissa

2025-10-29T17:09:00Z

The U.S. Air Force Reserve’s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron — famously known as the “Hurricane Hunters”— was forced to cut short a mission on Tuesday, October 28, after encountering extreme turbulence while flying into the eye of Hurricane Melissa.

Operating out of Curaçao, the crew of flight TEAL 75 ran into unusually powerful forces inside the storm, prompting them to return to base for safety inspections before resuming operations.

The mission was part of an ongoing effort to collect vital atmospheric data on Hurricane Melissa, which at the time had intensified into a Category 5 storm with sustained winds reaching 185 mph. The turbulence proved so severe that the aircraft exceeded its normal stress limits, requiring a thorough inspection to ensure it could safely continue future flights.

Meanwhile, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also faced challenges with its own hurricane research aircraft. On Monday, October 27, NOAA’s WP-3D Orion plane — nicknamed Kermit — experienced intense turbulence while recording 165 mph winds within the storm. The crew was forced to abort that mission as well, returning to Lakeland, Florida, for inspection and maintenance. The aircraft was cleared and back in the air later that day, according to The New York Times.

Hurricane Melissa has left a trail of destruction in its wake. The storm devastated Jamaica, toppling power lines, flooding communities, and causing widespread damage across the island. Now downgraded to a Category 3, Melissa continues to batter Cuba, bringing high winds and torrential rain as it moves northward through the Caribbean.

As both the Air Force and NOAA teams resume operations, their data will play a crucial role in forecasting Melissa’s next moves — and in improving the science behind hurricane tracking and safety.

Southern California Braces for First Santa Ana Winds of the Season

2025-10-27T17:41:00Z

Southern California is gearing up for its first Santa Ana wind event of the fall, bringing a surge of hot, dry, and windy conditions from Tuesday through Wednesday. The National Weather Service warns of elevated to brief critical fire danger, along with unseasonably warm temperatures and very low humidity across much of the region.

🔥 The Setup

A warming trend began Monday and will intensify through midweek as strong offshore winds develop. These Santa Ana winds will usher in dry air and push temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above normal, marking the start of a classic fall weather pattern for Southern California.

🌡️ Timeline

Monday:
Moderately dry and breezy conditions continue, especially across mountain and desert areas. Gusty northwest to north winds are expected, leading to elevated fire-weather risks.

Tuesday:
The first Santa Ana wind event of the season ramps up. Temperatures soar into the 80s and low 90s, with humidity dropping to as low as 5–10% in some inland areas. Wind gusts between 30 and 40 mph are likely across eastern Ventura and western Los Angeles counties, with isolated gusts up to 45 mph. Coastal areas could see their warmest day of the week.

Wednesday:
Winds weaken slightly but remain offshore. Another burst of Santa Anas is possible, though not as strong as Tuesday’s. Inland areas, particularly in Orange County, could see highs in the low to mid-90s — the warmest of the week.

Thursday through Saturday:
Warm, dry weather lingers. Offshore winds fade gradually, allowing for a bit of cooling as onshore breezes return late in the week. However, temperatures will stay well above seasonal averages.

⚠️ What to Expect

Highs: 80s to low 90s across Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, and Riverside counties — about 10–15° above normal.
Areas Affected: Coastal and valley communities including Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Long Beach, Torrance, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood.
Advisories: A Heat Advisory is in effect Tuesday and Wednesday for much of the region due to high temperatures and low humidity.
Fire Weather: Elevated to critical fire conditions expected in wind-prone areas.

💡 Looking Ahead

A ridge of high pressure will dominate through the weekend, keeping temperatures hot and humidity low. Slight cooling is expected by Thursday and Friday, but forecast models suggest another potential warm-up heading into the weekend.

☀️ Safety Tips

If you’re planning outdoor activities, including attending World Series watch events or Halloween festivities, prepare for hot, dry weather.

Stay hydrated and avoid prolonged time in direct sunlight.
Limit outdoor work during the hottest parts of the day.
Secure loose outdoor items that could blow away in gusty winds.
Be extra cautious with anything that could spark a fire.

Southern California’s fall heat is here — and it’s bringing fire weather along for the ride. Stay alert, stay cool, and stay fire-safe.

New drummer, new single: Foo Fighters 'take flight' with fresh energy.

2025-10-22T17:15:00Z

Heads up, rock-fans: the Foo Fighters are back. The band has announced a brand-new single titled “Asking For A Friend”which is set to drop tomorrow—October 23, 2025.

This feels like a big moment for the Foo Fighters—not just the release of another single, but a possible marker of a new chapter since the passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins.

With Ilan Rubin reportedly joining on drums, there may be changes in their sound or dynamic. Some outlets suggest the single signals the band moving forward with fresh energy.

Whether you’re a longtime fan who’s weathered the storms with them, or a casual listener tuning in now, “Asking For A Friend” may well be more than just a song — it might be an invitation.

The official announcement revealed the single title “Asking For A Friend” and its release time: 3 pm BST / 10 am EDT / 7 am PDT (so for us in California, expect it at 7 am tomorrow morning).

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, are stepping up to show their appreciation for fans — with an incredible giveaway just in time for the World Series.

The Freemans announced on Instagram that they’re giving away four tickets to a World Series game and a signed baseball as a thank-you for the outpouring of support this season.

“Our family is so thankful for all the love this season – and now we want you to experience the World Series magic too,” the couple shared in their post.

How to Enter

Dodgers fans can throw their hat in the ring by completing a few simple steps:

Follow @FreddieFreeman and @ChelseaFreeman on Instagram
Like the giveaway post
Tag three friends who would love to go to the game

Each tag counts as a separate entry — and there’s no limit to how many times you can enter. Fans who share the post to their Instagram Stories and tag the Freemans will score 10 extra entries.

This isn’t the first time the Freeman family has treated fans to the ballpark. Throughout the season, they’ve surprised followers with tickets to regular-season games, playoff matchups, and even the National League Championship Series.

Now, with the Dodgers chasing history and aiming to become baseball’s first repeat World Series champions in 25 years, the stakes — and the excitement — couldn’t be higher.

The Boys in Blue will take on either the Toronto Blue Jays or the Seattle Mariners when the World Series kicks off Friday.

Fans, grab your gloves — this might be your shot at a once-in-a-lifetime game day.

Traveling to Europe? Get Ready for Biometric Border Checks

2025-10-14T18:55:00Z

Image courtesy of MoneyControl on Youtube

If you’re planning a trip to Europe, expect a new step at border control: biometric screening. The European Union’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is now officially active across the Schengen Area — a zone that includes 29 countries with shared border policies and security standards.

What’s Changing

The EES is an automated border management system that tracks non-EU travelers entering and exiting the Schengen zone for short stays — up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The system records each crossing at airports, seaports, train stations, and land borders in countries including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, and others.

Instead of a passport stamp, travelers will now have their biometric data collected, including:

Fingerprints
A facial image
Personal and travel document information
Date and place of entry and exit

Why It Matters

The EU says the new digital process will replace manual passport stamping starting April 10, 2026, streamlining border checks and tightening security. The collected data will be stored for three years, and returning travelers will need to verify their identity using a fingerprint or facial scan both upon entry and exit.

The Bigger Picture

The European Union launched the EES to modernize border management and reduce overstays by non-EU visitors. Officials say the system will make travel safer, faster, and more efficient — while giving border agencies better tools to track entries and exits across Europe.

In short: the next time you fly into Paris, Rome, or Amsterdam, be ready for a quick face scan or fingerprint check instead of the usual passport stamp.

Major October Storm Set to Soak Southern California

2025-10-13T16:36:00Z

Southern California is bracing for an early-season storm expected to sweep through the region late Monday into Tuesday, bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, and even the possibility of thunderstorms. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued flash flood watches for areas near recent wildfire burn scars, warning of potential mud and debris flows.

The storm system, moving in from the Pacific Northwest, is already stirring up strong winds in Santa Barbara Countyas it tracks southward. By Tuesday morning, the system is expected to shift east, leaving behind a widespread soaking across the region.

According to the NWS, this “cold and dynamic system” will deliver **unseasonably low snow levels—around 6,000 feet—**and rainfall totals ranging from 0.75 to 3.5 inches, depending on location. The system also carries a risk of strong thunderstorms, which could produce heavy downpours, powerful wind gusts, and even hail.

Rainfall Breakdown:

Coastal and valley areas: 0.75 to 1.5 inches
Foothills and mountains: 1.5 to 3.5 inches

Weather models are calling this a “significant October storm,” possibly the strongest of its kind in a decade. Meteorologist Colin McCarthy from U.S. Storm Watch noted that the system could effectively mark the end of California’s fire season for much of the state.

In Los Angeles, temperatures are expected to dip, with overnight lows around 51°F and daytime highs near 70°Fthrough midweek. After the storm passes, dry and warmer conditions are forecast to return from Thursday through Saturday, giving residents a break from the early fall deluge.

Stay alert for flood advisories and road closures, especially near mountain passes and burn scar regions.

Magic Johnson Named Grand Marshal of 2026 Rose Parade: "It's Truly a Dream Come True"

2025-10-08T20:15:00Z

It’s showtime in Pasadena!

NBA icon and Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson has been named the grand marshal of the 2026 Tournament of Roses Parade, the organization announced Wednesday.

The 66-year-old Hall of Famer — often hailed as the greatest point guard of all time — is a fitting choice, especially with next year’s parade theme: “The Magic in Teamwork.”

A Full-Circle Moment for Magic

Johnson, who grew up in Lansing, Michigan, said the honor feels surreal.

“I’m still in disbelief,” he told the crowd. “As a kid, I used to wake up on New Year’s Day just to see who the grand marshal was and watch the parade. I never dreamed I’d one day be that person. I’m just blessed.”

He added that the honor means even more because of his deep ties to Los Angeles.

“I love this city, and this is just another incredible thing the city has given back to me,” he said.

From “Showtime” to Showpiece

Born Earvin Johnson, the basketball legend earned the nickname “Magic” in high school before joining the Los Angeles Lakers in 1979. He went on to lead the team’s famed Showtime era, capturing five NBA championships and three Finals MVP awards, forever cementing his place in sports history.

Now, decades later, he’ll be trading in the basketball court for a parade route — and he’s ready for it.

“I’ll be waving like crazy,” Johnson joked. “My kids and grandkids didn’t see me play, but now they’ll get to see me in that car. I think I’ll finally be kind of cool in their eyes.”

Parade Details

The 137th Rose Parade will take place on New Year’s Day 2026 in Pasadena, beginning at 8 a.m. PST. Fans can watch live coverage on KTLA and KTLA.com.

Johnson joins an impressive list of past grand marshals, including Billie Jean King, Jane Goodall, Vin Scully, Gary Sinise, John Wayne, and Frank Sinatra.

With Magic leading the parade, next year’s theme — “The Magic in Teamwork” — couldn’t be more perfect.

Early screenings will take place at select theaters across the U.S., with tickets going on sale in just three days exclusively at OzOnAmazon.

Dating for Dough: The States Most Likely to Marry for Money

2025-10-06T17:20:00Z

It turns out love isn’t always what’s driving couples to the altar — sometimes, it’s the bank account.

A new study reveals that Florida and Nevada lead the nation when it comes to residents most likely to marry for money, each earning a “gold-digger score” of 8.24 out of 10. Following closely behind are Texas (8.23), California (8.07), and New York (8.04).

“I literally would have named the same five states if I had compiled my own list,” said matchmaker and dating coach Blaine Anderson. “Florida and Nevada are stereotyped as having more transactional dating cultures, especially in Miami and Las Vegas. I’ve had clients in both cities meet people who say things like, ‘I’m looking for a man who will cover rent,’ on the first date.”

The data comes from the divorce-coaching app SplitUp, which analyzed each state’s number of millionaires and billionaires, average income, cost of living, and online dating trends. Searches for terms like “sugar daddy,” “sugar baby,” and “marry rich” also factored into the results.

On the other end of the spectrum, Maine, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, and Vermont were ranked as the least likely to host gold diggers.

Dating expert Emyli Lovz, cofounder of emlovz, says it’s no surprise that states like California and New York made the top five. “They combine high concentrations of wealth with lifestyle-driven dating cultures,” she explained. “Where luxury lifestyles are visible and accessible, the line between affection and ambition gets even blurrier.”

So, whether it’s sunshine, the Strip, or just a stack of dollar signs, in some states, it seems love and luxury go hand in hand.

Officer's Joke About "Narcotics-Smelling" Horse Panics Suspect, Leading to Chase

2025-10-01T17:15:00Z

A joke about a drug-sniffing horse appears to trigger a suspect who, instead of laughing the remark off, takes off running.

How will the government shutdown affect us here in Los Angeles?

2025-10-01T13:00:00Z

A U.S. federal government shutdown affects Los Angeles in several direct and indirect ways. Here's how:

🔴 Key Direct Impacts on Los Angeles

1. Federal Employees Furloughed or Unpaid

Who’s affected: Thousands of federal workers in L.A., including:
- TSA agents at LAX
- Air traffic controllers
- FBI, DEA, and other law enforcement
- Federal courts staff
- IRS workers
Effect: They may work without pay or be furloughed (temporarily laid off), which directly affects their households and spending.

2. LAX Operations

TSA and air traffic control staff are deemed essential, so they stay on duty — but without pay during a shutdown.
If prolonged, delays and security issues at the airport can increase.

3. National Parks and Museums

Sites like Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area or local federal landmarks may:
- Close completely
- Stay open but without rangers, bathrooms, or trash services
Tourism may decline, affecting local businesses.

💸 Economic Ripple Effects

4. Contractors & Gig Workers

Many federal contractors and service providers (e.g., janitors, cafeteria workers, IT consultants) aren't paid or reimbursed.
Often, these workers don’t receive back pay, unlike direct federal employees.

5. Housing and Food Assistance Delays

Programs like:
- Section 8 housing vouchers
- SNAP (food stamps)
- WIC (for women, infants, children)
May face funding delays or administrative slowdowns.
Los Angeles has a large population reliant on these programs.

🏛️ Government Services Slow Down

6. Federal Courts

The Central District of California (which covers L.A.) may scale back operations if funds run out.
Civil cases and immigration hearings may be delayed.

7. Small Business Loans & Permits

SBA loans, federal grants, and permits can be delayed — impacting:
- Startups
- Entertainment industry projects that need federal clearance (e.g., location filming on federal lands)

🏘️ Community Impact

8. Nonprofits and Aid Groups Strained

More Angelenos may turn to food banks, shelters, and nonprofit clinics.
These groups may get more demand while also losing federal grants or reimbursements.

🔄 Summary: What Happens in L.A. During a Federal Shutdown?

Area	Impact
Federal Workers	Unpaid/furloughed
LAX & TSA	Stretched staff, delays possible
National Parks	Closed or under-maintained
Benefits Programs	Possible delays in food/housing assistance
Courts	Slower processing, especially in civil/immigration
Local Economy	Reduced spending, tourism, and contract work

Hollywood's New Face Is AI - And Not Everyone's Applauding

2025-09-29T18:45:00Z

Meet Tilly Norwood, Hollywood’s newest "actress" — but don’t expect to run into her at a red carpet event. Why? Because she’s not real.

Tilly is an AI-generated character created by actor and comedian Eline Van der Velden, who is also the founder and CEO of Particle 6, an AI production company. Through her latest venture, Xicoia, a studio dedicated to AI talent, Van der Velden introduced Tilly Norwood to the world — and the response has been anything but quiet.

According to a report from Deadline, real-life Hollywood talent agents have already shown interest in representing the virtual actress. That news alone sparked a wave of concern from industry professionals, especially human actors who see AI as a growing threat to their livelihoods.

It’s a sensitive subject. AI was a major sticking point in the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, where actors and writers pushed hard for protections against being replaced by digital counterparts.

So, just how much of a threat is Tilly Norwood?

Dr. Emily Carmen, associate professor of Film and Media Studies at Chapman University, shared her take. While she doesn’t believe Tilly is coming for the A-listers’ roles anytime soon, she warned that the real concern lies with working actors — the ones doing commercials, background roles, and other non-star gigs.

“Maybe it’s easier to throw in a Tilly Norwood instead of actually, you know, paying union wages for a day's work,” Carmen said. “That’s where I think there is more to be concerned about.”

But AI characters aren’t exactly foolproof just yet. Kate Fortmueller, associate professor of Media Studies at Georgia State University, pointed out that Tilly still has that slightly off, uncanny valley vibe.

“The clips they released — the face, the way it moves — it’s just not quite there,” Fortmueller noted. “She’ll never age, never ask for a raise, but also never bring the depth and humanity that a real actor does.”

Van der Velden addressed the controversy in a social media post, describing Tilly as “not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work — a piece of art.” She expressed hope that AI creations like Tilly could one day be embraced “as part of the wider artistic family.”

Still, many in the industry aren’t convinced. As AI continues to evolve, the line between art and automation gets blurrier — and for Hollywood’s human performers, that’s more than just a philosophical debate. It’s their paycheck.

