THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My husband and I have been married for 18 years and I think we're finally going to get divorced over the thermostat. He likes the house at 68 degrees. I like it at 72. Every night before bed, I turn it up to 72. Every morning I wake up freezing and discover he turned it back down to 68. We've started secretly changing it when the other person isn't looking. Last week I put a piece of tape over the thermostat so he couldn't change it. He peeled the tape off. Then he put a little note on it that said, "Nice try." So I changed the Wi-Fi password on the thermostat. He changed the password back. I'm starting to think we're no longer a married couple. We're just two people fighting over a rectangular piece of plastic. Who is right? And more importantly, is there a thermostat setting that will make both of us happy?

“Star Wars” creator George Lucas says that he had plans to direct 3 more movies in a galaxy far, far away before he retired from directing after completing “Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.” On “CBS Sunday Morning”, where he discussed the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, the 82-year-old explained that he retired from making movies in order to be able to ensure his vision for the museum came to life. Lucas said: “When I did this, I decided to retire from making movies, which was a big deal because I had 3 more ‘Star Wars’ to make. But I realized that I was running out of time, and I did want to make this museum.” The $1.5 billion museum has 1,200 pieces of art from Lucas’ private collection, and includes 35 galleries spread across a 13-acre campus.
Tom Cruise‘s new star vehicle “Digger” has finally been unveiled to members of the film press, who have been left divided by the satirical black comedy. It’s being called everything from “baffling” to “unpleasant” to “fascinating stuff.” Most reviewers seem to agree on one thing: Digger is nothing like you might be expecting. For Cruise, Digger marks his return to adult-oriented drama after more than a decade playing action heroes. In the last 10 years, his only non-action movie is the 2017 crime comedy “American Made.” Digger opens in theaters Oct. 1.

OF THE DAY
• 45% of us say we forget to clean our light switches.
Could LED lights be the “new asbestos”? It sounds pretty dramatic, but 2 UCL researchers are raising concerns that spending most of our time under LED lighting could affect health by exposing us to less red and near-infrared light than we get from sunlight. They say extended exposure to LEDs in homes, schools, offices or hospitals may interfere with mitochondria, the parts of our cells that produce energy. The researchers recommend getting plenty of natural daylight and suggest using some incandescent or halogen lighting in every room at home. However, keep this in mind: research in humans is limited, and there’s currently no established evidence that LED lighting causes diabetes or other diseases. The warning follows years of government initiatives to replace traditional light bulbs with LED ones because they use less electricity and last longer.

WEIRD NEWS
A new traveling exhibition in Japan invites guests to explore…well…hell. According to the beliefs of Japanese Buddhism, hell can be hot, cold, bloody and even covered in poo. People are judged by the Ten Kings of Jigoku and assigned to various levels of hell. There are Eight Hot Hells feature torture like molten metal, flesh-eating animals and repeated death — plus Eight Cold Hells. There’s even a Hell of Excrement, involving a neck-deep pool of…well, it stinks like…you know. The good news? Hell usually isn’t eternal. And neither is the exhibition, which features historic art and digital recreations of Japanese hell. Admission to hell is about US $18. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/48kzwhbu

THE LIST
Some of the most popular baby names of the 1990s have gone from totally hip to totally… nope. A new ranking looked at 30 years of UK baby-name data and found that many names that were huge in the ’90s have absolutely tanked since then. For girls, Courtney suffered the biggest drop, falling from #17 in 1998 to #2,278 in 2025. Shannon and Danielle also plunged more than 1,400 places. Among boys, Connor fell from #11 to #299. Apparently, today’s parents would rather name their kid something unique — like Kasai or even Klarity, rather than Katie. Here are the top 10 ’90s names that have fallen the farthest (in order) …
Girls:
Courtney,
Shannon, Danielle, Lauren, Megan, Jade, Katie, Bethany, Rebecca, Amy
Boys:
Connor,
Callum, Jordan, Lewis, Jake, Matthew, Ryan, Luke, Daniel, Samuel
