SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Going vegan for just 4 weeks may slow your biological aging. In a study of 48 healthy adults, people following a vegan diet developed changes in DNA methylation. That’s a process that helps control gene activity which is associated with healthier immune function, less inflammation and improved metabolic pathways. Two biological “clocks” also suggested slower aging during the month-long experiment. However, the study was small and short, so researchers say it’s too early to know whether these changes actually lead to longer lives or lower disease risk.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Nicholas Hoult is still in his villain era. The “Superman” star has been tapped as a high-profile cast addition to the upcoming second season of HBO‘s “Harry Potter” series. He’ll play ‘Gilderoy Lockhart’, a major character in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, who was portrayed in the second movie by Kenneth Branagh. Season 2 of Harry Potter will begin filming this fall, ahead of the Christmas premiere of Season 1, titled “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”. It’ll air on HBO and HBO Max.
Hugh Jackman showed up on screen at Disney’s D23 event to ask for a part as ‘Wolverine’ in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” film. The clip saw Jackman, who is currently not mentioned in the film’s cast, egged on by ‘Deadpool’ actor Ryan Reynolds – who is also yet to be confirmed in the film. Speaking at the Disney fan event, Jackman told Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige: “I just wanted to check in totally unprompted, just wondering if you might need some help rounding out the cast?” His comments came as a new trailer for the film was released, showing Robert Downey Jr as ‘Doctor Doom’.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Many people assume that they are born either left-handed or right-handed. While you do have a biological preference for using one side of your body (About 90% of people are right-handed), new research shows your dominant hand’s better skills at tasks like writing were developed because you use it more, not simply because your brain has wired it to be better. The good news? Your “bad” hand can improve with training.
Jinny
Lu, a 6-year-old rescue pug from California, has been crowned the
2026 “World’s Ugliest Dog.” She beat 8 other contestants in the
annual Sonoma-Marin Agricultural Association competition, earning
$5,000, a trophy and the honor of appearing on limited-edition Mug
Root Beer cans. It was Jinny Lu’s 4th attempt at the title. Rescued
from a shack in the mountains of South Korea, she has since become a
playful, affectionate companion who visits schools and care
facilities as an ambassador for rescue dogs. The quirky contest
celebrates dogs that may be overlooked because of their appearance
while promoting adoption and reminding people that every dog deserves
a loving home.

WEIRD NEWS
In Memphis, Tennessee, Darnell “Lil Peanut” Parker allegedly tried to rob a Dollar General, but the plan fell apart almost immediately. Earlier that day, he had reportedly bought the ski mask he wore during the robbery at the same store…using his rewards card. To make matters worse, the “weapon” under his hoodie was just his finger. Then the cashier recognized him, having known him since he was 8 years old. Unimpressed, she jumped over the counter and tackled him. Other employees helped hold him in the laundry detergent aisle until police arrived.