California Rolls Back Cannabis Tax Hike to Support Struggling Legal Market

2025-09-22T17:55:00Z

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed AB 564, a new bill aimed at giving the state’s legal cannabis industry a much-needed boost. The legislation halts a looming 25% tax increase and locks the cannabis excise tax at 15% through 2028, according to the Governor’s Press Office.

“We’re rolling back this cannabis tax hike so the legal market can continue to grow, consumers can access safe products, and our local communities see the benefits,” Newsom said in a statement.

A Lifeline for the Cannabis Industry

The move comes at a time when California’s licensed cannabis businesses are facing mounting challenges. Assemblymember Matt Haney (D–San Francisco), who authored the bill, said the industry has been in steep decline over the past five years—calling it “dying.” Without the rollback, he warned, the tax hike would have pushed many small cannabis businesses to the brink of closure, forcing more consumers toward the illegal market.

“California’s cannabis economy can bring enormous benefits to our state, but only if our legal industry is given a fair chance to compete against the untaxed and unregulated illegal market,” Haney explained.

Cracking Down on the Illegal Market

Alongside easing the tax burden, the state has also ramped up enforcement against unlicensed operators. Since 2022, the Unified Cannabis Enforcement Taskforce (UCETF) has seized and destroyed more than 317 tons—over 635,000 pounds—of illegal cannabis, according to the Governor’s Office.

What This Means Going Forward

By reducing taxes and tightening enforcement, the Newsom administration hopes to stabilize California’s cannabis market, ensure consumer safety, and keep tax revenue flowing into local communities. The decision reflects a broader push to balance industry growth with fair competition against illicit operations.

Where You Live Could Shape Your Happiness-Here's What the Data Says

2025-09-18T17:52:00Z

It turns out happiness isn’t just about your mindset—it might also have a lot to do with your zip code. Factors like a strong economy, access to community activities, and overall well-being can make a big difference in how fulfilled people feel.

To get a clearer picture, WalletHub just released its 2025 “Happiest States in America” report, ranking all 50 states across 30 different metrics tied to quality of life. These include emotional and physical well-being, work environment, and community/environmental factors. In short: where you live can play a big role in shaping your daily joy.

The Happiest States in America, Ranked

According to WalletHub, these are the states leading the way in happiness this year:

Hawaii
Maryland
Nebraska
New Jersey
Connecticut
Utah
California
New Hampshire
Massachusetts

Why They Stand Out

Hawaii tops the list with residents reporting the highest levels of life satisfaction nationwide (no surprise, given the sunshine and island lifestyle).
Maryland ranks high thanks to its low unemployment rate and a large share of households earning over $75,000 a year.
Nebraska makes the top three with strong economic security, low depression rates, and residents who overwhelmingly report good health.

The Bigger Picture

WalletHub’s findings echo a recent Gallup poll showing that only 44% of Americans say they’re “very satisfied” with their lives—a record low. Still, the survey also notes that more than 8 in 10 Americans are at least somewhat satisfied, with frequent churchgoers and higher-income adults being the most likely to report feeling deeply content.

Takeaway

While happiness is personal and multi-faceted, where you live really can influence your quality of life—from financial stability to social connections. If you’re looking for a happiness boost, it might just be time to see what these top-ranking states are doing right.

California EV Drivers About to Lose Carpool Lane Privileges

2025-09-15T20:11:00Z

California EV Drivers About to Lose Carpool Lane Privileges

If you drive an electric vehicle in California, one of your biggest perks is about to vanish. Starting October 1, 2025, Clean Air Vehicle decals will no longer grant solo drivers access to carpool lanes.

For the past 25 years, EV owners with the proper decal could cruise past traffic in the HOV lanes—even when driving alone. But that program is officially coming to an end.

The change stems from federal law. According to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), extending the program required federal approval under Section 166 of Title 23 of the U.S. Code. No such approval was granted, so California has no choice but to retire the decals.

CARB confirmed that the last day to order a decal was August 29, and the stickers will expire on September 30. That means about 500,000 vehicles currently enjoying the perk will lose it overnight.

After October 1, all vehicles—EVs included—must meet standard carpool lane rules. That means carrying the required number of passengers or paying tolls where applicable. The California Highway Patrol and local toll authorities will handle enforcement.

Drivers won’t be hit immediately, though. CHP has said that there’s a 60-day grace period after the program ends, meaning no citations for decal violations until the end of November.

California officials have expressed disappointment. CARB notes that extending HOV access for zero-emission vehicles was one of the recommendations in a recent report to Governor Gavin Newsom. But without federal approval, the program simply can’t continue.

Over its 25-year lifespan, more than 1.2 million decals were issued. And while the program helped accelerate EV adoption, CARB admits its environmental impact has shrunk as clean-air vehicles became far more common on California roads.

So if you’re used to zipping by rush-hour traffic with your decal, prepare to join the rest of us in the slow lane—or start recruiting some carpool buddies.

Stay Or Go Friday September 12th 2025: Mermaid Island

2025-09-12T16:00:00Z

Mermaid Island has been brewing chaos in the underground LA punk scene since the fall of 2022. Founded by Canadian vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Allie MacDonald, the band quickly became known for their high-octane performances. Mermaid Island's sound blends early 2000s pop-punk energy with heavy east-coast Canadian influences, melodic vocals, and folk-tinged chord progressions.

In October 2022, MacDonald met fellow Canadian multi-hyphenate Rowen Kahn and asked him to join before even hearing him play. Their first acoustic show at Hollywood's Hotel Café made it clear they had something undeniable. But recording could wait - "It was always about the shows. We have as much fun playing for no one in our lockout as we do for a crowd." says MacDonald. They solidified their live set list and their presence in the LA scene before ever setting foot in a studio.

They finally tracked most of their debut album live off the floor in two days, holding onto the same energy that keeps their shows magnetic. Mermaid Island isn't chasing a hit record - just creating a space where people feel inspired to pick up their own instruments. "We just want to play shows with our friends so we can remember what joy feels like on this shit show planet."

FREAKS (single)

Freaks is for the outsiders, for the misfits and for everyone who ever felt like they didn't belong. Fuck making ourselves and our dreams smaller in order to fit into some kind of mold that the world wants to put us in. Hopefully this song reminds you to trust yourself and your values, and live your own truth, regardless of what you think anyone else expects of you or wants from you. It's also just fun, and shouldn't be taken too seriously, because life is weird and complicated and sometimes you just want to yell about it.

Phillies Fan Confronted by "Phillies Karen" Over HR Ball

2025-09-08T18:16:00Z

Image from @cdntradegrljenn on X.

What should have been a picture-perfect ballpark memory for one young fan turned into a viral moment of drama — thanks to a woman the internet has already dubbed “Phillies Karen.”

Drew Feltwell, a lifelong Phillies fan who now lives in Florida, took his wife and two kids to see the Phillies play the Marlins in Miami on Friday night. In the fourth inning, Phillies center fielder Harrison Bader smashed a home run right into the section where Feltwell’s family was sitting.

Like any dad would, Feltwell scrambled for the ball, scooped it up, and placed it right into the glove of his 9-year-old son, Lincoln. “I was ecstatic — I got Bader’s home run ball and handed it to my son. It was a special moment,” Feltwell told NBC Philadelphia.

But before the family could celebrate, that’s when she showed up.

A woman in a Phillies jersey stormed over, yelling that the ball was hers. Video shared on social media shows her shouting in Feltwell’s ear, demanding the souvenir. After a tense exchange, Feltwell decided to hand it over — not because she was right, but because he didn’t want things to escalate in front of his kids.

“I had a fork in the road: either do something I’d regret or show my son how to deescalate a situation,” Feltwell explained. “So that’s where I went.”

Lincoln wasn’t thrilled about giving up the prized ball, admitting, “I wasn’t very happy that we had to give it to her. But we can’t win.”

Fortunately, the night had a happy ending. The Marlins gave Lincoln a goodie bag, and after the game, Bader himself met the family and gifted Lincoln a signed bat.

Meanwhile, the hunt for “Phillies Karen” has turned into a full-blown internet mystery. The woman was later caught on video flipping off an entire section of fans after being booed, and online sleuths have been trying — unsuccessfully — to figure out who she is. One innocent Red Sox fan even had to clear her name on Facebook after being misidentified.

The Hammonton, New Jersey school district also had to step in, issuing a tongue-in-cheek statement denying she was one of their employees:

“Anyone in our community would’ve caught the ball bare-handed in the first place, avoiding this entire situation!”

As for whether Feltwell expects to ever see the ball again or get an apology? He doesn’t. “That would still be hard for her to do,” he said.

At least Lincoln still walked away with a story he’ll never forget — and a bat signed by the guy who hit that home run.

The Tire Grappler Might Just Be the Hero We Need for Car Chases

2025-09-02T18:15:00Z

There’s something oddly satisfying about seeing a stolen car brought to a stop, not with screeching sirens or dangerous maneuvers, but with a high-tech grapple that locks up the tires.

Of course, the only person who isn’t smiling at this footage is the car’s actual owner — now dealing with shredded axles and spiking insurance premiums. That’s got to be one awkward phone call: “Good news, we found your car. Bad news… it’s basically toast.”

After watching countless chaotic police chases rip through Los Angeles, it’s hard not to think a tool like this could be a total game-changer. Safe, controlled, and oddly entertaining — the tire grappler might just be the future of stopping car thieves in their tracks.

Viral US Open Hat Snatching Sparks Outrage - Man Apologizes

2025-09-02T15:01:00Z

Viral US Open Hat Snatching Sparks Outrage — Man Apologizes

What was supposed to be a heartwarming moment at the US Open turned into viral controversy last week, after a man was caught on camera snatching a tennis cap meant for a young fan.

Image and Video Courtesy of @SpaceGhostX on X.com

The incident unfolded after Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak won his second-round match against Karen Khachanov. As is tradition, Majchrzak removed his cap and reached out to give it to a boy holding a giant tennis ball for autographs. But just as the child stretched out his hands, Piotr Szczerek — a Polish business executive — swooped in and grabbed the cap, passing it to a woman beside him. The boy’s disappointed reaction was clear, and the video quickly spread online, sparking widespread criticism.

The Apology

Facing backlash, Szczerek took to Facebook on Monday to issue a public apology. He claimed he thought Majchrzak was handing the hat to him, specifically to his sons who had been seeking autographs earlier.

“That mistaken belief made me reach out instinctively,” Szczerek wrote. “Today I know I did something that looked like deliberately taking a souvenir from a child. That was not my intention, but it does not change the fact that I hurt the boy and disappointed the fans.”

He confirmed that the cap has since been returned to the boy and that he personally apologized to the family. Calling it a “painful but necessary lesson in humility,” Szczerek promised to step up his efforts in supporting children and youth, adding: “I apologize to everyone I let down.”

Making It Right

To brighten the situation, Majchrzak later arranged a personal meeting with the young fan. He surprised him with a US Open gift bag, which included another cap, and posed for photos together. Sharing the moment on Instagram, Majchrzak joked with fans: “Do you recognize the cap?”

Meanwhile, fellow Polish star Iga Świątek weighed in when asked about the challenges of handing out souvenirs after matches. The six-time Grand Slam winner admitted it can be tough when multiple fans reach for the same item:
“Obviously usually, like, seven people reach out for one thing,” she explained. “I try to be fair… but not everybody is going to be happy.”

A Lesson in Sportsmanship

While the viral clip highlighted how quickly a feel-good moment can sour, it also showed the power of accountability and redemption. Szczerek’s misstep may have sparked outrage, but Majchrzak’s kind gesture — and the boy’s eventual smile — reminded fans what tennis is really about: joy, connection, and fair play.

A Michelin-Star Chef Just Made a Burger Out of Cat Food - And People Love It

2025-08-21T18:12:00Z

Image Credit: @katkin.club Instagram

Who knew cat food could be the secret ingredient to a gourmet burger?

Michelin-starred chef and animal lover Alice Ostan has teamed up with London-based cat food brand KatKin to create one of the strangest culinary experiments of the year: a cat food burger. And according to those who’ve tried it — it’s shockingly delicious.

Ostan shaped a blend of meats normally reserved for feline dining into a patty, coated it with crispy panko breadcrumbs, and topped it with a layer of cat food mix. To elevate the flavors, she added creamy ricotta, parmesan, lemon spread, and KatKin’s smoky bacon jam. The burger was then served on a warm ciabatta bun with lettuce, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber, and a drizzle of hot honey.

Those lucky enough to taste it were stunned. Many said they would never have guessed it was made from cat food in a blind taste test. One diner declared, “It tastes just like the meat I buy for myself.” Another called it “absolutely delicious.”

While there’s no word yet on whether this unusual creation will ever make it onto a restaurant menu, it’s not the only exclusive burger game in town. Manhattan’s dining scene is full of secret and limited-edition burgers.

The Crane Club in West Chelsea serves just 12 burgers a night, available only between 5:30 and 6 p.m. — no substitutions, no exceptions.
Caviar Russe, a posh Midtown seafood spot, occasionally surprises diners with an off-menu burger if the chef feels inspired.
Society Cafe inside the Walker Hotel in Greenwich Village makes only a handful of burgers each night, with Executive Chef Nicholas McCann calling it “a true labor of love.”

So, while the cat food burger might not hit the mainstream anytime soon, it proves one thing: when it comes to food innovation, chefs are willing to push boundaries — and sometimes, the results are unexpectedly mouthwatering.

Paramount Trolls Fans With a Morse Code 'Release' of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

2025-08-21T12:00:00Z

Paramount pulled off a classic Mission: Impossible-style stunt this week to celebrate the digital release of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning.

On Wednesday, the franchise’s official X account teased fans with what looked like the ultimate giveaway: “Full movie on YouTube now.” But of course, this was no ordinary drop.

Clicking the link didn’t deliver the blockbuster straight to your screen. Instead, viewers were met with what appeared to be an IMF spy radio broadcasting a long stream of beeps — Morse code. As it turns out, the entire script of the eighth Mission: Impossible film was cleverly transmitted through dots and dashes.

The YouTube video’s description kept the joke going:
“A secure livestream of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning full movie is running now. But the Entity has infiltrated every major streaming platform, so this livestream was compromised. The full script had to be transmitted in Morse Code to avoid detection. We need your help decoding it. Your mission begins now.”

Fans couldn’t comment on YouTube, but X lit up with reactions. One called it “peak trolling” while another simply wrote, “The entire script in Morse Code. Insane! Love it lol.” The gag also happened to land perfectly on National Radio Day.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, The Final Reckoning marks Tom Cruise’s last run as Ethan Hunt, with Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, and Simon Pegg co-starring. The film hit theaters in May and is now available on digital platforms, with a Paramount+ debut coming soon.

Robots Are Getting Weirder - and Now They Might Carry Babies

2025-08-19T19:13:00Z

We’re living in a wild moment in tech history. People are already marrying AI chatbots, and now, according to reports, robots could soon be capable of carrying pregnancies.

China is currently developing what’s being called a “pregnancy robot” — equipped with an artificial womb designed to grow a fetus for up to 10 months before “giving birth.” The concept comes from Dr. Zhang Qifeng, founder of Kaiwa Technology in Guangzhou, and if all goes to plan, the first prototype could be unveiled as early as next year.

The artificial womb would be connected to a nutrient-delivery system through the robot’s abdomen, essentially functioning like a surrogate. For families struggling with infertility, the service is expected to cost 100,000 yuan (around $14,000) — dramatically cheaper than traditional surrogacy in the U.S., which can run anywhere between $100,000 and $200,000.

Dr. Qifeng says the technology behind artificial wombs is already advanced, but the challenge lies in safely integrating it into humanoid robots. Still, many questions remain unanswered — including how fertilization and implantation will work, and how, exactly, a robot would give birth.

Of course, a development like this brings serious ethical and legal debates. Qifeng notes that discussions with local authorities and proposals for legislation are already underway in Guangdong Province.

And if that wasn’t futuristic enough, robots are also starting to blur the line between machine and human in everyday life. Earlier this month, a humanoid bot was spotted casually strolling around Fifth Avenue in New York City — eating hot dogs, trying on sneakers, and generally shocking passersby.

The stunt was actually a marketing move from KraneShares, promoting its new Global Humanoid and Embodied Intelligence Index ETF. The sight of a lifelike KOID-branded robot drew mixed reactions.

“It felt like watching the first lightbulb or the first car being unveiled,” said Joseph Dube, head of marketing at KraneShares. “People were amazed. Some were terrified. The reactions were all over the place.”

Whether you find it thrilling or unsettling, one thing is clear: the age of humanoid robots isn’t coming — it’s already here.

