Hurkle-durkle might be the silliest word ever, but it could be the missing step in your self-care.
Hurkle-durkling simply means to linger in bed long past the time when you “should” already be up. It’s a Scottish term dating back to the 1800s—-originally having more to do with sitting in a crouching position either for warmth or secrecy, but eventually taking on a more relaxed and positive connotation.
It’s a word that only the biggest etymology enthusiast would know, had it not been plucked from obscurity thanks to TikTok.
The viral trend seems to have started with actress Kira Kosarin sharing it as her “word of the day,” joking that “I do be hurkling, and I do be durkling and once I’ve hurkled my last durkle in a given morning I will get up, but I’m a big fan of a hurkle-durkle.”
One woman hailing from Scotland even joked, “[The Scottish] knew it was so critical to well-being they made a whole term about it. So no I’m not being lazy or wasting my life. I’m practicing an ancestral right of passage. I’m connecting with my culture and heritage.”
At this point you might be thinking, wait, isn’t this just bed-rotting?
Bed-rotting, another TikTok trend about lying in bed, and hurkle-durkling are similar, but have very different contexts. Bed-rotting has more to do with symptoms of burnout and fatigue, whereas hurkle-durkling is a bit more hygge, if you will. It’s seen as a pleasurable activity meant to promote rest for overall well being. Plus a hurkle-durkle has an end in sight, whereas bedrotting can take up an entire weekend, or longer.
And now matter how silly hurkle-durkle sounds, it could be seriously good for us. Research has shown that sleeping in, even a couple days a week, reduce the chances of a heart attack or stroke by 63%, especially for folks who get less than 6 hours of sleep through the rest of the week. (So, everyone, basically). Not only that, but getting those few extra minutes of shut-eye from hitting the snooze can help increase alertness and boost our mood.
In fact, Kristin Wilson, a licensed professional counselor and chief experience officer, told Yahoo Life that perhaps so many people are leaning into silly, catchy terms like hurkle-durkle because they make rest and self-care, activities many Americans “are hesitant to celebrate and fully embrace,” more accessible.
“Sometimes our bodies just need a break, and we don’t want to feel guilty about taking time to rest,” she explained. “Giving this behavior a clever social media name can make it feel more socially acceptable and when it trends and becomes popular, it normalizes the need for relaxation within the community of followers.”
So with that, show yourself some love with a little hurkle-durkle. It’s fun to say, and oh so important to do.
Even though it’s 2023 and schools are much more concerned with protecting children from bullying than in the past, parents still have to be aware that kids will be kids, and having a child with a funny name is bound to cause them trouble.
A mother on Reddit is concerned that her future children will have the unfortunate last name of “Butt,” so she asked people on the namenerds forum to help her convince her husband to name their child something different.
(Note: We’re assuming that the person who wrote the post is a woman because their husband is interested in perpetuating the family name, and if it were a same-sex relationship, a husband probably wouldn’t automatically make that assumption.)
“My husband’s last name is Butt. Can someone please help me illuminate to him why this last name is less than ideal,” she asked the forum. “I totally get we can’t shield kids from everything and I understand the whole family ties thing, but c’mon. Am I being unreasonable by suggesting our future kid either take my name, a hybrid, or a new one altogether?”
The posters on the forum overwhelmingly supported her.
“I can see hubby being a bit of a stickler because he wants to keep the family name, but I find it a bit baffling that he doesn’t get why it would be a concern,” Babelight wrote. “If you have to club him over the head with it, indicate that for children/young persons hearing the name, they would equate it to someone’s last name being ‘Pooh,’ ‘Vaginah’ or ‘Peenis/Peniss.’”
Other posters noted that her opinion is just as valid as her husband’s when naming their child.
