We’ve all seen the viral photos from Air Force One—you know—maybe the least presidential meal imaginable as President Donald Trump smiled with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

That’s more out of convenience than a taste for the finer things in life, though the commander in chief has been surprisingly open about one specific fear since taking office: food poisoning. That’s why he’s said to opt for mass-produced fast food more often than not.

But what about those times when a McDouble just won’t cut it?

Every President has been known to venture into D.C. for a night out after long days served in the Oval Office. Trump first frequented BLT Prime during his first term, an upscale steakhouse within his own branded property, Trump International Hotel.

The luxe eatery has since shuttered, but there are two other locations in popular cities still serving Trump’s go-to order.

Before Trump infamously glided down the escalator of his Trump Tower to announce his candidacy, the business magnate even launched Trump Steaks—though that venture didn’t exactly stick around, his fondness for a steak has endured.

Those looking to dine like the President can still visit BLT Prime in New York City and Miami, Florida, both serving a similar menu to its former D.C. hotspot.

So what’s on the President’s tried-and-true order?

A shrimp cocktail, French fries and a well-done steak. Trump was reported to have ordered a 28-day dry-aged New York strip at BLT Prime in 2017, according to Eater. By 2021, Washingtonian reported that his regular steak had been a bone-in rib eye or filet mignon, before the restaurant switched him to a 40-ounce tomahawk after he complained that another diner’s steak was larger.

At the current New York location, a 14-ounce New York strip, jumbo shrimp cocktail and fries would run $103 before tax and tip: $64 for the steak, $27 for the shrimp cocktail and $12 for the fries. In Doral, the same combination costs $115: $65 for the 14-ounce New York strip, $35 for the colossal shrimp cocktail and $15 for the fries.

The only question is whether you’d like to follow Trump’s order to a tee. He doesn’t take the “if my cow’s not mooin’, I ain’t chewin'” approach—he’s a well-done kind of guy.

There are few songs that capture the energy and angst of the late 1990s quite like Harvey Danger’s “Flagpole Sitta.” Before the band was synonymous with its 1997 hit, the members of Harvey Danger were University of Washington students working on the campus newspaper. After recording their debut album for roughly $3,000, they watched “Flagpole Sitta” catch on with Seattle radio listeners and unexpectedly turn into one of the most recognizable alt-rock anthems of the late 1990s.

How Harvey Danger Got Its Start @noteworthyhistory

“I’m not sick, but I’m not well…” 🎤 In 1998, Harvey Danger dropped the ultimate late-’90s alt-rock anthem with “Flagpole Sitta.” But when the spotlight got too bright, they walked away on their own terms. Here is where frontman Sean Nelson and the rest of the band ended up after the noise died down. ​Which ’90s alt-rock classic should we cover next? 👇 #HarveyDanger #90sAltRock #WhereAreTheyNow #MusicHistory #SongLore

♬ Flagpole Sitta – Harvey Danger

Bassist Aaron Huffman and guitarist Jeff J. Lin were both student journalists at the University of Washington. Drummer Evan Sult and singer Sean Nelson joined the band in 1993, solidifying the lineup.

The band grew out of that college friendship, and Nelson, Lin, Huffman and Sult were not chasing fame. In fact, Harvey Danger’s story starts with a group of college friends who made a relatively inexpensive indie-rock album, only to watch one of its songs take off and become an era-defining anthem.

The band’s name came from graffiti found on the wall of the University of Washington’s student newspaper office, where the members worked at various times. The unusual phrase stuck, even as the band began playing around Seattle and building a following.

How “Flagpole Sitta” Became a ’90s Anthem

Their debut album, Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?, was first released independently in 1997. “Flagpole Sitta” was not initially treated like the song that would define the band. But the track’s catchy melody, sarcastic lyrics and restless late-’90s energy caught on after local radio began playing it.

The attention spread, and Slash Records reissued the album in 1998. Suddenly, the college newspaper musicians had an MTV hit on their hands.