Birmingham Honors Ozzy Osbourne with an Unforgettable Farewell

2025-08-18T17:07:00Z

When Birmingham bid farewell to its own Prince of Darkness, the city made sure the moment would never be forgotten. Fans of Ozzy Osbourne lined the streets during a funeral procession that wound through his hometown, transforming the Black Sabbath bridge and bench into a sea of flowers, artwork, personal notes, band merchandise, and heartfelt tributes. Posters across the area read simply: “Ozzy forever. Birmingham will always love you.”

Now, the Central Birmingham Business Improvement District (BID) is stepping in to make sure those memories are preserved. The organization has carefully transported the thousands of items left behind to a secure location, where they’re being catalogued and stored. According to their website, every single offering — from handwritten letters to flowers, guitars, mini amplifiers, toy bats, candles, and Black Sabbath memorabilia — will be protected and eventually sent to the Osbourne family.

Image Credit: The Central Birmingham Business Improvement District

To ensure nothing is lost to time, a digital archive of the tributes is also being created. The BID has shared images showing the meticulous sorting process, where gifts have been grouped by type. Among the many touching messages, one note from a fan named Angie read: “Ozzy, your music has made my life so much better. You will always be missed.”Another tribute declared: “Thank you for bringing the world metal. You are a legend. Rest easy, Prince of Darkness.”

Even the flowers are being given special treatment. Bouquets from the memorial — including those laid by Sharon Osbourne and the couple’s children, wrapped in black ribbon and purple tissue — are being mulched into a unique “confetti compost.” At the request of the family, this compost will be used at Ozzy’s final resting place, ensuring that the love of his fans will remain with him forever.

Image Credit: The Central Birmingham Business Improvement District

Birmingham’s honorary lord mayor, Zafar Iqbal, called Osbourne “more than a music legend — he was a son of Birmingham.” In his statement, he explained the importance of giving Ozzy a farewell worthy of his legacy: “We know how much this moment will mean to his fans. We’re proud to host it here with his loving family in the place where it all began.”

Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22 at the age of 76 following a heart attack, leaves behind not just a musical legacy but a city that will forever call him its own.

Americans Are Drinking Less - and More Are Convinced Even

2025-08-14T17:25:00Z

Fewer Americans are pouring themselves a drink these days — and a growing number believe that even a glass or two can hurt your health. That’s according to a new Gallup poll released Wednesday, which found that just 54% of U.S. adults say they drink alcohol. That’s the lowest level Gallup has recorded in nearly 90 years of tracking.

Even more striking: 53% of adults now say moderate drinking is bad for your health — a huge jump from just 28% in 2015. And it’s not just teetotalers sounding the alarm; this skepticism is coming from all age groups, though young adults are leading the shift.

From “Good for the Heart” to “Not Worth the Risk”

For years, moderate drinking — think one or two drinks a day — was seen as harmless or even beneficial, thanks to early studies that suggested a link to heart health. But newer research has poked holes in that belief, pointing instead to alcohol’s role in a long list of negative outcomes, including cancer.

The scientific consensus has changed so much that some countries have recently tightened their alcohol guidelines, and earlier this year, then–U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy even suggested adding cancer-warning labels to bottles of beer, wine, and liquor.

Murthy cited sobering statistics: alcohol is linked to about 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 cancer deaths every year in the U.S., yet most Americans don’t know it’s a risk factor.

Younger Generations Are Changing the Culture

The Gallup data shows younger Americans have been quickest to embrace the new science. About two-thirds of adults aged 18–34 now say moderate drinking is harmful — up from 4 in 10 in 2015. Older Americans are still less likely to share that view, but their skepticism is growing fast too.

Part of the generational divide may simply be timing. “Older folks may be a little more hardened in terms of the whiplash that they get with recommendations,” Gallup’s Lydia Saad explained. Younger adults, meanwhile, grew up in a time when alcohol was already under heavier scrutiny.

Government Guidelines May Soon Change

The federal government is currently reviewing its dietary guidelines, including alcohol recommendations, and an update is expected later this year. Right now, the advice is clear: men should limit themselves to two drinks a day, and women to one.

But with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promising “big changes,” those limits could shift — though there’s no word yet on what exactly might change.

Drinking Rates Hit Decade Lows

While health concerns may not be the only factor, they’re certainly coinciding with a steady drop in alcohol use — especially among young adults and women. In fact, Gallup says today’s 54% drinking rate matches the lowest point in its records, dating back to 1958.

Interestingly, the decline doesn’t seem to be driven by a switch to other substances like marijuana, which is now legal in about half the states. Gallup notes that cannabis use has been fairly steady over the past four years, even as drinking has fallen.

And it’s not just about whether people drink — it’s how often. Only about one-quarter of drinkers said they’d had alcohol in the past 24 hours, the lowest rate Gallup has ever recorded. Four in ten said it had been more than a week since their last drink.

The Bottom Line

The culture around alcohol in America is changing — and fast. Younger generations are drinking less, health warnings are getting louder, and the old idea that “a drink a day is good for you” is quickly losing ground. With new federal guidelines on the horizon, the conversation about how much is “too much” might soon look very different.

Coast to Coast in Comfort: New Private Train Could Connect L.A. and New York by 2026

2025-08-12T17:54:00Z

Transcontinental Chief (Image courtesy of AmeriStarRail)

A bold new rail project could soon connect Los Angeles and New York in a way we haven’t seen before. AmeriStarRail has announced plans for The Transcontinental Chief — a privately funded, cross-country train service in partnership with Amtrak — with an eye on a 2026 debut.

The idea is simple but ambitious: move both people and big rigs across the country in under 72 hours. Truckers would be able to load their tractor-trailers onboard, kick back during their federally mandated 10-hour breaks, and let the train do the work. Think of it as a “rolling rest stop” that just happens to cross the entire U.S.

It’s not just for truckers, either. The service will also offer a transcontinental Auto Train option for travelers who want to bring along their cars, vans, motorcycles, RVs, or even charter buses. Stops would include Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and the Grand Canyon — making it part transportation, part sightseeing trip.

For those picturing bullet trains like California’s High-Speed Rail or Brightline West — pump the brakes. The Transcontinental Chief isn’t a high-speed electric train. It’ll run on diesel, topping out around 79–90 mph and using mostly existing freight rail lines.

AmeriStarRail COO Scott Spencer says this is a prime opportunity for Amtrak to team up with private partners and tackle the financial challenges of its long-distance routes.

If all goes to plan — and agreements are reached with major rail operators like BNSF, Norfolk Southern, and New Jersey Transit — the first trip could roll out on National Train Day, Sunday, May 10, 2026. That timing would coincide with two huge events: America’s 250th birthday and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

And that’s not all AmeriStarRail has on the horizon. The company is also working on upgrading Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor with a brand-new fleet of high-speed trains, offering coach, business, and first-class seating on every trip — aiming to make fast rail travel more accessible and affordable.

Could Your Pup Be the Next Air Bud? Auditions Are Open!

2025-08-11T15:00:00Z

Is your golden retriever secretly a basketball prodigy? You might be sitting on the next four-legged hoops legend. Robert Vince, the creator of the beloved Air Bud movies, has just announced that auditions are officially open for the franchise’s 15th film, Air Bud Returns.

“We introduced the world to an incredible retriever called Air Bud,” Vince said. “For the first time ever, we’re opening up the auditions for the next Air Bud.”

The franchise first stole hearts back in 1997 with Disney’s original Air Bud, which followed Josh, a middle schooler who discovers that his stray golden retriever, Buddy, can sink baskets like an NBA star. The movie spawned a string of sequels—some in theaters, most straight to video—and despite mixed box office numbers, the series has pulled in over $220 million. Clearly, audiences can’t get enough of the basketball-playing pup.

🏀 How to Audition Your Dog

While there’s no official rule that a dog can’t play basketball, there are a few guidelines for hopeful Buds:

Must be a purebred golden retriever
Should be athletic and ideally enjoy a little court time
Must know basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come”

Audition tapes should run 60–90 seconds and include your dog’s age, their skills, and any basketball tricks they can show off. Applications are open now, and details are available here.

🎬 What’s Air Bud Returns About?

The new film will follow a 12-year-old aspiring basketball star who, after losing his father, finds an original VHS copy of Air Bud in his childhood home. Just like in the first movie, a chance meeting with a golden retriever named Buddy sets off a quest for a championship—and a journey of healing that brings a team of misfits together.

Set to hit theaters next summer, Air Bud Returns will be the first big-screen entry in the series since 1998.

So, if your golden has some game, this could be their moment to shine under the bright lights—and maybe even win a championship… or at least a few treats.

Atlanta Airport Leaking And Pouring Brown Water

2025-08-07T16:10:00Z

Travellers at the busiest airport in the US were met with more than delays after foul-smelling brown water burst from the terminal’s ceiling, sending people scrambling for cover.

Passengers waiting to board their flights on Monday afternoon filmed as the water gushed from above, catching many by surprise.

The unpleasant incident prompted a wave of nose pinching as people realised the brown liquid appeared to be sewage.

Footage taken by Jamaal Carlos Jr. shows liquid erupting through a ceiling panel at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, splashing onto the terminal floor and prompting some passengers to cover their faces in disgust.

Get Ready to Chill with a New Ice Cream Flavor Inspired by Breast Milk

2025-08-06T19:30:00Z

PHOTO CREDIT: FRIDA.COM

Get your spoons ready—there’s a brand-new ice cream flavor on the scene, and it’s unlike anything you’ve probably tasted before.

Here’s the scoop:

Frida, the well-known parenting brand, has partnered with OddFellows Ice Cream Co. to launch a limited-edition flavor called "Breast Milk Ice Cream." While the name might raise a few eyebrows, don’t worry—it’s not actually made with breast milk.

So, what is in it?
The flavor is inspired by breast milk and is packed with nutrients commonly found in the real thing, including colostrum. According to Frida, the taste is “freshly expressed and oddly familiar”—a sweet, salty, and smooth blend with subtle notes of honey.

Where to find it:

You can order it online through the Frida website for nationwide shipping until August 10.
Or, if you’re in Brooklyn, you can try it in person at a special pop-up event hosted by Frida at OddFellows’ DUMBO location (44 Water Street) from August 5–10.

Why this flavor?
Frida says the ice cream went viral earlier this year, prompting them to bring it back and expand availability nationwide. The brand even playfully claims it’s “just like mom used to make.”

Whether you’re curious, nostalgic, or just craving something totally unique, this new flavor is definitely one for the summer bucket list.

23 Global Customs the U.S. Could Learn From - According to Expats and Travelers

2025-08-05T18:45:00Z

If you've ever traveled abroad, you may have noticed that life outside the U.S. often runs by a different set of rules — and sometimes, those differences make a lot more sense. From smarter infrastructure to saner work-life balance, people who've lived or traveled abroad are sharing things they wish America would adopt.

Here are some of the most insightful and surprising suggestions from expats and the Community:

1. Real Vacation Time (Looking at You, Germany)

In Germany, 25–30 paid vacation days is normal. Compare that to the U.S., where taking a full week off can feel like asking for a favor.

2. Budget-Friendly Air Travel

Europe’s low-cost airlines make hopping between countries dirt cheap. One traveler scored a flight from Barcelona to Dublin for just 3 euros.

3. Volksmarching in Germany

A wholesome tradition where groups walk scenic 10K routes with snack stops along the way. A fun and healthy way to explore the countryside and connect with others.

4. Asian Convenience Stores = Actual Convenience

In places like Japan and South Korea, convenience stores offer full gourmet meals, barista-made coffee, mail services, ticketing, and more. They redefine the word “convenient.”

5. Passeggiata: Italy’s Evening Ritual

Every evening, people take relaxed strolls through town to socialize, people-watch, and unwind — no destination, no rush. Just community and calm.

6. A Beer at Lunch? Not a Big Deal

In many European countries, enjoying a glass of wine or beer at lunch isn’t frowned upon — it’s just part of the meal, not a moral dilemma.

7. Department Store Food Halls in Japan

Forget food courts. In Japan, department stores offer a basement wonderland of gourmet options — bento, tempura, desserts — all beautifully presented.

8. Unified Adulthood Age

In the U.S., you're a legal adult at 18… unless you're drinking. Abroad, many countries set 18 as the age for all adult decisions — period.

9. Pregnancy Perks (Portugal Gets It)

Expecting mothers in Portugal get special parking, line-skipping privileges, and even separate customs lines. A little dignity goes a long way.

10. All-Inclusive Price Tags

What you see is what you pay. In Europe and Australia, sales tax is already included in the price — no mental math at the checkout required.

11. Clean Streets by Design

In Tokyo, cleanliness is a priority. Workers (often older adults) sweep sidewalks and pick up litter — creating jobs and pristine streets.

12. Affordable, Universal Health Care

In Costa Rica, even paying out of pocket for contacts cost one traveler far less than it would in the U.S. with insurance.

13. Work-Life Balance as a Right, Not a Perk

In Europe, taking time for life outside work isn’t a “benefit” — it’s standard practice, and companies are structured around it.

14. Public Transportation That Works

Outside the U.S., it’s normal to navigate cities without a car. In many American towns, it’s nearly impossible.

15. Dogs at Dinner

In France, well-behaved pets are welcome in most restaurants. It’s a more relaxed, inclusive attitude toward animal companions.

16. Malls with Grocery Stores

In many Latin American countries, malls include grocery stores. Logical, right? One stop for all your errands.

17. Rethink Tipping Culture

In Europe, tipping is optional and based on service quality — not an expectation to supplement underpaid wages.

18. Long, Leisurely Lunches

In Brazil, lunch is the biggest and most relaxed meal of the day. In the U.S.? Often eaten at a desk in 12 minutes flat.

19. Slower Isn’t Lazy

Many European countries embrace slower workdays and mid-day breaks — not as laziness, but as balance.

20. Open-Container Laws

In Germany, it’s normal to walk with an open beer in hand — and no one bats an eye.

21. Minor Conveniences That Add Up (Hello, Japan)

From semi-private toilet stalls and public transit that works, to vending machines with hot coffee and gourmet convenience store meals, Japan is packed with thoughtful features that make daily life smoother.

22. Parental Leave That Actually Supports Parents

European countries offer generous maternity and paternity leave — often months, not weeks — so families can actually bond and recover.

23. Bike-Friendly Cities

Amsterdam and Copenhagen show what’s possible when infrastructure prioritizes bikes over cars. It’s safer, healthier, and better for the planet.

Did a Doorbell Camera Capture an Alien in Compton?

2025-08-04T18:24:00Z

Image provided by ABC7 Twitter/X.

A mysterious figure caught on a Compton doorbell camera has sparked a wave of online theories — and even talk of aliens.

The eerie footage, recorded shortly after 1 a.m. on July 5, shows an unidentifiable shape moving past the front of a home. What makes it more unsettling? The figure appears to go unnoticed by the property’s motion-sensor cameras.

Jessica Ortiz, the homeowner who shared the footage with the YouTube channel The Hidden Underbelly 2.0, says she first noticed the movement when reviewing her security system.

“I asked my son to look at the video,” Ortiz said in the interview. “I brought him the phone and said, ‘Hey, double-check this for me. What am I seeing?’ He watched it three times and said, ‘Mom, it’s an alien. Call the cops.’”

Despite the scare, Ortiz never made that call. “It was scary,” she admitted. “But at that moment, I was like, ‘What do I even say? We’ll sound crazy calling the police to report an alien in the backyard.’”

Since the video was posted, internet sleuths have offered up all kinds of theories. Some believe the figure could simply be a person carrying plastic bags. Others think it might be a small child. And of course, some are convinced it’s something out of this world.

The truth behind the shadowy figure remains a mystery — but for now, the video continues to fuel speculation and debate across social media. Alien or not, it’s one creepy clip.

The 2025 edition of USA Today’s 10Best list has crowned The Habit Burger Grill as the home of the best fast food burger in America for the second year in a row.

Eyes on the Sky: SpaceX Plans Two Starlink Launches from Southern California This Week

2025-07-28T18:51:00Z

Southern California skywatchers are in for a treat as SpaceX gears up for not just one—but two—rocket launches this week from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County.

The first launch is set for Wednesday, July 30, with a window between 8:39 a.m. and 12:39 p.m. A Falcon 9 rocket will carry 19 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit as part of SpaceX’s ongoing mission to expand its global internet network.

This particular Falcon 9 booster will be making its 27th flight, continuing SpaceX's record-breaking streak of rocket reusability. After liftoff, the first-stage booster is expected to perform a controlled landing on a droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

Depending on weather and launch conditions, residents in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear a sonic boom as the rocket travels through the atmosphere.

But that’s not all—SpaceX has a second Starlink mission lined up for Saturday, August 2, with a launch window between 7:05 p.m. and 11:05 p.m. This nighttime launch could offer an even more dramatic show, with a bright trail of light visible across the evening sky.

So, whether you're an avid space fan or just happen to glance upward at the right moment, don’t miss your chance to witness history as it happens—twice in one week.

KLOS has partnered with The American Red Cross again for the 44th Annual Blood Drive on Friday, August 1st, and Saturday, August 2nd, at several locations throughout Southern California.

