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.