“Flagpole Sitta” also appeared in the 1998 teen movie Disturbing Behavior and became a surprise phenomenon. At its core, the song captures the anxiety, angst and cynicism of the late 1990s, and fans continued listening long after its initial chart run.

The album eventually went gold, and “Flagpole Sitta” is often cited as one of the defining alternative-rock songs of the late 1990s.

What Happened to Harvey Danger? @spookyfirefly

This is a little series I’m calling The AUX Files… Just random songs I enjoy that maybe are forgotten, fondly remembered, or even new to some 🖤 Hope you dig it 🖤 #theauxfiles #harveydanger #90sthrowback #alttiktok #musictok

♬ original sound – Spooky

Harvey Danger continued recording after “Flagpole Sitta,” releasing King James Version in 2000 and later projects including Little by Little… in 2006 and The Show Must Go On in 2009.

The band broke up and reunited more than once, but its members also pursued other creative work. Nelson continued working as a musician, writer and journalist, including a long association with the Seattle alternative weekly The Stranger.

Although Harvey Danger officially ended its run in 2009, “Flagpole Sitta” has never completely disappeared. It remains a beloved ’90s throwback, resurfacing in movies, television, covers and nostalgic playlists.

The song’s staying power is the ultimate irony: Two college newspaper writers who didn’t set out to become rock stars ended up responsible for one of the most enduring songs of the era. Even they didn’t see that coming.

Eliana “Eli” Moreno spent years telling Los Angeles stories from hundreds of feet above the city. Now, colleagues and viewers are remembering the veteran aerial reporter after a devastating crash involving NBC4’s NewsChopper4.

NBC4 confirmed that Moreno and pilot George Marciniw were aboard the helicopter when it crashed in Chatsworth on Tuesday, September 15. 

On Tuesday evening, Moreno and Marciniw were covering a separate fatal Metro bus collision when their helicopter went down near Nordhoff Street.

NBC News confirmed that a third person, believed to have been a pedestrian on the ground, was also killed, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

According to The New York Post, Moreno was known to viewers and social media followers as “Eli in the Heli,” a nickname that captured a career spent covering Southern California from the air.

Who Was Eliana Moreno? View this post on Instagram

Moreno was an aerial photojournalist and reporter for NBC4 Los Angeles and Telemundo 52, according to NBC News. She had worked aboard news helicopters since 2010, covering everything from police pursuits and brush fires to traffic and major breaking-news events.

Her responsibilities went well beyond reporting. While in the air, Moreno worked as a photographer, reporter, and editor, capturing images while relaying information to viewers on the ground.

As per her LinkedIn profile, she graduated from Chapman University in 2010 with degrees in broadcast journalism and political science. Moreno built her career in Los Angeles television before joining NBC4. She previously worked for KCAL 9 and KCBS 2. She later joined NBC4’s aerial news operation aboard NewsChopper4 around 2018 or 2019, according to The New York Post.

What Happened to NBC4’s NewsChopper4?

A livestream from the helicopter captured alarming moments before the crash. BBC reported that a warning horn could be heard as the aircraft began shaking and losing altitude. “Uh, oh,” Moreno said before asking, “Pull. You can’t pull up?”

The livestream ended moments later. NBC4 anchor Colleen Williams became emotional as the station followed the developing emergency. “We have lost contact with our people,” she said through tears. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

NBC4 and Telemundo 52 expressed their grief in a joint statement following the tragedy.

“We are deeply saddened to share that a helicopter providing aerial news coverage for NBC4 and Telemundo 52 was involved in a fatal accident in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of those who lost their lives.”

If you’re already a fan of HexClad’s hybrid cookware, the brand has some big news: It’s expanding into bakeware for the first time.

HexClad is taking its product line from the stovetop to the oven. HexClad Hybrid Bakeware is available for pre-sale now, and the brand calls the line “meticulously engineered to challenge the limitations of traditional nonstick bakeware.”

