These guiding principles allow Let’s Cuddle to create products that improve your sleep and help make the world a better place.

The Cuddler Weighted Blanket

The journey begins with the collection of plastic waste, which is then crushed and transformed into a fibrous form. This material is spun into yarn, which is subsequently knitted or woven into the fabric used for the blankets. By transforming waste into something comfortable and luxurious, Let’s Cuddle demonstrates that sustainable practices can go hand in hand with quality and comfort.

The impact of upcycling plastic waste is undeniably significant. So far, Let’s Cuddle has repurposed over 842,000 plastic bottles, with an ambitious goal of reaching 1,000,000 and beyond. By giving these plastic bottles a new life as a part of The Cuddler Weighted Blanket, the company helps reduce waste and raises awareness of the importance of sustainability and responsible consumption.

The Cuddler’s evenly distributed weight helps to reduce anxiety by calming the body’s fight-or-flight response and stimulating the production of sleep hormones. Improved sleep quality is another advantage, as the blanket’s weight encourages the body to stay asleep longer. The gentle pressure of The Cuddler also helps relax muscles, slowing the heart rate and easing breathing. Finally, using a weighted blanket can boost your mood by increasing the production of feel-good hormones and raising energy levels once you wake up.

Paolo Banchero Has Been Named The 2022-23 NBA Rookie Of The Year

This year’s Rookie of the Year race didn’t feature an awful lot of drama, as Paolo Banchero put forth a terrific rookie season in Orlando and seemed to run away with the award fairly early in the year. On Tuesday, the league made things official as the TNT crew announced Banchero had won the award over Walker Kessler and Jaylin Williams.

Banchero finished the season averaging 20 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, helping the young Magic take a stride forward to a 34-48 record, as they only got better as the year went along. Banchero dealt with some of the expected rookie growing pains, struggling with efficiency (42.7/29.8/73.8 shooting splits), but he was able to put his imprint on games and make a positive impact on the Magic, serving as their leading scorer on the season.

The other finalists for the award were rookies that stepped into prominent roles on surprisingly good teams, with Walker Kessler immediately thriving as a defensive stopper in Utah and Jalen Williams providing two-way value in the frontcourt in Oklahoma City. While both of them had tremendous seasons and have bright futures ahead of them, Banchero serving as a focal point in Orlando allowed him to put up production that was just unmatched by the Class of 2022.

People Are Freaking Out Over Austin Butler Being Bald As Feyd-Rautha In ‘Dune: Part Two’

The first time Hollywood turned Frank Herbert’s dense, dizzying Dune into a movie didn’t go so well (though it’s since become a cult item). But the Mulligan sure did. The masses went nuts for Denis Villeneuve’s trippy adaptation in late 2021, which did well enough that everyone (whose characters didn’t eat it, that is) regrouped to film the novel’s second half. The production even nabbed some good new gets, among them Florence Pugh, Léa Seydoux, Christopher Walken, and recent first-time Oscar-nominee Austin Butler.

Speaking of, after the sequel’s trailer bowed at CinemaCon, Butler was one of the things people talked about. The ad hasn’t been made public yet, but it reportedly has some sandworm-riding, plenty of Zendaya, some war stuff.

Then there’s Butler. He plays Feud-Rautha, the sadistic other son of Stellan Skarsgard’s Baron Harkonen. In the 1984 version, which nearly destroyed the career of director David Lynch, that role was played by a grinning, orange-haired Sting. Butler’s take is a little different. For one thing, as per Gizmodo, he has “bright white skin and no hair.” He’s so pale that his scenes “look almost completely black and white.” That’s pretty different!

In real life, Butler has great hair, and he had great hair when he played the King in Elvis. When a new poster showing off a bald Butler went public, the public freaked out.

Dune: Part Two is due in theaters on November 3, almost two years after the first one bowed.

Cris Collinsworth Thinks The Chiefs Should Draft A Quarterback With Their First-Round Pick

The Kansas City Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. The NFL’s reigning Most Valuable Player is football’s big bad final boss right now, the guy who has essentially taken the mantle from Tom Brady as the QB who needs to be beaten for any team in the AFC with aspirations of winning a championship. Last season, no one was able to do that, and Mahomes lifted the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in five seasons as a starter.