The blood products collected at this blood drive will help treat kids battling cancer, accident victims being rushed to emergency rooms, individuals experiencing extreme sickle cell disease pain, and patients with complicated childbirths. As a thank-you, all presenting donors will also receive a limited-edition, commemorative 2025 95.5 KLOS Blood Drive T-shirt while supplies last.

We need you, KLOS listeners! The Red Cross is experiencing a severe blood shortage as the number of trauma cases, organ transplants, and elective surgeries rise – and deplete the nation’s blood inventory. There is great hospital demand for blood as patients are scheduled for surgeries. Hospitals are also responding to an atypically high number of traumas and emergency room visits. KLOS listeners can help by donating blood to help ensure hospital patients receive the blood products they need. Blood is perishable and cannot be manufactured or stockpiled—it can only come from generous donors like KLOS listeners rolling up a sleeve to help. An hour of your time this summer can truly help save a life.

Wrestling Icon Hulk Hogan Passes Away at 71

2025-07-24T15:57:00Z

Wrestling Icon Hulk Hogan Passes Away at 71

The world of professional wrestling is mourning the loss of one of its greatest legends. Hulk Hogan, the larger-than-life WWE superstar who helped bring wrestling into mainstream family entertainment, has died at the age of 71, according to reports.

Emergency responders were dispatched to Hogan’s Clearwater, Florida home early Thursday morning following a reported cardiac arrest. Witnesses say multiple police vehicles and EMTs were present, and the wrestling icon was transported to the hospital on a stretcher.

Just weeks ago, Hogan’s wife, Sky, had dismissed online rumors that the WWE legend was in a coma, assuring fans that his heart was “strong” as he continued to recover from multiple surgeries.

A Career That Changed Wrestling Forever

Before Hogan’s rise, professional wrestling had a niche audience. His charisma, showmanship, and over-the-top persona captivated both kids and adults, turning wrestling into a cultural phenomenon.

In 1996, Hogan shocked the wrestling world by reinventing himself as a villain with the creation of the New World Order (NWO), becoming “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan. This transformation pushed wrestling to new heights of popularity and cemented Hogan’s place as one of the most influential figures in sports entertainment.

Accolades and Controversies

Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005, but was later removed in 2015 after a scandal involving racially charged remarks recorded during a private encounter. Following a legal battle with Gawker over the leaked footage, Hogan won a high-profile lawsuit. In 2020, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame once again—this time as part of the legendary NWO faction.

Hollywood and Reality TV Star

Hogan’s career extended far beyond the wrestling ring. He made his Hollywood debut as Thunderlips in the 1982 blockbuster Rocky III and went on to star in films like No Holds Barred, Suburban Commando, and Mr. Nanny. He also found success in reality television with VH1’s hit show Hogan Knows Best, which offered a glimpse into his life with wife Linda and children Nick and Brooke.

A Life of Resilience

Hogan endured dozens of surgeries due to the physical toll of wrestling, once joking in an interview that he had “no original body parts left.” Despite his health battles, he remained a towering figure in pop culture, beloved by generations of fans.

This is a developing story, and more details are expected to emerge.

RIP Hulk Hogan – a true legend of the ring.

Rock Legend Ozzy Osbourne Dies at 76, Surrounded by Family

The world of rock has lost one of its most iconic voices. Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath and heavy metal pioneer, has passed away at the age of 76.

In a heartfelt statement released by the Osbourne family, they shared, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.” The family also requested privacy as they grieve this monumental loss.

No cause of death has been publicly confirmed at this time.

Ozzy’s rise to fame began in Birmingham, England, where he co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968 alongside Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. Together, they redefined the genre of rock music and laid the foundation for heavy metal. With classic tracks like “War Pigs,” “Iron Man,” “Paranoid,” and “Children of the Grave,” Black Sabbath earned worldwide acclaim, multiple Grammy Awards, and a 2006 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Though Ozzy was dismissed from the band in 1979 due to struggles with addiction, he went on to launch a hugely successful solo career. His debut solo album, “Blizzard of Ozz,” became a massive hit, featuring unforgettable songs like “Crazy Train” and “Mr. Crowley.” Over the years, he released 13 solo albums, eight of which went platinum in the U.S., and earned five more Grammy Awards.

Much of Ozzy’s solo success was guided by Sharon Osbourne, who became his manager after meeting him through her father, a music industry executive. Sharon played a crucial role in helping him rebuild his life and career after his split from Black Sabbath. The two married in 1982 and weathered many ups and downs throughout their decades-long relationship.

In the early 2000s, Ozzy became a reality TV icon thanks to “The Osbournes,” the hit MTV show that gave fans a chaotic and entertaining glimpse into the life of the unconventional rock family. The series helped introduce Ozzy’s children—Kelly, Jack, and Aimee—to the public, many of whom have since gone on to become media personalities themselves.

Ozzy is survived by his wife Sharon, his children, and a growing number of grandchildren.

He leaves behind a legacy of groundbreaking music, raw honesty, and larger-than-life charisma that changed the face of rock forever.

Rest in peace, Prince of Darkness.

Pee-wee Herman's Famous Red Bike Is Headed to the Alamo

Pee-wee Herman’s legendary red bike from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure has officially found a new home — and yes, it’s headed to the Alamo.

In a nostalgic twist fit for the film’s upcoming 40th anniversary, the Alamo announced via Instagram that it has acquired the original stunt bike featured in the 1985 cult classic. The bike will become a permanent part of the new Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, set to open in fall 2027.

“In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure this summer, the Alamo has officially acquired the original screen-used stunt bike from the film,” the announcement read.

While the museum won’t open its doors for another two years, fans won’t have to wait quite that long to get a glimpse of Pee-wee’s beloved ride. The bike will make a temporary appearance at the Ralston Family Collection Center for a limited-time exhibit.

To top it off, a free public screening of the film will take place in the newly reopened Plaza de Valero. And where will the iconic bike stay in the meantime? The Alamo joked, “Maybe in the basement!”

In the movie, Pee-wee (played by the late Paul Reubens) embarks on a wild quest across the country to recover his stolen bicycle — which, at one point, he believes is hidden in the Alamo’s basement. Art meets life, it seems. Earlier this year, People reported that the bike had been sold at auction to a private collector for $125,000 before making its way to its final (and fitting) home in Texas.

Fans of the quirky comedy can now rest easy — the bike is safe and sound, and it’s coming to a place Pee-wee always believed it belonged.

Shohei Ohtani Steps Up to the Plate as a Children's Book Author

2025-07-17T23:40:00Z

Shohei Ohtani isn't just dominating Major League Baseball as both a powerhouse hitter and elite pitcher — now he’s adding author to his growing list of accomplishments.

The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar just announced the upcoming release of his very first children’s book, Decoy Saves Opening Day, available for pre-order now and set to hit shelves on February 3, 2026.

Inspired by his real-life dog, Decoy, the book follows the furry hero on baseball’s opening day. The big moment? Decoy is set to throw the first pitch — until he realizes he left his lucky baseball at home. What follows is a fast-paced, heartwarming race against the clock: Can Decoy retrieve the ball and make it back in time to save the day?

Ohtani co-wrote the book with author Michael Banks, and it features vibrant illustrations by Fanny Liem. While the plot may sound whimsical, it’s rooted in a real-life moment — Decoy actually “threw” out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium last season.

But this book isn’t just a fun story. Ohtani, a passionate advocate for animal adoption and rescue, hopes the project will shine a light on organizations that help dogs find loving homes. According to the book’s website, “While their fictional counterparts are saving opening day, Shohei and Decoy are working to help real-life animals in need.”

Decoy Saves Opening Day promises to be a must-have for young readers, dog lovers, and baseball fans alike — and a home run for a great cause. Pre-Order The Book Here

Walt Disney Comes to Life in Groundbreaking New Disneyland Show

2025-07-16T02:10:00Z

Disneyland is celebrating its 70th anniversary in a spectacular way—by bringing Walt Disney himself back to the park in the form of the most advanced Audio-Animatronic ever created.

Debuting July 17, “Walt Disney – A Magical Life” is a brand-new attraction located inside the Main Street Opera House at Disneyland Park. The show begins with a cinematic look at Walt’s extraordinary life, followed by a remarkable encounter with a lifelike animatronic of Walt in his recreated 1960s office.

The figure portrays Walt around 1963, a time many consider the height of his visionary career. Every detail—from his clothing to his mannerisms—has been meticulously researched to ensure historical accuracy. Disney Imagineers say this is a breakthrough in human Audio-Animatronics, offering the most fluid and realistic motion they’ve ever achieved.

But this isn’t just a visual marvel—it’s powered by Walt’s own voice. Using archival footage and painstakingly restored audio clips, the show lets guests hear Walt share his story in his own words. The goal? To make you feel like you're sitting in his office, listening to him dream out loud.

“We wanted to create that wish-fulfillment moment,” said Jeff Shaver-Moskowitz, Executive Producer at Walt Disney Imagineering. “Very few people alive today actually met Walt. Now, anyone can have that experience.”

Senior Creative Executive Tom Fitzgerald explained the emotional weight behind the project: “We’ve created many animatronics over the years, but bringing Walt to life was both a great honor and an incredible challenge. We focused on his subtle gestures, the twinkle in his eye, and how he used his hands to punctuate ideas.”

This project has been seven years in the making, first teased at the D23 fan convention by Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro. According to D’Amaro, the dream of a Walt figure had existed for decades—waiting for technology to catch up to the Imagineers’ vision.

The Main Street Opera House itself has been renovated for the occasion. A new rotating stage now allows the venue to alternate between “Walt Disney – A Magical Life” and the classic “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln”, which will return at a future date. The lobby and pre-show areas have also been refreshed to reflect the dual programming, with a new marquee announcing both productions.

In the spirit of Walt’s own words—“We keep moving forward”—this new show honors the past while embracing the future. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering Walt Disney’s story for the first time, “A Magical Life” promises an inspiring and unforgettable experience.

After all, in a park built on dreams, who better to welcome you than the dreamer himself?

CHP Cracks Down on Dangerous Driving Over July 4th Weekend

2025-07-03T17:22:00Z

CHP Cracks Down on Dangerous Driving Over July 4th Weekend

As Californians gear up for Independence Day celebrations, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is stepping up patrols across the state in an effort to keep roads safe during one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.

CHP’s Mission: Save Lives

The CHP's Independence Day Holiday Enforcement Period kicks off Thursday, July 3 at 6:01 p.m. and continues through Sunday, July 6 at 11:59 p.m. Officers will be out in full force, targeting dangerous driving behaviors—particularly speeding, distracted driving, and DUI.

“The goal is simple: to save lives,” the CHP said in a statement.

A recent 24-hour enforcement effort earlier this summer showed just how serious the issue is:

Over 12,100 drivers were cited for excessive speed
860 for distracted driving
Nearly 500 for seat belt violations
Nearly 400 DUI arrests
Sadly, 11 people died in crashes during that single-day operation

What Drivers Need to Know

Whether you're heading to a backyard BBQ, fireworks show, or family road trip, the CHP urges drivers to:

Slow down
Buckle up
Stay sober
Stay alert behind the wheel

If you witness a dangerous situation on the road, call 911.

Why It Matters

“Reckless driving and speeding have deadly consequences,” said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee.
“Every driver has a responsibility to make safe choices behind the wheel.”

This year’s travel is expected to break records. According to AAA:

4.3 million Southern Californians are expected to hit the road
Nationwide, 61.6 million Americans will travel by car—up 2% from last year

Pro Tip: Travel Early

Traffic experts from INRIX say Sunday, July 6 will likely be the most congested day of the weekend. To avoid traffic jams, plan to hit the road in the early morning hours.

Stay safe, stay smart, and enjoy a happy and healthy Independence Day weekend!

Could Napping Too Much Be a Health Risk? New Study Says Maybe

2025-07-02T02:16:00Z

A new study has found that frequent, long, and irregular naps—especially in the early afternoon—may be linked to a higher risk of death in older adults.

Presented at the SLEEP 2025 conference, the study followed over 86,000 people (average age: 63) for eight years. Participants who took longer naps between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. were more likely to die during the study period. Researchers adjusted for factors like age, weight, smoking, and nighttime sleep.

Lead author Chenlu Gao of Massachusetts General Hospital emphasized that the study shows patterns of napping—not just whether someone naps—could signal future health issues. However, he stressed the findings show association, not causation.

Sleep experts note that excessive napping might reflect poor nighttime sleep or underlying health conditions like heart disease or diabetes. And since the study measured movement rather than brain activity, quiet rest might’ve been mistaken for sleep.

The takeaway? A short nap isn’t bad—but relying on long, daily naps could signal something more serious. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends keeping naps to 20–30 minutes in the early afternoon.

As always, if you're feeling unusually tired during the day, it's worth talking to a healthcare provider. Your nap habits might be telling you more than you think.

Yes, You Can Actually Get Paid to Poop - Here's How

2025-06-27T19:05:00Z

Yes, You Can Actually Get Paid to Poop — Here's How

Looking for a side hustle that's... unconventional? Believe it or not, your poop could be your next paycheck. Some medical organizations are willing to pay top dollar for healthy stool samples, which are used in everything from microbiome research to treating serious gut infections like Clostridium difficile (C. diff).

So if you're healthy and regular, you might literally be flushing money down the toilet. Here’s how to turn your bathroom breaks into a side income — and maybe even help save lives in the process.

💰 How Much Can You Make Selling Your Poop?

Depending on the organization, stool donors can earn anything from a few bucks per visit to six figures annually:

HumanMicrobes pays $500 per donation. Yes, you read that right. Daily donors could make up to $180,000 per year.
GoodNature offers $25–$75 per visit, with the potential to earn up to $1,500/month. Bonus: They offer incentives for consistent donations.

Just like any other gig, be sure to confirm payment terms before getting started.

🏥 Where Can You Sell Your Poop?

Not everyone is eligible to join the stool donor club. Companies have strict health criteria — and sometimes geographic restrictions.

GoodNature

Locations: Irving, CA & Tempe, AZ
Requirements: 18–50 years old, healthy weight, non-smoker, no GI diseases or substance abuse
Frequency: 3–6 donations/week
Perks: Same-day pay via reloadable card; potential bonuses for frequent donors
Remote Option: If you live outside their cities, you might still qualify for their Research & Development program and mail in your samples.

HumanMicrobes

Location: Nationwide (as long as dry ice is available locally)
Requirements: Excellent physical & mental health, ideally under 30, specific stool type, limited antibiotic use
Pay: $500 per donation, with potential add-ons for special preparation
Shipping: Costs covered by HumanMicrobes or recipient

📝 How to Start Selling Your Poop

Ready to cash in on your colon? Here's how the process typically works:

1. Apply Online

Start by filling out an application form. Expect detailed questions about your lifestyle, diet, medical history, and bathroom habits.

2. Health Screenings

If your application is approved, you’ll need to complete health evaluations. For instance, GoodNature requires:

Three initial test donations
Weekly nasal swabs
Monthly lab work and check-ups

3. Start Donating

Once cleared, you’ll either donate in person (GoodNature) or collect and ship your samples from home (HumanMicrobes). It takes about 20 minutes per donation.

🦠 Why Would Anyone Pay for This?

It might sound strange, but healthy stool samples are in high demand. They're critical in developing treatments for gut-related illnesses and restoring healthy microbiomes in patients suffering from C. diff and other conditions.

Your poop might just be life-saving.

🚽 Too Weird? Other Odd Ways to Make Money

Still not sold on the idea of turning your toilet into a side hustle? No judgment. There are plenty of other unconventional ways to make money — from renting out your driveway to getting paid for your opinions.

But if you’re healthy, open-minded, and okay talking about #2, selling your poop might be the most surprisingly lucrative gig you never considered.

Pro tip: Don’t just go running to the bathroom with a Ziploc bag. Do your homework, apply properly, and follow all medical guidelines. It’s a real science, not just a stinky side hustle.

Hollywood Set to Get Its First Public Restroom and Visitor Center

2025-06-26T21:04:00Z

Hollywood Set to Get Its First Public Restroom and Visitor Center

Big news for one of L.A.’s most iconic neighborhoods: Hollywood is finally getting its very first public restroom. In a unanimous 13-0 vote, the Los Angeles City Council approved a plan to open a visitor information center and public bathroom right in the heart of Hollywood.

The new facility will be located at 1627 Vine Street and will be part of the Hollywood Walk of Fame Public Amenities Project. The city is partnering with Hollywood Partnership Ventures—an affiliate of the Hollywood Partnership Community Trust (HPCT)—to bring the long-awaited project to life.

“This will be, believe it or not, the first public bathroom in Hollywood,” said Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, who represents the district. He added that once the contract is finalized, the center could be up and running within about a year.

What’s Coming

The planned development will include:

Public restrooms
A concierge-style visitor information center
Cleaning and safety ambassadors on site during business hours

The site is currently a city-owned property that’s been underutilized for years, including a retail space that’s been vacant for quite some time. Though the city previously tried to find tenants for the space back in 2017 and 2018, earlier efforts fell flat—until now.

