The sweet-faced, loveable Labrador Retriever is no longer America’s favorite dog breed. The breed best known for having a heart of gold has been replaced by the smaller, more urban-friendly French Bulldog.
According to the American Kennel Club, for the past 31 years, the Labrador Retriever was America’s favorite dog, but it was eclipsed in 2022 by the Frenchie. The rankings are based on nearly 716,500 dogs newly registered in 2022, of which about 1 in 7 were Frenchies. Around 108,000 French Bulldogs were recorded in the U.S. in 2022, surpassing Labrador Retrievers by over 21,000.
The French Bulldog’s popularity has grown exponentially over the past decade. They were the #14 most popular breed in 2012, and since then, registrations have gone up 1,000%, bringing them to the top of the breed popularity rankings.

The AKC says that the American Hairless Terrier, Gordon Setter, Italian Greyhound and Anatolian Shepherd Dog also grew in popularity between 2021 and 2022.
The French Bulldog was famous among America’s upper class around the turn of the 20th century but then fell out of favor. Their resurgence is partly based on several celebrities who have gone public with their Frenchie love. Leonardo DiCaprio, Megan Thee Stallion, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Reese Witherspoon and Lady Gaga all own French Bulldogs.
The breed earned a lot of attention as show dogs last year when a Frenchie named Winston took second place at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and first in the National Dog Show.
The breed made national news in early 2021 when Gaga’s dog walker was shot in the chest while walking two of her Frenchies in a dog heist. He recovered from his injuries, and the dogs were later returned.
The French Bulldog’s complicated past took them from brothels (yes) to royals.
They’ve also become popular because of their unique look and personalities.
“They’re comical, friendly, loving little dogs,” French Bull Dog Club of America spokesperson Patty Sosa told the AP. She said they are city-friendly with modest grooming needs and “they offer a lot in a small package.”
They are also popular with people who live in apartments. According to the AKC, Frenchies don’t bark much and do not require a lot of outdoor exercise.
The French Bulldog stands out among other breeds because it looks like a miniature bulldog but has large, expressive bat-like ears that are its trademark feature. However, their popularity isn’t without controversy. “French bulldogs can be a polarizing topic,” veterinarian Dr. Carrie Stefaniak told the AP.
French Bulldogs have been bred to have abnormally large heads, which means that large litters usually need to be delivered by C-section, an expensive procedure that can be dangerous for the mother. They are also prone to multiple health problems, including skin, ear, and eye infections. Their flat face means they often suffer from respiratory problems and heat intolerance.
Frenchies are also more prone to spine deformations and nerve pain as they age.
Here are the AKC’s top ten most popular dog breeds for 2022.
A recently posted story on Reddit shows a mother confidently standing up for her family after being bullied by a teacher for her culture. Reddit user Flowergardens0 posted the story to the AITA forum, where people ask whether they are wrong in a specific situation.
Over 5,600 people commented on the story, and an overwhelming majority thought the mother was right. Here’s what went down:
“I (34F) have a (5M) son who attends preschool. A few hours after I picked him up from school today, I got a phone call from his teacher,” Flowergardens0 wrote. “She made absolutely no effort to sound kind when she, in an extremely rude and annoyed tone, told me to stop packing my son such ‘disgusting and inappropriate’ lunches.”
“I felt absolutely appalled when she said this, as me and the teacher have, up until now, always maintained a very friendly relationship. She added that the lunches I’m packing my son are ‘very distracting for the other students and have an unpleasant odor.’ I told her that I understand her concerns, as the lunches I pack are definitely not the healthiest, but the lunches are according to my son’s preferences.”
The mother added that she usually sends her son to school with small celery sticks, blue cheese and goat cheese, kimchi, spam and spicy Sriracha-flavored Doritos.
“I ended the call by saying that I very much appreciated her worries, but that at the end of the day, I am not going to drastically change my son’s lunches all of a sudden, and that it’s not my fault if other students are ‘distracted’ by his meal,” the mother continued. “It is very important to me what my son enjoys, and I want him to like my lunches.”
