I was cleaning up some leaves and sticks in the yard and did the "The humidity could be worse" shrug.

The only thing I know about Happy Gilmore 2 is from a Replacements group. There's a Replacements song in there, and I'm guaranteed to see new group posts about this for the next 6-12 months.

Not only is Stephen Colbert leaving at the end of the 2025-2026 season, but CBS is ending The Late Show entirely.

Good to know. One of those apps I think a boot trying.

Grace is a somewhat frequent comedy podcast guest and always a good one. The show(s) sound really great.

They fired the people answering calls for help. Hundreds of them. During the crisis.

He had six months to live. Then came an experimental cancer treatment launched by Harvard researchers. - The Boston Globe The hunt for a medical breakthrough has been caught up in the Trump administration's political assault on the university.

Harvard scientists paved the way for a pioneering cancer immunotherapy that has added years to patients' lives.

Now their work is under an all-out assault, after the Trump administration cut nearly $3 billion in research funding to Harvard.

Nelson & western Albemarle Counties: now under a *flash flood warning*. This thunderstorm is barely moving and I expect not only torrential rain but flash flooding very, very shortly. Affected: Crozet, Greenwood, Yancey Mills, anyone along US 250 to Afton.

Move to higher ground IMMEDIATELY.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

When I met Ryan Coogler several years ago, we were standing in a group of people chatting, when a woman with visible hearing aids walked up, and he casually began to sign the whole conversation so she could participate. She mouthed “thank you”. He nodded and just kept doing his thing.

A couple years ago my 8-year old daughter came home from school trying to remember the name of Apollo 13 after hearing about it at school.

Her first watch she was full of questions as the movie played. Really fun and random watch with her. Unexpected movie request turned repeat viewing.

My favourite Brian Wilson story was when Bono kneeled at his feet backstage & waxed lyrical about his influence, the power of music, transcendent, etc.
After several minutes of this he interrupted Bono by saying “Say, could you go get me a Coke?”
(In fairness, he apparently did)

The first version is supposed to be bad. The second one too. But by version twelve? Still bad, but now it’s intentional. 😂🖌️