More Than Just a Bathroom

With the Hollywood Walk of Fame just steps away, city officials hope this project will not only serve tourists but also provide basic services for the area’s unhoused population. Social service groups, residents, and local businesses have all voiced strong support for the project.

The Hollywood Partnership Community Trust will cover the full construction costs. Meanwhile, the City of Los Angeles is contributing $1 million from CRA/LA Excess Bond Proceeds—funds specifically designated to fight urban blight and support infrastructure projects. An additional $500,000 in state funding has also been secured to support design and construction.

The lease for the site will align with the existing contract for the Hollywood Entertainment District Business Improvement District (BID), which runs through the end of 2028.

A Long Time Coming

While it may seem surprising that Hollywood, one of the most visited neighborhoods in the world, doesn’t already have a public bathroom, this project marks a long-overdue step in improving both the visitor experience and public services in the area.

So whether you're a local, a tourist, or someone in need of a clean and safe space, help is finally on the way—and Hollywood is getting just a bit more hospitable.

California Cities Raise Minimum Wage Starting July 1: Here's What You Need to Know

2025-06-26T01:51:00Z

California Cities Raise Minimum Wage Starting July 1: Here’s What You Need to Know

Starting July 1, many cities across California will implement new minimum wage increases aimed at helping workers keep up with rising costs due to inflation. While the state’s base minimum wage rose to $16.50 per hour earlier this year, several cities are pushing beyond that to reflect local living costs.

Why This Matters

California has long led the charge in wage reform, and this latest round of adjustments reinforces that trend. Back in January, 25 cities already rolled out minimum wage hikes that exceeded the state rate. Now, more cities are joining them with increases taking effect in July. Some sectors — including fast food, health care, tourism, and hospitality — are seeing even greater gains.

Los Angeles, for example, is considering significant wage boosts for tourism workers ahead of the 2028 Olympics, while other specialized sectors like hotel and airport workers are receiving targeted increases starting this summer.

These wage hikes come alongside several other new laws taking effect July 1 in California — from cracking down on retail theft to regulating hidden cleaning fees in short-term rentals and expanding protections for domestic workers.

City-by-City Wage Changes

Here’s a snapshot of the updated hourly minimum wages in select cities:

Alameda: $17.46 (up from $17.00)
Berkeley: $19.18 (up from $18.67)
Emeryville: $19.90 (up from $19.36)
Fremont: $17.75 (up from $17.30)
Los Angeles: $17.87 (up from $17.20)
Milpitas: $18.20 (up from $17.81)
San Francisco: $19.18 (up from $18.67)
Santa Monica: $17.81 (up from $17.21)
West Hollywood: $19.65 (up from $19.61)
- Hotel workers in West Hollywood: $20.22 (up from $19.61)

And in some industries, like fast food, the minimum wage has already climbed to $20 an hour statewide.

What the Experts Are Saying

According to University of Pennsylvania professor Ioana Marinescu, these increases are likely to raise wages without causing significant job losses. While highly competitive labor markets might feel some pressure, moderate wage hikes tend to help both workers and local economies.

Eric French, a labor economist at the University of Cambridge, also noted that these increases are long overdue, especially since the federal minimum wage hasn’t kept pace with inflation. California’s relatively high wages and progressive labor policies are leading the way for other states to follow.

What Employers Need to Do

Businesses operating in California must check local ordinances to ensure compliance with the updated minimum wage rates. These changes go into effect July 1, so reviewing payroll and adjusting wages where necessary is essential.

As California continues to push for stronger worker protections and livable wages, these local increases reflect broader efforts to ensure workers aren’t left behind by rising living costs.

What Your Dreams Are Trying to Tell You

2025-06-24T18:31:00Z

Dream meanings are highly personal and subjective. While there are common interpretations for certain dream themes, the most meaningful understanding of your dreams will come from reflecting on your own emotions, experiences, and current life situation. Dream interpretation is a personal journey of self-discovery, not a one-size-fits-all science.

Here's a breakdown of why dream interpretation is complex and how you can approach understanding your own dreams:

Why Dream Interpretation is Subjective:

Individualized Symbolism:

A dream symbol (like falling, being chased, or seeing a specific object) might have different meanings for different people based on their personal experiences and associations.

The Unconscious Mind:

Dreams tap into the subconscious, which is unique to each individual, filled with personal memories, emotions, and unresolved issues.

No Universal Key:

There isn't a single, universally accepted dream dictionary that accurately translates every dream into a definitive meaning.

How to Approach Dream Interpretation:

1. Journaling:

Keep a dream journal to record your dreams regularly. Note down details like the setting, characters, emotions, and any unusual elements.

2. Identify Recurring Themes:

Pay attention to recurring dream themes or symbols. This can indicate areas of your life that require attention or exploration.

3. Reflect on Your Emotions:

How did the dream make you feel? Were you scared, happy, anxious, or something else? Your emotions can provide valuable clues to the dream's meaning.

4. Consider Your Current Life:

Think about what's happening in your waking life. Are you stressed, facing challenges, or experiencing significant changes? These factors can influence your dreams.

5. Explore Common Dream Meanings:

While not definitive, common dream themes can offer starting points for reflection.For example:
Falling: May indicate a feeling of losing control or a fear of failure.
Being Chased: Could represent avoiding something in your waking life.
Teeth Falling Out: Often associated with anxiety, insecurity, or a fear of losing something.
Being Late: May suggest feeling unprepared or stressed about a situation.
Flying: Could symbolize freedom, ambition, or a sense of accomplishment.
Water: Often linked to emotions and the subconscious, with different interpretations based on the water's state (calm, turbulent, etc.).

6. Seek Guidance (Optional):

If you're struggling to understand your dreams, consider consulting a therapist, dream analyst, or someone knowledgeable in dream interpretation.

7. Focus on Personal Meaning:

Ultimately, the most valuable interpretations will be those that resonate with your own experiences and feelings.

Can You Do This Simple Test? It Might Predict How Long You'll Live

2025-06-23T18:52:00Z

Here’s a fun little health challenge that might just reveal more than you think—especially if you pass it.

A recent study involving over 4,000 adults between the ages of 46 and 75 found that a quick physical test could predict your risk of dying from heart or lung-related issues within the next 10 years. And no, it doesn’t involve running a marathon or hitting the gym.

The Test: Sit-to-Stand Without Support

It’s called the sit-to-stand test, or sometimes the cross-leg get-up test. And it’s as straightforward as it sounds:

Sit down on the floor in a cross-legged position.
Stand back up—without using your hands, knees, elbows, or anything for support.

Sound easy? That’s the idea. If you can do it smoothly and without wobbling, it’s a strong indicator of good overall health—especially non-aerobic fitness factors like balance, flexibility, muscle strength, and coordination.

How It’s Scored

The scoring starts at 10 points. You lose one point each time you use support—whether it’s a hand, knee, or grabbing onto something. A little off-balance wobble? That’s a half-point off.

Examples:

Use your hand once to get up and once to sit down? That’s an 8.
Lose balance and wobble once? That’s 9.5.

Why It Matters

The data from the study was eye-opening. People who scored 4 or lower were six times more likely to die over the next decade than those who scored 8 or higher. That’s a big difference for such a simple test.

The reason it’s so telling? It combines many elements of physical health—not just endurance or cardio—but things like core strength, flexibility, balance, and body control. These tend to decline with age and are tied to your long-term mobility and health.

Want to Try It?

Give it a go! But follow these guidelines:

Do it on a soft surface, like a mat or carpet, to cushion any falls.
Have support nearby, like a chair or wall, just in case.
Don’t try it if you have knee, hip, back, or joint issues—or any condition that limits movement or balance.

Final Thoughts

This isn’t a perfect predictor of health or longevity, but it’s a surprisingly effective snapshot of your functional fitness. If you ace it—great! If not, it could be a sign to start working on mobility, strength, and balance.

It’s never too late to take small steps toward better health. And sometimes, those small steps start from the floor.

The Ideal Thermostat Setting for Summer

2025-06-20T15:29:00Z

The ideal thermostat setting for summer is generally 78°F (26°C) when you're at home and potentially 82°F (28°C) or higher when you're away or sleeping. This helps balance comfort with energy conservation.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

78°F (26°C) while at home:

This is the recommended starting point by the U.S. Department of Energy for optimal energy savings while maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.

Slightly warmer temperatures (82°F or higher) when away or sleeping:

Increasing the thermostat setting by a few degrees when you're not home or when you're asleep can lead to significant energy savings without sacrificing comfort too much.

Consider personal preferences and local conditions:

Some individuals may find 78°F too warm and may prefer a slightly lower temperature, while others may be comfortable with it. Adjust the temperature to your comfort level while still aiming for energy efficiency.

Use fans to supplement cooling:

Ceiling fans can help circulate air and make a room feel cooler, allowing you to raise the thermostat setting without feeling uncomfortable.

Close blinds and curtains:

Blocking direct sunlight can help reduce the amount of heat entering your home, making it easier to maintain a comfortable temperature with a higher thermostat setting.

Limit heat-generating appliances:

Avoid using appliances like ovens and stoves during the hottest parts of the day, as they can contribute to a warmer indoor environment.

By following these guidelines, you can enjoy a comfortable home environment while also reducing your energy consumption and saving money on your electricity bill.

The Top Restaurants in Los Angeles You Have To Try

2025-06-17T18:56:00Z

Los Angeles doesn’t just serve food—it serves unforgettable experiences. Here are the top 5 restaurants you simply can't miss, each for its unique flavor, ambiance, and cultural impact.

1. n/naka (Palms – Michelin-starred Kaiseki)

Chef Niki Nakayama’s two-Michelin-starred kaiseki temple is an edible art gallery. Each dish weaves storytelling with immaculate technique and seasonal Californian ingredients. With only 26 seats and a 13-course tasting menu, dining here is a highly curated, intimate journey into Japanese cuisine—a bucket-list experience.

A post shared by n/naka (@nnakarestaurant)

2. Orsa & Winston (Downtown LA – French-Japanese Fusion)

Chef Josef Centeno blends Japanese precision with Italian and French flair at this Michelin-recommended gem. The 33-seat modern dining room delivers an innovative, globally inspired menu—ideal for those craving refined fusion in a relaxed, artful atmosphere.

3. Camphor (Arts District – French with South Asian Influence)

A daring spin on French bistro classics, Camphor impresses with dishes like duck à l’orange and crab rice enhanced by Southeast Asian spices. Housed in a minimalist, zen-like space, it’s a top pick for diners wanting both creativity and serenity in one plate.

4. Providence (Melrose – Two-Michelin-Star Seafood)

A benchmark for sustainable fine dining, Providence is Michael Cimarusti’s seafood sanctuary. Expect impeccably sourced uni, lobster, and abalone served in an elegant, intimate dining room. It’s the standard-bearer for oceanic haute cuisine in L.A.

5. Holbox (South LA – Mexican Seafood Counter)

A Yelp Top 100 and Michelin-listed darling, Holbox brings Mayan-inspired seafood—ceviche, grilled octopus, fish tacos—to the lively Mercado La Paloma. Casual yet thrillingly delicious, it delivers fresh coastal flavors with an unpretentious vibe that feels authentically Angelino.

Why These Stand Out

Restaurant	Why Go?
n/naka	Immersive, artful, and tenderly precise tasting-menu journey
Orsa & Winston	Sophisticated global fusion in a charming, intimate setting
Camphor	Bold, refined French classics with a creative twist
Providence	Premier sustainable seafood in a luxurious fine-dining space
Holbox	Festive, fresh Mexican seafood with a community vibe

Tips for Visitors

Book early: n/naka, Providence, and Orsa & Winston fill up months in advance.
Dress smart: Fine‑dining calls for business‑casual attire.
Go casual at Holbox: No reservations needed—just show up ready for flavor.
Embrace tasting menus: Most of these restaurants shine when you let the chef lead.

From Michelin-starred masterpieces to vibrant street‑style feasts, these five restaurants showcase the best of L.A.'s culinary landscape—must-visit destinations for locals and travelers alike.

Malort Challenge: The Top 10 restaurant chains have the happiest workers

2025-06-16T18:19:00Z

In a job market where company culture matters more than ever, one fast-food chain continues to stand tall: In-N-Out Burger. The iconic California-based burger joint has claimed the #1 spot for employee satisfaction among major U.S. restaurant chains—for the 10th year in a row.

The ranking comes from an in-depth annual study conducted by investment bank William Blair, which analyzed over 530,000 employee reviews across nearly 90 different restaurant brands over 11 years. The results were published by Nation’s Restaurant News and further detailed by QSR Magazine.

In this year’s findings, 91% of In-N-Out employees said they would recommend working at the chain to a friend—up 5% from the previous year. That kind of employee loyalty is rare, especially in the fast-paced, high-turnover food service industry.

The Top 10 Chains for Employee Satisfaction in 2025

Here’s how the rankings shook out this year:

Rank	Restaurant Chain	% of Employees Who’d Recommend It
1	In-N-Out	91%
2	Raising Cane’s	82%
3	Dutch Bros	78%
4	Chuy’s	78%
5	Peet’s Coffee & Tea	76%
6	Caribou Coffee	74%
7	Lazy Dog	74%
8	Portillo’s	73%
9	LongHorn Steakhouse	73%
10	Chick-fil-A	72%

At the bottom of the list? Hardee’s, ranking 39th overall.

What’s Driving Job Satisfaction?

Interestingly, the study found that pay and benefits weren’t the biggest factors in determining job satisfaction. Instead, the top three drivers were:

Company culture and values
Trust in senior management
Work/life balance

While raises and bonuses are nice, they’re not enough to keep employees happy on their own. “Business is tough,” one California fast-food franchise owner told NRN, “but creating a positive culture makes a big difference.”

In-N-Out’s Secret Sauce? Consistency and Culture

In-N-Out is also the only restaurant chain to appear in the top 10 every single year of the study’s 11-year history. That kind of consistency suggests a deeply ingrained culture that prioritizes employee satisfaction.

From hands-on training to clear career advancement opportunities, In-N-Out has built a reputation for treating its workers well—and it’s paying off.

In an industry known for burnout and high turnover, these results are a powerful reminder: when companies invest in their people, it shows.

Dolly Parton's 3-Ingredient Fruit Cocktail Cake Is Retro Perfection Recipe

2025-06-13T15:24:00Z

Dolly Parton's 3-Ingredient Fruit Cocktail Cake Is Retro Perfection

Dolly Parton's Fruit Cocktail Cake proves that she and I are undeniably sugar soulmates. My hunch began to form when Dolly was promoting her Duncan Hines line of boxed cake mixes, frostings, and frozen pies, claiming, "I have a lot of teeth and all of them are sweet." (Preach, sister.)

What Is Dolly Parton's Fruit Cocktail Cake?

This fruit cocktail cake recipe came to life through Dolly's character Truvy Jones in the silver screen classic, "Steel Magnolias." Truvy describes her "Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa" cake as requiring just one cup each of self-rising flour, sugar, and fruit cocktail with the juice.

Ingredients

2 (15-oz.) cans fruit cocktail (juice pack)
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Ice cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
Drain 1 can fruit cocktail, discarding juice. In a medium bowl whisk together self-rising flour and sugar. Stir in remaining can of fruit cocktail with juice, drained fruit cocktail, and vanilla; stir until just combined. Transfer mixture to prepared dish.

Test Kitchen Tip: Remaining fruit cocktail juice can be reserved for another use. Try adding it to a smoothie or cocktail.
Bake 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few clinging crumbs and top is lightly golden brown. Cool in dish on a wire rack 15 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.

Malort Challenge: States Who Tipped The Most

2025-06-12T17:37:00Z

Americans Spent a Whopping $78 Billion on Tips Last Year — Here's Who Tipped the Most

If you’ve felt like dining out is getting more expensive — especially when it comes to tipping — you're not imagining things. A new analysis from LendingTree reveals that Americans collectively shelled out an estimated $78 billion in tips at restaurants, bars, and other food establishments in 2023.

Tipping Trends Across the U.S.

The study, based on government data, found that tips accounted for 15.02% of spending at full-service restaurants and 6.75% of all food spending away from home. But tipping habits vary widely depending on where you live.

At the top of the tipping leaderboard? New Hampshire, where 16.07% of residents’ dining dollars went toward tips. Here's how the top 10 states (and districts) ranked:

New Hampshire – 16.07%
District of Columbia – 12.65%
South Carolina – 11.17%
Minnesota – 10.11%
North Carolina – 9.75%
Washington – 9.51%
Vermont – 9.31%
Nebraska – 9.12%
Rhode Island – 8.54%
Maine – 8.18%

On the other end of the spectrum, Utah had the lowest tipping rate at just 4.09%, followed closely by Mississippi and Idaho, where tipping made up 5.10% or less of dining-out expenses. California landed in the middle of the pack, ranking 31st with an average tipping rate of 6.15%.