Made with a new formulation of the brand’s TerraBond nonstick, the line allows for easy release of baked goods while standing up to sustained oven temperatures. HexClad Hybrid Bakeware is also metal-utensil safe and designed to resist warping. HexClad says the bakeware is designed to distribute heat evenly and consistently, and the collection is backed by the brand’s lifetime warranty. What’s more, HexClad says in addition to rigorous testing by its own product and engineering teams, well-known chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Dominique Crenn, and Nancy Silverton tested the bakeware. 

In a press release about the new line of nonstick bakeware, Daniel Winer, CEO and co-founder of HexClad, revealed that bakeware has been one of the most requested categories by HexClad customers, describing the experience of creating bakeware as “much more complicated than simply taking our cookware and putting it in the oven.”

“We wanted the easy release people love about nonstick without the compromises they’ve come to accept,” said Winer. “It took four years because we kept pushing until we had the right combination of nonstick performance, durability and consistency. If we’re going to enter a category, we want to raise the standard for it.”

HexClad’s bakeware line is available for pre-sale now, and will begin shipping in October 2026.

HexClad

HexClad’s bakeware line includes five different pieces, which range in price from $179 to $499. Currently, the line is available for pre-order as a set of six for $499. The pre-sale set includes one of everything below, with the exception of round cake pans, which come in a pair. Orders are expected to begin shipping in October.

• 9 X 13 Rectangular Cake Pan: ideal for sheet cakes, crumbles, and layered desserts
• 9-inch Round Cake Pan: designed for layer cakes, European-style tortes, and savory or sweet rolls
• 8 X 8 Square Pan: for brownies, bar cookies, and cornbread
• 10 X 15 Medium Baking Sheet: ideal for batches of cookies and pastries, as well as sheet-pan meals
• 9.5 X 14.5 Stainless-Steel Cooling Rack: for cooling, decorating, and glazing baked goods 

Jimmy Fallon added a little pumpkin spice to the Kennedy Center’s latest setback, finding a very Halloween-y silver lining in the venue’s upcoming two-year closure.

During Tuesday’s episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the late-night host joked about the news that the Kennedy Center is facing a two-year closure as the Washington, D.C., performing arts venue undergoes major renovations.

“Don’t cry because we’re losing the Kennedy Center,” Fallon joked. “Smile because we’re gaining a Spirit Halloween.”

The joke drew cheers and applause from the Tonight Show audience.

The Kennedy Center board voted Tuesday to close most of the building for up to two years as part of a planned $257 million renovation project, according to reports. The decision comes amid a tumultuous period for the arts center after President Donald Trump took over its board and was appointed chairman.

Fallon didn’t stop to unpack the politics surrounding the Kennedy Center. Instead, he went straight for the Halloween punchline, imagining the iconic cultural institution getting a decidedly different seasonal makeover.

“That’s right,” Fallon added after the joke, letting the audience reaction land.

The Kennedy Center’s closure means its stages will go dark for an extended period while renovations are completed, making Fallon’s imagined transformation into a temporary Spirit Halloween all the more absurd.

The Kennedy Center saga began in February 2025, when Trump took control of the institution’s board, removed its longtime president and CEO Deborah Rutter, and installed himself as chairman.

Since then, Trump and his allies have pushed to reshape the performing arts center, including adding his name to the building. A federal judge later ruled that the board lacked authority to rename the Kennedy Center without congressional approval and ordered Trump’s name removed from the facade. The lettering came down in June. The latest chapter came Tuesday, with the board voting to close the main building for up to two years for a $257 million renovation, citing financial and structural problems.

In 1976, Led Zeppelin stunned a rock legend with the song “Nobody’s Fault but Mine.” The song, from the album Presence, was recorded just a few months after lead singer Robert Plant was involved in a near-fatal car accident—and it blew Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger away at first listen.

Inspired by a 1920s gospel song by blues artist Blind Willie Johnson, the hymn was adapted by Plant and Jimmy Page to become a hard rock anthem, complete with a killer guitar riff and reworked, angsty lyrics.