The teacher replied with an email saying the mom’s response was “unacceptable” and that his lunches were “just too inappropriate to be sent to school any longer.”
“I haven’t responded yet and don’t want to. I want to maintain a healthy relationship with my son’s teachers. I am confused as to what to do,” the mom ended her story.
It’s clear that the teacher is way out of line in this situation because the child is eating food that is entirely normal in Korean culture. It may have a strong odor to those who aren’t used to it, but that’s just an opportunity for the teacher to explain to the children how people from different parts of the world eat different types of food. It’s not that hard.
The only reason the teacher should have any choice over what the child eats is if it is egregiously unhealthy and may cause them harm.
The most popular commenter on the forum suggested that the mother bring the issue to the principal’s attention.
“Report her to the principal,” Thatshygal717 wrote. “Her comments regarding your son’s food are ‘disgusting’ and ‘have an unpleasant tone’ aka cough cough racist tone. She’s too inappropriate to be teaching at the school any longer.”
Another commenter, muffiewriters, assured the mother that she was doing nothing wrong. “Your son’s food is perfectly normal,” they wrote. “For a 5-year-old. Your family’s food is normal. The teacher is TA for not recognizing that.”
The mother hasn’t shared what she did next, but she’s handled the situation perfectly so far. She told the teacher that it’s not her fault if other kids are distracted by her food and that she will not change her son’s diet to please other people.
The beauty of America is that we are a country of many different cultures mixed like a beautiful bowl of salad. It’s great that so many people supported the mother and reminded her that her family has every right in the world to eat the food they love, and if it bothers anyone, they can keep it to themselves.
P.S. That teacher has no idea what she’s talking about. Korean food is delicious.
A mother in Missouri has found a way to maximize date night with her husband. She left a note for her babysitter, giving her options to make more side cash by completing small tasks around the home.
The goal was to have a night out and to return to a cleaner and better-organized home. It makes sense. Most of the time, babysitters just sit around while the kid sleeps, so why not make their time more productive and profitable?
Katrina Ivan, a science teacher, posted the list she sent her babysitter on TikTok and the video received over 1.5 million views.
“You are more than welcome to hang out and watch TV all night, but if you want to make some extra $, these jobs are up for grabs,” Katrina wrote to her babysitter, a senior in high school whom she’s known for 4 years.
When the babysitter saw the list, she was excited to get to work and started cleaning the windows 10 minutes after Katrina and her husband left the house. Katrina realized her plan was working when she saw her cleaning the windows through her Ring camera. “She was like, ‘Heck ya!’ and got to work right away,” Katrina told Today.com. “I left all the supplies out for her so she didn’t have to feel weird hunting around for things.”
By the end of the night, the babysitter was able to clean the mirrors and windows, organize the toys, vacuum the couch and scrub and organize the silverware drawer.
“I think this is a great opportunity for your babysitter. You’re giving a choice, and I love that,” Lisa B wrote in the comments on the video. “This is a great idea!! Sometimes it’s boring to just to sit and watch TV. This makes time go by quicker and sometimes it’s things I would do to help,” Del added.
Most commenters applauded Katrina’s idea, although some thought she could pay a little better.
“I think $10 is too cheap for some of these tasks considering the amount of work/size of the mess,” Liz wrote. In a follow-up video, Katrina broke down the money she paid the babysitter that night.
Replying to @LISA B │✨ what i’m learning ✨ #greenscreen
Katrina agreed that the prices could go up a bit. “I’ll definitely be restructuring the prices to make this more fair in the future,” she wrote. However, she added that she paid the babysitter $75 for the night just to watch her 2-year-old son, who was asleep most of the time.
All in all, the sitter made $28.75 an hour, tax-free. Not bad at all.
In another follow-up, Katrina interviewed the babysitter, who said she enjoyed making some extra money. “That sounds great,” she said.
What questions do you have for the newly famous babysitter? She’s along for the ride, and enjoys the spotlight. Loving the money, and crushing the jobs we leave for her. Sorry friends, but she’s not available to book-this kid is wayyy to busy between date night babysitting for us, earning perfect grades, being involved in a zillion after school activiites, and taking night time Fire/EMS classes at night so she can start her CAREER fresh out of high school. Do I sound a little proud?!?

