A new poll says that 58% of parents are already looking forward to the 2023-2024 school year, and 66% feel that it’ll be better than last year. You can decide for yourself what THAT means, but the survey also found that on average, parents are setting aside $225 for back-to-school shopping. Conducted in the US by OnePoll, the survey also found that 39% of parents planned to start back-to-school shopping for their child . . . before July.

Scientists have come up with a way to make common painkillers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen…from pine trees — instead of from crude oil products. That’s right: various pharmaceutical drugs are created using chemicals that come from crude oil. The researchers say this poses a significant threat to sustainability efforts as the world attempts to reduce greenhouse emissions. The new chemicals are derived from a component of turpentine, which comes from pine trees and is a waste byproduct from the paper industry.

Peyton Manning and Netflix are searching for more quarterbacks to profile in a second season of their NFL docuseries. Manning, who exec produces “Quarterback”, which starred Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota, has revealed that the streamer has greenlit a second season. On “The Pat McAfee Show”, the Colts legends said, “I don’t want to hear ‘It’s going to be a distraction’ because that’s not true, Patrick Mahomes proved that…We’re hoping that guys…say this is going to be a cool thing that I can show to my kids when I’m older, show to my grandkids one day.”

Jamie Foxx has spoken for the first time about his medical emergency, and says he wasn’t sure he was going to make it. He posted an Instagram video on Friday night, emotionally opening up about the suffering he went through and why he kept the specifics under wraps. Quote: “I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back. I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through.” Why did he wait so long to talk? He said didn’t want the public to see him with tubes coming out of his body, adding, “I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying…” He also shut rumors he was paralyzed and blind, and said he is now able to work. Still no word on what, exactly, his medical emergency was. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3m5tura6

“Star Trek” is no stranger to music. And if you’re a fan, you know that Starfleet officers are not afraid to break into song from time to time — as Allison Pill’s ‘Agnes Jurati’ did in season 2 of “Picard”, for example. But this season, “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” is going even further — with a full-blown musical episode for the first time in franchise history. The news was announced as part of the Star Trek Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, along with a video teasing the episode — which will be called “Subspace Rhapsody.” That will be episode 9 of season 2, set to premiere Aug. 3 on Paramount+.

OK, it’s time to answer that age-old question: Which is healthier hot dogs or hamburgers? According to Ben Schuff, a licensed dietitian nutritionist and director of nutrition at BIÂN Chicago, in a head-to-head comparison, “you can much more easily choose a healthier option in hamburgers relative to hot dogs, simply because hot dogs are, by nature, a significantly processed product without quality meats…for the vast majority of products.” A burger made with lean meat and loaded with veggies can offer a better balance of protein, healthy fats and nutrients. But on the other hand, hot dogs are lower in calories and fat. The bad news? Schuff summarized by saying: “Both hamburgers and hot dogs are hyper-caloric foods with a higher saturated fat content relative to other foods or sources of meat.” But most experts agree: enjoying hamburgers or hot dogs as part of a balanced diet and as an occasional summer indulgence is perfectly fine.

“South Park” watchers will know what I mean when I say it’s time, once more, to “Blame Canada”. A Wisconsin brewing company has created a beer called “Blame Canada”, which is inspired by the wildfires that have caused smoke to billow to the US – and beyond. G-Five Brewing Company teamed up with fellow brewer Rocky Reef to create the IPA. G-Five head brewer Tim Goers said that when it came to choosing a name for the new brew, 1999’s “South Park: The Movie” came to mind. The film featured the anthemic song-and-dance number ‘Blame Canada’, putting the show’s fondness for making fun of Canadians on full display. How are sales? Let’s just say the beer has caught on like the proverbial wildfire.

COOL IT:

As many areas experience record-breaking heat this month, it may be an understatement to say that sometimes, emotions can run as high as the thermostat. Psychologist Kirsty Leah from mental health support platform SupportRoom says that while warm weather can make us happier, sweltering heat is linked to greater irritability. Here are some tips on keeping your cool – literally and figuratively…

☞ Make your life easier: Avoid the high afternoon heat, stay hydrated, and invest in lighter sheets or a fan. Remember, getting enough sleep goes a long way in “keeping your cool”.

