If a service dog ever comes up to you without its owner, follow it. Service dogs are trained to search out help for their owners as a last ditch effort.

Now they always say congratulations, especially when you become a dad. Post Malone has welcomed his first child, and he shared the news not via some official announcement, but a casual reference to his newborn daughter on The Howard Stern Show. During the interview, Malone recalled he woke up yesterday and "kissed my baby girl" ... to which a confused Howard Stern asked, "Baby girl — you're referring to your girlfriend?" But no, Malone clarified he meant "my daughter," which Stern noted is how we're learning for the first time he has a child.
The rapper previously revealed his girlfriend — whose name still isn't known — was pregnant, but he never made an announcement when she gave birth. Malone wasn't done dropping major life announcements like they were nothing, though, as he also revealed he's getting married. "She's my fiancée,"

During a Q&A at a screening of her All Too Well short film, Taylor Swift revealed she "would love" to direct a movie. "It would be so fantastic to write and direct a feature," she said.
Swift directed the All Too Well short starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien, and she also got behind the camera for her "The Man" music video. During the Q&A, Swift recalled she only directed the latter because "all of my favorite female directors were booked," but she ended up finding the experience "incredibly fulfilling." She didn't get into what kind of movie she'd want to make, but she imagines it wouldn't be much "bigger in terms of scale" than the All Too Well short. If you thought Marvel movies have a lot of Easter eggs, you haven't seen anything yet.

A guy in San Diego named Jon DeMaria built a remote-control air horn to blast every time his neighbor's dog barks. He calls it the "Dog Zapper 2000".
He posted a video on TikTok to show how it works. He said the dog constantly barks at him, or any little sound. So he decided to give it a taste of its own medicine.
Some people think it's genius, and he's had lots of requests to start selling them. But others say it's the owner's fault for leaving it outside all day, and he shouldn't be punishing the dog for it.
It's not clear if the air horn has made a difference or not. But it sounds like it at least worked in a roundabout way. Once he started using the horn, the dog's owner talked to him about it.
Since then, he's been able to meet the dog, whose name is Zoe. So now they're friends, and hopefully she won't bark at him so much.

Someone at Nabisco must have realized these two things are the same shape and size, so why not? But does this sound good to you?
A new mash-up of Ritz crackers and Oreo cookies will go on sale tomorrow. They're actually giving them away, but you have to pay $4 shipping. One half is an Oreo cookie with cream, and the other half is a Ritz cracker with peanut butter. So it's like shoving an Oreo and Ritz Bitz in your mouth at the same time.
Starting tomorrow at noon eastern, you can try to snag a box at Oreo.com/Ritz. But act fast. Once they sell out, that's it. It doesn't sound like they'll be in stores anytime soon.