After moving through the early years of legalized sports betting relatively unscathed from controversy, the NBA had its first big betting scandal arrive late in March courtesy of Jontay Porter.
Some questionable prop betting activity on Porter in two games in which he removed himself with an injury or illness raised red flags and launched an NBA investigation that ultimately resulted in Porter being given a lifetime ban from the league. The NBA found Porter knowingly gave bettors information regarding his health status and then made sure he played in the games to ensure his prop bets went active before pulling himself out early to ensure the unders those bettors wagered on hit. The league also found he bet on 13 NBA games, winning over $21,000, while a member of the Raptors G League affiliate, including at least one bet on the Raptors to lose (in a parlay which lost).
That all, unsurprisingly, resulted in a lifetime ban for Porter, but there are plenty of takeaways and lessons to be learned by the league, players, fans, and media from this saga.
1. An $80,000 Prop Bet Parlay On A Bench Player Will Raise Some Eyebrows
There’s a lot to get to with this story, but I have to start with the thing my brain just can’t get past, which is that these idiots really thought they’d get away with an $80,000 prop bet parlay on Jontay Porter to win $1.1 million without the sportsbooks going, “Hey, wait a minute.” Charles Barkley once offered the sage advice of “America, do not commit crimes with checks,” and we might need him to refresh that for the Jontay Porter situation. Every time we get any kind of athlete betting story — whether it be Calvin Ridley betting NFL games or the Alabama baseball coach relaying info on a pitcher to a friend in Ohio — they all seem to miss the fact that when you log onto an online sportsbook or go to a physical book, just like walking into one of Terry Benedict’s hotel, someone is always watching.
They won’t stop you in the immediate, but they’ll happily flag the action and send it to the proper authorities or league to deal with. You might get away with small wagers, but as soon as you start putting up big sums on games or props that otherwise don’t attract much action, you have just set off an alarm somewhere.
2. This Is Why Leagues Like Legal Sports Betting
While there are absolutely problems with people having immediate, 24/7 access to sports betting on their phones and the addictive quality of sports betting, the leagues love it because it’s regulated and because legal books flag this kind of action. Unregulated bookies aren’t going to call up the league and tell them there’s something questionable going on, because, well, their entire operation is questionable. A great example of this is what baseball is going through right now with Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, and how that only came to light due to a federal investigation into that illegal bookmaking enterprise. The leagues have certainly enjoyed the financial benefits of sportsbooks wanting to be league partners, but they also enjoy having a relationship with the books to allow them to be aware quickly of this sort of activity (and have records).
There are conversations to be had about legal sports betting, how sportsbooks can be predatory, and the problems that can arise from giving people easy access to betting on their phones. But in terms of the integrity of the sports themselves, legal betting is a huge help in curbing match fixing and game manipulation because everything gets tracked and the systems in place allow for investigations like this to happen. The spike in gambling controversies and legal betting do go hand-in-hand to an extent, but a big part of that is it’s now much easier to track and much harder to hide shaky behavior if done at a legal book. So, while I have laughed at jokes about this being a topic of discussion on NBA shows sponsored by DraftKings and FanDuel, this scenario (plus, yes, the money) is exactly why the league wants those places as partners.
3. Would They Have Done This If A Superstar Was Involved?
Some have wondered if the league would handle this the same way if one of their superstars faced similar allegations. The truth is, it’s far less likely that situation would arise, as those players have far less incentive to participate in something like this by virtue of making hundreds of millions of dollars. But of course, gambling addiction can reach anyone, so it’s totally possible that could happen.
I think the answer is yes, particularly if the facts were as clear as they were in this case. If they had documentation of conversations with bettors to manipulate an outcome and a paper trail of bets made on basketball, I really believe a lifetime ban would arrive all the same no matter the caliber of player. Perhaps I am naive, but also the NBA has just set that as precedent, meaning it’d be far more difficult for them to go in a different direction if and when this happens again — integrity of the game is the single most important thing in the eyes of the league, and even if LeBron James or Steph Curry jeopardizes that, it’s a gigantic problem.