☞ Be patient: You might be ready to snap at others, but remember that if you are feeling it, they are, too, so try to be extra patient and lower your expectations of people until things are cooler.

☞ Postpone meetings: Whether it’s an important conversation or a routine check-in, consider holding back on work and social meetings until the heat subsides.

☞ Avoid big decisions: You might be prone to making rash calls if struggling in the heat, but it’s important not to make any big decisions until you are well-rested and can focus on the situation in hand to make an informed choice.

After decades of ridicule from some, one of fashion’s most divisive garments — the men’s swimming brief — is making a return. Some would argue they never went away — beaches and pools in Europe and Brazil have long been a safe space for fans of the Speedo style. But sales stats show that budgie smugglers (as the swimming brief is known in the UK and Australia), are back elsewhere. Speedo — the original makers of the skimpy swimwear — say that sales are up over 200% this year across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and US sales are up more than 55%. Some observers credit renewed interest in the look to the ongoing prevalence of “ironic style” — as we’ve seen with Crocs, mullets, and socks with sandals.

Maybe your dad or your grandad worked in the same field (or even in the same job) for his entire career…but that’s certainly not usually the case these days. In fact, according to a new survey, the average worker is most likely to change their career direction by the time they are 31. According to the poll of 5,000 employed adults, 26% are considering a career change in the not-too-distant future, while 44% have already made the leap to something new. Why the restless feet? One in 3 said they made a change because they wanted to pursue a career that offered the chance to make more money, while 32% were looking for work that they felt more passionate about. 19% said the key motivation was a better work-life balance. For those who have changed or are considering a career move, healthcare, education, and IT are the most popular industries that workers are considering moving into.

Surprising new research says that being…shall we say…”stout”…doesn’t mean you’re headed to an early grave.

The findings come after looking at a massive dataset covering the health info of over 500,000 American adults spanning 2 decades. The researchers say they found that all-cause mortality risk was similar across a wide range of BMI categories. They also pointed out, though, that being overweight still may contribute to a number of medical conditions.

Amid the actors and writers strikes, new seasons of the “Chicago” franchise, including “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago P.D.,” and 2 “Law & Order” series — “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: SVU” — which were set to hold down Wednesday and Thursday night programming, have been delayed. The second season of “Night Court” and “Extended Family,” both of which were scheduled to air Tuesdays, are also being postponed, and NBC has added an additional airing of “The Voice” on Tuesdays.

Just a few months after booting adult children, exes, old roommates, and other free-loaders from Netflix accounts worldwide, the streamer is once again changing up its subscription model.

Current Basic users will be able to keep their plan until they cancel the service. The cheapest option—Standard with ads, for $6.99 per month—is still available, as well as Standard and Premium, both of which are ad-free.

Do you ever check the date on the bread tag…find that it’s getting pretty close to the expiration date, but you pop the loaf into the fridge, in hopes of wringing a few more days out of it before it starts turning green? If the answer’s yes, you’ve apparently been doing it all wrong. A food expert is advising against keeping bread in cold temperatures, and that’s not the only item she says shouldn’t be kept in the fridge. Lora, who posts in Instagram as “lorafied’, says that while many people believe that keeping bread in the cold can help it stay soft and fluffy for longer, “It can stale twice as fast in here.” It seems that colder temps make the starch recrystallize — and then become dry. That makes the bread develop a stale flavor and texture – which you can slow down by wrapping it tightly in plastic. She suggests freezing it as a better option, which prevents bread from going stale, and stops the ‘spoilage microbes’ from developing at all. Some other food items that Lora advises against storing in the fridge:

• Tomatoes: They “do best between 65-85 degrees (18-29 degrees Celsius]…Grab a paper towel and store these guys stem side down”

• Potatoes: They “can end up a little gritty and even a little sweet…Toss those guys in a bag and wrap it up.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3bwnbwb8

• Also, keep garlic, onions, honey, and olive oil out of the fridge.

