SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Women may have been the big-game hunters in ancient times. A new University of California, Davis study challenges the long-held idea that early men hunted while women gathered. Researchers found a 9,000-year-old burial site in the Andes, containing a female skeleton buried with hunting tools. An analysis of 429 burials across the Americas showed that both men and women were big-game hunters. Those findings suggest up to half of women participated in hunting, indicating a more equal division of labor in early human societies.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
HBO recently deleted a trailer for Season 3 of “Euphoria” that garnered backlash for a particular NSFW scene involving Sydney Sweeney. The clip was since been reuploaded with a slight alteration to address fan criticism. The promo for Euphoria Season 3 titled “Weeks Ahead” included a shot in which Sweeney’s ‘Cassie’ suggestively poses in a baby attire with a pacifier. Following fan criticism, the footage was later reuploaded with the shot intact, albeit with some nudity digitally altered. Notably, the previous clip can still be viewed online.

Alec Baldwin is opening up about the circumstances surrounding his movie “Rust”. In 2021, a gun Baldwin was holding on the set of the Western discharged, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin told the “Awards Chatter” podcast: “We had to go back and finish the movie…in Montana as a component of the settlement with her husband.” Amid various health issues, Baldwin also said he “had to finish the film, or (the film’s producers) were going to sue the (stuff) out of me.”
Tom Cruise looks a little different in his latest role. In a new look at Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s upcoming comedy “Digger”, unveiled at CinemaCon 2026, attendees got the first real glimpse at his character ‘Digger Rockwell’, and the shocking transformation Cruise underwent to play him. Cruise was there for the debut of the teaser, which showed him with white, thinning hair, wrinkles, and a beer gut, thanks to prosthetics, makeup and a hairpiece. Director Iñárritu spoke about Cruise’s transformation at the screening, admitting: “Watching Tom Cruise becoming Digger Rockwell, I was not prepared for that.”

OF THE DAY
McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s have reignited the “Burger Wars” on Social Media.
In what could be the beginning of a reversal of the trend of concertgoers posting pics and videos all evening rather than enjoying the moment, fans at recent shows by UK stars Harry Styles and Fred Again saw a new approach to “souvenirs” and phone-free shows. At Fred Again’s London show, staff placed black stickers over fans’ phone cameras, while at Styles’ Manchester gig, attendees received disposable analog cameras and “smart bags” that blocked fans’ phone camera lenses. Both tactics were put in place to keep audiences fully present – and to stop the practice of taking video during the show. Inspired by nightclub privacy rules in Berlin, the measures encourage fans to focus on the music and the shared experience. Critics and concertgoers agreed on the impact: phones down, energy up, and memories captured in creative ways. Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Adele and Childish Gambino have all recently asked fans, sometimes in vain, to put down their cameras at shows.

WEIRD NEWS
A quirky parenting trend is gaining traction online, with moms and dads using an unexpected trick to stop toddler tantrums. In viral videos, parents shout a random name – often “Jessica”- mid-meltdown, prompting confused toddlers to pause crying and look around. Many say the simple distraction works instantly, though any unfamiliar name can have the same effect. Experts explain the technique as a “pattern interrupt,” briefly breaking a child’s intense focus on what upset them. That moment of confusion can help reset their attention and calm them down. However, specialists note the method may lose effectiveness once children catch on to the pattern. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3mxe28s9
