A surprising new study reports that your home bathroom sink might harbor more potentially harmful bacteria than its hospital counterparts, raising concerns about home hygiene practices. The research, from Flinders University in Australia, examined biofilms – thin, slimy layers of microorganisms that adhere to surfaces – found on faucets and drains. It was found that residential sinks, particularly drains, harbored higher levels of certain concerning bacteria, including Legionella – the bacterium responsible for Legionnaires’ disease. The team says their finding highlights a potential blind spot in our approach to infection control.

Jupiter's
red spot is almost as well-known as the planet's remarkable rings.
But the spot, which is, in fact, a storm, has been shrinking for a
century and a half. Although NASA can't predict what will happen to
the storm that was "once big enough to swallow three Earths with
room to spare," they do know that it "seems to have
increased in area at least once along the way, and it's growing
taller as it gets smaller."

Megan Thee Stallion has been tapped to host the 2024 Video Music Awards, set for September 11 at New York’s UBS Arena. It will be Megan’s first-ever awards-hosting gig. She’s nominated in 5 categories at this year’s VMAs, including Best Collaboration with tourmate GloRilla, and Best Hip Hop. Katy Perry is set to receive this year’s Video Vanguard Award and will perform a medley of her hits. Other performers include Benson Boone, Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, GloRilla, Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, and Sabrina Carpenter. Megan is no stranger to hosting duties, having previously hosted “Saturday Night Live” and serving as co-host for “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Stephen Nedoroscik, who went viral as “Pommel Horse Guy” during the Paris Olympics, is the first celebrity cast member revealed for “Dancing With the Stars” Season 33. The announcement was made yesterday on “Good Morning America.” The 25-year-old gymnast won an individual bronze medal, and helped the US Men’s Gymnastics team win their first team medal — also bronze — in 16 years. While social media users speculated that Nedoroscik was napping before his event, he later explained to Jimmy Fallon that he was “visualizing” what he needed to do. ABC said the rest of the DWTS cast will be announced later.
Alex Rodriguez appears to be weighing in on the “Bennifer 2.0” breakup from the sidelines. The retired MLB star posted a cryptic message on his Instagram Story Monday — the same day that his ex-fiancée, Jennifer Lopez, filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. A-Rod shared a post citing one of his own quotes, which read: “You either go one way or the other, you might as well be the one deciding the direction.” It seems like a harmless motivational line, but considering A-Rod’s history with J-Lo, some wondered if it was his public response to the news. Rodriguez and J Lo started dating in February 2017, and got engaged 2 years later, but called things off in April 2021.

The Air Guitar World Championships has crowned this year’s winner, following 3 days of competition. The 27th annual Olympics of air guitar in Sweden featured competitors bearing names like such as “Shred Lasso” and “Guitarantula”. But it all culminated on Friday night when Canada’s Zachary “Ichabod Fame” Knowles was named 2024 Air Guitar World Champion. Contestants were judged on their performances of 2 songs in 2 separate rounds, each lasting 60 seconds. Props and costumes are allowed — but backup bands and real instruments are forbidden. The jury took into account a contestant’s “originality, ability to be taken over by the music, stage presence, technical merit, artistic impression and ‘airness’.

Man! I wish this story happened just little bit closer to Halloween! Police were called to a California beach where lifeguards discovered what appeared to be a human skull — but it turned out to be something a bit more mundane, if still creepy. The Long Beach Police Department said lifeguards contacted authorities early Monday after finding what they called a human skull with part of its face missing, washed up in the sand. Rumors quickly spread on social media about the so-called “grisly” discovery, and cops were close to launching a homicide investigation — when medical examiners deduced the skull was not from a human — or even from an animal. It was determined to be a plastic prop skull.