All that said, I have little doubt that the league office was fairly relieved to learn the first real betting scandal they needed to handle involved a player of Jontay Porter’s caliber. That saved some sleepless nights over coming to the realization they’d have to ban a star, and instead they were able to set a precedent and use a bench player on a two-way deal as an example of what will happen if you do this, without losing someone from the league that is particularly notable.
4. Will This Deter Others?
While we won’t know for sure, the answer is “to a degree.” Players should learn that it’s not easy to outsmart the books in these kinds of schemes. If it seems too easy to make a quick $1.1 million by throwing a prop bet parlay, then it probably is. I think most players will realize that the money made from a scheme to throw bets is not enough to replace the salary they’ll make over a career, particularly guys that are firmly in the league — which, again, is why I don’t expect anything like this to happen with a star caliber guy.
However, there’s almost always someone who thinks they have a plan that is foolproof. I expect at some point down the line someone will get talked into another scheme and throw away a basketball career for a quick payday. I doubt that is a prominent player, but eventually someone will think they’ve cracked the code and learn the lesson Porter did.
In the series premiere of Apple TV‘s new historical drama, Franklin, the founding father can be seen passing gas or having a “fart moment” as it’s been described. Michael Douglas would like you to know that was all his doing.
During a recent appearance on The Jess Cagle Show, Douglas was thankful when co-host Julie Cunningham brought up the flatulent event and accurately noted that Benjamin Franklin was a hilarious guy who wrote an essay titled “Fart Proudly.” Apparently, Douglas, who plays the titular character in the series, has already been battling it out with critics who took issue with the gassy scene.
“That was my addition to the script was actually, because I read this book,” Douglas said. “I mean, we did get a couple of criticisms of this show about, ‘Ugh, they try to show him farting,’ and I said, ‘Well,’ so I’m sending him this. I’m sending people these critics who brought this up to send him this book on Franklin. This is ‘Fart Proudly,’ okay? So, he learned about this, and he was very proud. He wrote a whole book about it.”
“I like the fact that you’re sending critics books about farting,” Cunningham said with a laugh. “Something about that is very funny, Michael Douglas.”
Here’s the official synopsis:
Based on Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff’s book, “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,” Franklin explores the thrilling story of the greatest gamble of Benjamin Franklin’s career. In December 1776, Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments, but his passion and power are put to the test when — as the fate of American independence hangs in the balance — he embarks on a secret mission to France.
Lana Del Rey will be returning to Coachella this Friday for the last of the festival’s two weekends. As one of the headliners, Del Rey brought her all during the first weekend, heading to the stage on a motorcycle and performing fan-favorite selections across her catalog.
However, some who are going for weekend two might be wondering if she’ll keep things the same — or have some other surprises in store. Here’s what to know.
Will Lana Del Rey Have Surprise Guests At Coachella 2024 Weekend 2?
Right after, she shocked the crowd by bringing out Billie Eilish, and the two covered Eilish’s “Ocean Eyes” before dueting on “Video Games.”
Her final guest of the set was welcoming her collaborator Jack Antonoff to do “Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have, But I Have It,” only she was a hologram and he was at the piano.
While it’s unclear still if Del Rey will be able to bring the exact same guests this time around, as nothing has fully been confirmed, fans are still in for an incredible show no matter what.
One of the best Apple TV+ shows on the streaming service isn’t winding down anytime soon. For All Mankind, the alternative-history take on the space race, which the series envisions as lost by the U.S. back in 1969. That hook has lasted throughout four seasons thus far, which is longer than some other first-gen Apple TV+ series, and the audience keeps coming for the different make-believe eras as headlined by Joel Kinnaman’s U.S. astronaut. If you feared that the show would run out of steam 40 years into its alternate timeline, then you can formally put those worries aside.
Variety is reporting that For All Mankind will live for at least another season, and not only that, but Apple TV+ has announced a spin-off revolving around the Soviet side of the space race. The series will be called Star City, and Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert (two of the For All Mankind creators alongside Ronald D. Moore) will be showrunning. As the principal series continues to move forward, the spin off will go back to when the Soviets planted their flag.