“You are absolutely not being unreasonable. Your husband’s last name is objectively pretty awful, and of course, you don’t want your child to have it. Also, even if it wasn’t that bad, you would be still entitled to at least suggest that your child takes your last name since you are also going to be their parent,” SwordfishBrilliant 40 wrote. “Also, he needs to think about his child, let’s be honest, their life is going to be a lot easier with a ‘normal’/not bad’ last name.”
Having a last name like Butt opens a child up to being bullied, which can lead to feelings of rejection, exclusion, isolation, diminished self-esteem and long-term mental health struggles, including depression and anxiety.
“I knew a kid named Zack Butt. Teased relentlessly. At every age,” Kwam26 confirmed.
There is also the practical problem of living in a digital world where algorithms often filter out names deemed offensive. This issue is known as the “Scunthorpe problem.” Back in the late ‘90s, people from the town of Scunthorpe in the UK couldn’t sign up on AOL because a filter blocked out the name due to the offensive term that sits in the middle of it.
The husband is proud of his family heritage and, possibly, of having learned to live with a name that would make most people chuckle. But it’s also understandable that his wife has a real problem bringing a child up in this world with a name that will make them the butt of jokes throughout their lives.
One wonders why this wasn’t discussed before the couple got married.
Going to the gym can be a daunting prospect for a lot of people. It shouldn’t be—the whole point of going to the gym is to exercise, which is something that should universally be applauded—but sometimes it can feel like there’s pressure to be at a certain fitness level or have a certain physique before stepping foot in the door.
For people who are heavier, gym culture can be especially intimidating. Unfortunately, not everyone remembers to practice kindness and fatphobia appears to remain a fairly tolerated prejudice. That shouldn’t stop people with big bodies from enjoying all that fitness centers have to offer, but all too often, it does.
It hasn’t stopped a woman named Steph from working out regularly at her gym, albeit with some trepidation. As she shared in a hugely viral TikTok, she’s experienced some unkind behavior at the gym that made her nervous when a man approached her recently. But her description of the encounter ultimately demonstrated how powerful a few positive words can be.
In a video made from her car just after leaving the gym, Steph explained that a “hardcore” gym-goer who is “super tough” and covered in tattoos had came up to talk to her. Her initial response was to be afraid of what he was going to say to her, based on previous experience. She shared in the video how hard it’s been to stay steady with her workouts, especially with medications she’s on making her body hold onto weight, but she’s been working hard to be consistent. She steeled herself for whatever he might say.
She didn’t expect it to be this: “I’ve seen you in here every week, almost every day. I’ve seen you in here every week—and I’m proud of you.” Nor did she expect that such simple words of encouragement could make such a huge impact.
People had a lot to say about the interchange and Steph’s emotional response to it.
“People do not realize, how one person can change everything,” wrote one commenter.
“Girl you are CRUSHING IT,” wrote another. “That man you encountered is what real men do. Encourage. Support. Be human! It isn’t hard! ❤️”
“No one knows your story, your struggles. You’re doing the dang thing and that takes courage and strength. You. Keep. Going. I’m proud of you too!” shared another.
More and more words of encouragement flooded Steph’s comment section, and people on Upworthy’s Instagram page weighed in as well.
“I’m a fitness coach and this made me cry 😢 just having someone say they are proud of you can move mountains for so many of us who didn’t/ don’t get the praise growing up,” wrote one person.
“Who knows? He may be going through something too and saw a determined, consistent, fellow traveler,” wrote another. “You share your Truth so powerfully. You may not know how many people will see this and be encouraged by your honesty. I’m in awe that you show up for YOURSELF every day. And as for the rude and ill-mannered? Well they struggle too—just to be decent kind human beings. Some people have not been shown Empathy and therefore do not know how to use that muscle. You are beautiful, smart, articulate, wise and a woman who knows where she’s headed. Keep walking, head up knowing there are many many more who do empathize, who see you and are on your side❤️”
“It’s amazing to think about how this man’s single act of kindness, spread through you to affect us all in a positive way,” shared another. “This made all of our days, and I’m crying tears of joy while I write this. Please thank him from all of us the next time you see him, if you’re comfortable with that. And thank you for sharing! ❤️”
Indeed, thanks to both Steph and the hardcore, tattooed gym bro for being wonderful examples for us all. We never know what a small act of kindness or a few words of encouragement will do to make someone’s life significantly better, but it’s always worth trying.
