Leo Tolstoy was a Russian novelist known for epic works such as”War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina.” His life experiences—from witnessing war to spiritual quests—profoundly influenced his writings and gave him profound insights into the human soul.

His understanding of emotions, motivations and moral dilemmas has made his work stand the test of time, and it still resonates with people today.

---

Juan de Medeiros, a TikTokker who shares his thoughts on philosophy, recently shared how Tolstoy knew if someone was highly intelligent, and his observation says something extraordinary about humanity.

“The more intelligent a person is, the more he discovers kindness in others,” Tolstoy once wrote. “For nothing enriches the world more than kindness. It makes mysterious things clear, difficult things easy, and dull things cheerful.”

@julianphilosophy

Intelligent people are kind #intelligent #intelligence #kindness #smart #tolstoy #men #women

De Medeiros boiled down Tolstoy’s thoughts into a simple statement: “Intelligent people are unafraid to be kind.” He then took things a step further by noting that Tolstoy believed in the power of emotional intelligence. “To have emotional intelligence is to see the good in other people, that is what Tolstoy meant, that to be intelligent is to be kind,” he added.

It seems that, according to de Medeiros, Tolstoy understood that intelligent people are kind and perceptive of the kindness in others. The intelligent person is conscious of the kindness within themselves and in the world around them.

Through the words of Tolstoy, de Medeiros makes a point that is often overlooked when people talk about intelligence. Truly smart people are as in touch with their hearts as they are with their minds.

You could say that Patrick Renna has found his niche in lighthearted sports humor.

Back in the 90s, the actor played the forever quotable character Ham in “The Sandlot,” followed by his role of a scene-stealing goalie in “The Big Green.”

And now, at the age of 44 and a father of two, Renna is still bringing a little laughter to the sports world…one dance move at a time.

---

Back in 2022, Renna and his two best friends —brothers Caige and Cru Moore—went viral for their interpretive NFL theme song dance, based on choreography created by other social media sensations Austin and Marideth Telenko (better known as Cost n’ Mayor).

@patrickrenna Are you ready for some football??? 🏈 dc: @Cost n’ Mayor #football #dance #fypシ ♬ Best NFL Themes – DabKid99

The clip was so popular that the NFL on Prime Video’s official account reached out to ask why their theme song wasn’t included. Renna and the gang were ready to right the wrong.

See on Instagram

According to an interview with Good Morning America, dancing on TikTok had been a suggestion of one of Renna’s Gen Z friends. Knowing he would never do something like that alone, he enlisted the help of Caige and Cru to make their “Chubby Ginger” dance crew.

They also get some choreography help from more dance inclined friends, of course. Like Renna’s childhood friends and actress Lynsey Moore, who “dumbs down” the moves and “yells at [them] for an hour straight to get it together and be in sync,” he told GMA.

Sometimes they even get help from mega pop stars like….I dunno… LIZZO.

That’s right. After the group’s “About Damn Time” routine got 10.7 million views, the singer reached out herself and offered to give them a hand on nailing some of the moves.

@patrickrenna Dreams really do come true #dance #aboutdamntime #fypシ ♬ About Damn Time – Lizzo

And hey, if you prefer to just bask in nostalgia, Renna also has a few videos reliving some of those fan favorite movie moments.

It’s always nice to see when the kid actors from our beloved childhood movies grow up to live healthy, wholesome lives. And Renna certainly seems to be one of those, happy to do whatever dance people throw his way…except maybe the truffle shuffle.

John Cena is one of the most beloved celebrity wrestlers and actors, but it’s not because of his wrestling or his acting. In addition to being generous and kind, he has a likeability that’s hard to ignore. He embodies so much effortless charm and charisma that even people who have never watched a moment of WWE know who he is and say, “Oh yeah, that guy. He seems so nice.”

So seeing John Cena sitting in a suit for a proper tea with a British grandmother is already a delight before either of them even open their mouths. Then their conversation begins, and it’s about as wholesome as it gets.

Cena is known for his “You can’t see me” hand wave move, which he had to explain to a fan’s grandma when she said, “Do you know, my granddaughter, who is an avid fan, said that I wouldn’t be able to see you?”

“I can explain,” he said. And then he did, in the most granny-friendly way possible.

---

“So, I’m a bit of a rabble rouser,” he began, to which Grandma—who looks quite a bit like Cloris Leachman—smiled and responded, “How exciting!”

Seriously, too precious.

“And one of the things that younger people know me for is this ridiculous dance maneuver where I wave my hand in front of my face and I say, ‘You can’t see me,'” Cena continued. “But I don’t say it like that, I say, ‘YOU CAN’T SEE ME.'”

And then Granny repeats, imitating his voice. You have to see the video, shared by The Hook on TikTok:

@thehook

John Cena explains ‘You Can’t See Me’ to a granny 😂👵 #johncena #youcantseeme #johncenameme #wwe #playingwithfire #fyp #foryoupage

With over 5 millions views, the video is a huge hit, with people sharing jokes about Cena and/or Granny disappearing and their general love for John Cena.

