It's International Lefthanders Day, and we're celebrating the only people who can use right-handed scissors better than righties while maintaining smudge-free handwriting! Plus, with just 19 days until Labor Day, we're preparing to celebrate hard work by doing absolutely none.
Local Updates That Matter: Starting tomorrow, I-37 detours near the Harbor Bridge in Corpus Christi will test your patience, so plan accordingly. Our water situation remains critical with combined lake levels at just 14.5%, keeping us in Stage 3 restrictions—time to perfect those shorter showers and fix those leaky faucets. On a brighter note, Brewster Street Icehouse opened their newest island location with live music, sunset views, and a playground for the kids.
The End of an Era: AOL is finally pulling the plug on dial-up internet this September 30th. After ruling the internet in 1999 with 18 million subscribers, they're logging off for good—presumably so someone's mom can finally use the phone.
Gen Z vs. Cereal: Are Gen Z cereal killers? Cereal sales have dropped 13% since 2021, and it's not just because they can't wake up before noon. Maybe if we start packaging avocado toast in boxes, we'll see a comeback.
The Labubu Craze: These fang-faced dolls in mystery boxes are America's hottest toy, with crazy resale prices and fake knockoffs everywhere. But sometimes a $20 fake from a truck stop in Pleasanton is worth it for a 6-year-old's smile—because authenticity can't buy happiness.
Surprising Science: Juggling isn't just for clowns—it's a brain workout that boosts neuroplasticity and keeps you sharp. Broccoli might prevent lung disease (but you still have to eat it). And ladies, 98% of women find men who read attractive, so maybe ditch that crypto portfolio discussion for a good book at the coffee shop.
Brain Rot Summer: Forget "Hot Girl Summer" or "Brat Summer"—2025 is officially "Brain Rot Summer." No viral anthems, no clear vibes, just scattered cultural chatter and the mental deterioration from overconsumbing trivial online content. The only six-pack we're working on is in the fridge.
Good News Spotlight: Constable Kevin Lloyd's patience and compassion literally saved a life when he spent over an hour convincing an elderly man to seek medical help. Doctors said he wouldn't have survived another 24 hours—proof that taking time to connect changes everything.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
