SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
So…something mortifyingly embarrassing has just happened to you. Do you tell a friend…or do you zip it up inside…never, ever to be spoken of again? Well, according to Harvard Business School behavioral scientist Leslie John, opening up about an embarrassing or awkward experience might actually be good for you. In her book “Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing,” she argues people often worry too much about the risks of sharing, and overlook the mental strain of keeping secrets. Being vulnerable encourages others to open up in return, helping deepen friendships, romantic relationships and even professional connections. John says it’s still important to think about your goals before revealing something personal. But in many cases, she argues, sharing a little more than you normally would can leave people feeling happier, healthier and more connected.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
A court has entered a judgment in Mickey Rourke’s eviction case in Los Angeles. It states that the rental agreement has been canceled and the lease forfeited, meaning the “Sin City” actor no longer has a legal right to occupy the home. The judgement canceled Rourke’s lease and awarded possession of the property to the landlord, who had previously demanded almost $60K in back rent. In January, a woman calling herself an assistant to Rourke’s manager launched a GoFundMe to support Rourke, but he later claimed he had no knowledge of it. He has been living in a West Hollywood hotel.
Disney+ is developing a show called “Tink” that will center on Peter Pan’s ‘Tinker Bell’. Tinker Bell, of course, is the pocket-sized fairy in J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan” who is friendly with the title character but envies new Neverland arrival ‘Wendy Darling’. Following the 1953 animated film, Tinker Bell became an unofficial Disney mascot, providing the spark for a number of introductory title cards on Disney TV shows and home video releases over the years. The character has been the focus of several animated movies, but a live action project has never taken flight.
Before his death, Val Kilmer was set to star in 'As Deep as the Grave,' an indie set in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. But between COVID shutdowns and the progression of his throat cancer, Kilmer never made it to set and sadly passed away in 2025. Now, with the full blessing of his estate and family, director Coerte Voorhees is using generative AI to put him in the film posthumously. variety.com

OF THE DAY
Unclaimed Baggage, the only authorized reseller of lost luggage in the US, released its 2025 Found Report, highlighting some of the oddest items left behind. Among them: a fully-assembled robot with electric motors, a bionic knee, a fragment of a meteorite that struck earth in 1576, a full beekeeping suit, and a set of samurai swords. Other unusual finds included 10-karat diamond grills, a teak didgeridoo, gold-plated golf clubs, a fire-dancing poi, a 1-ounce gold bar, taxidermy deer foam, a giant stuffed goose, and even a suitcase full of rat poison.
Some New Yorkers say the city has gone too far in letting dogs accompany their owners pretty much everywhere. Tamara, who runs a Manhattan med spa, says clients frequently try to bring non-service dogs into treatment rooms during procedures like Botox, leaving staff to enforce health rules. She says it’s distracting and inappropriate in a medical setting. Similar complaints are popping up across the city as pets appear in grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, and other small businesses, despite rules limiting indoor access to trained service animals. Workers say enforcement is tricky because businesses can only ask certain questions about a dog’s status. While many residents love dogs, some say the growing “bring your pet everywhere” trend is creating tension – and confusion – about where they’re permitted, and where they belong.

WEIRD NEWS
With Denmark’s election this week, some candidates are turning up the heat on the campaign trail — literally. Instead of the usual speeches and handshakes, 2 politicians from Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democratic party met voters…in a sauna in Copenhagen. Lawmaker Ida Auken and Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard chatted with about 18 voters while everyone sat in bathing suits on wooden benches, discussing climate, crime, and inequality between bursts of steam. The unusual setting was meant to create a relaxed, informal atmosphere. In Denmark, where politicians often mingle freely with the public, the sweaty campaign stop was just another way to show voters that their leaders are ordinary people — even if the political debate sometimes gets a little steamy.

THE LIST
IRISH SUPERSTITIONS: (I saw this posted on St Patty's Day)
➢ If you trip and fall in a graveyard, you will most likely die by the end of the year.
➢ To counteract the bad luck from black cat crossing your path, make a triangle shape with your thumbs and forefingers and spit at the cat through the hole. This also works when you accidentally walk under a ladder.
➢ If you find a horseshoe and nail it to the door, it’ll bring good luck. This will not work if the shoe is bought or given as a gift by someone else.
➢ Handing someone a knife is bad luck. Always put it on the table in front of them, never in their hand.
➢ If the palm of your hand itches, you’re going to come into some money.
➢ If your elbow itches, you will be changing beds.
➢ If it’s your nose that’s itchy, you are going to have a fight with the person nearest to you. To remedy this, punch them in the arm and shake them by the hand.
➢ If your ear feels hot, someone is talking about you.
➢ Never ask a man who is going fishing where he is going.
➢ If you get your shirt wet while you’re washing the dishes, you will marry a drunk.
