This week’s News You Can Use is unhinged—in the best way. We’re talking cryptic floorboard messages, sketchy skeleton pranks, expired lettuce, and why adult life is just a series of bizarre plot twists.
Plus, would you get a pickleball tattoo? We’re debating that and other ridiculous ideas.
Then we chat with Tommy Flaim, the mastermind behind Silly Pickles League—a rec play league blowing up across the U.S. He shares how pickleball is bringing people together, one awkward serve at a time.
