Thursday was the opening day of Major League Baseball, and if you're wanting to follow the worst team....try the Chicago White Sox (sorry dad.)
Last year they lost 121 of 161. and according to the prediction models on Polymarket, a White Sox championship this year is even less likely than . . . the second coming of Jesus in 2025.
They have the chances of Jesus showing up this year at 3%, compared to the White Sox's title chances at 1%.
To be fair, the White Sox did win yesterday over Los Angeles Angels yesterday.

"Huff Post" just did a big story on "FLOODLIGHTING" . . . when you expose way too much about yourself way too soon.
Author Brené Brown coined it in 2012 and said it was something to AVOID. Quote, "A lot of times, we share too much information as a way to protect us from vulnerability."
But recently, people have been doing it on purpose as a way to fast-track a relationship, or see if the person is mature enough to "handle" them.
You might be on a date and say, "I'm an only child . . . hate my dad . . . I'm on a cleanse . . . have a ton of debt . . . and technically, I'm banned from Walmart. Can you handle that?"
You shouldn't do it because you'll scare them off. But it's also just not fair to dump so much on someone you haven't formed a real connection with yet.
One expert said it's good to be open and honest about yourself, but phrased it like this: "There's a difference between organically engaging . . . and immediately WATERBOARDING a date with [your] deepest traumas."

Believe it or not, there have been 87 days in 2025 so far, with roughly 62 workdays. How many days do you have to work before you "need" a vacation? And come on, you can't just say one.
According to a new survey, these are the "top signs people need a vacation" . . .
1. Feeling burnt out.
2. Daydreaming about a trip.
3. Getting irritated with others. (but isn't that everyday?)
4. Feeling fatigued no matter how much you sleep.
5. Having low energy, even on weekends.
6. Feeling brain fog.
7. Completely forgetting tasks.
8. Misplacing items.
9. Making mistakes at work.
10. Checking emails even when you're off the clock.
If that isn't relatable enough, the survey also has a list of the 10 "most forgotten items when packing for a trip."
The most common response was: Phone charger.
Toothbrush and toothpaste is second, followed by headphones / earbuds . . . sunglasses . . . sunscreen . . . body care products . . . power adapter . . . hairbrush . . . skincare products . . . and hand sanitizer.

Imagine the world’s oceans with their beautiful blue color. Now, imagine those same oceans appearing green.
This intriguing possibility is suggested by new research from Nagoya University in Japan. A team led by Taro Matsuo has found evidence that cyanobacteria, key players in the evolutionary process, once thrived in green seas.
The study sheds light on life during the Great Oxidation Event, a pivotal time roughly 2.4 billion years ago when cyanobacteria began performing oxygenic photosynthesis. By harnessing sunlight to produce oxygen, these microorganisms initiated a dramatic shift in Earth’s atmosphere, ultimately enabling the development of oxygen-dependent life forms.

The Sharktopus is real!!!!
Not like in a bad Sci-Fi movie, but in the ocean! First spotted in New Zealand waters in 2023, it's a normal octopus hitching a ride on the back of a very real shark.
How these two managed to cross paths, then, is anyone's guess, as octopi reside near the bottom of the ocean and sharks closer to the top.
Sharks can swim up to 45 MPH. That must have been a wild ride!

OpenAI added temporary limits to how many A.I.-generated images people can make. So many of us are doing it now, it's taxing their processors. Co-founder Sam Altman announced it and said, "Our GPUs are melting."

A plumbing company in Indiana is in the news after a customer didn't pay . . . so they went back and RE-CLOGGED their pipe.
Thai Bistro & Bar is in Evansville, Indiana, right on the Kentucky border. Their grease trap was overflowing, so they hired a company called Heavrin Plumbing to deal with it.
They cleared the clog, charged $235, and the restaurant paid. But then the pipe got clogged again three days later.
The plumber came back and cleared the pipe a second time. But they charged them AGAIN, and even more than the first time.
They charged $390 because it was an emergency and not during normal hours. But the restaurant refused to pay, saying they should stand behind their work.
They were shocked when the plumber came back the next day and re-clogged it. He accessed the pipe from outside and installed a balloon, so it couldn't drain.
The owner of the plumbing company claims the restaurant has a history of being slow to pay bills. So he wouldn't remove the balloon until they paid him.
Their kitchen would have overflowed, so they had no choice and coughed up the money. They filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Netflix has been developing a live action Scooby-Doo series for about a year already, and they're calling it a "modern re-imagining."
Here's the premise . . . quote, "During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder.
"Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets."
There's no word yet when we'll get to see it, but those kids will be meddling!!!