A controversial scientist claims to have implanted an electrode into his brain to control his dreams — by performing brain surgery on himself, in the comfort of his living room. Michael Raduga, a Russian researcher with no neurosurgery qualifications whatsoever, reportedly lost more than a ‘liter of blood’ while performing brain surgery on himself in his home in Kazahstan, to install an electrode that may one day be used to control lucid dreams. Raduga is not a doctor, but he is the founder of Phase Research Center, and organization that aims to provide guidance on how one may experience sleep paralysis, out-of-body experiences, and ‘astral projection’. He admitted that about 30 minutes into his DIY surgery, he was ready to give up because he had lost a lot of blood, and was afraid he might pass out. But he allegedly managed to complete the surgery, took a shower and worked for about 10 hours straight. He prepared by watching brain surgery footage on YouTube and experimenting on a few sheep.

➢ Straw & Hay: Straw is the byproduct of cereal plants made by removing the grain and chaff, and it’s used for animal bedding or compost. Hay is made from dried grasses or legumes, and is used as animal feed.

➢ Seltzer & Tonic Water: Just like sparkling water and club soda, seltzer water and tonic water are different types of carbonated water. But seltzer doesn’t contain added minerals. Tonic water contains added quinine and sugar.

Dear John,

My friends think I'm evil because of this. I think it's harmless but we all agreed to contact your show and let you and your listeners decide what I will do. If I'm right, they'll leave me alone about it. If I'm wrong, I'll stop doing it. I've been struggling with money. Inflation has kicked my butt so I'm trying to find ways to save with some life hacks. Going out to the bars is really expensive, but in my area, there are several bars that have Ladies' Night. So I dressed up as a woman...by the way, I'm a heterosexual 26-year-old guy...and hit the bars. I get a few free drinks and snacks, hang out with some losers looking to get lucky, then slip away. My friends say it's dangerous and cruel, and I'm going to get in trouble. Look, all I want is a few free drinks. So is what I'm doing so wrong?

Interesting angle. A new survey found that 90% of Gen Zers are anxious – about talking on the phone. And this has given rise to a new dating trend: The breakup text. Follow along: Instead of the dreaded “break-up call” that has been the standard dumping method for generations, today’s 26-and-under crowd is sending – and receiving “breakup texts”. The survey found that 1 in 5 Gen Zers have broken up with a partner via text, and it apparently isn’t just a thing that happens, it has become “a thing”, or normal behavior. One young Aussie who broke up with a partner via text said that younger people “prefer” rejection over text. Why? “It saves an awkward chat”.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had one of the most-viewed series on Netflix last year, but their follow-up definitely wasn’t. The couple kicked off their exclusive deal with Netflix by making “Harry & Meghan”, a docu-series about their own relationship. That was closely followed by the series “Live to Lead”, which, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal, failed to meet Netflix’s standards for success. Netflix only releases viewership data when it feels like it, so it’s hard to tell how well a show did, but the report notes that Live to Lead did not make it onto any of Netflix’s Top 10 lists, even immediately after its release. That has led some insiders to speculate that Netflix will end its deal with Markle and Prince Harry.

Kim Kardashian admitted she rebounded with her now-ex Pete Davidson — to avoid the spiraling drama with ex-husband Kayne West. On Wednesday’s episode of “The Kardashians”, the reality star told sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner: “I definitely jumped into another relationship so fast. It got my mind away from, like, stuff, and that’s not a way to, like, run from things.” She also told her younger siblings that “it’s better” to “feel, deal, [and] heal.” Despite the controversy that surrounded her ex-husband, Kim confessed that she doesn’t want to look at her experience “negatively”, instead concentrating on the questions: “What am I supposed to be learning from this? How is this going to make me a better person?”

Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand is now worth $4 billion. The New York Times reports that the shapewear company raised $270 million in a new round of funding, putting its latest valuation above the $4 billion mark. That’s close to $1 billion more than the $3.2 billion valuation investors gave Skims last year. Kardashian launched the company in 2019, with the brand pulling in $2 million in sales in just the first few minutes after its site went live.

Detergent works well at any water temperature, while soap needs warm water to work properly.