Cris Collinsworth knows this, but despite that, he thinks the Chiefs should use their first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on Hendon Hooker, a quarterback out of Tennessee. While Hooker is a very good player — Collinsworth said he couldn’t leave him out of his mock because “I like him too much” — well, yeah.

The logic that Collinsworth uses here is that the only thing that can prevent Kansas City from being a contender over the next few years is Mahomes getting hurt “for four or five games,” meaning that he believes that Hooker is essentially insurance against a worst-case scenario.

“If you get Hendon Hooker for the next five years by taking him, Lamar Jackson-like, at the end of the first round, so you get him for that extra year, which you’re gonna need, I think he’ll be ready after the knee injury,” Collinsworth said. “He’s 25 years old, I get it, ACL, but he does a lot of good things.”

Collinsworth is certainly right about this, as Hooker was a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender for the Vols last season before he tore up his knee. And later during the full segment, it was pointed out that Mahomes’ longtime backup, Chad Henne, played an important role in the team winning the Super Bowl both times that they’ve won it during the Mahomes era. Henne retired this offseason, and Blaine Gabbert was brought in to fill in when Mahomes is out.

Still, taking a player on the off chance Mahomes can’t play for an extended period over using ie pick on a player who could help them when they’re at full strength is a curious decision, especially considering the fact that the team has needs at a few other positions. They could use a little help at receiver and running back (unless they’re really high on Isiah Pacheco after last year, which would make sense), their offensive line could always use some reinforcements, and two of their most productive pass rushers last year, Frank Clark and Michael Danna, are free agents. Add in that Mahomes is only two years and four months older than Hooker, and we are going to respectfully disagree with Collinsworth on this one.

Rupert Murdoch Reportedly May Have Canned Tucker Carlson To Piss Off His Ex-Fiancee, Who’s Apparently A Tucker Superfan

It’s been a day since Fox News shockingly canned Tucker Carlson, and they still haven’t explained why. The conspiracy theory-loving host was their biggest star, so the reason must be a good one. Did it have something to do with the Dominion lawsuit? The Abby Grossberg lawsuits? His casual sexism? Who knows. But a new report suggests the reason may be far, far pettier than any of this.

A source tells Vanity Fair that the decision came right from the top, which is to say from Rupert Murdoch. On Friday night, Carlson delivered a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a speech that teemed with religious overtones. He painted a bleak portrait of America, which he said was locked in a battle between “good” and “evil” over issues like (of course) trans people. But he said mere debating won’t solve the problem. The answer, he said, was praying.

That didn’t sit right with Murdoch, the source said. “That stuff freaks Rupert out,” they claimed. “He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk.”

But it’s not just that Murdoch is skeeved out by religious talk. For him, it was personal:

Rupert Murdoch was perhaps unnerved by Carlson’s messianism because it echoed the end-times worldview of Murdoch’s ex-fiancée Ann Lesley Smith, the source said. In my May cover story, I reported that Murdoch and Smith called off their two-week engagement because Smith had told people Carlson was “a messenger from God.” Murdoch had seen Carlson and Smith discuss religion firsthand. In late March, Carlson had dinner at Murdoch’s Bel Air vineyard with Murdoch and Smith, according to the source. During dinner, Smith pulled out a bible and started reading passages from the Book of Exodus, the source said. “Rupert just sat there and stared,” the source said. A few days after the dinner, Murdoch and Smith called off the wedding. By taking Carlson off the air, Murdoch was also taking away his ex’s favorite show.

So did Tucker Carlson lose his third big-time media gig because Rupert Murdoch wanted to get revenge on his latest ex, a Tucker superfan? Crazier things have happened. Indeed, if true it’s so wild that even the Succession writers room couldn’t dream up a twist this outlandish.

There’s one other strange detail buried in the report: A source claims Tucker “wasn’t even fired and remains on the Fox News payroll.” If that’s legit, then perhaps Fox News is trying to avoid another lawsuit. Or maybe they just don’t want him appearing anywhere else just yet.

Watch Black Thought Surprise Talib Kweli, Rakim, And Bob James On Stage At The Blue Note Jazz Club

When Uproxx’s People’s Party with Talib Kweli descended on the Blue Note Jazz Club in February, we expected some excitement. There was cultural icon Jon Stewart rocking up to the venue with no team, no security, and no publicists to sit down with Kweli for a sprawling interview. There was Jim Jones fully in his swag-bag, reflecting on Dipset’s history and legacy (episode to come). There was jazz legend Bob James discussing his place in hip-hop and his many widely sampled tracks including its most sampled track, “Nautilus.” Have you caught that one?

