Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter has died at 96. She passed peacefully at home with her family by her side.
The news comes just a couple of days after Rosalynn entered hospice care -- which her husband had actually entered as well earlier this year. She'd also recently been diagnosed with dementia.
She and Jimmy were the longest married presidential couple in U.S. history.
Truly a class act and she did so much work in the mental health world.

Pedro Pascal is in talks to play Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic, in Marvel's reboot of "Fantastic Four," according to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter. It's a key role for the future of the MCU, and the news comes after years of rampant casting speculation. "Fantastic Four" is highly anticipated because it will be Marvel Studios' first take on the iconic characters, who were previously owned by Fox prior to Disney’s acquisition of the company. Fans had long suggested John Krasinski for the role, and Krasinski even appeared as a version of Reed Richards from another universe in last year's "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," implying he might get the part permanently.

DiGiorno is selling a Thanksgiving Pizza, which features: Turkey, gravy sauce, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberries, mozzarella, cheddar, and some kind of "crispy onion topping." All that is piled on a thick "Detroit-style crust."
The pizzas are not in stores. You'll have to order them online. DiGiorno has been releasing a "limited" number of them every Wednesday, and this week is the last time. Each one will cost $11.23. (thanksgiving is on 11/23?)

Someone just asked the Internet, "What things get you really annoyed to re-purchase or replace?" and the responses fit into five categories:
1. Recurring purchases that can really add up. Things like gas, printer ink, subscription streaming services, Botox, and even "food."
2. Stuff that isn't made to last and needs upgrading. Things like: Certain appliances, a lot of technology, plastic goods, and fast-fashion.
3. There's also the stuff that people are probably too rough with, and don't take care of like they could including cell phones, shoes, jeans, and vehicles. Plus stuff that people are always losing, like tools and scissors.
4. Normal, relatable gripes. Like having to repeatedly buy: Cat litter, phone chargers, sunglasses, shower curtains, and nonstick pans.
5. And then there's the weird stuff, that makes you wonder what people are thinking. Some of those answers include: Can openers, toilet seats, and undergarments, which you probably should replace semi-regularly.