“He’s just such a delightful man. He’s funny, he’s charming, and he never takes himself too seriously,” shared one commenter.

“I have never in my entire life managed to be that charming,” shared another.

“I have absolutely no interest in wrestling but this man is adorable,” wrote another.

Sometimes you just need a little clip of John Cena pouring tea and calling himself a “rabble rouser” to bring some joy to your day.

Troye Sivan is not one to hold back. In his videos for “Rush” and “Got Me Started,” the Australian pop star is seen dancing around scantily clad men with little-to-no clothing, and the cover art to his upcoming album Something To Give Each Other features him wrapped up in a man’s legs. The overall aesthetic in this particular era features Sivan expressing his sexuality in an artistic fashion.

Ahead of the arrival of Something To Give Each Other, Sivan appeared on Watch What Happens Live where he broke down how some of his latest artwork came together. During the show, a couple of fans videoed in, asking questions that have been on fans minds for months.

“Is it true you did poppers during the photoshoot for the ‘Rush’ single cover to make it as authentic as possible?” asked one fan.

Sivan confirmed that he did, indeed, do poppers during this shoot

“That is actually true, yeah,” said Sivan. “I just wanted it to feel very intimate, very real, and it ended up being my favorite part of the photo. You can really see the visible vein in my head.”

Pulling questions from fans on Twitter, host Andy Cohen then asked country legend Reba McEntire, who was also on the episode, if she had ever done poppers.

Confused, Reba responded, “I don’t think so. What is a popper?”

Reba’s question was met with laughter from the audience. Though she didn’t get a response right away, Sivan promised he’d explain what poppers are after the show.

You can see a clip from the episode above.

Something To Give Each Other is out 10/13 via EMI and Universal Music Australia. Find more information here.

Between some serious injuries and the fact that they suffered their second defeat of the year, not much went right for the Buffalo Bills in their 25-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London this past week. There was, however, one bright spot: the team has captured the attention of LeBron James.

During the second quarter, Josh Allen went up to the line of scrimmage and audibled by screaming “LEBRON JAMES” twice. The play didn’t work out — Allen was pressured and had to throw it away — but James nevertheless tweeted that the play call has him interested. And on Thursday, James had a cameo on Amazon’s Thursday Night Football pregame show and was asked about the audible.

“Alright, so here it is, LeBron, have you figured out what the play call might be?” Andrew Whitworth asked.

“Listen, I still haven’t figured out what the play call may be,” James said. “The only thing that I know what happened is that Josh Allen threw the ball out of bounds after doing an audible of LeBron James. I hope that’s not the play call right there, to throw the ball out of bounds.”

Perhaps one day someone with the Bills will tell LeBron what the play is. Until then, it seems a safe bet to assume that he will spend a lot of time wondering what they did.

Just over a year after Bad Bunny dropped his critically acclaimed album, Un Verano Sin Ti, the Puerto Rican superstar is back with his fifth studio album. Tonight (October 13), Bad Bunny will drop his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana, which boasts 22 tracks. Equally as momentous as Bad Bunny are his fans, who are hotly anticipating the album. Many of his fans can’t wait to stream Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana the moment it hits streaming platforms.

Here’s when Bad Bunny’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana comes out on Spotify

As Spotify is the biggest music streaming platform in the world, it’s safe to assume that this is where a bulk of the streams will come from. That said, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana is expected to drop on Spotify at midnight EST. In central time zones, fans can expect the album around 11 p.m., and around 9 p.m. for Pacific time zones.

Though the album is arriving with little promotion, Spotify was one of the first platforms to tease Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana. Last weekend, Spotify shared an image with a tracklist, on which, all of the tracks were listed as “FIRE” with a fire emoji.

A family from Utah has ruffled a lot of feathers on Instagram after sharing the Halloween tradition they celebrate with their 2-year-old daughter, Aria. Instead of allowing her to eat all the candy she gets while trick-or-treating, they let her select 5 pieces.

That’s right. Just 4 pieces. But there’s a catch!

The parents put the remainder of the candy on the porch for the night for the “Switch Witch,” who exchanges the sugary foods for a toy. In this case, Aria received a “Frozen” doll from the witch.

The parents who came up with this idea are Emily and Erik Jensen, fitness trainers and life coaches known for sharing family health and wellness tips on social media. “You can get fun with it and give your witch a name,” Levi captioned his post, in part. “The witch who stops by our house is Wilda.”

After posting the video with over 10 million views, the couple was deluged by an incredible amount of angry feedback for their new Halloween tradition.

Here’s what everyone is up in arms about.

See on Instagram

The video hit right in the heart about issues people are passionate about, Halloween, diet culture, materialism, candy and preserving the magic of childhood.

“What happened to parents just letting kids be kids and enjoy Halloween?” EmilyKohara21 asked. “Dude, it’s once a year….” CGroves_08 wrote.

“It’s one day of the year. Give it a rest. You think it’s better to buy your kid toys than to let them have the bite-sized candy?” Beezus04 added.