Page once revealed that the song was part of a marathon three-week recording session for the Presence album at Musicland Studios in Munich.

“The Rolling Stones were due to use the studio next,” Page recalled to Radio, per Ultimate Classic Rock. “So, I asked Mick if we could have a couple of more days. They were trying all different guitarists out at the time, they were doing Black and Blue there, so Mick said, ‘Yeah.'”

Page also revealed that Jagger was blown away by Zeppelin’s hard rock remake of Johnson’s decades-old acoustic track.

“Jagger was staying in the same hotel and I went up to see him to say thanks for letting us use the studio in their downtime,” Page told Classic Rock magazine. “He said, ‘What have you done?’ I said, ‘I’ve done an album, do you want to hear some?’ I put on ‘Nobody’s Fault But Mine,’ which he sort of knew as a blues song and he was quite startled by it.”

Page did try to distance himself from the original gospel song. Speaking with Guitar World, he noted that he realized he had to do his own thing and “almost stop listening to anybody” after years of covering other songwriters’ blues songs.

“A good example is ‘Nobody’s Fault But Mine,’ from Presence,” he shared. “Robert came in one day and suggested we cover it, but the arrangement I came up with has nothing to do with the [Blind Willie Johnson] original. Robert may have wanted to go for the original blues lyrics, but everything else was a totally different kettle of fish.”

While Presence wasn’t one of Led Zeppelin’s highest-charting albums, “Nobody’s Fault but Mine” became a standout track.

Nearly 50 years later, Ultimate Classic Rock ranked “Nobody’s Fault but Mine” among the top 50 songs of 1976, writing, “Robert Plant was recovering from a car accident at the time of recording, but his blues-rock growl rings with an intense authenticity. It’s a commanding performance top to bottom.”

Christy Turlington isn’t afraid to rock the runway with graying hair, and we love her for it!

Turlington, 57, rose to stardom in the ’90s as one of the fashion world’s legendary supermodels alongside Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Cindy Crawford. At a time when women feel the pressure to cover every inch of their grays, it’s refreshing to see Turlington, who has made a name for herself in recent years as an activist and documentarian working to advocate for the health of mothers during pregnancy and childbirth, take hold of her natural beauty and show it off. She rocked the runway at the Sabyasachi show during New York Fashion Week in New York City, and wasn’t afraid to show off her gray roots in a full denim outfit.

Turlington and Husband Edward Burns are Gray Hair Goals

Turlington is married to Edward Burns, an actor and director who also skyrocketed to stardom in the ’90s. He’s best known for his beloved indie film The Brothers McMullen, as well as more recent works like Summer Days, Summer Nights, and Millers in Marriage.

 The dynamic duo sat to catch the fashion show last year. They’re just another two examples of Hollywood stars who are choosing to go gray and won’t apologize for it!

View this post on Instagram Christy Founded a Maternal Health Nonprofit

After going back to school at 26 to get her undergrad degree at NYU, Turlington returned to school at 39 to get a master’s in public health. She’s the founder of Every Mother Counts, a maternal health care nonprofit organization. While she has two children, she previously told Glamour that the organization is “very much like my third child.”

In regard to her best professional advice, Turlington advised that people “cultivate meaningful relationships.”

“I really do try to listen very attentively to any kind of personal story that someone is sharing with me. Not in any kind of game way, but in a true way. Because the more I can absorb in whatever amount of time that I spend with anyone, the more closely we can connect and the more that I will be able to take forward into another relationship at some point,” she said. “There are so many relationships I’ve had since I was a teenager in my first profession that, while I don’t see people very frequently, they come in really handy in other areas of life. The more you put in at the very beginning, I think, the possibilities are that much greater. You just never know where anyone is going to move on to or be.”

So much more than just a cute vase, this is basically a literary work of art. The deep forest green hue is enhanced with rich gold botanical detailing that lends the piece an ornate vibe. A reviewer described the effect as “rich” and “lovely.” With distinctive floral and feather motifs bringing a bit of Regency influence to the mix without being too literal, the effect is just right for honoring the classic story while enhancing your space. 