Alan Ritchson left at least one The View co-host unable to contain herself after regaling the panel with a real-life Reacher moment. The hulking actor and Hilary Swank were on-hand to promote their new film, Ordinary Angels, which stars Ritchson as a struggle widower trying to raise his two daughters. It’s a much more dramatic role for Ritchson, but apparently, he can’t escape being the muscle-bound hero even when he’s not working.
According to the actor, he was recently on a date with his wife in Old Montreal when they stumbled upon a thief breaking into car. Despite his wife’s protests, Ritchson went after the culprit. Although, he realized partway through the chase that it was probably not the smartest move.
“We’re running side-by-side and we look at each other and go, ‘How does this end?’” Ritchson told The View panel. “I’m not sure how either of us get out of this situation. We’ve taken it pretty far.”
Eventually, the two men are locked in a fight to the finish, which turns out to be more of a light tussle.
“He goes to put his hands on me. He’s like running but he’s got his fists up,” the star said. “I was like, ‘Don’t do this dude.’ He shoves me and so I gently … I don’t want to hurt him … like multiple spins into a building wall and he just sat down. That was it. That was really it. We got him.”
While the Reacher star tried to downplay his heroics, the anecdote was enough for Sara Haines to exclaim that Ritchson “just got hotter!”
Ordinary Angels arrives in theaters on February 22.
It is not unlike Tom Sandoval to say something outlandish and offensive considering he’s been doing it on TV for over a decade with Vanderpump Rules. Last year, when it was revealed that he had been cheating on his long-time girlfriend Ariana Madix with fellow co-star Rachel Leviss, some people thought he would change his tune, reevaluate his life and quietly fade into the background of the Bravoverse like many before him. But because he’s Tom Sandoval, he took the opportunity to be the most hated guy on TV and dug himself into a darker, deeper hole.
Sandoval was interviewed by The New York Times to reflect on the past year after he became the “most hated man in America,” and not just because of his stint on The Masked Singer. When asked why he thought the scandal “got so big,” he went off the rails more than usual. “I’m not a pop-culture historian really, but I witnessed the O.J. Simpson thing and George Floyd and all these big things, which is really weird to compare this to that, I think, but do you think in a weird way it’s a little bit the same?” he asked. The answer is no.
You’d think that one comment was a fluke? Not for this Worm With A Mustache. Elsewhere in the interview, Sandoval doubled down on comparing himself to other high-profile cases. “I feel like I got more hate than Danny Masterson, and he’s a convicted rapist,” he added.
The interviewer, Irina Aleksander, then added a note to give him the benefit of the doubt. “I think I knew what he meant. He was trying to express the oddity of becoming the symbolic center of a nationwide discussion and a major news story; what he communicated instead was something more honest, which is just how much the experience had made him lose perspective.” Sandoval was likely just commenting on the media frenzy surrounding him, but he should not have compared his situation to two very different circumstances.
After the interview, Aleksander wrote that “a Bravo publicist rang me late on a Friday. Some of what Sandoval had said had gotten back to Bravo, and everyone was concerned. What was it that he said about O.J. Simpson and George Floyd exactly?”
Unfortunately, this is not the first and will not be the last time Sandoval says or does something out of pocket. This is a man who got a piece of bacon tattooed on his butt for no reason. We have not seen the last of him.
