Wow..this kind of has to be weird. 'SNL' alum Chris Redd is dating Christina Evangeline, the ex-wife of his former costar and pal Kenan Thompson ... but TMZ learned there's no bad blood flowing between the guys.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Christina and Chris became official within the past year, and there was no overlap or cheating when it happened.
Kenan and Christina were living separate lives, and intending to divorce since 2019.
Chris -- who also costarred on Kenan's NBC sitcom -- and Christina have known each other for the past 6 years, with things staying very respectful between them.
We're told Kenan's aware of his ex's romance with Chris and has no hard feelings -- he's apparently moved on and is happily dating other people.
As we reported, Kenan and Christina decided to end their 11-year marriage earlier this year ... with the actor filing in May to make the split official.

It was kind of abrupt when the season changed. Fall is here and USATODAY says there are some things to clean before the cold weather comes.
Clean your grill, and the outdoor cushions. If you have a chimney...clean it!
Vacuum your refrigerator coils, and replace your furnace filter!

A woman in Pennsylvania went on Twitter and asked what folder COLORS you'd assign to each class, if the subjects were Math, Science, English, and History . . . and the colors were blue, red, yellow, and green.
It became a sensation, with over 10,000 likes and responses.
The most popular responses seemed to be: Math is red . . . Science is green . . . English is blue . . . and History is yellow. But there was no consensus. Here are some amusing responses:
1. "Science is green because of plants . . . history is red because of wars . . . English is blue because some stories make you sad . . . math is yellow because that's what is left."
2. "[I'd] actually do them by period, in [rainbow] spectrum order: 1st period red, 2nd period yellow, 3rd period green, 4th period blue."
3. "Math - yellow, Science - blue, English - green, History - red . . . my answers are 'Star Trek' uniform informed."
4. Some guy tried to connect it to "Trivial Pursuit", but there isn't a math.

House of the Dragons is a great prequel to Game of Thrones!!! What would a real dragon smell like?
Here are some of their theories:
1. Space: This one depends on what kind of altitude your dragon gets. Ozone has a smell that's been described as either burnt electricity or chlorine, depending on who you ask.
Outer space also has a smell. Various astronauts have described it as gunpowder, burnt cookies, raspberries, and rum.
2. Dinosaurs: Seems like dragons and dinosaurs are at least somewhat related, right? Well, a T-Rex's breath would have likely smelled like rotting flesh.
As far as its waste, researchers seem to think T-Rex poop would smell like that of a hyena, since they both eat animal bones along with the flesh.
3. Bats: The connection here is that both have leathery wings. And the aroma most closely associated with bats is urine. Males rub it on their bodies to attract mates.
But there are other species that reportedly smell like burnt oranges, fungus, or corn tortillas.
4. Komodo Dragons: Probably the closest living thing to a mythical dragon. They don't really have a smell that we can detect.
5. Barbecue: Dragons have the ability to cook their food before eating it. And we all know how that grill smell sticks to you.

According to some tech experts from ZDnet, charging your phone overnight is bad for your battery to charge your phone all night.
Even though modern phones charge in a "smart" way, they're still keeping the battery warmer than room temperature through the night. Which is bad for the battery over time.
So instead, here's how they say you should charge your phone on an average day to max out your battery's life:
Charge it for about 30 to 45 minutes in the morning when you wake up.
Then charge it for another 30 minutes in the mid-afternoon to get it around 80%.
That way your phone is spending less than two hours a day on chargers . . . a lot less time than if you charge it overnight.