Who Spends the Most on Dining Out?

LendingTree also analyzed how much people in each state are spending on dining out overall — and the numbers are eye-opening. In the District of Columbia, residents spent an average of $10,291 per person annually on meals away from home, more than any other state.

Here are the top 10 states (and D.C.) for annual per-person dining-out spending:

District of Columbia – $10,291
Nevada – $6,752
Hawaii – $6,628
California – $5,072
Massachusetts – $4,626
Colorado – $4,579
New York – $4,424
Rhode Island – $4,412
New Hampshire – $4,224
Washington – $4,182

Despite rising grocery prices, Americans are still prioritizing meals out — not just for convenience, but for the experience.

“Even as the rising cost of groceries stretches household budgets to the breaking point, we don’t want to give up the fun and excitement — and convenience — of dining out,” the study’s authors wrote.

Costco Just Gave Executive Members Another Big Reason to Upgrade

Costco Just Gave Executive Members Another Big Reason to Upgrade

If you love the deals at Costco but dread the weekend crowds and checkout lines, there’s good news—especially if you’re willing to upgrade your membership.

Starting June 30, Costco will offer early shopping hours exclusively for Executive Members, the warehouse retailer announced in an email to members. Executive Members, who pay $130 per year (compared to the standard $65 Gold Star membership), will be allowed to shop 30 minutes to an hour before the general public.

Here’s How It Breaks Down:

Weekdays & Sundays: Early access from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Saturdays: A shorter window from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

Gold Star members will still have access to all the same products and services—just not during these exclusive early hours.

While Costco didn’t confirm whether the early access will apply at every warehouse simultaneously, some Michigan locations have reportedly already begun testing the new hours. Implementation may vary depending on each store’s standard opening time, which typically ranges from 9:30 a.m. on Saturdays to 10 a.m. on weekdays, though a few locations already open at 9 a.m. daily.

More Than Just Early Access

This new benefit adds to the growing list of perks Executive Members receive, including:

2% cashback on most purchases (up to $1,000 annually)
Exclusive savings on travel, insurance, and auto services

So if you’ve ever wished for a quieter Costco experience—minus the carts-on-carts traffic jams—it might be time to consider the upgrade. Just don’t forget your shopping list. Early bird or not, those $1.50 hot dogs still taste the same.

Wendy's Brings the Bacon (and Burgers) to Grocery Stores

2025-06-10T18:22:00Z

Craving a Wendy’s Baconator but don’t feel like leaving the house? You're in luck—Wendy’s is now bringing some of its signature ingredients straight to your local grocery store.

The fast food giant has rolled out two new grocery items: double-smoked bacon and beef burger patties, both inspired by their iconic menu. These products give fans the chance to recreate the magic of a Baconator right from their own kitchen.

The new additions were first spotted in the wild by foodies on Instagram. @markie_devo shared a snap of the thick-cut, naturally smoked bacon, which was seen in the refrigerated section of a Kroger in Kentucky. “Restaurant inspired” and “extra thick cut,” the label promises all the indulgence you’d expect from Wendy’s.

Wendy’s confirmed the launch in a statement:

“Wendy’s is pursuing opportunities to bring our fresh, famous food to customers in new and exciting ways... Currently, Wendy’s fans in some select markets can pick up double smoked bacon at their local King Soopers or Kroger.”

If you’re a fan of the Baconator—that glorious stack of two beef patties, six strips of bacon, American cheese, ketchup, and mayo—these new items might be your golden ticket to a DIY version at home.

Word of the launch spread quickly on foodie Instagram accounts like @snackbetch, who first spotted the Wendy’s-branded burger patties earlier in May.

Reactions on social media have been a mixed bag. Some users were hyped, calling the bacon “always 🔥🔥🔥.” Others weren’t quite sold. “It’s just bacon tho?” one commenter asked, while another questioned the authenticity: “Is that really Wendy’s bacon?”

Still, the product drops have sparked excitement about what Wendy’s could roll out next. Some fans are hoping for bottled BBQ sauce or frozen chicken nuggets to make their way to store shelves soon.

This isn’t Wendy’s first foray into grocery aisles. In April 2023, the chain teamed up with Conagra Brands to release its famous chili in a canned version. Sold for $4.99, it quickly became a hit—and even earned a spot in PEOPLE’s 2023 Food Awards.

Whether you're a Wendy’s superfan or just someone who loves bacon done right, these new releases offer a tasty way to bring the fast food flavor home.

Beware the Bite: The "Sneaky" Invasive Ant That's Spreading Across the U.S.

2025-06-09T17:54:00Z

Beware the Bite: The "Sneaky" Invasive Ant That’s Spreading Across the U.S.

There’s a tiny invader creeping through more than a dozen U.S. states—and it packs a potentially deadly sting. Meet the Asian needle ant, an invasive species that’s been in the country for nearly a century, but only recently has it started causing real concern among scientists and public health experts.

First detected in Georgia in 1932, these stealthy pests—officially known as Brachyponera chinensis—have slowly spread their reach, especially across the southeastern U.S. Today, they’ve been spotted from Florida to Washington State, with recent sightings in Texas putting experts on high alert.

According to Dan Suiter, a professor of urban entomology at the University of Georgia, Asian needle ants are more than just a nuisance—they can be dangerous. “It injects venom that can harm you. Its sting can be life threatening,” he told the university.

A Sting That Can Kill

While many people experience mild reactions to insect stings, those who are allergic may be at serious risk. Asian needle ants can cause anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction that can strike within seconds. “If you suffer from anaphylaxis, you should really know what this ant looks like,” Suiter warns. He also recommends carrying an EpiPen if you’re in high-risk areas.

What Makes Asian Needle Ants Different?

Unlike some invasive species that show up after natural disasters or human development, Asian needle ants don’t wait for an open invitation. They’re sneaky—just 0.2 inches long—and often go unnoticed because they nest in quiet, undisturbed places like under logs, rocks, and leaf litter. They’re dark brown or black with lighter, orange-brown legs and antennae tips.

Their behavior is just as disruptive as their sting. These ants aggressively outcompete native ant species, especially those crucial for forest health, like seed-dispersing ants. Research shows that areas invaded by Asian needle ants suffer large declines in seed dispersal—putting the balance of entire ecosystems at risk.

What Should You Do If You Spot One?

Because they resemble other ant species, correctly identifying Asian needle ants can be tricky. If you think you’ve found one, experts suggest taking a clear photo or collecting a specimen and contacting your local University of Georgia Extension office—or a local pest professional—for help. Suiter also advises being particularly cautious in forested areas with rotting wood or leaf piles, where the ants often make their homes.

Unfortunately, it looks like Asian needle ants are here to stay. But with increased awareness and vigilance, we can limit their impact—and protect both ourselves and our native ecosystems.

A 1976 $2 Bill Sells for $35,250

2025-06-09T17:40:00Z

The Story Behind the 1976 $2 Bill — And Why It Could Be Worth More Than You Think

The United States didn’t always stand as the independent nation we know today. That status was officially declared on July 4, 1776, with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Since then, America has weathered wars, economic downturns, and major political shifts—moments that have shaped its place in the world.

Every year, Americans celebrate Independence Day with fireworks, barbecues, and red-white-and-blue everything. But in 1976, the celebration had extra weight: it was the bicentennial, marking 200 years of U.S. independence. To honor the occasion, the U.S. Treasury brought back a lesser-seen piece of currency—the $2 bill—with a fresh new design.

What Makes the 1976 $2 Bill Special?

At first glance, the front of the bill looks familiar: Thomas Jefferson remains the face of the $2 denomination. But flip it over, and you'll spot the major change—the back features John Trumbull’s iconic painting, "The Declaration of Independence," depicting the presentation of the document to the Continental Congress. This powerful image gave the bicentennial note both visual impact and historical significance.

Despite the redesign, the 1976 $2 bill never gained widespread use. At the time, the U.S. economy was in a slump, and the idea of spending a $2 bill felt impractical—almost like walking around with a $1000 note today. As a result, many bills were set aside and preserved rather than circulated.

A Bit of Background

Congress approved the reissue of the $2 bill in the early 1970s, and it was officially released on July 5, 1976—the day after the bicentennial celebrations. Even though they’re dated 1976, no new bills of this series were printed again until 1995.

Because of their low usage, a surprising number of these notes are still in pristine condition, tucked away in drawers or collected over the decades. Their combination of historical importance and limited circulation has made them increasingly attractive to collectors.

Is Your 1976 $2 Bill Worth More Than Face Value?

If you’ve held on to a 1976 $2 bill—or found one recently—you might be wondering what it’s worth. Here's what collectors consider when assessing its value:

Condition (Grade): Crisp, uncirculated bills are worth more than worn ones.
Serial Number: Notes with low numbers, patterns, or repeats can significantly increase value.
Signatures: Bills signed by Arthur Burns and Robert B. Anderson (the final signers of the 1976 series) are especially sought-after.
Federal Reserve District: Some districts printed fewer bills. Notes from those are rarer.
Star Notes: These have a star (*) at the end of the serial number and were printed to replace defective bills—making them scarcer.
First Day Postal Stamps: Some bills were stamped at post offices on July 5, 1976. These limited-edition pieces are collector gold.

What’s the 1976 $2 Bill Worth Today?

The value of your bill depends on a mix of rarity, condition, and special features. Here's a general pricing breakdown:

💵 Lower-Value Notes (Under $20):

Circulated bills with visible wear go for around $5.
A crisp, uncirculated bill from Dallas (“K” district) may sell for $9.90.
A pristine Kansas City note (“J” district) could fetch $16.50.

💵💵 Mid-Range Bills ($20–$500):

Star notes and first-day stamped bills typically fall in this range.
A New York star note? About $95.
A high-grade, stamped note? Up to $399.
An autographed Kansas City star note? Around $257.

💵💵💵 High-Value Notes ($500–$2,500):

These are mint-condition notes with unique features—think low serial numbers, autographs, or professional grading.
A pristine star note with an autograph? About $850.
Serial number “33”? Nearly $2,000.
A pair of consecutive rare serials? Over $2,000.

💰 Top-Tier Treasures ($2,500 and Up):

Full packs of 100 uncirculated notes can reach $3,450.
Serial number “00000002”? It sold for $9,400.
Serial number “00000001” from San Francisco? Over $21,000.
The rarest privately owned star note with serial number 1 fetched a whopping $35,250.

Final Thoughts

While the $2 bill might not be something you see every day, the 1976 version holds a special place in American history—and potentially in your wallet. Whether you're a longtime collector or just curious about the value of a bill passed down from a grandparent, now might be a good time to take a closer look.

Got one of these rare bills? You could be holding more than just a quirky piece of currency—you might have a piece of history worth hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars.

Travel Warning: U.S. Issues Alert on Dating App-Related Kidnappings in Mexico

2025-06-06T15:13:00Z

Travel Warning: U.S. Issues Alert on Dating App-Related Kidnappings in Mexico

If you’re planning a trip to Mexico and considering using dating apps while abroad, there’s an important safety alert you need to know about.

The U.S. Embassy & Consulate in Mexico has issued a warning to American travelers after a disturbing rise in kidnappings linked to online dating apps. The incidents have primarily occurred in the popular tourist destinations of Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Nayarit.

What’s Happening?

According to U.S. officials, several victims met their kidnappers through dating platforms. The setup is chilling: after matching online, victims were lured into meeting in person—only to be kidnapped and held for ransom. In several cases, families back in the U.S. were extorted for large sums of money to secure their loved ones’ release.

This growing trend has raised red flags with the U.S. State Department, which currently advises:

Jalisco (home to Puerto Vallarta): Level 3 – Reconsider Travel due to high crime and kidnapping rates.
Nayarit (which includes Nuevo Nayarit): Level 2 – Exercise Increased Caution due to crime.

Why This Matters

While dating apps can be a fun way to meet people when traveling, these incidents are a serious reminder of the potential dangers—especially in regions already flagged for safety concerns. This isn’t just about romance gone wrong; it’s about organized criminal activity preying on unsuspecting travelers.

How to Stay Safe

If you’re traveling to Mexico—or anywhere abroad—and plan to use dating apps, here are some crucial safety tips from the U.S. Consulate:

Stay in Public Spaces: Always meet in well-populated, public places. Avoid private residences, hotel rooms, or secluded areas.
Keep Others Informed: Share your plans with someone you trust—where you're going, who you're meeting, and what app you used.
Listen to Your Gut: If anything feels off, don’t hesitate to leave the situation immediately.
Know Who to Call: In an emergency, dial 911 for local police assistance. If you're a U.S. citizen and need consular help, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Final Thoughts

Traveling should be a rewarding experience, but it’s essential to stay informed and vigilant—especially when navigating online connections abroad. This warning isn’t meant to scare you, but to empower you to travel smarter and safer.

Stay alert. Stay safe. And enjoy your journey responsibly.

Kobe and Gigi Bryant Memorial Mural Vandalized Again in Downtown L.A.

2025-06-04T18:40:00Z

A beloved mural in downtown Los Angeles that honors Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi has been defaced for the second time in just over a month, leaving fans heartbroken and the community in disbelief.

The mural, painted by local artist Louie “Sloe” Motion, stands on Main Street near West 14th Street. It has become a powerful tribute since Kobe, Gigi, and seven others tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash in January 2020. The piece, showing the NBA icon gently kissing his daughter’s forehead, has served as a place of remembrance and reflection for thousands.

(First Time Vandalized Mural - Photo Credit KTLA)

The first incident of vandalism occurred on April 29, when large graffiti tags were sprayed across much of the artwork. In response, fans rallied together, launching a GoFundMe to restore the mural. Their efforts got a major boost when current Lakers star Luka Dončić — who joined the team midseason in a shocking 2025 trade — stepped up and personally donated the full amount needed for restoration.

Thanks to that generous contribution, work on the mural began the next day and was fully completed exactly one month later. But heartbreak struck again just days after the restoration: the mural was vandalized once more.

(Second Time Vandalized Mural - Photo Credit KTLA)

As of now, no suspects have been identified in either act of vandalism. It remains unclear whether the artist plans to restore the mural a second time.

The repeated defacement of this powerful tribute has sparked renewed conversation around respect, legacy, and community — and reminded many just how fragile even our most heartfelt memorials can be.

New Park & Ride Option Connects the San Fernando Valley to the Hollywood Bowl

Great news for music lovers in the San Fernando Valley — getting to the Hollywood Bowl just got a lot easier.

Just in time for the Bowl’s highly anticipated summer season, a brand-new Park & Ride service has launched, connecting the Sylmar Metrolink Station directly to the iconic Hollywood venue. This marks the first time Sylmar is part of the Bowl’s Park & Ride network, making it a game-changer for Valley residents who’ve long struggled with traffic and limited parking near the venue.

“This is about making arts and culture accessible to every corner of L.A. County,” said L.A. County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who represents the Third District. “This new service reflects our commitment to equity, sustainability, and joy — bringing music and performing arts closer to home for more Angelenos.”

Here’s How It Works:

The Sylmar Park & Ride will operate on select concert nights throughout the summer.
Riders can reserve spots in advance, making it a stress-free alternative to fighting traffic or paying for pricey parking.
It’s all part of the Bowl’s wider transit network, which includes 15 Park & Ride locations across L.A. County, plus four shuttle lines that help move concertgoers in and out with ease.

Kicking Off the Season in Style

The season officially begins on June 7 with “An Evening with Hugh Jackman,” where the star of The Greatest Showman and Les Misérables will take the stage to perform beloved songs from his film career.

Whether you’re heading to Hugh Jackman or planning to catch one of the many other summer concerts, the new Sylmar service makes it more convenient than ever to enjoy live music under the stars.

Plan Your Ride

To check concert dates and reserve your Park & Ride spot, visit the Hollywood Bowl's official website. And if you're in the Valley — especially near Sylmar — this might just be your new favorite way to get to the Bowl.

The Search Is On for Marty McFly's Legendary Guitar from Back to the Future

2025-06-03T18:00:00Z

The Search Is On for Marty McFly’s Legendary Guitar from Back to the Future

A piece of cinematic — and musical — history has gone missing, and now the hunt is officially on.

Gibson Guitars and Universal Home Entertainment, along with filmmaker Doc Crotzer, have launched Lost to the Future, a quest to track down one of the most iconic props from Back to the Future: the cherry red Gibson ES-345 guitar that Michael J. Fox (as Marty McFly) famously shreds during the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. That unforgettable scene, where Marty rocks out to “Johnny B. Goode,” lit a fire in the hearts of music lovers and aspiring guitarists around the world.

The twist? That legendary guitar has been missing for decades.

Originally rented from Norm’s Rare Guitars in Tarzana, California, the ES-345 vanished sometime after filming — and despite years of searching, no one knows where it ended up. But now, with Gibson and Crotzer leading the charge, a full-fledged search is underway, and a documentary is in the works to chronicle the journey.

