THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My family lives in a lovely neighborhood. We love our home and all of our neighbors, except for our next-door neighbor. He's a single guy, and his mom used to live with him until she passed three years ago. She’s the reason he has this home in the first place. She had money. This guy is in his 50s, unemployed, and is always home. Since she passed away, his behavior has become strange. He stands in his front yard, shirtless in his boxers with beer. Just staring into the street. Then he goes to his driveway and sits in a lawn chair to watch the neighborhood kids play. But I noticed he has a security camera on the side of his house that must be on a remote control because it’s always moving around to a different angle. Sometimes it’s on our house, and it’s creepy. We have a six-year-old daughter, and I don’t want this creep around her. I want my husband to talk to the guy, but he doesn’t want the confrontation. He says we should leave it alone and put reflective film over our daughter’s window. Am I overreacting, or is my husband not reacting enough?
Signed
Concerned Mother

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Scientists have discovered that simply looking at natural scenes can reduce pain. An international study found that exposure to nature results in the calming of specific brain circuits, changing how our brains process painful stimuli at a fundamental level. Lead study author Max Steininger of the University of Vienna said that while many studies over the years have shown that people consistently feel less pain when exposed to nature, “until now, the underlying reasons for this effect were unclear”, and this study shows it isn’t just a placebo effect.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
The kickoff to Super Bowl LX is nearly a year away, but NBCUniversal is already chasing down big bucks for commercials. NBCU has indicated it will seek around $7 million for a 30-second ad in the Big Game, according to media buyers and others familiar with early conversations. That would be a little more than what Fox initially sought for ad time in Super Bowl LIX, which aired in February. Fox was eventually able to sell some commercials for an eye-popping $8 million, but those numbers came after the network experienced higher-than-anticipated demand. Later, some sponsors asked to get out of their deals following the California wildfires.
After a knockout performance hosting the Golden Globes in January, Nikki Glaser will return in 2026. Next year’s iteration of the awards show will air on CBS and Paramount+ after a deal was struck to air the telecast through 2029. Glaser, who earned raves for her hosting duties, said in a statement: “I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from ‘The White Lotus’ who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in season 4 as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.”
A Bitcoin billionaire and former child star is offering to put up Wendy Williams in a mansion with “around-the-clock hospital care.” Brock Pierce — who starred in films like “The Mighty Ducks” before hitting it big in crypto — said in a statement: “My offer is simple: a place where she can find peace, receive the care she deserves, and begin her journey to healing.” Pierce, who previously appeared on Williams’ radio show, added: “Wendy is a national treasure, and it’s time we show her the kindness and support she has always given to so many.” She has been staying in a facility’s memory care unit while fighting to end a court-ordered guardianship, which she compared to a “prison”.
DID YA KNOW!?
Did you know Princeton University's first graduate student was a US president?Even though the Ivy League university didn’t officially start granting doctorates until 1879, they actually had their first graduate student in 1771. His name was James Madison and he eventually became the fourth president of the United States.

OF THE DAY
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Columbia University say that a space elevator to the moon is possible with today’s technology.
The original pilot for the long-running FOX animated comedy series “Family Guy” has been made available again online. The episode had previously been considered to be “lost media” for close to 30 years. Lost media are any media — movies, TV, music, video games, books, etc. — that are thought to no longer exist in any format. This has become increasingly rare in the digital age. But the 1998 premiere episode of Family Guy was missing – until it was unearthed the portfolio website of Robert Paulsen, one of the animators who worked on it. While the pilot is very similar to what the show became, there are some notable differences. One is the rudimentary animation. In addition, series creator Seth MacFarlane — who voices a number of characters, is heard voicing the role of ‘Peter Griffin’s’ son ‘Chris’, a role that eventually went to Seth Green.

WEIRD NEWS
A world-famous comedy club has banned people with Botox. The Top Secret Comedy Club in London says attendees whose faces are “frozen” from injections are not allowed to come to its shows. Last week, staff began conducting “expression tests” along with standard ID checks at the door, to ensure that everyone who enters is able to demonstrate with their face how funny — or not funny — they find a joke. The club came up with the idea after comics repeatedly complained of looking into an audience of straight faces after telling their best jokes.
