SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Most people know sitting too much isn’t great for their health, but according to a new study, it’s not just how long you sit each day - it’s how long you STAY seated. A study of more than 91,000 people found that sitting for 30 minutes or more at a time was linked to a higher risk of dying from cancer. But breaking up those long stretches with even light activity - like a short walk or folding laundry - was associated with a lower risk. Researchers say regular movement breaks may benefit almost everyone, regardless of body weight or fitness level.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“The Batman: Part II” has been delayed yet again, but this time the new release date comes with a reveal for fans: a first look at Robert Pattinson back in the Batsuit. Director Matt Reeves took to social media to share a clip of Pattinson suited up as the ‘Dark Knight’ for “The Batman: Part II,” but he also revealed that the film will now be released on Feb. 18, 2028, not the October 2027 date that was previously set. The later date further distances The Batman: Part II from James Gunn’s “Superman” sequel “Man of Tomorrow,” which is also in production, and is due to hit theaters in July 2027.

Fifty years after Sylvester Stallone kick-started his own career with the movie “Rocky”, Anthony Ippolito is playing the actor in a movie that takes audiences behind the scenes of the iconic boxing movie’s development and production. Wednesday, Amazon MGM Studios released a trailer for “I Play Rocky”, which stars Ippolito as a young Stallone, eager to prove himself in Hollywood with a handwritten script for the original 1976 Rocky movie. The movie depicts the behind-the-scenes difficulties and dramas that Stallone, now 80, went through while trying to get Rocky made. I Play Rocky hits theaters this November.

Kevin Bacon is finally unleashing his alter ego. This week, the “Footloose” actor shared a video of himself participating in a popular social media trend and, as he put it, “preparing for when Netflix does a documentary on my true identity.” As he walks on-screen and makes himself comfortable in a chair, he says: “Alright, do I need a mic? Good, where do you wanna start? Okay. Hi, my name is Ethan Hawke.” In the caption of the Instagram video, which pokes fun at his and his “Leave the World Behind” costar’s uncanny resemblance, Bacon quipped, “@ethanhawke you have 24 hours to respond.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/vt99zbrx

OF THE DAY
It looks like Coca-Cola is getting ready to spice things up again. The company has filed a trademark application for the name “Spricy,” hinting at a possible new soft drink – most likely a spicy twist on Sprite. While trademark filings don’t guarantee a product launch, they’re often an early sign that a company is developing a new brand. Coca-Cola previously introduced “Coke Spiced” in 2024, but the flavor was discontinued after just 7 months. Experts say the name “Spricy” suggests a sweeter, spicier drink, tapping into the growing “swicy” trend that’s become popular online, with adventurous fans adding jalapeño or pickle juice to their sodas.
An AARP article has an interesting suggestion to help your vacations stay vivid long after you return home: Record them — not just with photos, but with sound. The piece cites research indicating that revisiting happy travel memories can extend the stress-relieving and mood-boosting benefits of a trip. Travel photographer and author Karen Gershowitz, who is 74, says she records everyday sounds on her phone’s voice recorder, from bustling open-air markets and crashing waves to birdsong and regional accents. She later organizes the clips by destination, and says listening to those ambient sounds bring back memories in a way that photos and written journals simply can’t.

WEIRD NEWS
A 76-year-old Florida woman got more than she bargained for when her new license plate arrived in the mail. Nancy Dello Stritto was shocked to discover it read “SQZ A55” (think about it…), a combination she thought was too “cheeky” (pardon the pun…) to end up on anyone’s vehicle. She said she couldn’t believe the plate had made it through the approval process, and it quickly became a source of laughs in her retirement community. Although her first reaction was to ask for a replacement, family and friends convinced her to keep it. Now she’s embracing the unusual plate -and even expects it might earn a few extra honks on the road.

THE LIST
The most searched word definition in America this year is…”gaslighting”. An analysis of Google searches from January through early July 2026 found “gaslighting” drew about 287,000 monthly definition searches, narrowly edging out “love.” Rounding out the top 5 are “fascism”, “empathy”, and “integrity”. Researchers also found Americans frequently searched for political and emotional terms such as “democracy”, “propaganda”, “narcissist”, and “socialism”, suggesting many are looking for help understanding today’s conversations and current events, not just expanding their vocabulary.