“Back to the Future made me want to make movies and pick up a guitar,” says Crotzer (Road House, Shotgun Wedding, Glee). “I’ve always wondered what happened to that guitar.”

Turns out, he’s not alone. Gibson’s Mark Agnesi, who once worked at Norm’s and now serves as the company’s Director of Brand Experience, has been quietly hunting for the guitar for 16 years. Despite combing through countless stacks of vintage instruments, it’s remained elusive.

A Pop Culture Obsession

That scene from Back to the Future has inspired countless musicians. Chris Martin of Coldplay even credited the film as one of the reasons the band exists, calling Michael J. Fox “our hero forever.” Guitar icons like John Mayer and Jason Isbell echo the sentiment, describing the ES-345 as the most iconic guitar ever featured in a movie.

“The world needs to see that guitar,” Isbell says in a new video announcing the search.

If you’ve got a lead on its whereabouts, the team wants to hear from you. Tips can be submitted via LostToTheFuture.comor by calling 1-888-345-1955.

So Where Did It Go?

According to Agnesi, the trail runs cold in the mid-1980s. The guitar was reportedly returned to Norm’s Rare Guitars, but from there, its journey gets murky — possibly swept up in the Japanese vintage guitar boom of the era.

Unfortunately, the guitar’s serial number was never documented. But there's a unique clue: a solid inlay on the 12th fret, unlike the split inlays typical of the ES-345. That distinctive detail is now the key to authenticating the real deal.

“That anomaly is the smoking gun we’re looking for,” says Agnesi. “It won’t be on any other guitar.”

Crotzer calls it “the most amazing coincidence” — a cosmic sign that the guitar wants to be found.

A Few Historical Hiccups

While the movie is set in 1955, the ES-345 didn’t actually debut until 1958 — and the cherry red version didn’t hit the scene until 1959. At the time, Chuck Berry would have been playing a different Gibson model altogether. But the filmmakers opted for style and impact over strict historical accuracy. And we’re glad they did — because that guitar helped make the scene truly unforgettable.

Even Berry’s own family wasn’t bothered. His son, Charles Berry Jr., called the film “a nice wholesome movie,” saying his father got a kick out of it. “It may not be exactly the right guitar, but we’ll take it.”

And as for Marvin Berry? No, he wasn’t real — just a fun piece of movie magic.

More Than Just a Guitar

The search is just one part of a broader celebration of the film’s legacy. Gibson is releasing custom versions of the ES-345 this fall, alongside Back to the Future-themed apparel. An upcoming episode of Gibson TV: The Collection will feature Michael J. Fox talking about his love for guitars and his personal collection. Proceeds will also benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation, through Gibson Gives.

“It’s like Excalibur,” Fox says of the missing ES-345. “I was having the f---ing best time. I didn’t realize the influence it had on people.”

The Bigger Picture

Ultimately, Lost to the Future isn’t just about recovering a guitar — it’s about tracing the impact of a moment that sparked creativity in an entire generation.

“There’s a collective experience here we really want to capture,” says Crotzer. “Whether you went on to become Chris Martin or just played in your garage, this scene meant something.”

Let’s hope that guitar resurfaces. Until then, the story — and the music — plays on.

A Big Milestone in Big Bear: One of the Bald Eagle Chicks Takes Flight

2025-06-02T18:41:00Z

A moment of triumph unfolded high above the San Bernardino National Forest on Monday morning, as one of Big Bear’s beloved bald eagle chicks took to the skies for the very first time.

While it’s still unclear whether it was Sunny or Gizmo—both thought to be sisters—what is certain is that one of the eaglets finally made the big leap from the nest. After a few tentative flaps and some determined wing stretches, the young eagle confidently lifted off, quickly soaring out of sight, leaving its sibling watching from the edge of the nest.

This exciting milestone follows a weekend of practice, when both chicks managed to hover briefly during their first attempts at flight, according to the Friends of Big Bear Valley. The organization has been closely monitoring the eaglets via their popular live camera feed, capturing every step of their growth.

Perched near the top of a towering 145-foot Jeffrey pine tree, the nest provides a breathtaking launchpad within the San Bernardino National Forest—a perfect spot for young eagles to test their wings.

The sky’s the limit now for this brave young raptor, and with one chick airborne, it’s only a matter of time before the other follows suit.

Is Diet Coke Really a Healthy Choice? Here's What Experts Say

2025-06-02T17:39:00Z

Is Diet Coke Really a Healthy Choice? Here’s What Experts Say

It might be calorie-free and sugar-free, but don’t let that fool you—Diet Coke isn’t exactly a healthy beverage, according to nutrition experts.

Although it’s often marketed as a "better" alternative to regular soda, studies have linked diet sodas to a variety of health concerns. “Research shows that drinking two or more artificially sweetened drinks a day may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke,” says Michelle Routhenstein, a New York-based registered dietitian who specializes in heart health.

Even just one diet soda per day could raise your risk of atrial fibrillation (Afib), an irregular heartbeat that can lead to serious issues like stroke, Routhenstein warns.

So, what’s behind the risks? Some studies suggest that artificial sweeteners may interfere with the body’s metabolism and gut health. These sweeteners can produce byproducts that affect how our bodies process energy. Others believe they may disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, a key player in overall health and chronic disease prevention.

Routhenstein also points out another concern: how addictive Diet Coke can feel. “Many of my clients who give it up realize just how hard it is to quit,” she says.

Tanya Freirich, a registered dietitian nutritionist based in Charlotte, North Carolina, adds that Diet Coke contains aspartame—an artificial sweetener linked to weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. “Aspartame has been labeled as ‘possibly carcinogenic’ by the World Health Organization,” she notes. “It may also negatively impact the gut microbiome.”

That said, regulatory agencies—including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—still consider aspartame safe for consumption. “Aspartame is one of the most studied food additives,” the FDA stated in 2023. “Our scientists do not have safety concerns when it's used under approved conditions.” Health authorities in Canada and Europe share that view.

Looking for a Healthier Swap? Try These Alternatives

If you're thinking about cutting back on Diet Coke, you're not alone—and there are plenty of healthier fizzy alternatives to explore.

“It may be tough to replicate the exact flavor and feel of Diet Coke,” Routhenstein admits, “but there are better options for your health.”

Here are a few expert-approved swaps:

Low-sugar kombucha: This fermented tea is rich in probiotics and supports gut health.
Sparkling water with citrus: Add a splash of lemon or lime to your fizzy water for a boost of vitamin C.
Sparkling green tea: You get the bubbles and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Unflavored seltzer or lightly sweetened drinks: A simple way to satisfy carbonation cravings without the additives.
Lightly sweetened tea or coffee: If you’re in it for the caffeine, try green tea or a bit of coffee. Both offer antioxidants and a gentle energy lift.

And of course, nothing beats the benefits of plain water. “Many of us could use more water in our day,” says Freirich. “It helps with energy, digestion, and even the health of your hair, skin, and nails.”

Obituary for Frank's dad, Francis

2025-05-30T03:00:00Z

Francis "Frank" Dean Mershon, 84, of West Terre Haute, died Sunday, May 25, 2025, at Harrison Crossing in Terre Haute, IN, after a long battle with Alzheimer's. He was born April 14, 1941, in West Terre Haute to John Mershon and Drusilla Worthington Mershon. He graduated from Concannon High School in 1959. After high school, Frank enlisted in the United States Air Force, and after an honorable discharge in 1965, he became a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 725. He was a member for 58 years, during which he served on the apprenticeship committee, a foreman, and as president of the union.

Frank is preceded in death by his beautiful wife of 52 years, Sandra Baxter Mershon, his parents, and his sister, Connie Mershon Shaker. Survivors include; children Leslie Mershon Ling and her husband Quenton, Frank Mershon and his wife Carmen, and Deana Mershon Conner; grandchildren, Reghan Wetzel Easterly and her husband Josh, Mason Wetzel and his wife Ashlynn, Cassidy Mershon and her husband Lewis, Laka Ling, Hayden Wetzel, Kayl Mershon, Ellie Conner, and Sophia Conner; great-grandchildren, Norah Easterly, Violet Easterly, and Banks Mershon Wearne; siblings, Susan Mershon Savant, and her husband Norman, Butch Mershon, and his wife Sue, and Ronny Shaker; and 8 nieces.

The Silent Spread: How Climate Change Is Fueling a Fungal Health Crisis

2025-05-29T17:30:00Z

The Silent Spread: How Climate Change Is Fueling a Fungal Health Crisis

We often think of fungi as the harmless mold on old bread or the mushrooms on our pizza. But the truth is, some fungi are quietly becoming one of the biggest emerging threats to global health—and climate change is giving them room to grow.

A new study from the University of Manchester has issued a stark warning: infection-causing fungi like Aspergillus are poised to expand into new territories as the planet heats up. And the world is largely unprepared.

Fungi are everywhere—literally. Found in soil, compost, and even water, these adaptable organisms play a crucial role in ecosystems. But some species can also wreak havoc on human health. Fungal infections are estimated to kill 2.5 million people each year, and that figure might be even higher due to underreporting.

Despite their deadly potential, fungi remain one of the least studied groups of pathogens. “Fungi are relatively under-researched compared to viruses and parasites,” said Norman van Rijn, a climate and infectious disease expert and one of the lead researchers of the study.

Using climate models and simulations, van Rijn’s team mapped the future spread of Aspergillus, a common genus of fungi responsible for aspergillosis—a serious disease that primarily affects the lungs. The findings are concerning.

Fungi on the Move

As temperatures rise, certain Aspergillus species are predicted to move into new regions, including parts of North America, Europe, China, and Russia. One species in particular, Aspergillus flavus, thrives in hot climates and could expand its range by 16% if fossil fuel emissions continue unchecked. This fungus doesn’t just infect humans—it also contaminates food crops, making it a double threat to both public health and food security.

Even more alarming is the projected 77.5% spread of Aspergillus fumigatus, a species that prefers milder climates. It could reach as far north as the Arctic Circle by 2100, potentially affecting millions more people in Europe and beyond.

The World Health Organization has already classified Aspergillus flavus as a critical fungal pathogen due to its growing resistance to treatment. With only four classes of antifungal drugs currently available, we’re running out of options.

Why This Matters

For most healthy people, inhaling fungal spores (which happens daily) isn’t a problem. Our immune systems clear them out without much fuss. But for those with weakened lungs or compromised immune systems—such as cancer patients, transplant recipients, and people recovering from severe flu or COVID-19—these spores can become deadly.

Van Rijn describes the infection process bluntly: if the spores aren’t cleared, the fungus begins to grow inside the body—essentially eating it from the inside out. Mortality rates for aspergillosis range from 20% to 40%, and diagnosing it can be tricky. Symptoms like fever and coughing are often mistaken for more common illnesses.

And it’s not just health that’s at risk. Fungi also support soil ecosystems, so their movement—or disappearance—can destabilize the environments we rely on for agriculture and biodiversity.

Climate Change Is Changing the Game

Rising temperatures aren’t just expanding fungi’s range. They may also be making fungi more heat-tolerant—better able to survive inside the human body. On top of that, extreme weather events like droughts, floods, and heatwaves can disperse fungal spores across vast distances. After the 2011 tornado in Joplin, Missouri, for example, a spike in fungal disease was observed.

Scientists say we need to take the threat seriously.

Elaine Bignell, co-director of the MRC Centre for Medical Mycology, calls the study a wake-up call. “It shines a light on how under-prepared we are for the rise of fungal diseases,” she said.

Data is another hurdle. Justin Remais, a public health researcher at UC Berkeley, is leading a study tracking over 100 million U.S. patients. His team found more than 20,000 cases of aspergillosis from 2013 to 2023—and the number is growing by 5% each year.

“We’re only beginning to understand how climate change is contributing,” Remais said.

Time to Pay Attention

Thanks to pop culture hits like HBO’s The Last of Us, there’s new interest in the idea of fungal pandemics. While the show is science fiction, the reality is serious: fungi are already killing millions each year, and their reach is only expanding.

Unlike bacteria and viruses, fungal infections don’t get nearly the same level of funding or awareness. That needs to change.

Because if there’s one thing this study makes clear, it’s that fungal pathogens are on the rise—and anyone could be affected in the future.

Lost Your Home in the Palisades or Eaton Fires? LA County Might Owe You Money

If your home was destroyed in the Palisades or Eaton wildfires earlier this year, Los Angeles County may owe you a tax refund—and it’s already sending out checks. But thousands are being returned as undeliverable.

Who qualifies for a wildfire tax refund?
The fires devastated more than 16,000 structures across the Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, and Altadena. In response, the LA County Assessor's Office reassessed the value of properties in the disaster zones. If your property value was reduced, you may be eligible for a tax refund.

How do I get my refund?
The County Auditor-Controller has mailed out thousands of checks. However, many are being returned because they were sent to damaged or destroyed properties—addresses where residents no longer live.

To ensure you receive your check, update your mailing address with the Assessor's Office as soon as possible by visiting:
assessor.lacounty.gov/homeowners/change-mailing-address

You can also apply for relief online at:
assessor.lacounty.gov

Pacific Coast Highway Reopens Just in Time for Memorial Day Weekend

2025-05-23T14:01:00Z

Pacific Coast Highway Reopens Just in Time for Memorial Day Weekend

After months of closure, a key stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) is finally reopening this Friday—perfect timing for Memorial Day weekend road trips!

The scenic 11-mile stretch, which connects Los Angeles to Malibu and coastal Ventura County, has been off-limits to most traffic since January. The road was heavily damaged by the Palisades Fire and follow-up mudslides, and only local residents, emergency workers, and essential crews were allowed through.

Thanks to a fast-tracked repair effort championed by Governor Gavin Newsom, the road is opening much earlier than expected. Newsom had made the reopening a priority, saying back in April, “We are going all-in to get this done.”

The state teamed up with Caltrans, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to get the job done quickly. Over 100 U.S. Army Corps crews have been working non-stop—clearing mud, removing debris, and tearing down unsafe structures. According to The Malibu Times, crews have been hauling away more than 1,200 truckloads of debris every single day using the PCH itself.

Starting Friday, drivers will be able to use two lanes in each direction. This is welcome news not just for travelers, but also for local businesses that have struggled to stay afloat without their usual flow of customers.

Local leaders are also making sure residents have a chance to voice any last-minute concerns. L.A. City Councilwoman Traci Park is holding a virtual town hall at 4 p.m. on Thursday to talk about the reopening and answer community questions.

Whether you're planning a beach day, a scenic drive, or just heading home, the newly reopened PCH is ready to roll.

Hitting the Road This Memorial Day? Here's What You Really Need to Know Before You Go

2025-05-22T16:28:00Z

Hitting the Road This Memorial Day? Here’s What You Really Need to Know Before You Go

Memorial Day weekend is almost here, and if you're planning to hit the road, you're not alone—not even close. A record-breaking 45 million Americans are expected to travel, and the vast majority—nearly 40 million of them—will be doing it by car.

That’s a whole lot of people in traffic, which means a whole lot of potential for headaches... especially the kind that come with a flat tire or a dead battery on the side of the highway.

Don't Let a Dead Battery Ruin Your Long Weekend

The American Automobile Association (AAA) is urging drivers to take just a few minutes before packing up the snacks and playlists to give their vehicles a quick checkup. Why? Because last year, AAA responded to more than 356,000 roadside emergencies over the Memorial Day weekend alone. Most of them were easily preventable issues like:

Flat tires
Dead batteries
Drivers locked out of their vehicles (yep, it happens more often than you think)

Quick Pre-Road Trip Checklist

Here’s what AAA recommends checking before you start your engine:

✅ Tire pressure and tread – Bald or underinflated tires are a recipe for trouble.
✅ Brakes – Squeaky or slow to respond? Get them checked.
✅ Battery – If it’s older than three years, consider having it tested.
✅ Wiper blades – If they streak, it’s time to swap them out.
✅ Fluids – Oil, coolant, windshield washer—top them all off.
✅ Emergency kit – Make sure it’s stocked with basics like water, jumper cables, flashlight, and a first-aid kit.

When and Where: The Busiest Days to Drive

The official travel period runs from Thursday, May 22 through Monday, May 26, and this year is on track to be the busiest Memorial Day travel weekend since 2005. So, if you're driving, be prepared for packed roads—especially Friday and Monday, when most people are heading out or coming home.

More Eyes on the Road (and on You)

Law enforcement is stepping up, too. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has announced a “maximum enforcement period” from Friday evening through late Monday night. Expect to see more officers on the highways, with a focus on:

🚫 Impaired driving
🚗 Reckless behavior
🔒 Seat belt enforcement

So buckle up, stay sober, and drive responsibly—it could save lives (and keep you from spending your holiday on the shoulder of the freeway).

Bottom line: A little prep goes a long way. With just a few quick checks, you can help ensure your Memorial Day weekend is full of sunshine, barbecues, and beach vibes—not roadside assistance calls.

Safe travels!

