SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Ever catch yourself having a full conversation with your dog or cat? You’re far from alone. A new study analyzed 5,072 snippets of everyday audio from 240 people and found that participants spoke to their pets during about 9.2% of the moments when they were observed talking. University of Arizona researchers developed a 30-category system to measure everything from pet nicknames and baby talk to commands, questions and conversations about everyday life. The biggest surprise was how much people differed: some barely spoke to their animals, while others did it constantly. Researchers say those differences could help explain why pet ownership appears to boost wellbeing for some people more than others.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Rob Reiner is still being honored by Hollywood. The late actor/director won a posthumous Emmy for his role in “The Bear”, months after he and his wife were found dead. Reiner was awarded Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys Sunday night for playing ‘Albert Schnurr’, a businessman who helps ‘Ebraheim’ develop a plan to expand The Beef’s sandwich window. Wendi McLendon-Covey accepted the award on Reiner’s behalf — and the room erupted in a standing ovation. It was his third Emmy award, and his first in nearly 50 years. He previously won for playing ‘Michael “Meathead” Stivic’ on “All in the Family” in 1974 and 1978.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” took its 6th straight weekend championship as the summer box office came to a close, adding an estimated $23.3 million over the 4-day holiday, bringing its domestic total to $923 million. The total summertime domestic box office haul is estimated to be $4.74 billion, but it’ll require some extra accounting to determine whether this summer will pass the $4.75 billion total of 2013 as the unadjusted highest grossing summer of all time.
NBCUniversal is trying again with a reboot of long-running British hit “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here”. Peacock has ordered a U.S. version of the competition series and it will be hosted by “Traitors” breakouts Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch. The series is the latest attempt to break the show in the States. In 2003, ABC launched a version featuring stars like Melissa Rivers, Caitlyn Jenner and Tyson Beckford. Six years later, NBC attempted its own version featuring Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag, Lou Diamond Phillips, Janice Dickinson and Stephen Baldwin. Both attempts only lasted one season.

OF THE DAY
Picky eating may be written into your DNA. A 2024 study of twins found that genetics account for most fussy-eating behavior, while environmental factors explain only about a quarter of it. As children get older, however, their unique experiences – such as friendships – become increasingly influential in their eating habits. Researchers at University College London say introducing children to a variety of foods early, and repeatedly offering healthy options, may help broaden their tastes. But yes…your child may actually have inherited their “I don’t eat that” attitude!
Vacuum cleaner-maker Dyson is taking its high-tech approach to a new frontier: your mouth. The company has launched the $499 CameraJet, an AI-powered electric toothbrush that combines brushing with a precision water pick. It uses an endoscopic camera to see between your teeth – then automatically targets those areas with refillable mouthwash as you brush. Using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, users can watch a live view from the brush through the MyDyson app, and get an analysis of how thoroughly they cleaned their teeth. The footage isn’t stored unless users specifically activate recording. The catch? CameraJet requires non-foaming toothpaste so the camera remains clear. Dyson plans to sell a 2.5-ounce tube for about $11.

WEIRD NEWS
Alaska’s Senate race has a problem that sounds like the setup to a very confusing joke: There are THREE Dan Sullivans. Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan is running for re-election, but another Republican, retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan, is also on the ballot. The GOP has accused Dan J. of trying to spoil the race, but Alaska’s top court ruled he can stay. And now, former Anchorage mayor Dan A. Sullivan is urging voters to back the incumbent -- calling himself the “OG Dan Sullivan.”
