OF THE DAY
That so-called “guilty” look your dog gives you after chewing your shoes or destroying the couch may not be guilt at all. Research suggests dogs are more likely reacting to your reaction than feeling remorse for what they did. In an experiment involving 14 dogs, the animals showed more classic guilty behaviors when they were scolded, such as looking away, lowering their posture and licking their lips, even when they hadn’t eaten the forbidden treat. A 2015 study involving 96 dog-owner pairs found owners were no better than chance at determining whether their dogs had actually misbehaved. Scientists say the famous “guilty look” may simply be a dog trying to calm down a tense situation.
Wired headphones are making a comeback – because apparently, everything old really does become cool again. Bose is getting in on the Gen Z retro-tech revival with its first wired headphones in 11 years. The Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds cost $99 and go on sale October 15. They use a USB-C connection, have no battery, and therefore never need charging…although you will need, of course, to remain physically attached to your device. Early reviews praise the durable cord and sound quality, while saying the noise cancellation isn’t quite as impressive as other Bose models. Amid a Gen Z retro tech renaissance, wired headphones have been gaining popularity with younger users, and sales entered 2026 up for the first time in 5 years. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/48stkkhv

WEIRD NEWS
A former 7-Eleven in Seattle has been transformed into an “Inconvenience Store” where everything is art – and nothing is particularly useful. The exhibit features about 70 local artists’ work across 14 departments, with items including pre-tangled USB cords, beeswax egg candles, keychains made from snack food, and purses made from old Cheetos and Lay’s packages. There’s even a “landline iPhone” that plays U2’s ‘Vertigo’ when answered. The artworks are actually for sale, ranging from $1 to $10,000. Organizers say the goal is to make buying art less intimidating and more accessible. The store is open weekends. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3mjb8b39

SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH HEIDI SMALL
(FROM HEIDI)
THE LIST
Never mind “6-7”… bewildering buzzwords and phrases like “scuba,” “crine,” and “i can’t do nathan,” rank as the most-searched teenage slang of 2026, according to new data. Let’s find out what the heck they’re talking about these days…but please: keep it ‘quiet on the creek’:
Scuba: Nope. They’re not going underwater. To Gen Alphas, “scuba” is a dance indicating that someone or something stinks. The move sees tweens and teens holding their noses while fanning the air.
Crine: The buzzy term “crine” is the intentional misspelling of “crying,” which Alphas use to describe extreme laughter.
Larp: Shorthand for “live action-role-play,” teens say “larp” or “larping” when describing someone who’s leading a fake, performative lifestyle for clout.
Bird: A derogatory term, “bird” is used to bash women who are overly, detrimentally obsessed with men. A bird is often air-headed, or “bird-brained,” exhibiting foolish behavior online and in person.
I Can’t Do Nathan: It means “I can’t deal with this,” “I can’t handle it,” or “I’m done.”
Quiet on the Creek: Popularized by rapper Saucy Santana, it means to keep certain secrets, situations and sexual scenarios on the down-low. Rather than broadcasting their every move, they prefer handling business on the hush-hush.
