After weeks of speculation, WWE revealed on Friday’s SmackDown that Pat McAfee is Randy Orton’s mystery caller. He attacked the Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, and it’s one of the most-hated moments in recent WWE history. According to reports, Rhodes’ comments at the end of the show reflected his true feelings about TKO—WWE’s parent company—interfering with creative. Earlier this afternoon, Punk and Rhodes exchanged messages on social media. Punk posted a photo of Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday from  Tombstone . Rhodes responded with a photo of Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp in one of the most iconic scenes, “I’m your Huckleberry.” This suggests that the two might form an alliance. Well, Punk would have words of his own in the opening of WWE Raw . Punk was shooting on everybody and everything in WWE, including his  WrestleMania opponent, Roman Reigns,  whom he called a “bucktoothed nepo baby.” He also references Reigns’ feud with Baron Corbin in which a “weird old man”...

People are willing to try just about anything to feel close to someone again. And in today’s ever-freakier world, that “someone” doesn’t even have to be human. A new survey from ZipHealth , which looked at responses from over 1,000 people across the U.S. and Canada, suggests we’ve already crossed a line most of us would’ve laughed at five years ago. About 23 percent of respondents said they’d consider having sex with a humanoid robot. Another 19 percent said they’ve already had some sort of romantic or sexual interaction with AI chatbots . Half of them kept it from their partner. And when you have secrecy, you have problems.  We’ve spent the past decade turning our phones into emotional support systems. Texting instead of calling. Venting in notes apps. Asking AI for advice because we feel awkward bringing it up to a friend. So it’s not shocking that 55 percent of people in the survey said talking to AI feels easier than talking to a real person. Easier, though, usually means saf...

People are willing to try just about anything to bring sex back into a relationship. Even if that means sitting down and making a menu for it. Laugh if you want, but couples who’ve tried it say it actually helps. According to a ZipHealth survey of 1,008 adults in relationships across the U.S. and Canada, 51 percent of couples who created a sex menu said the frequency of sex or physical intimacy increased after doing it. Another 74 percent said it reduced misunderstandings about what each partner wanted, and 79 percent said it helped them discover shared desires they hadn’t known they had. For anyone picturing a glossy little card with categories and bullet points, the actual idea is pretty simple. A sex menu is just a written list of preferences, interests, boundaries, and hard nos. In other words, a way to stop hoping your partner will magically read your mind and start saying what you actually want. A Sex Menu Might Be the Fix for Your Boring Sex Life That alone probably explain...

Pokémon Champions Release Date Explained Screenshot: The Pokémon Company The Pokémon Champions release date is set for Wednesday, April 8, 2026 . It’s hard to believe that the new online multiplayer title was originally announced over a year ago during the 2025 Pokémon Day celebrations.

With Pokémon Champions being a Nintendo first-party title, it will likely launch on the Nintendo eShop at 9 PM PT or 12 AM (midnight) ET. For your convenience, here is a table that shows exa...

People don’t ever really mean raw IQ when they talk about intelligence in a relationship. They usually mean curiosity, communication, emotional awareness , and whether being with this person makes life feel mentally alive or strangely lonely. That question is tricky because “intelligence” is a broad word. In a Dazed piece that brought this discussion into light, sociologist Dr. Jenny van Hooff argues that what people call “intellectual compatibility” usually reflects similar educational and class backgrounds, along with shared “repertoires of knowledge and culture.” Basically, a lot of people aren’t falling for book-smart intelligence, necessarily. They’re responding to familiarity. They like being with someone who gets their references, knows the same institutions, and speaks the same social language. Research supports part of that. A 2023 study on assortative mating found that couples in Finland and the Netherlands often had similar education levels, and researchers said social ...

The golden oyster mushroom doesn’t look like it’s capable of radically altering forests across North America and Europe. It isn’t malevolent . It doesn’t have world domination plans. It’s just a cluster of a kind of mustard yellow mushrooms. Yet its spread has been wild and unchecked, and is slowly changing some of the most important ecosystems in the world. The reason it’s spread so quickly is the same reason it was initially brought over from Asia back in the early 2000’s: it can grow quickly, which was a boon, as it’s considered one of the most delicious mushrooms a forager can find out in the woods. The problem is, it didn’t stay contained. It spread fast, quickly showing up in at least 25 states, as it thrived on dead and dying hardwood. Typically, according to a BBC report , trees colonized by golden oyster mushrooms host about half the fungal biodiversity of unaffected trees, a strong signal that native fungi are being crowded out and replaced with a single plant, which decrea...
