THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My sister is engaged and she is marrying my ex-fiance. I was engaged to him for two years and we broke up just a couple of months before our wedding last summer. It was ugly. It ended when I found out that he had been cheating on me. Now, my younger sister told me she had exciting news and invited me to dinner at our parents’ house. When I arrived, she and my parents were all smiles, and she dropped the bombshell: She’s engaged. To my ex. Then, I found out they had been secretly dating for a year… six months of that while we were engaged and planning our wedding. My parents already knew about it but didn’t tell me. I feel betrayed on so many levels. I told them I wanted nothing to do with their wedding or them in the future, and that goes for my parents, too. Then I stormed out. This did not go over well. My parents have been helping me pay my rent ever since I broke up with my fiance. I can't afford this place on my own. I have six more months on my lease! My parents told me I’m being ridiculous and threatened to stop helping me financially if I don’t fix this relationship. I need the money, but I have every right to be angry and to stay away, right? Do they owe me an apology?
Signed – Super Sad Sister

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the workplace, and a new study suggests it’s already affecting 700 different professions. Researchers analyzed over 1 million conversations with a popular AI assistant and found that by the end of 2024, about 25% of daily tasks across all jobs were either automated or augmented by AI. There is a difference. Automation replaces tasks entirely, while augmentation supports workers without replacing them. Tech roles are seeing the most automation, while educators and librarians are more likely to be assisted than replaced. For most jobs, AI still plays a supporting role—but that balance could shift as the technology evolves. Experts say the best way to prepare is to stay informed, experiment with AI tools, and focus on skills that still require a human touch—like judgment, creativity, and ethics.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
A sequel for Julia Roberts’ 1997 hit film “My Best Friend’s Wedding” is in the works. While no casting information is available, Celine Song, writer-director of “Past Lives” and “Materialists” has been commissioned to write the screenplay. Dermot Mulroney also recently shared that “there is talk of a sequel.” He starred opposite Roberts as a pair of best friends whose relationship comes to a head when Roberts’ character ‘Julianne’ learns Mulroney’s ‘Michael’ is about to get married.
Loni Anderson, who played a struggling radio station’s empowered receptionist on the hit TV comedy “WKRP in Cincinnati,” died Sunday, days before her 80th birthday. Anderson died at a Los Angeles hospital following a “prolonged” illness, her publicist said. WKRP in Cincinnati aired from 1978-1982 and was set in a flagging radio station trying to reinvent itself with rock music. The cast included Gary Sandy, Tim Reid, Howard Hesseman, Frank Bonner and Jan Smithers, alongside Anderson as the sexy and smart ‘Jennifer Marlowe’. Anderson was married to Burt Reynolds from 1988-94.
DID YA KNOW!?
Earth’s poles are moving. This magnetic reversal of the North and South Pole has happened 171 times in the past 71 million years. We’re overdue a flip. It could come soon, as the North Pole is moving at around 55 kilometres per year, an increase over the 15km per year up until 1990.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
The price of coffee has surged to near-record highs.
So, as it turns out, tummy time isn’t just for babies anymore. Grown-ups are getting in on the action—lying on their stomachs for a few minutes a day to help undo the damage of all that sitting and screen-staring. Experts say this simple move can ease tech neck, loosen tight hips, and even prevent long-term back problems. How so? Lying flat helps stretch your spine, activate your core, and counteract our slouchy, desk-bound lives. One woman swapped fancy cushions for just 10 minutes of belly time and says her back feels better than ever. Doctors recommend starting with short sessions—think 5-10 minutes, maybe while watching TV or scrolling (ironically). It’s low effort, zero cost, and, according to those who have been experiencing tummy time, it’s also actually kind of relaxing. So yes, adults lying on the floor is officially a wellness trend.

WEIRD NEWS
Coors Light is branching out — from beers to… armpits. The brand just launched its first-ever deodorant, Dura Chill, in collaboration with Duradry. And yes, it’s designed to live in your fridge right next to your beer. Just like Coors cans, the packaging has those signature mountains that turn blue when it’s cold enough to use. The $15 stick smells nothing like beer, thankfully. It’s called “Rocky Mountain Breeze,” with crisp notes of juicy pear and smooth vanilla. As Coors VP Marcelo Pascoa put it: “Dura Chill is like giving your underarms their own ice-cold beer.”
QUESTION OF THE DAY