First-Ever Blood Test for Alzheimer's Gets the Green Light: What It Means for You and Your Loved Ones

2025-05-22T14:46:00Z

First-Ever Blood Test for Alzheimer’s Gets the Green Light: What It Means for You and Your Loved Ones

A major breakthrough in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease has just been approved—and it could change how the condition is diagnosed and treated across the U.S.

For the first time, health officials have endorsed a simple blood test that can help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. This is huge news for families, caregivers, and the more than 6 million Americans currently living with this heartbreaking condition.

Why This Test Matters

Until now, diagnosing Alzheimer’s involved a complicated process: brain scans, spinal taps, and hours of cognitive testing. But thanks to this new test developed by Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc., a simple blood sample may soon be enough to confirm signs of the disease.

The test works by detecting beta-amyloid, a sticky protein that builds up in the brain and is considered a key indicator of Alzheimer’s.

How Accurate Is It?

Dr. Rohit Marwara, a neurologist at the Detroit Medical Center, says the approval is “groundbreaking.”

He explained that in a major clinical study involving 499 people with memory problems, the blood test was highly accurate. In fact:

A positive result matched advanced scans and spinal fluid tests 90% of the time.
A negative result was correct 97% of the time.

Who Can Get the Test?

Right now, the test is only approved for:

Adults 55 and older
People already showing signs of memory or cognitive decline
Patients being seen in specialized memory clinics

This is not a test for healthy individuals or general screening. It must be ordered by a doctor, who will interpret the results along with other tests and your medical history.

What This Means for Treatment

Here’s the big deal: having a faster, less expensive way to confirm Alzheimer’s could lead to quicker access to new treatments.

Currently, two drugs—Leqembi and Kisunla—are available that target amyloid plaques and may slow the disease’s progression. But before patients can get them, insurers require proof of amyloid buildup in the brain. That’s where this blood test can make a real difference.

“Right now, insurers won’t pay for these medications without proof,” said Dr. Marwara. “A reliable blood test means patients can get diagnosed faster, skip costly scans, and start treatment sooner.”

The Bottom Line

This blood test isn’t a cure—but it’s a major step forward. It makes Alzheimer’s diagnosis easier, faster, and more affordable, and opens the door to earlier treatment.

As researchers continue working toward even better therapies, this test gives patients and families something they haven’t had in a long time: hope.

Could a Massive Earthquake and Tsunami Hit the Pacific Coast?

Could a Massive Earthquake and Tsunami Hit the Pacific Coast?

It’s been over 300 years since the last major earthquake hit the Cascadia subduction zone—an area off the coast of Northern California, Oregon, and Washington. History shows that these powerful quakes happen every 200 to 800 years, which means the region could be due for another one.

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences warns that a large earthquake here could quickly trigger a dangerous tsunami. When the last one hit in 1700, parts of the coastline dropped by several feet—and something similar could happen again.

What Is the Cascadia Subduction Zone?

Caption: In subduction zones, tectonic plates press together. When they snap, it causes earthquakes and sometimes tsunamis. Photo Credit USGS.gov.

The Cascadia zone is where two tectonic plates meet. Over time, they press against each other until one slips under the other, causing a massive earthquake. That sudden movement can also displace a huge amount of water, creating a tsunami.

Researchers say the danger doesn’t end with the shaking. In as little as 15 to 20 minutes, tsunami waves could hit the coast, with flooding continuing for up to two hours.

How Bad Could It Be?

If a major earthquake hits, it could cause the land to sink and flood coastal communities. Thousands of people and properties in Oregon, Washington, and Northern California could be affected. And with sea levels rising due to climate change, the damage could be even greater in the future.

No one knows exactly when it will happen—it could be tomorrow or hundreds of years from now. But knowing the risks can help us prepare.

Earthquake and Tsunami Preparedness Tips

Here’s how to prepare now, before the next big one hits:

Build an Emergency Kit

Include:

Water (1 gallon per person per day for at least 3 days)
Non-perishable food
Flashlight and batteries
First aid kit
Medications
Phone charger (portable or solar)
Important documents (copies in a waterproof folder)

Make a Family Plan

Choose a meeting spot outside your home
Know your local evacuation route—especially if you live in a tsunami zone
Practice "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" drills for earthquake safety
Teach kids how and when to call 911

Stay Informed

Sign up for emergency alerts through your local city or state website
Download apps like FEMA, Red Cross Emergency, or MyShake
Follow local emergency services on social media for real-time updates

Know the Signs of a Tsunami

Feel the ground shaking? Move inland immediately if you're near the coast.
Water suddenly receding from the shoreline? That’s a tsunami warning.
Don’t wait for an official alert—every minute counts.

While we can’t predict exactly when the next big quake will hit the Pacific Northwest, scientists agree it's a real possibility. Being informed and prepared can make all the difference.

Knowledge saves lives. Share this post with your friends and family—especially if they live near the coast!

Americans Are Comfortable Going Into Debt Buying Concert Tickets, Studies Find

2025-05-21T14:50:00Z

As fears of a recession continue to weigh on American consumers, one industry seems to be defying the economic downturn: live concerts and entertainment. While many sectors are grappling with financial uncertainty, the concert industry is seeing robust demand, with millions still eager to experience live performances, despite the rising costs.

Recent reports indicate that nearly 60% of Coachella attendees purchased tickets using payment plans. This trend highlights a growing willingness among consumers to take on debt to attend concerts and other live events. The demand for such experiences is so strong that even the increasing prices of tickets are not dissuading concertgoers.

In fact, the cost of attending a concert has surged in recent years. According to Pollstar, the average cost of a concert ticket in 2024 reached $135.92, marking a significant jump from previous years. Despite these higher costs, consumers are continuing to spend, with Billboard reporting that credit card holders averaged $300 per month on live events between May 2024 and April 2025. This figure points to an enduring appetite for live entertainment, even as broader economic pressures mount.

A particularly interesting trend is emerging among Gen Z concertgoers. According to a Cash App survey, over 2,000 American adults participated in a study conducted by The Harris Poll, which found that the younger generation is particularly eager to spend big on their favorite artists. On average, Gen Z concertgoers spent $2,100 on concert tickets over the past two years. Even more striking is the fact that 75% of them are willing to pay premium prices for resale tickets, a significant indication of their passion for live events.

However, the financial reality of this spending is not always aligned with their means. A notable 19% of Gen Z respondents admitted to spending more on concert tickets than they could actually afford. This willingness to overspend reflects a broader trend in which memorable experiences are prioritized over financial restraint.

Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, LMSW and Cash App’s Financial Therapist, weighed in on this behavior, noting, “Gen Z’s ‘do it for the plot’ approach to life may be eclipsing the Millennial YOLO when it comes to spending on music-centric experiences. While saving for a house might feel out of reach, a weekend festival is doable. I love that they’re spending in line with their values like community, experiences, and memory-making, but I always encourage topping off emergency savings while saving for epic shows.”

The juxtaposition between wanting to create lasting memories and financial responsibility creates an interesting tension for younger consumers. As Gen Z prioritizes experiences, it may also be shaping future financial habits, with many leaning into credit or payment plans to fund their passions. While their enthusiasm for live entertainment may continue to drive the sector forward, experts like Bryan-Podvin remind us that balancing those experiences with sound financial planning will be crucial as the economic landscape evolves.

In the face of economic anxiety, one thing is clear: live concerts and entertainment are thriving, and consumers are willing to go to great lengths to enjoy them. Whether it’s through payment plans, credit card debt, or paying for premium tickets, the desire to engage with music and live events remains a top priority for many—especially among Gen Z.

1980s Metalhead Kids Are Alright: Scientific Study Shows That They Became Well-Adjusted Adults

2025-05-21T14:37:00Z

In the 1980s, the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), co-founded by Tipper Gore and the wives of several influential Washington figures, launched a crusade against the pop music industry. Their goal? To impose warning labels on records that they believed glorified sex, violence, drug, and alcohol use. Along the way, the PMRC created “the Filthy Fifteen” — a list of 15 songs they deemed particularly objectionable. Among them were hits by Madonna, Prince, and Cyndi Lauper, but it was the heavy metal bands that caught the most heat. Groups like Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, W.A.S.P., Def Leppard, Black Sabbath, and Venom found themselves at the forefront of the PMRC’s ire.

Interestingly, a similar list was created by the Soviet Union at the time, blacklisting many of the same rock bands, highlighting the global tensions surrounding music and its cultural impact.

One of the most memorable moments in this campaign came in 1985, when Dee Snider of Twisted Sister testified before Congress to defend his band’s music. In his testimony, Snider accused the PMRC of misinterpreting his lyrics and falsely vilifying heavy metal as a corrupting influence. Fast forward 40 years, and recent studies suggest that Snider may have been right all along.

A groundbreaking study conducted by researchers from Humboldt State, Ohio State, UC Riverside, and UT Austin examined 377 individuals—heavy metal groupies, musicians, and fans—now in middle age. The study found that while metal enthusiasts led riskier lives as teenagers, they were, in fact, “significantly happier in their youth and better adjusted currently” compared to both their middle-aged peers and college-age comparison groups. This finding led the researchers to consider an intriguing conclusion: “participation in fringe style cultures may enhance identity development in troubled youth.” In other words, the rebellious spirit of heavy metal and its culture didn’t ruin lives but, rather, helped these young people form strong, unique identities.

Moreover, the study offered another counterpoint to the PMRC’s claims: heavy metal lyrics themselves were not responsible for turning kids into “damaged goods.” If anything, the connection to metal music seemed to foster resilience and well-being later in life.

As time has passed, it's become clear that the heavy metal community—often demonized in the '80s—had more to do with the development of a supportive subculture than with perpetuating violence or delinquency. The legacy of the PMRC’s crusade and the Filthy Fifteen may serve as a reminder of how cultural panics often misrepresent the true impact of art and music on young people.

Above, you can watch Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider appear before Congress in 1985 and accuse the PMRC of misinterpreting his band’s lyrics and waging a false war against metal music. The evidence 40 years later suggests that Snider perhaps had a point.

It’s a mash up of craziness and fun in the newly themed Boardwalk area with renovated attractions including enhanced bumper cars and games.

Among the park’s world-class roller coasters and thrill rides are Twisted Colossus, one of the world’s longest hybrid coaster; Full Throttle, the world’s tallest and fastest looping coaster; LEX LUTHOR: Drop of Doom, one of the world’s tallest vertical drop ride; Tatsu, the tallest, fastest and longest flying coaster on Earth; and much more.

HF 20 in 25 News: Tax Increases in LA County by Cities

2025-04-02T15:00:00Z

Beginning April 1, several cities across Southern California will see higher sales tax rates.

Most of the increases, particularly for cities in Los Angeles County, are the result of Measure A, the Los Angeles County Homelessness Services and AffordableHousing Ordinance, approved by voters in November 2024.

This measure imposes a countywide one-half percent (0.50%) sales tax on every $1 of goods sold in LA County.

It aims to support homeownership, provide rental assistance, and fund various services for vulnerable populations, including mental health and addiction treatment.

At the same time that voter-approved Measure A increases the sales tax in LA County, supervisors voted to create a regional department to coordinate homeless services.

Measure A replaces the Measure H countywide sales tax, resulting in a net increase of one-quarter percent (0.25%) on all taxable sales in Los Angeles County. That means the Measure A funds that would have gone to LA City's Homeless Services Agency—almost $350 million a year, close to half of their total budget—will be taken over by the county.

The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration has issued a Special Notice regarding the new tax rates, available on their website.

The sales tax increase will impact consumers and businesses in LA County, affecting the cost of goods and services.

Periodic Cooking the Perfect Egg

2025-03-12T16:15:00Z

Periodic cooking is a method of cooking eggs by alternating between boiling and cold water. The technique is designed to cook the egg yolk and white evenly, resulting in a unique texture.

How it works

Place an egg in a pot of boiling water
After two minutes, transfer the egg to a bowl of lukewarm water
Repeat the alternating process every two minutes for a total of 32 minutes

Benefits

Cooks both the yolk and white evenly

Preserves bioactive compounds like polyphenols and amino acids

Avoids the need to cook the yolk and white separately

Results in a yolk that's just-gelled and a white that's set but not gummy

Other considerations

Periodic cooking takes longer than soft or hard boiling, but is faster than sous vide

The method was developed using mathematical modeling, simulations, and advanced characterization techniques

The method was tested in real life and the cooked eggs were analyzed for texture, sensory qualities, and chemical properties

Super Bowl Commercials

2025-02-05T14:00:00Z

Fox is charging upwards of $7 million for a 30-second Super Bowl ad. And as usual, companies are trying to make it count by loading their commercials with celebrities.

Here are some previews of what we're going to see:

1. Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt will be in an ad promoting Meta's Ray Ban glasses that allow you to take photos and video, listen to music, and take calls. (Check out previews from Pratt and Hemsworth.)

2. Doja Cat is already trying to photobomb her way into this year's Taco Bell ad, despite their no-celebrity rule.

3. Post Malone and comedian Shane Gillis want to make "C'mon!" the new "Whazzuuup" in this year's Bud Light ad.

4. Stella Artois is building up to the reveal of David Beckham's long-lost twin brother, whom his parents named "Other David".

5. Drew Barrymore serenades Orlando Bloom. . . poorly . . . for MSC Cruises.

6. Check out the Budweiser Super Bowl ad. And here's a preview for the Uber Eats ad starring Charli XCX and Martha Stewart. Matthew McConaughey will be in the ad, too.

7. Coors Light decided to forego celebrities in favor of SLOTHS. And frankly, I really wish I hadn't seen this one until the game, because everything from the concept to the execution is an A+.

8. You can't be fast OR furious when you're enjoying Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Just ask Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Ludacris.

9. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft produced a powerful ad through his Foundation to Combat Antisemitism. It stars Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady.

10. Kris Jenner scolds Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt in Meta's commercial for its new AI glasses.

11. Uber Eats is pulling out all the stops this week. Their ad stars Matthew McConaughey, and features guest appearances by Kevin Bacon, Martha Stewart, Charli XCX, "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans, and Greta Gerwig.

12. Barry Keoghan teams up with a donkey in this year's Squarespace ad. No, it's not the same donkey from "The Banshees of Inisherin".

13. Stella Artois teased that David Beckham was going to find his long-lost brother in their ad. And yesterday we found out it's Matt Damon. The spot was directed by Ben Affleck.

14. Frank's Red Hot did a commercial this year, and they put Paris Hilton in it.

15. Mountain Dew turned Seal into an ACTUAL seal. Seems obvious now that someone's finally done it. Becky G is in the ad, too.

16. What's weirder than Seal as a seal? How about Shania Twain as a singing tongue in this year's Coffee-Mate ad.

17. Wayne Brady is going to WING IT during the Super Bowl for Perdue Chicken. He's doing a series of live performances on Instagram during the game, based on viewer suggestions.

18. Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson from "I Think You Should Leave" and "The Detroiters" say goodbye to their alien friend Chazmo in an ad for Totino's Pizza Rolls.

19. Channing Tatum returns to his "Magic Mike" roots for Stok Cold Brew Coffee.

The Most Popular Super Bowl Foods By State with Map

2025-01-28T19:36:00Z

The Super Bowl is more than the championship game for professional football teams in the U.S. Super Bowl Sunday is the country’s ”second-largest food consumption day” (right after Thanksgiving), according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But which foods and desserts do Americans love most for the event? Coffeeness shares the answers in the maps below.

Because Coffeeness gathered information from each state, you can see which foods and desserts are most-liked throughout the country. The map of savory foods is below.

“BARBERSHOP” - CRASHER: Zach S.

Zach Shenouda and Ryan Robinson grew up in Orange County, CA, and met as sophomores in high school, bonding over their love of making movies. From writing and directing short films together to both getting into USC’s film program, the directing duo would continue to find their creative voice and style. Now in their senior year of college, they still love to create fun, energetic films with big dreams for the future. They aim to make commercials and feature films that entertain, make people laugh, and, just maybe, earn their moms’ stamp of approval.

“CHARADES” - CRASHER: Mark B.

Mark Blitch lives in Wylie, TX, with his wife of 19 years, Hanna, and their two boys, one of whom is featured in his Doritos Crash the Super Bowl entry, Charades. He has worked for a non-profit video production company in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex for almost 20 years. He loves making short films with his friends and hopes to one day direct a feature film.

“ABDUCTION” - CRASHER: Dylan B.

Dylan Bradshaw and Nate Norell are best friends and co-directors whose shared passion for storytelling has taken them from humble beginnings to working with some of the world’s most renowned figures and brands. Dylan, a Los Angeles-based director originally from Columbus, Ohio, moved to LA in 2020 with no job but a dream. Nate, born in the Dominican Republic, discovered his love for filmmaking at 16 and earned a Cinema and Media Arts degree from Biola University. Together, Dylan and Nathanael hope to inspire others to take control of their own paths, create their own opportunities, and shape their lives through passion, positivity, and perseverance.
