Sandrine Estrade Boulet is an amazing Paris street artist whose sense of humor is as good as her resourcefulness. She sees Paris as her canvas and brings everyday items to life either by creating art right on the street or taking a photo and enhancing it digitally. In Boulet’s world, street rats are Ramones fans, garbage bags are fallen angels, and a discarded pretzel is an extraterrestrial looking for a ride home.

This baby picked his favorite sister over and over. Then made two powerful enemies in the process.

Sibling relationships are complex, filled with laughter, rivalry, and lifelong bonds. But every once in a while, a moment between siblings perfectly encapsulates the sweetness of those relationships—and that’s exactly what happened in a now-viral video of a baby boy’s unwavering loyalty to his youngest sister. His adorable decision to pick her, no matter the circumstances, has left the internet in awe.

The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter), has amassed over 63 million views. It shows a toddler choosing between his three older sisters, who sit in various configurations to test his loyalty. No matter how the sisters are arranged, or even if his youngest sister is taken out of the lineup, the baby’s choice is clear: her or no one.

The groom takes a moment during his vows to share an unexpected and emotional message

YouTube | Jefferson

He knelt before his 8-year-old stepdaughter at the altar and made a promise that left the room in tears

Every bride dreams of a perfect wedding day, but sometimes, the most unforgettable moments come from the unexpected. That was exactly the case when Jefferson, a loving groom, decided to surprise his bride, Jessica—not with a last-minute change of plans, but with a confession straight from the heart.

After exchanging vows with Jessica, Jefferson took a deep breath and admitted that there was someone else he loved just as much, if not more. Gasps filled the room as guests tried to process what he was saying. Jessica herself began to cry, overwhelmed by emotion. But before anyone could assume the worst, Jefferson turned to Giovanna—Jessica’s 8-year-old daughter—and revealed the truth: he wasn’t just committing to Jessica that day, but to Giovanna as well.

Psychologists reveal confidence-boosting reality check that can stop everyone from worrying

We’ve all wanted to make a good impression, whether it’s a job interview, meeting your partner’s family, meeting your roommate’s friends, or some other situation. Putting your best foot forward can make a person nervous, and that’s natural. Usually, things go well and conversation is good, but then you go to your car and look in the rear view mirror to find a mustard stain on your shirt collar. Or you see some spinach caught in your teeth. Or you look back at the dinner conversation and realize that when the waiter said, “Enjoy your meal” you responded with, “You, too!” God, how embarrassing. They had to have noticed. They must think you're a slob. They must think you're stupid. What do they think of you?

Psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists have the answer: nothing. They’re not thinking about you at all. While at first that may sound harsh, it’s actually quite liberating. In fact, knowing that can help boost your confidence.

Soon your dog might be able to call you from your home.

FaceTime for dogs? Man's best friend will soon be your favorite phone contact.

One of the hardest things as a pet owner is leaving our pets at home when we go to work or a dog-free function. It can feel stressful both to the owner and the pet since you’re going to be away for a significant amount of time...but, what if they could just call you up if they felt lonely?

Dr. Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, who heads the Animal-Computer Interaction Group at Glasgow University in Scotland, has spearheaded the creation of a DogPhone that enables dogs to contact their owners whenever they’re left alone. Her team has already developed an electronic ball from Hirskyj-Douglas’ pet Labrador, Zack, that sets up a video call on a laptop, allowing the dog to call her whenever he wants. The system is set up so Hirskyj-Douglas can call him as well, with either party free to pick up or ignore calls.

Sorry, Milo. You just missed being the number one cat name again.

When my wife and I christened our dog, an adorable and fold-filled pit bull named Stephen, we didn’t think that was a controversial pick. We’re both huge fans of Steve Hackett and Steve Howe, two renowned prog-rock guitarists, and this was our way of tipping the cap—just as we’d done with other pets past and present. (To recap: Tony, for Tony Levin and Tony Banks; Peter, for Peter Gabriel; Gabriel, for, well, you guessed it; and Tegan, for Tegan Quin.) But when we introduce him to strangers on the street, people always say things like, "Really?" or "I love it when people give their dogs human names," as if it's unusual. I must have been living under a rock–apparently, giving your pet a "human name" is awfully divisive. "How did we get from naming our Labradors and Pomeranians things like Fluffy and Toto to christening them with names like Jake?" wrote Cleo Levin for Slate in 2024.

Well, if we trust the data from U.S. News & World Report, many people are indeed taking our approach—but not everyone. Their survey, initially posted in 2024 but updated with new research in September 2025, sheds light (and perhaps some fur) on where we stand with kitties. The publisher analyzed "1,261,285 data points" from the third-party pet insurance company Fletch, determining the top 20 cat names in America.

NASA can't find 'another explanation' for unusual Mars rock formations than ancient life

Ever since humankind gazed into the stars, we’ve asked whether we were alone or if there was other life out there. Whether it was science fiction or science fact, we’ve imagined and researched to see if there was any chance or sign of life having happened outside of Earth. Now, after years of studying the Red Planet of Mars, we may have found the answer.

Upon looking at a section of Mars dubbed “Cheyava Falls,” researchers saw what looked like “leopard spots” among the usual rocks and decided to take a closer look to identify them. After closer observation and analyzing them with specialized tools, they discovered that those leopard spots were deposits of vivianite and griegite. These iron minerals are associated with microbes interacting with organic matter on Earth. After closer analysis, they found organics and carbon, two necessary items for life to exist or have existed. Given that vivianite and greigite are waste products of microbes on Earth, and those iron minerals were in proximity to organics, it’s been determined that there was once some form of life on the Red Planet.

'Coping' with going bald, they shaved their head and self-esteem surged. The Internet was amazed.

Not every thinning-haired man can be like Larry David, perhaps the most bald-conscious human on the planet. "I'm very proud of myself, and I'm not proud of myself for a lot of things," he told Jimmy Kimmel with a laugh in 2017. "But I'm very proud of myself for the way I accepted my baldness. It’s the only demonstration of character I've ever displayed in my life."

For many of us, losing our hair is a difficult life change, given that so much of our identity can be wrapped up in physical appearance. "Hair is deeply ingrained into one's self-image, inextricably linked to perceptions of beauty, health, youth, and gender," wrote Yoo Jung Kim, M.D., and Yoo Eun Kim for Psychology Today. "Moreover, hairstyling is also an essential part of many cultural and religious practices. Losing hair can worsen a patient's self-esteem, body image, and sense of distance from their social community."
