Please Stop Using My Airplane Seat to Pull Yourself Up
We already have plenty to argue about when it comes to airplane etiquette. Reclining your seat, hogging the armrest and, of course, the kid behind you kicking your seat for three straight hours.
But here’s another one: grabbing the headrest of the person in front of you when you’re getting out of your seat.
If that person is sleeping, holding a hot drink or just enjoying the two inches of personal space the airline has generously provided, suddenly having their entire seat yanked backward isn’t exactly pleasant.
To be fair, airplane seats barely give us enough room to move, so sometimes you need a little help getting up. Just maybe find somewhere to grab that isn’t attached to another human being.
George Michael Is Getting a Huge Celebration 10 Years After His Death
It’s been nearly 10 years since we lost George Michael, but 2026 is turning into a huge year for celebrating his music.
George Michael: The Faith Tour live album is set to arrive November 6, followed by a theatrical film of the same name on December 11.
And this Sunday, the VMAs will celebrate the 40th anniversary of his iconic Faith album with a special tribute featuring RAYE, sombr and Teddy Swims.
Four decades later, Faith is getting another very well-deserved moment.
Should You Bring an Iced Coffee to a Job Interview?
Apparently, even your iced latte can make a first impression.
A debate has taken off online over whether showing up to a job interview carrying a coffee makes you look too casual.
The argument is that walking in with a dripping cup, rattling ice and taking sips throughout the conversation can make the interview feel like just another stop on your list of errands rather than something you’re taking seriously.
Is carrying coffee really enough to cost someone a job? Probably depends on who’s doing the interviewing. But if you’re already nervous about making a good first impression, maybe finish the cold brew in the parking lot.
Christian Bale Helped Build a $22 Million Foster Care Community
Christian Bale may have hung up the Batman suit years ago, but his latest project sounds pretty heroic.
Bale co-founded Together California, which has opened an 11,000-square-foot foster care facility in Palmdale, California, designed around an important goal: keeping siblings together when they enter the foster care system.
The roughly $22 million project includes 12 homes and a community center, with full-time foster parents caring for children and coordinating the services they need.
The facility recently celebrated its ribbon-cutting, with families expected to begin moving in soon.
Bale said their job is to turn the heartbreak and pain these children have experienced into “love and hope and a sense of future.”
People Are Paying $40 an Hour to Get Scratched
Forget massages. Apparently, some people would rather just have someone scratch their back for an hour.
An entrepreneur in China has opened “scratching salons,” where customers pay staff to gently scratch their backs and bodies using specially designed fingernails.
The idea reportedly came after the owner watched a video of a wife scratching her husband’s back and noticed how many people in the comments said they’d happily pay someone to do the same thing.
Apparently they weren’t kidding.
Sessions cost around $40 an hour, and the owner says business is booming.
Honestly, anyone who’s ever asked their significant other to “scratch a little to the left... no, down... okay, back up” can probably understand the appeal.
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi Have Grown Their Family
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have reportedly welcomed another child through adoption, growing their family to four.
The couple is keeping details about their children private, including their names, but Brown has previously spoken about how important adoption has always been to her.
She has said that even as a child playing with baby dolls, she imagined herself adopting them and always knew adoption would eventually be part of her future.
Brown has also made clear that adoption doesn’t mean she’s ruled out having biological children someday.
For now, the couple is choosing to keep their kids out of the spotlight as their family continues to grow.
