There's a new poll out on America's favorite MONTHS, and our least favorite . . . by far . . . are January and February. November also doesn't get much love.
The other main winter month, December, is divisive . . . because of the holidays. 40% of people say they LOVE December, which was more than any other month, but 7% HATE it, and another 14% dislike it.
If you include all positive feelings . . . loving and liking . . . April is our favorite month. May and October are also well-liked. It seems like people appreciate milder weather, AND the months that start new seasons.
The only non-winter month that people are a little sour on is August . . . maybe it's the going back to school thing, or maybe it's just getting tired of summer heat. But that's nit-picky . . . August is still loved or liked by 74% of people.

Once the Wall Street Journal broke the news over the weekend that the Energy Department believes a lab leak may have started the Covid-19 pandemic, online mentions started soaring. References to the popular online theory jumped 100,000% in 48 hours. The intel community is far from a consensus with many experts supporting the theory that the coronavirus emerged from a market in Wuhan.
Can we worry more about how to stop it?? I guess if we know we can keep others from happening..so...proceed.

We've got March 3! We've got March 17! We've got March 31! Of course, over the full year it all squares, but when you see that bump in your bank account this month you could go blow it all … or do something more useful.

Ed Sheeran is working on another project, and it's coming May 5th. His fifth album, continuing the math equations is called Subtract.
He made the announcement in a Twitter post and also revealed that he'd been working on the album for the better part of a decade. He told fans that writing music was his therapy before revealing that his wife had been diagnosed with a tumor that would not be operated on until after the couple's daughter had been born. "I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air," he wrote.

Speaking to Esquire, Chris Pine broke down that infamous video from Don't Worry Darling's Venice Film Festival premiere, where it looked like Harry Styles leaned over and spit on him.
"Harry did not spit on me," Pine clarified while acknowledging it looks that way. Instead, Pine said Styles, a "very kind guy," leaned over and said, "It's just words, isn't it?", which was apparently a "little joke" about the cast being so jet-lagged at the premiere that it was difficult to answer questions about the movie.