Really, the whole run demands your attention, And it concluded with a three-night Blue Note residency by Kweli — featuring a lineup of absolute luminaries. Rakim. Bob James. DMC. Smif-n-Wessun.

It was a run. And as if the listed cameos weren’t attention-grabbing enough, on night two of the residency Mr. “Your Favorite Rapper’s Favorite Rapper’s Favorite Rapper,” Black Thought walked in off the street and took the stage. Considering how often he’s asked to freestyle on his regular gig, as part of the house band for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and that he’s a stone-cold rap GOAT, it was no surprise to see BT assassinate the mic. Still, every time you encounter his freewheeling vocal dexterity, it’s going to be a full-on, audience-galvanizing moment.

Especially when Kweli asked Bob James and his house band, “The Whiskey Boys,” to play a rendition of Mobb Deep’s “The Learning (Burn).” For those who don’t know, that’s the beat that Black Thought spat on when he performed his very very viral cipher on Funk Flex right around the time The Roots were getting critiqued for not being political enough. Making this performance sort of a remix of that widely shared moment. Check the original performance below and the Blue Note performance above.

More content from the Blue Note run featuring Kweli, Black Thought, Rakim, Smif-n-Wessun, and more to come!

All The Best New R&B From This Week That You Need To Hear

Sometimes the best new R&B can be hard to find, but there are plenty of great rhythm-and-blues tunes to get into if you have the time to sift through the hundreds of newly released songs every week. So that R&B heads can focus on listening to what they really love in its true form, we’ll be offering a digest of the best new R&B songs that fans of the genre should hear every Friday.

Since the last update of this weekly R&B and Afrobeats column, we’ve received plenty of music and news from the genre’s artists.

Frank Ocean had a catastrophic set as the headliner for Coachella weekend one due to an injury and he eventually dropped out for weekend two. The Weeknd delivered “Double Fantasy” with Future, the first piece of music from his upcoming HBO show The Idol while Janet Jackson launched her Together Again Tour. Elsewhere, Dinner Party performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, HER was announced as a producer on the upcoming Broadway show Here Lies Love, and Kali Uchis released her “Moonlight” video.

Roy Woods — “Young Boy Problems”

It’s been a long time coming, but Roy Woods is finally about to release his second album. The Brampton singer prepares for the Mixed Emotions album with “Young Boy Problems.” The alternative-leaning record is a free fall into relief and away from life’s stresses as Roy Woods sings about the day-to-day pains in his world.

Keke Palmer — “Waiting”

Last month, Keke Palmer announced a new album was on the way, and true to her world, she’s back with new music from it. “Waiting” is presumably the first offering from the album and it’s a bouncy record that’s equally light-hearted and focused toward a relationship that has the potential to become an equal exchange of pure love.

Jordan Hawkins — 4Play

North Carolina singer Jordan Hawkins is back with another stellar project to be blown away by. 4Play is a nine-track offering that’s bold, fierce, and as confident as we’ve ever heard him. 4Play lives in the early moments of love with Hawkins making big audacious moves in romance and music. It’s nine big swings backed by the acceptance that “no” is the worst thing he’ll hear.

Garren — “1 Of 1”

California-based singer Garren checks back in with his new single “1 Of 1.” The song touches down a little over a month after he shared his Spiritual Warfare album, and on it, Garren lays out his feelings about a woman and expresses his desire to have alone time with her.

Jon Vinyl — “No Feelings”

There could be something special on the way from Jon Vinyl after his 2022 EP Palisade. He’s back with “No Feelings” which arrives as a straightforward record about a no-good woman who refuses to take accountability, leaving Vinyl with no choice but to move on and declare his feelings as dead.

Olamide & CKay — “Trumpet”

This summer will mark two years since afrobeats singer Olamide’s last album UY Scuti. Hopefully, that trend will come to an end soon as he’s back with “Trumpet” featuring CKay. The sound of ocean waves and the singers’ soothing vocals take up most of the song’s real estate for a record that’s serene and peaceful as the impending summer weather can be.