Many parents thought making a big deal about the candy was a recipe for instilling negative body issues with their daughter. “Or just let your kid enjoy a f***ing treat instead of instilling body hatred and diet culture at FIVE YEARS OLD.” TolkienQueerFriend wrote.

In the comments, the people who supported the family noted that a 2-year-old probably shouldn’t be eating all that candy in the first place. “I love this idea! I have a toddler and he doesn’t need candy, but I want him to experience going out and Trick or Treating. I don’t eat candy and he doesn’t need more than 5 pieces at TWO years old!” JACQ2400 wrote.

“When we posted the video, we had no idea the comments would be so heated,” Emily told TODAY.com.

The crux of the issue was a child’s relationship with sugar, and, according to medical professionals, too much sugar in childhood can lead to big problems in adulthood.

“As with anything, too much sugar during childhood may lead to unhealthy cravings as kids grow older,” Dr. Stacy Leatherwood Cannon wrote for Henry Ford Health. “In excess, sugar can lead to obesity, which puts a child at risk for developing high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels and type 2 diabetes (where the body’s response to insulin is not regulated).”

But in the end, families have the right to make their own decisions about what’s appropriate for their children, and for the Jensens, they will stick with limiting the amount of sugar their daughter eats on Halloween. “The ‘Switch Witch’ isn’t for everyone, but it works for us,” Emily told Today.com.

It’s unclear what the future holds for Jerry Jeudy. The former No. 15 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Jeudy has seen his name thrown into trade rumors as the Denver Broncos struggle during the first year of Sean Payton’s time at the helm. And considering the amount of stuff that the team sent to Seattle in the trade that landed them Russell Wilson, it would make sense that Denver wants to try and get back valuable assets.

The problem the Broncos face is that if everyone views Jeudy the way Steve Smith does, they’re not going to get all that much back for him. Smith was on the air prior to Denver’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and it was mentioned that he had a run-in with Jeudy.

Smith basically explained that, on his podcast, he said Jeudy was “a J.A.G.: Just A Guy.” He wanted to apologize for going a little overboard, but Jeudy responded in a way that he did not like. Never one known for biting his tongue, Smith then unloaded on the former Alabama standout.

“I’ll say it again: I’m sorry that I said you were a J.A.G., Just A Guy, who’s an average wide receiver they used a first-round pick on that isn’t doing anything,” Smith, who was visibly upset by this point, said. “I hope today that you actually show up in a way that you haven’t showed up in the last couple of years since they drafted you. So, if you ever got a problem with Agent 89, I’m sorry for saying that you’re an average wide receiver that they eventually move on.

“And when teams call me asking should they trade for you,” Smith continued, “I will say no. Don’t trade for Jerry Jeudy. Because he’s mentally unable to handle constructive criticism from people who watch specifically, can he be a wide receiver? He can be a wide receiver, he’s a tier three. Go back into the studio, I’m done now. Thank you.”

The studio loved this, while Smith was clearly pissed off at the whole thing. I do not know about you, but I am going to pay extra close attention to Jeudy — who made a cameo while Smith was talking later on in the evening — on Thursday night now.

It looks like this will be a very fortunate Friday the 13th for Bad Bunny fans. Earlier this week, the Puerto Rican rapper/singer announced he is dropping his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana>. While this phrase means “Nobody knows what is going to happen tomorrow,” fans are waiting on bated breath for the album drop.

Here’s what time will Bad Bunny’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana come out

Bad Bunny’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana is expected to arrive on digital streaming platforms at midnight EST. In central time zones, the project will arrive at 11 p.m., and in Pacific time zones, the album will arrive at 9 p.m.

Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana comes with very little promotion. This past summer, Bad Bunny released “Where She Goes,” a dembow and Jersey Club-inspired track, which was accompanied by a star-studded music video, as well as another song called “Un Preview.”

Bad Bunny cleared his Instagram page, and then uploaded a cinematic trailer for the album to his account.

At the time of writing, none of the album’s 22 revealed tracks show any sort of vocal collaborations. Collaborations may be revealed upon the album’s drop, or there’s a possibility that we may get a solo Bad Bunny album.

Dillon Brooks began his tenure with the Houston Rockets in the most Dillon Brooks way possible, getting ejected less than five minutes into his first preseason game for a low blow on Pacers big man Daniel Theis.

Brooks has quite the history of hitting opponents below the belt, most famously doing so to LeBron James in Game 3 of their playoff series against the Lakers and also started a fight in Cleveland after hitting Donovan Mitchell in the nuts during the regular season. Brooks was ejected for both of those instances as well, and after his preseason antics, the NBA decided they needed to add an additional $25,000 fine to the Flagrant 2 ejection, noting it was “reckless” contact to Theis.

Brooks has long toed the line between playing hard and playing dirty, but recently his actions have come under the microscope and there is no longer any benefit of the doubt given to him for anything like this. As such, he’s going to either have to change his ways or keep getting tossed and fined, which one wonders if that will wear on Houston the same way it did on Memphis, with the Grizzlies ultimately making it clear they’d be moving on and not pursuing Brooks again once he hit free agency.