According to the series’ logline, the new show will “explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers, and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humanity forward.”
More good news: a straight-to-series order means that the spin off has received a full-season greenlight, so it’s full rocket-steam ahead. Stay tuned for word on release dates and more.
Fontaines DC has announced their fourth studio album, Romance. The album is scheduled for release this summer via XL Recordings, and was primarily produced by James Ford.
Ahead of the album, Fontaines DC has shared the song, “Starburster.”
Inspired by a panic attack, the clashy, trippy “Starburster” features lead vocalist Grian Chatten approaching unhinged territory, before arriving to clarity. The song’s accompanying video follow a man finding serenity amid the chaos through his day-to-day routine.
Chatten shared that the album was partially inspired by the anime Akira and the concept of finding love as the world is falling apart.
“I’m fascinated by that – falling in love at the end of the world,” said Chatten in a statement. “The album is about protecting that tiny flame. The bigger armageddon looms, the more precious it becomes,” while O’Connell adds “This record is about deciding what’s fantasy – the tangible world, or where you go in your mind. What represents reality more? That feels almost spiritual for us.”

If you’re a bourbon fan, there’s a good chance you enjoy a little corn sweetness paired with vanilla, caramel, and toasted-oak flavors. When made well and matured properly, bourbon can be mellow, borderline velvety, and sublimely warming. There’s nothing wrong with sticking solely to bourbon if that’s your thing, but if you aren’t branching out to similarly aged spirits, well… your palate is missing out.
While bourbon fans likely will enjoy a glass of extra añejo tequila, mature mezcal, and many other styles of whisk(e)y, we prefer dark rum. When aged in charred oak barrels, this sugarcane juice or molasses-based spirit gains aromas and flavors like dried fruits, bananas, tropical fruits, toasted coconuts, caramel, vanilla, candied nuts, and rich oak.
Below, you’ll find eight of the best dark rums for bourbon fans, ranked based on how well they match a classic bourbon profile.
Appleton Estate is one of the biggest names in the rum world. Its 15-year-old Black River Casks Rum is named for the limestone water used to make Appleton Estate rums. This blend of pot and column still rums were matured for a minimum of 15 years and is known for its notes of tropical fruits, candied nuts, vanilla, and oak.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is a mix of toasted vanilla beans, molasses cookies, candied orange peels, caramelized pineapple, and rich oak. The palate is filled with notes of vanilla beans, caramel candy, almond cookies, light coffee, molasses, dried fruits, and oak. The finish is warming, sweet, and memorable.
Bottom Line:
While this rum has more tropical fruit flavors than many bourbon drinkers are used to, it carries a ton of vanilla, caramel, and oak.
The El Dorado 15 is so much more than simply a 15-year-old aged rum. It’s a blend of EHP Wooden Coffey, the Metal Coffee, the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still, and Versailles Single Wooden Pot Still rums. All rums included were matured for at least 15 full years. The result is a rum featuring notes of candied nuts, tropical fruits, chocolate, vanilla, and oak.
Tasting Notes:
This Guyana-made rum begins with a nose of dried fruits, honey, vanilla beans, brown sugar, butterscotch, and oak. Sipping it reveals notes of toasted vanilla beans, brown sugar, honey, raisins, candied nuts, tropical fruits, and oaky wood. The finish is sweet, spicy, and warming.
Bottom Line:
Like a great bourbon, this highly complex, flavorful dark rum deserves to be sipped neat or on the rocks.
This Venezuelan-made rum is a blend of copper pot still rums that were all made with sugarcane juice. They’re matured for as long as twelve years in barrels that formerly held bourbon whiskey. This results in a complex, sippable rum with notes of caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, fruit, and oak.
Tasting Notes:
Before your first sip, you’ll be met with a nose of wintry spices, toffee, cinnamon, oak, brown sugar, and vanilla beans. Drinking it brings forth notes of butter caramel, toasted vanilla beans, cinnamon candy, pineapple, candied nuts, chocolate, and charred wood. The finish is warming, sweet, and nutty.