It’s still early, but Madame Web will likely go down as one of the worst movies of 2024. And — this is not too early to say — one of the worst comic book movies of all-time, alongside stinkers like Morbius and Catwoman. The reviews are brutal, but one of the most devastating reviews wasn’t written by a critic. It came from Mike Flanagan, the director of Ouija: Origin of Evil and Gerald’s Game and creator of The Haunting of Hill House and The Fall of the House of Usher.
Flanagan didn’t want to straight up trash the film; that wouldn’t be cool to Madame Web director S. J. Clarkson (who directed a memorable season one episode of Succession, so I don’t put the blame on her). Instead, he found another method. Here is the review, published in full from Flanagan’s personal Letterboxd
We come to this place… for magic.
We come to the theater to laugh, to cry, to care.
Because we need that, all of us:
that indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim,
and we go somewhere we’ve never been before;
not just entertained, but somehow reborn…. together.
Dazzling images, on a huge silver screen.
Sound that I can feel.
Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
Our heroes feel like the best part of us,
and stories feel perfect and powerful.
Because here…
They are.
Sound familiar? It’s Nicole Kidman’s speech from her AMC commercial. Flanagan created tags for the review as well, including “exposition to cats,” “fireworks because,” and “wait why is she blind.” He wrote it in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died.
I don’t ask for much, but Mike Flanagan? Please cast Dakota Johnson in your next show. Also, have your next show be about her experience making Madame Web. You can call it The Fall of the House of Spider-Women.

Emma Stone is about to be very jealous. For the first time ever, a Celebrity Jeopardy! winner will have the chance to compete in the Tournament of Champions on the normal version of the classic game show. That lucky celeb: Ike Barinholtz.
Back in February 2023, Barinholtz emerged the victor of Season 1 by besting Patton Oswalt and Wil Wheaton in the final installment. He’s now on his way to the Tournament of Champions where he’ll have his work cut out for him.
In the 2024 Tournament of Champions, which Sony says boasts “the biggest field in ToC history,” Barinholtz will compete alongside 26 “regular” Jeopardy! champions. (His quarterfinals episode airs March 4; see full schedule below.) The contestant field features the players who won the most games since the last Tournament of Champions in 2022, plus six players who advanced out of the Season 37/38 and Season 39 Champions Wildcard competitions, as well as the winners of the Jeopardy! High School Reunion Tournament.
Barinholtz’s episode won’t air until March 4, but again, it marks the first time that a celebrity contestant will get to match wits with competitors from the classic version of Jeopardy!. Whether this tradition will continue remains to be seen, but it would open the door to new Celebrity Jeopardy! champ Lisa Ann Walter to return after the Abbott Elementary star pulled off an impressive win for the latest season.
The Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions starts February 23 on ABC.
Today (February 20), Lightning Bug shared “December Song,” a vulnerable-but-dreamy single that serves to announce their new album, No Paradise. The song pulled inspiration from Greek mythology, as the lead singer Audrey Kang details her struggle with depression, or feeling like there’s a “deep personal winter in the midst of high summer.”
Along with the song’s release, Kang wrote, directed, and filmed the beautiful visuals on a Greek island — as the track was originally inspired by the aftermath of another trip she took.
“I’d just gotten back to New York City after spending every last droplet of energy I had on riding a motorcycle from Nayarit to NYC,” Kang added about the rest of the album’s inspiration.
“When the trip was over, I fell into the lowest low I’ve known,” she continued. “‘December Song’ was my way of giving my life some meaning again, by thinking of my sadness as part of a story, a season. In the song, I retell the myth of Persephone from the perspective of Demeter as she awaits her daughter’s return to a land made barren with grief.”
Check out “December Song” above. Below, find the tracklist and cover art for No Paradise.

Loss and an awareness of our own mortality will visit us all, even iconic, laconic detectives guided by a strictly defined set of morals and codes. If we’re lucky, love will also come around to dazzle and confuse us as well. That’s the journey of Sam Spade on AMC’s Monsieur Spade, a limited series (with the door left open for more) that takes Humphrey Bogart’s character from the 1941 classic The Maltese Falcon and puts him on a new path that, at times, requires him to lean on a few mothballed instincts and that trusty moral compass.
