In 1976, George Harrison joined Paul Simon for a haunting 'SNL' duet of 'Homeward Bound'

The Beatles released their culture-shattering debut album, Please Please Me, in March 1963. A year and a half later, as the British Invasion was starting to take hold, an American folk-rock duo named Simon & Garfunkel released their first LP, the largely overlooked Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. In many ways, through the rest of the decade, these two bands were kindred spirits—prioritizing harmonic cleverness and lyrical depth, evolving to experiment more in the studio. They even collapsed at essentially the same time: Simon & Garfunkel released their final studio project, Bridge Over Troubled Water, in January 1970; four months later, The Beatles bid farewell with Let It Be.

Of course, all of their respective songwriters continued with solo careers, and it only felt natural that they’d collaborate in some way. That summit took place on November 20, 1976, during the eighth episode of Saturday Night Live’s second season. Paul Simon was pulling double duty that evening, hosting the show and serving as musical guest—but George Harrison also served as a second musical guest, appearing in two promo videos and duetting with Simon on two tunes, Simon & Garfunkel’s 1966 classic "Homeward Bound" and his own 1969 Beatles anthem "Here Comes the Sun."

A British woman in the U.S. shared some favorite sayings that have a surprising positivity.

British woman in the U.S. shares her new 'favorite' sayings that she will never stop using

English is wildly inconsistent and often maddening, especially if you’re learning it as a second language. Plus, depending on where you live—say, the U.S. versus the U.K.—you may utilize it in very different ways. (This is technically even true in other parts of America. I used to teach public speaking at the college level, and I often asked my students to share common idioms from their home state. I’d estimate I recognized about 20% of them at best.)

Suppose you’re a British-born person visiting or living in the U.S.. In that case, you’ve probably experienced an adjustment period—just like Juliette Amie, a self-described "Brit in Boston" who often posts on social media about her life in the States. In one recent video, she shared a list of "things I never said until I moved to the U.S." More specifically, these are expressions Amie has picked up through cultural osmosis and now wants to keep in her rotation. It’s interesting to watch this clip as an American—some of these phrases are so ingrained in my regular speech that it seems weird even to find them notable. It’s also interesting to hear her describe them as positive and affirming—maybe we’re being nicer to each other than we realize.

A mom asked her 5-year-old with autism to draw her and the result was not what she expected

It's a moment familiar to almost any parent: asking your child to draw a picture of you, bracing for a delightful, if not entirely accurate, creation. For mom Rebecca Rand (@officiallysidity), this simple challenge with her 5-year-old daughter, who has autism, led to a viral moment of pure joy and profound insight.

In a TikTok video, Rand explained that she is always trying to encourage her daughter’s creativity. "We had just got this new whiteboard, so I was like, 'Okay, mommy is going to sit right here and you draw what mommy looks like,'" she recalled telling her daughter. After a period of focused work, her daughter was ready for the big reveal.

Retired detective schools an angry woman and her son after she tries to kick his family off a public lake

Some stories of public confrontation are so perfectly structured they feel like a movie scene. This tale, shared by a retired detective on Reddit, is one of them—a masterclass in what happens when someone tries to wield authority they don't have against a quiet expert.

The detective, posting under the username u/Country_Fence, set the scene on a local public lake where he and his family often took their ski boat. "One day, after a few hours on the lake, my daughter mentioned she needed to use the bathroom," he recalled. They did what they always did: pulled their boat up to a docking area near the public restrooms, making sure to stay far away from the designated swimming zone.

A manager demanded his employee leave at 4 p.m. on the dot and the fallout was glorious

In the world of workplace stories, tales of "malicious compliance" are a genre unto themselves. They’re the oddly satisfying accounts of employees following a manager’s ill-advised rule so perfectly that it completely breaks the system. One story that has resonated for years, recently resurfacing on Reddit, serves as a masterclass in this quiet form of protest—but with a surprisingly positive twist.

The story was shared by a Redditor, u/my-reddit-saga, about a job he held 15 years ago at a government agency. His primary role was maintaining a fleet of cars, a job that involved a mix of tasks with varying time commitments—from quick fixes and supply runs to thorough, 45-minute hand washes for each vehicle. The job came with flexible hours, a system that worked perfectly for the task-based nature of the work. On some days, he might finish a final car wash and stay 15 minutes late; on others, he’d wrap up early and head home.

People dedicated to 'simple living' share the 10 rules for a happy, stress-free life

It's easy to get caught up in the fast pace of life. We often look to outside things to make us happy. Many people use expensive toys or habits to make themselves feel better, but with a weird economy, outside solutions are available to fewer and fewer people today.

With less funds in the "fun box," it's essential to find ways to spend less and get more out of it. Learning how to embrace "simple living" and pursue a more stress-free lifestyle not only brings increased peace of mind but also makes for a happier life.

When a 70-year-old mom saw an aggressive man on the subway, her simple act left him in tears

It was a scene that causes everyone on a subway car to hold their breath. The air grows thick with tension, unspoken fear, and the desperate hope that nothing escalates. A man, standing well over six feet tall, was in a state of clear distress. His movements were erratic, his voice loud and aggressive as he cursed and shouted into the cramped space.

Other passengers reacted as anyone might: they recoiled, creating a wide, invisible barrier around him. They averted their eyes, clutching their bags a little tighter, waiting for the doors to open at the next stop. But as the silent fear rippled through the car, one woman saw something different. She didn't see a threat to be avoided; she saw a human being who was hurting.

A car dealership crew humiliated a pizza guy over $7. The internet's revenge was brutal.

It remains one of the internet's most satisfying tales of instant karma, a story from 2015 that perfectly illustrates how a moment of cruelty can backfire spectacularly in the digital age. It began with a pizza delivery, a $7 dispute, and ended with a business's reputation in flames.

The incident, originally reported by CNN, involved Jarrid Tansey, a delivery driver for Palace Pizza, and the staff at F&R Auto Sales, a car dealership in Westport, Massachusetts. Tansey delivered a $42 order and was paid with $50. Assuming the extra money was a tip, he left. However, he soon received a call from the dealership demanding he drive back to return the $7 and change.