Bottom Line:
If you’re all about sweet caramel and nutty flavors when it comes to bourbon, you’ll love this dark rum just as much.
This highly prized dark rum is a blend of specifically selected rums that have been aged for up to ten full years in ex-bourbon barrels. It’s known for its sweet, smooth, sippable flavor profile featuring classic flavors like dried fruits, vanilla, caramel, and rich oak.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of dried fruits toasted vanilla beans, caramelized pineapple, candied nuts, toffee, oak, and light spices greet you before your first sip. Drinking it reveals notes of chocolate, vanilla beans, butterscotch, candied nuts, tropical fruits, spices, and oak. The finish is loaded with vanilla and fruity sweetness.
Bottom Line:
Nutty, sweet, and fruity, this rum has a flavor for every palate. It’s a great choice for bourbon drinkers.
Named for the famed Prohibition-era rum runner Bill McCoy, The Real McCoy 12 Year is a molasses-based rum. It’s a blend of pot-distilled and column-distilled rums that were matured for at least twelve full years in deeply charred ex-bourbon barrels. This results in a complex, rich, award-winning rum perfect for bourbon drinkers.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you’ll find notes of bananas, chocolate fudge, oaky wood, brown sugar, dried fruits, and spices. The palate is filled with flavors like candied orange peels, dark chocolate, charred oak, vanilla, toffee, and bourbon sweetness. The finish is a mix of peppery spice, oak, and caramel sweetness,
Bottom Line:
This rum is a must-buy for bourbon drinkers looking to get into rum. It has everything fans of both styles crave.
Flor de Caña is matured in small white oak ex-bourbon barrels that are sealed with plantain leaves. Mature for up to 18 years, this award-winning dark rum is known for its mix of vanilla, caramel, and oak bourbon-like flavors as well as tropical fruits, and dried fruit rum-centric flavors.
Tasting Notes:
A lot is going on with this rum’s nose. There are scents of candied orange peels, butterscotch, brown sugar, cinnamon candy, and toasted vanilla beans. On the palate, you’ll find notes of toffee candy, wintry spices, chocolate, vanilla beans, dried fruits, and rich oaky wood. The finish is a mix of candied nuts, caramel, and wood.
Bottom Line:
When it comes to smooth, sippable dark rums for bourbon whiskey drinkers, you can do much worse than this sublimely balanced sipper.
You might look at Zacapa No. 23 and assume it’s a 23-year-old dark rum. It was made using the Solera aging system of rotating barrels. It’s a blend that runs between six and 23 years old (hence the name). The barrels used for maturation include those used for American whiskey, and various sherries including Pedro Ximenez casks.
Tasting Notes:
Complex aromas of candied nuts, toasted vanilla beans, butterscotch, pineapple, sticky toffee, and oak make for a welcoming start. The palate is filled with bourbon-centric flavors like pipe tobacco, fresh leather, raisins, toasted vanilla beans, cinnamon candy, toffee, and spices. The finish is a warming mix of sweetness and spice.
Bottom Line:
Zacapa No. 23 is a great dark rum choice for bourbon fans. While it has some of the tropical fruit flavors you’d expect from a rum, it’s heavy on the aromas and flavors bourbon fans crave.
This limited-release rum was made using the Solera aging method. Matured completely in ex-Jack Daniel’s barrels, the oldest rum included in this blend spent 30 years aging. The result is a nuanced, rich, sippable dark rum worthy of the biggest bourbon fans thanks to flavors like caramel, vanilla, tobacco, and dried fruits.
Tasting Notes:
Candied orange peels, pipe tobacco, toasted vanilla beans, sticky toffee, dried fruits, and charred oak, this rum’s nose has everything bourbon drinkers value. The same goes for the palate as it’s loaded with flavors like vanilla beans, honey, dried fruits, toffee, gentle island spices, oak, leather, and caramel candy. The finish is warm and lingering.
Bottom Line:
If you only try one of these rums, make it this one. It ticks all the bourbon boxes and is one that you’ll not want to miss.
