One of my most supportive friends sent me a text that he lost his father to cancer over the weekend. I shared his text with other friends from our childhood, two of whom are pastors. One of them, who knows what it’s like to lose a parent, simply replied with, “Bummer.” I hate to sound judgmental, but he should be better than that. Talk about being disappointed, especially someone in the ministry. That will make me think twice before I share anything, especially anything emotional, with him.
At first, I thought each example was an exaggeration, but every one of them was followed by actual footage.
The Oscars are this Sunday. I may be the only person in America that thinks One Battle After Another wasn’t all that great.
The Federal Aviation Administration selected the Texas Department of Transportation this week for one of eight pilot projects nationally for regional flights linking Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio using electric aircraft that can take off or land vertically.
In the summer of 2022, Anderson Cooper did a60 Minutes story about the future of eVTOLs. One of the companies was Joby Aviation. At the time, I saw that its stock price was a little over five bucks a share, so I decided to invest. Today, it’s trading around $9.75. But if I had been keeping an eye on it, I should have sold it when it was over $18 a share last summer.
Most job recruiters who reach out to me offer something with either no or very limited benefits; healthcare and paid-time-off aren’t even an option.
An underground pipe rose more than 32 feet out of a street in a busy area of Osaka, nearly reaching an elevated road above.
When was the last time you made butter and ran simultaneously? This is the question Libby Cope, 30, an Oregon-based outdoor and running content creator, asks in a video that has racked up more than 2 million views on TikTok and nearly 10 million on Instagram.
She and her boyfriend, Jacob Arnold, 30, a sterile processing tech at a hospital and an avid runner and biker, do just that: they pour heavy cream and salt into double-bagged Ziplocs and secure the squishy bags of dairy inside their matching running vests before setting off on a trail run. At the end, they spread their creation on sandwich bread and dig in.
Summer Williams of my hometown of Mineral Wells, TX, set the fastest breakaway roping time at the 2026 Houston Rodeo. I like how the announcer said, “There really is something in the water in Mineral Wells.”

Congress needs to get a better hold of what constitutes a war. Technically, only Congress can declare war. Currently, the president and other representatives refer to the ongoing conflict with Iran as a war. And when the Commander in Chief states the only end to this is with Iran’s unconditional surrender, it sure seems like a war. I’m not saying I’m opposed to military intervention, but some things need ironing out.
I’ve been following this story about a secret weapon that causes severe vertigo and lasting brain injury since it was first reported nine years ago, with Cuba using it on the US Embassy. 60 Minutes had a major update on the story. It appears our government now has obtained a copy of the weapon. It is small, designed to be concealed, silent, doesn’t emit heat, can be operated by remote control (with a beam range of several hundred feet), and can penetrate windows and drywall.
Three sources tell 60 Minutes that undercover agents purchased a miniaturized microwave weapon from a Russian criminal network. Secret U.S. military lab testing of the device on rats and sheep has resulted in symptoms similar to Havana Syndrome, a confidential source says.… pic.twitter.com/sUPucTIWXt
It’s one thing for members of the military to wear a hat as it’s part of their uniform, but can you take off the very informal ball cap?
This comeback and performance last week by this one young lady was amazing. Too bad they lost their next game, which was for the championship.

This reminds me of the time I was flying back from Las Vegas and randomly got upgraded to first class. I decided to open my laptop and listen to a concert DVD. My headphones were plugged in, but for some reason, I could barely hear the music, so I kept turning it up. Perplexed, I tried to troubleshoot it, unaware that the audio was coming from the speakers rather than the headphones. A woman sitting at the front of the economy section tapped my shoulder and loudly yelled, “Use your headphones!” Realizing what was going on, I tried to immediately apologize and state I wasn’t aware my headphones weren’t working, and I didn’t mean to be a nuisance, but before I could get four words out of my mouth, her retort was “First class passengers are elite f–cks! They think the world revolves around them, I ain’t having it!”

Rocky lost more than 20 pounds while he was missing before finally returning home.
I saw this last night and thought it was fake, until I triple-checked it by going to the source. It’s strange, sloppy, undignified, and unprofessional.

“Campaigning in Waco, Texas, on the day of the primary election, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was asked by KWTX about her colorful red jacket. “I’m taking the color red back,” Crockett joked before explaining her jacket is paying tribute to dearly departed Congressman Barbara Jordan.”