Dexterously crafted by Scott Frank (The Queen’s Gambit) and Tom Fontana (Oz), Monsieur Spade is more than an excuse for Bogart superfan Clive Owen to play the now widowed ex-PI in the French countryside while being pulled into a twisty case involving a precocious girl, a mysterious boy, the church, spying neighbors, and of course, murder. What Frank, Fontana, and Owen have done is explore and expand a character who has been, for more than 80 years, an archetype for masculinity and cool.
In the below interview, which is running following the (season?) finale of the show, we spoke with Owen about finding the right amount of Bogart to bring to that endeavor, what other noir-inspired projects get wrong, whether it’s humbling to play older characters, the appeal of playing toward stoicism, and more.
When we spoke last time, you that you like to push yourself to uncomfortable places when you take on roles. What was uncomfortable about taking this on?
It’s a big challenge when you take a part on that’s very well-known. You’re following in the great Humphrey Bogart’s footsteps and you’re there to be shot at and compared to, so there is a challenge in that. Rather than do what probably I should have done, which is go, “I’m going to put my own spin on it and forget the original,” I did the opposite and leaned into the original because I was such a fan of it and I love the genre and that style. I went the other way and said, “I want to feel the origins of Spade. I want to feel the origins of The Maltese Falcon in this project.”
Is there risk with this one because you care so much about the source material and the character? Is it almost like the challenge of not letting yourself down?
Yeah, but then to be challenged and put yourself in that place is always a good thing. To be a little scared and to have that, is a healthy thing. And when I got the scripts off Scott (Frank), my big thing was, “Okay, I’ve got the language here,” because he’s such a great writer of dialogue, “It’s now about me living up to that.” That’s not always the case. That’s often not the case. You’re often doing stuff where you’re trying to breathe life into something, and here’s the situation where you go, “It’s all there for you. Now don’t mess it up.”
How do you decide what to add, what to subtract, how to make sure you’re not playing just a Humphrey Bogart impression, but still making it your own?
What I did is I really looked at him vocally of what he does, his rhythms, his intonations. I wasn’t trying to sound the same as him, but I wanted to understand how he shaped dialogue when he does his things. And I learned some key things that I applied, and when I talked to Scott, I told him what I was doing and I said, “Don’t freak out. It’s not going to be an impersonation, but I’m really leaning into the rhythms and intonations and I want to get… not only because it’s good for noir and the origins of the part,” but luckily Scott really, really nailed the style of speech.
And I discovered some key things about Bogart. I discovered that he actually speaks super-fast and you think he’s laconic and laid back, but actually he’s super nimble with dialogue and can really rip through it at some speed, and in actual fact, if the dialogue’s good enough, that’s when it works best. And I remember calling Scott when I realized this and said, “A lot of the big speeches, a lot of the scenes with a lot of dialogue, it feels like it will really sing and play when we put pace on it.” And that also is very period, because we’re currently living in a time where everyone’s talking about their feelings, wanting to express their feelings. It’s very important that everyone has that. Characters like Sam Spade, they didn’t do that. And ultimately, it really plays and sings when you don’t hang about and you don’t overindulge and you don’t over-emote.
Is that something that resonates with you personally, being more stoic, less open about emotion? Are you the type of person who shares your emotions more or are you more laconic, laid-back?
It certainly appeals to me in an acting sense. That’s the kind of acting I’m a fan of, where you’re discovering things. For me, acting’s all about subtext, and you’re saying or appearing to be something but you’re feeling something else. That, to me, is when acting’s fun, when you’ve got the two things going on at the same time.
Root one emotion in acting for me is never that attractive. I don’t like watching it, I don’t like doing it. All of us are much more complicated than that. The joy of acting is when you can be playing both things all the time, so there’s always something else going on. And I think characters like Sam Spade, they’re not unfeeling people. They do have deep feelings, but it’s just not over-expressed, and the joy is to try to show it without overdoing it.
