Don’t count out Aaron Rodgers and Drake Maye just yet

Week 5 of the NFL season featured the latest chapter of one of the game’s most storied rivalries and resurgent performances from Aaron Rodgers and Drake Maye. Here’s all the action you need to know about from Sunday. Aaron Rodgers is heating up After having looked like one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL to start the season, Pittsburgh Steelers starter Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes for the third straight game, this time in a 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The last time Rodgers threw at least three touchdown passes in three straight games was in 2021, during his fourth MVP season with the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers is up to 10 touchdowns and four interceptions this year, and the Steelers improved to 3-2 with the win. The Packers earn a measure of revenge The Packers restored some balance in their rivalry with the Chicago Bears, defeating a Caleb Williams-less Bears squad 31-7. It was the teams’ first matchup since Chicago’s epic comeback in the wild-card round of last year’s playoffs. The …

Of those, 17% said they cheated physically, while 18% revealed that their infidelity was emotional – and 12% said they’d done both. Which begs the question: what actually counts as cheating?  After all, the same survey showed that not all Brits agree about whether mental or sexual cheating is “worse”. In fact, respondents couldn’t even get on the same page about what counted as cheating in the first place.  Here’s what they thought about topics like OnlyFans, AI chatbots, and dating apps.  What did respondents think was the “worst” kind of cheating?  To anyone who’s ever said, “but they didn’t mean anything to me!”, 40% of Brits said physical cheating without an emotional connection is worse than mental infidelity without sexual activity.  Only 25% thought emotional cheating with no “action” was more hurtful.  Men, in particular, tended to think physical infidelity was worse (46% vs 20%), while …

Could Count Binface actually win?

Could Count Binface actually win?

Pollsters recently asked a sample of adults in Britain who they would prefer to win the byelection in Clacton. The rather surprising answers showed that 33% favoured “comedy” candidate Count Binface, compared to just 21% who would back Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. The resignation earlier this month of Farage as MP for the Essex seat triggered the byelection on August 13. According to the Ipsos poll, Count Binface (writer and comedian Jon Harvey is the man under the bin) has nearly a 60% advantage over Farage. But more to the point, 45% of the respondents either want neither candidate to win or don’t know who they prefer. A separate question asked about satisfaction with the performance of various political leaders. Farage turned out to be rather unpopular. He came second behind Keir Starmer as the most unpopular leader, with 26% of respondents satisfied and 63% dissatisfied with his leadership. In relation to voting intentions, the Ipsos survey shows that Reform is on 26%, two points ahead of Labour on 24% and eight points ahead …

Why is RFK Jr. so worried about sperm count?

Why is RFK Jr. so worried about sperm count?

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has, historically, been very public about his concerns about what is plaguing the nation’s well-being. His long, complicated history with vaccines is well-documented. So is his long-standing spat with fluoride. Unlike President Donald Trump, he is not a fan of fast food, but he is a big believer in animal protein and raw milk. And this week, he spoke about another issue vexing him: men’s sperm count. “The fertility crisis for women began in 2007; for men in 1970. Men had twice the sperm count as our teenagers do today. This is an existential crisis for our country. We had a series of presidents who were trying to discourage childbirth and motherhood in this country. We now have a president who is trying to encourage it,” Kennedy said at a White House event on maternal health Monday. While many experts agree that sperm counts are likely lower than they were decades ago, it is less clear how much influence a declining sperm count has on …

Count Dante, Dim Mak, and the Kung Fu Death Touch

Count Dante, Dim Mak, and the Kung Fu Death Touch

Arguably both a legend and an embarrassment in the martial arts world, “Count Rafael Dante,” the self-proclaimed “world’s deadliest man,” is best known today for flashy comic book ads hawking a mail order booklet that promises readers will “fear no man” and learn “Dim Mak, the kung fu death touch.” Born in 1939 as John Timothy Keehan, the son of a prominent Chicago-area, Irish American bank president, he eschewed a normal career path. His life was marked by problems with authority, eccentric behavior, and the pursuit of martial arts study and violence. In 1967, he adopted the Count Dante persona: he dyed, groomed, and trimmed his hair and beard immaculately and offered a completely fictional biography. His background, he claimed, included descent from Spanish royalty. He claimed violent adventures and amazing accomplishments in “the Far East,” such as having beaten up Bruce Lee, winning multiple martial arts tournaments of all kinds, and being master of a wide variety of martial arts—which he claimed to have studied under extremely famous people. Dante claimed to have killed …
