SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Despite longstanding advice to avoid screens at bedtime, new insights from sleep experts suggest that watching TV before sleep might not be harmful — and could even help some people. Dr. Emma Lin, a pulmonologist and sleep medicine specialist, notes that for certain individuals, falling asleep to TV is “just right.” While blue light from screens has long been blamed for poor sleep, Dr. Michael Gradisar says the real culprit is often simply delaying bedtime. Experts now believe that, when used as part of a consistent wind-down routine, TV can signal the brain that it’s time to rest. The possible problem? The brain can associate TV with falling asleep, “so trying to sleep without it brings on anxiety.”
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Tom Holland has finally revealed his new Spidey suit for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” After briefly teasing the suit on Friday, which was national Spider-Man Day, the full unveiling came on Saturday with a longer video. In it, Holland emerges from the shadows in his new costume, which more closely resembles the comic-book costume than his previous duds did. Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/5n84t6f5
What better way to go out than to go out laughing? “The Naked Gun” revival — starring Liam Neeson opposite Pamela Anderson — premiered with a domestic weekend take of an estimated $16.5 million. That’s good enough for a third-place finish behind “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”, which stayed at first-place with an estimated $40 million second weekend. The new family pic “The Bad Guys 2″ came second with an estimated $22.8 million.

You can actually die laughing. And a number of people have, typically due to intense laughter causing a heart attack or suffocation. Comedy shows should come with a warning.

OF THE DAY
A new study claims that millennials are having significantly less sex than previous generations.
Cosmetic dermatologists are reporting that for about 2 years now, they’ve been noticing a new trend: more and more patients coming in after using weight-loss medications, complaining of “Ozempic face”. While many were thrilled with the weight loss, they weren’t as happy about the changes in their face, which include a more hollow, sagging appearance. As these medications grow in popularity, especially among people over 40, demand for treatments like fillers, facelifts, and fat transfers has jumped. In many cases, doctors say patients now need double or triple the usual amount of filler to restore volume and avoid that “deflated balloon” look. And the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that 2 in 5 of its members’ GLP-1 patients were considering cosmetic surgery — and 1 in 5 already had it.

WEIRD NEWS
If people sometimes enjoy a “no bones day”, then, logically, they definitely would enjoy this: “Boneless couches” are taking over TikTok – and no, we’re not talking about furniture with missing cushions. Boneless couches are missing frames. These soft, squishy sofas skip traditional structure altogether, offering cloud-like comfort with no sharp corners or rigid backs. Most arrive vacuum-sealed and expand like a mattress in a box, slowly fluffing up over a few hours—or a few days. One popular option is the Weture Modular Sectional Sofa, available on Amazon starting at $500. It’s made with plush corduroy, high-density foam, and requires zero assembly. Reviewers say it’s roomy, surprisingly sturdy, and easy to clean. The modular design means you can rearrange it into a chaise, an L-shape, or a full-on lounge zone. It can accommodate a few people, you can push a few together to create a big lounging area, or use a section to use as a chaise or makeshift bed. Reviewers are calling it “stylish, comfy, and versatile.” Translation: your living room just got a lot cozier. https://amzn.to/40ZKBFf