Where you’re playing him at this point in his life, obviously this is a man who’s being made aware of his mortality. He’s feeling the power of loss and the power of love. Can you tell me a little about the appeal of playing a character at this point in his life as opposed to right after The Maltese Falcon?
Well, I think the most interesting thing in this series that you wouldn’t expect from him is that he’s been opened up because he fell in love, and we discover how he ended up staying in France, and it was because he fell in love with somebody and then lost that person.
And so we instantly are meeting him in a more sensitive, opened-up state than is usually the case with someone like Spade. And gradually, during the show, he’s brought back to his old ways and he’s brought out of his quiet life because ultimately, these characters, when they discover wrongdoing, they have a very strong moral compass and they’ve got to get in there and do the right thing. And that’s where we find it.
And there’s great fun to be played with the fact that he’s aging and the fact that he’s got to give up smoking and the fact that he’s put the gun away, he’s put the hat away. He’s trying to live a different life, but you still feel the origins of Dashiell Hammett’s character.
You’ve played many dynamic characters. Is it humbling at all to play a character who is in his older years and who’s not necessarily considering himself a man of action anymore? Obviously, there’s still action in this — he throws a few wonderful punches and some great kicks. I love the interrogation scene. But is it humbling and does it make you feel older?
No, no. It’s not humbling at all. No. It is a reality. I am getting older, but also that was the spin we were always doing. The interrogation scene you’re talking about, which I adored doing because the writing was so sharp and incisive, I relished playing those scenes, and they’re the times where you see the old Sam Spade. And I’m not going to lie; when Scott gave me the opportunity to do those kinds of scenes, I relished them.
Could you ever envision a life for yourself, like what Sam’s going through; you go live in another country, divorce yourself completely from your career and your life, retire like that? Is that a bucket list item for you?
Now and again, for sure, but no, I couldn’t do that all the time. I enjoy what I do too much. I think a bit of that is great, and I certainly would welcome some time doing that, but I couldn’t live a full life like that, no. It energizes me to work. It keeps me alive and active and interested.
Why it is that you think that this character and this film have endured for, at this point, almost 85 years?
I think it’s something to do with what we’ve talked about before about the restraint and the not overdoing it, not being sentimental, not over-explaining it. I think it’s something to do with that. I think it has something to do with a very strong morality, in terms of however hard-boiled he is, however tough he is, we know that he’s trying to do the right thing. And if something’s wronged around him, he’s got to get involved and try and help because these characters, they have a strong moral compass and they’re trying to do the right thing, even though on the surface, it looks like they’re tough and acerbic, they have big hearts and they do feel things and want to do the right thing.
You’ve been involved with a few noir-ish projects. Of the ones outside of those — films that other people make that take a stab at this noir-ish world and try to take the influence of this film, what do you think they get wrong? Without naming other films, obviously.
I think you’ve got to approach it in a fresh, alive way, and to be too much of a pastiche, and just to hit all the cliches isn’t enough. You’ve got to breathe life into it. You’ve got to feel that what is happening is happening now for these characters, and that we’re not stuck in some respectful, historical, pale imitation. You’ve got to make it feel, it’s happening as you’re watching it.
You have said before that you have a Maltese Falcon poster on your wall. I’m curious what other posters you have on your wall from movies. What other movies mean that much to you?
I used to collect movie posters and then I stopped and sort of drifted into something else. But what I still have, I have a brilliant original, French original, of The Big Sleep, which is half of Bogart’s face, half of Bacall’s face, which is one of my favorites. I’ve got a small Casablanca, and I’ve actually got, I think, a pretty rare original of Buster Keaton’s The Cameraman.
All episodes of ‘Monsieur Spade’ are available to stream now on AMC+.