Bad Boy Timz — “I Salute” Feat. Zlatan

Nigerian afrobeats singer Bad Boy Timz is just a few years removed from his two biggest hits — “Loading” with Olamide and “Move.” Despite the high moments he enjoyed through those records, Bad Boy Timz had yet to release an album. All of that will change at the end of next month with the release of No Bad Boy, No Party. The campaign for that project begins with “I Salute” alongside Zlatan which is the perfect party starter.

Zinoleesky — “Many Things”

Just four months after releasing his Grit & Lust EP, Nigerian afrobeats singer Zinoleesky is back in action with his new song “Many Things.” The somber record presents Zinoleesky in a timid mood as he reflects on the highs and lows he’s experienced with a balanced gratitude for both.

DaShean Porter — Love On Lacie Drive

Meet DaShean Porter, the Atlanta singer who just put his best foot forward with his debut EP Love On Lacie Drive. Through nine songs and two features from Moe Chaieb, Porter uses Love On Lacie Drive to capture the monumental force that is love and falling into it. The undeniable tensions between two people falling for each other and the craving for another second with them are the foundation of this sweet project.

Full Crate — “Show Her The Way” Feat. BJ The Chicago Kid

Almost three years removed from his last album In All Honesty, Armenian singer Full Crate is set to return with his second album A Kid From Yerevan at the beginning of June. While the wait continues for the project’s full 12 songs, Full Crate did share his “Show Her The Way” single with BJ The Chicago Kid which is a great example of what’s to come on A Kid From Yerevan.

Pxrry — “Didn’t You Say”

For his first release of the year, Connecticut singer Pxrry drops off “Didn’t You Say.” He checks in as a frustrated man venting about his inability to move on from a past relationship because his past partner refuses to let him go. Despite her claims of moving on and finding a new man, she’s back in Pxrry’s world to shake things and disrupt his progress.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

De’Aaron Fox Plans To Play In Game 5 Despite His Fractured Finger

The thrilling series between the Sacramento Kings and the Golden State Warriors was delivered a devastating blown when Sacramento announced that De’Aaron Fox fractured his finger late in Game 4 and his status would be in doubt for Game 5. Fox has been the driving force behind Sacramento’s success in the series thus far, averaging just over 31 points per game, and the inaugural Clutch Player of the Year nearly pulled off another comeback in Game 4 with that fractured finger before Harrison Barnes missed a go-ahead jumper at the buzzer.

The Kings initially listed Fox as doubtful, but at a practice before Game 5, Fox said he intends to play in Game 5 while managing the pain.

Domatas Sabonis suffered a similar injury to his thumb earlier this season and elected to play through it instead of immediately going on the shelf with surgery. Fox’s injury occurred on his shooting hand, so the Kings point guard will have to navigate playing with a splint on his dominant hand, something that he showed off during practice.

It’s encouraging to see Fox find a way to play in Game 5 after the playoffs have seen so many injuries to star players in such a short time frame. Kings-Warriors has the makings of an all-time classic, and now, Fox will do what he can to extend his team’s season.

Mom shares hacks for making sure her children with ADHD have a smooth morning

Getting kids up and out the door in the mornings can be a struggle whether your children have ADHD or not. A lot of mornings, it feels like anything goes, from your kid waking up looking like they just fought a flock of wild geese in their sleep to them forgetting their left shoe in the refrigerator.

Why was their shoe in there to begin with? No one knows.

Having kids is committing to organized chaos at any given moment, while also accepting that sometimes the chaos isn’t organized at all. It’s just a free-for-all, and all the tiny humans look like different versions of you. But Tarah Carr, who created the TikTok page @thatadhdlife, has come up with a solution to morning chaos that helps get her kids out of the house on time and ready for the day.

Carr is neurodivergent and so are her three children. All four of them have ADHD, but it was Carr’s personal experience with ADHD as a child that helped inform the routine she created for her children.


The mom of three explained to Upworthy that she struggled as a child, and with her parents being divorced, she didn’t always have the support she needed. Up until recently, her hacks for before-school chaos were just kept between her and her family.

“I was on a live video—I try to do them every Monday—I was explaining this story about how I saw a little boy who was late and running to school all out of breath,” Carr said. “The look on his face reminded me of little me. When I was a kid, I was always stressed and always late.”

