Serrao said in a post shared widely on social media that when he dug into his dessert, he felt something unusual in his mouth and spat out what appeared to be a portion of a human finger about an inch long. He shared a video that he said showed the alleged body part sticking out of his melting cone.
Seth Myers was being interviewed and mentioned how he doesn’t like having a December 28 birthday. He referred to that week between Christmas and New Year’s Day as “holiday taint.”
Each member, according to the company, will have a team of coaches. These coaches will guide members through three 60-minute training sessions per week, two nutrition coaching sessions per month, two sleep coaching sessions per month — and one massage therapy session per month. Experts will use more than 100 biomarkers to assess hormone balance, critical nutrients, metabolic condition, organ health and other risk factors. Also, lab tests will be performed every six months to track changes and improvements.
This Dallas Morning News article about tennis and pickle ball players fighting over real estate at a park was more entertaining and informative than I thought.
Players rotate in by putting their paddles in a rack and watching for their turn. Socializing during the wait is part of the fun — up to a point. As many as 100 players flock to Cole on weekend mornings and after work. The wait can be 45 minutes to an hour for one quick game.
Wells Fargo, in a new disclosure with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, first reported by Bloomberg, had terminated over a dozen employees in its wealth- and investment-management unit for their use of mouse jigglers. They were “discharged after review of allegations involving simulation of keyboard activity creating the impression of active work,” according to the disclosures. On Amazon, some of the top-ranking mouse jigglers sold have thousands of reviews and range in price between $6 and $25.

I was shocked to learn that our nation’s first Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, died by suicide from fatal injuries sustained after falling out of a sixteenth-floor window at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
I never thought I’d be that person who found out he was subscribed to a service and did not know about it for months, maybe even years, and not notice it. But here I am eating some humble pie. One of the kids subscribed to Amazon Music, and I never looked at my account statements or history closely enough. Well, at least I caught it now and not later.
So, an iPhone user will be able to access ChatGPT right from Siri. I’m a big fan of ChatGPT and use it almost daily, and when I do, it’s usually for a good length of time. I wonder if this is the thing that finally converts me to owning an iPhone.
It’s funny. Throughout high school and most of college, I was a loyal Mac user, much to the chagrin of my computer expert and Windows-using brother. It was a real challenge owning one or the other back then. For one, it was a big cost decision, and I’d argue a decent computer at that time would have cost around $1400. However, the big obstacle, unlike today, was that commonly used files like Word or PowerPoint (PDFs weren’t even a thing) weren’t cross-platform. What I mean by that is that if you created a Word file on a Mac, you couldn’t open it on your PC, or vice-versa. There were some instances where special programs would do that, but it was in its early stages, and you were taking the risk of losing a lot of work or only a portion of your work correctly crossing over. Once the internet became popular and your most well-used software started to work on both Windows and Mac (iOS wasn’t even a thing), that’s when sales and the adoption of Apple computers really took off. All of this started when Steve Jobs took over the reins of Apple in 1997. All that to say, if I had stayed loyal for maybe three or four more years, I don’t think I would have ever dabbled into anything Windows or Android-related. As of now, I feel so set in my ways that I don’t think I’ll ever buy an iPhone or a Mac. However, this collaboration with ChatGPT could change that.
If the Mavs don’t win tonight, they are toast. I’m actually going to be watching the game with a lovely lady I’ve been chatting with. We’re making it our first date. It’s crazy the stuff we have in common. Even our unusual professional careers have taken the same path.
I’ve looked at many sources for this story. They all imply the dog did something specific to alert other humans. All the dog did was run back home, and people noticed he was injured. I wish there was more to it than that, but that’s basically it. This isn’t a Lassie movie. Speaking of Lassie, I was more of a Benji person.

Who was the first (true or most recognized) King of England? I never considered this until I watched a random YouTube video yesterday. What I found most peculiar was that he never married and had no children. His half-brother succeeded him. Oh, the first King of England’s name was Æthelstan or Athelstan.
Whatever happened to Marissa Mayer? Remember her? She was the young woman man expected to turn Yahoo! around after having a great career at Google. She was Google’s first female engineer and 20th employee. Answer: She is now the co-founder and CEO of Sunshine, which uses AI to automate everyday tasks with a focus on photo and event sharing. Shine launched in March 2024.
Sometimes, I imagine what it would be like to throw a lavish dinner party with living people I’m highly interested in. These aren’t people I necessarily like or admire, but for some reason, I find them fascinating or think a conversation with them would be enlightening or highly entertaining. Your list, as it should, would be much different from mine. I added two more to my unofficial list yesterday: Bob Ballard and James Cameron. Other random people on my list are Bono, David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Scott Pelley, Neil deGrass Tyson, Bill Clinton, and Stephen Colbert. Tony Robbins and Rev. Adam Hamilton are a maybe. I’m a little disappointed I don’t have any women on the list. I also have a list of non-living people I’d like to have a separate lavish dinner with, as well as one with fictional characters.
It’s nice to read that he’s softened up over the years. Hopefully, the mother of his son will never do anything to keep a father and son apart. As Tony has told me, it hurts finding what you feel is your purpose in life only to have your most trusted ally keep you from fulfilling it all because of vindication.
In 1994, Nike started a string of commercials with Steve Martin about a player named Johnny Kilroy, who suspiciously played like Michael Jordan wearing a disguise. I really got a kick out of them, and I thought it was so cool that Michael Irvin even made an appearance. Does anyone remember the “popcorn tape” that was like the Zapruder film? I recently found all those commercials, and you can watch them here. I remember telling my dad I thought that was a cool name. He then informed me how it was a real popular thing in WWII. It was probably the most well-known meme of the war before there were even memes. Oh, Upper Deck even made a Kilroy basketball card.
Apparently, a certain group of protestors are projecting certain messages on churches. Bold move.