@thatadhdlife

Im truly sharing this out of love because school mornings don’t have to be stressful. I’m not saying that you won’t occasionally have a couple flustered mornings once or twice a year but for the most part, it’s life changing. I had to do a part 2 because I talk too much when I’m passionate about something 🫠🤣 #thatadhdlife #justcallmeT #adhdkidsbelike #adhdkidsareamazing #adhdschoolmornings #adhdschool #adhdroutines #adhdsystems

Instead of just watching the boy run as she rode her bike home, she tried to encourage him by shouting, “Take a deep breath, you’re going to be just fine. You’re going to make it.” It was the boy’s response of “I’m always late,” that Carr said broke her heart and prompted her to tell her followers the story. This then led to people expressing their own frustration with trying to get kids out of the house on time in the mornings, so Carr decided to upload a video explaining her routine.

In the TikTok video, Carr tells her followers that they need to first “reverse engineer” their morning by observing their child’s day to see what’s going wrong. She explains that this could be anything from them not being able to find their shoes to them not remembering to brush their teeth.

After providing examples and a few side quest stories that tie back into the point, Carr explains her system, which surprisingly starts the day before. They check the weather in order to pick out clothes, then they pack their lunches and clean out their backpacks, all before bed. Carr says she’s been doing this routine since her oldest son, who is 15, was in kindergarten. But it wasn’t always like that.

When her oldest child was in kindergarten he was struggling until the mom of three changed things up.

“I really realized with him that he loved when he learned things that became muscle memory, so I made things really hands-on and interactive. I knew I needed to thrive and not just survive,” Carr told Upworthy.

In the video, she explains how this routine she implemented years ago has helped her children be much less stressed in the mornings. Each child has their own version of the same routine based on their age. Parents in the comments were impressed with Carr’s system. Some even said they were taking notes for themselves even though they didn’t have children.

Listen to Carr’s helpful tips below:

@thatadhdlife

Replying to @thatadhdlife im just a neurodivergent momma who knew I wanted a different life for our neurodivergent kids. I promise it’s possible but this takes planning, persistence and patience. It’s never too late to start but just know that the older they are, the longer it’s going to take to become an intrinsic habit. Hold their hand through it until then and take a lot of deep breathes. You got this ❤️ ##thatadhdlife##justcallmeT##adhdschool##adhdschoollife##adhdschoolmornings##adhdsystems##nervoussystemregulation##nervoussystemhealing

‘Princess Bride’ star Mandy Patinkin shared a moving detail about the film with a grieving woman

There was an emotional exchange on TikTok between two people who lost their fathers to cancer. One was actor Mandy Patinkin, the other was TikTok user Amanda Webb.

Patinkin currently stars on “The Good Fight” but one of his most famous roles is Inigo Montoya in the 1987 classic “The Princess Bride.” In the film, Montoya is a swordsman who is obsessed with confronting a six-fingered man who killed his father.

Webb recently lost her father Dan to mantle cell lymphoma. She had heard a rumor that Patinkin used his father’s death from cancer as motivation in a pivotal scene where he confronts the six-fingered Count Rugen (Christopher Guest) in a duel.


Rugen tells Montoya he will give him anything he wants after being bested by Montoya who passionately replies, “I want my father back, you son of a bitch.”

Webb’s father was a big fan of Montoya’s performance in the film so she reached out to TikTok to learn if the rumor was true.

“I saw on the internet the rumor that when Mandy Patinkin said that line, he was thinking of his own father who had passed away from cancer,” Webb said while crying. “And it was a very raw emotion. Ever since then, it’s kind of really stuck with me.”

Patinkin, who is a TikTok user, heard that the woman had reached out to him and he gave a heartfelt response.

“First of all, your dad is taking care of you,” he said. “Secondly, it is true, 100% true. I went outside in this castle and walked around and I kept talking to my dad.”

“The minute I read the script, I knew, I said to [his wife], I said, ‘I’m going to do this part because in my mind, if I get the six-fingered guy, that means I killed the cancer that killed my dad and I’ll get to visit my dad,” he said.

“That moment was coming, and I went and I played that scene with Chris [Guest], and then I went back out there and talked to my dad,” Patinkin said.

He then told Webb that she has the power to talk to her father, too.

“And so, you can talk to your dad anytime you want, anywhere you want,” he said. “If you could somehow let me know your dad’s name because I say prayers for anyone I’ve ever known. Now I feel like I know you, and therefore I know your dad, and I will list his name in my prayers every day, and they make me feel like they’re with me, wherever I go, and I’d like your dad to hang out with me.”

Webb responded with a video where she’s so emotional she can hardly speak.