The script typography adds to its charm. It has the feel of an authentic heirloom edition of the novel, making it a particularly special gift idea for your favorite Austen enthusiast or anyone who appreciates the classics. With ribbed ceramic “pages” adding to its appeal, the effect is exactly like a real book you might find tucked away in some far-flung bookshop in England.

Turn it over to reveal a fun surprise: “I was in the middle before I knew I had begun,” the famous line uttered by protagonist Mr. Darcy to heroine Elizabeth Bennett as he realizes the depth of his love for her. It’s a little bit of a swoon moment for anyone who loves Pride and Prejudice, but even as a standalone quote it can be so meaningful and poignant. 

Coming in at 5.31 inches wide by 7.75 inches tall, this vase also feels pleasantly substantial at about 2 pounds. One person noted its “excellent quality” and “elegant” design. It’s a visible standout, about the size of a standard hardcover novel. It’s perfect for setting on a bookshelf as a piece of decor or using as a focal point to hold a beautiful floral arrangement.

The Obamas are mourning the loss of a beloved member of their family.

Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama announced the death of Sunny, their Portuguese Water Dog who spent 13 years by their side.

“Yesterday, we lost a cherished member of our family,” the Obamas shared in a statement shared to Instagram Wednesday beneath a carousel of photos featuring Sunny’s life.

View this post on Instagram

Sunny joined the Obama family in August 2013, during Barack Obama’s second term in the White House, and quickly became a beloved companion to the entire family, including their first dog, Bo.

But Sunny was never exactly the quiet, sit-by-your-side type of dog.

“We also had trouble keeping up with her, for Sunny was a force of nature,” the family recalled. “Athletic and full of boundless energy, she leapt over the hedges on the South Lawn like they weren’t even there, chasing squirrels, birds and anything else that moved.”

While Bo could often be won over with a treat, Sunny had different priorities.

“Sunny was more interested in having us run around with her, roll on the floor with her, or have her belly rubbed for as long as we were willing,” the Obamas wrote.

She was especially fond of the Obama daughters, Sasha and Malia, and even tolerated them when they bothered her during her naps. Sunny also became a familiar presence around the White House, often following members of the family’s team around as if she were helping them with their work, and when it came to Bo, Sunny was fiercely protective.

“She was fiercely protective of Bo, who she rightly sensed wasn’t always as alert and attentive as she was,” the family wrote.

Sunny certainly had her quirks, too. She preferred people to other dogs, aside from Bo, was a famously loud and sloppy drinker and, perhaps most ironically, hated getting wet despite being a Portuguese Water Dog.

Still, to the Obamas, those little eccentricities were part of what made her so special.

“But as far as our family was concerned, she was pretty much perfect,” they wrote.

For 13 years, Sunny was there through the family’s White House years and beyond. She was “always loyal, always sweet, always ready for adventure,” the Obamas said, adding that she remained “fiery and gorgeous till the very end of her days.”

Sunny’s death also comes more than five years after the family said goodbye to Bo, who died in May 2021 at age 12 following a battle with cancer. The Obamas previously described Bo as a constant presence in their lives and recalled how much he meant to the entire family.

Now, the family is imagining Sunny and Bo together again.

“We will miss her terribly, and imagine she’s with her big brother now, making sure he’s okay,” the Obamas wrote.

Lainey Wilson has brought her signature Bell Bottom Country style into the home through a new multi-season collaboration with MacKenzie-Childs, which kicks off with a limited-edition collection launching September 21.

A longtime fan of the brand and collector herself, the debut spread looks to reimagine Wilson’s iconic cowgirl boots through MacKenzie-Childs’ aesthetic and handcrafted artistry, resulting in a collection that feels “distinctly Lainey.”

(MacKenzie-Childs)

“I’ve always believed your home should tell your story, and MacKenzie-Childs has been part of mine for a long time,” the beloved singer, 34, said in a statement, per a Tuesday, September 15 news release. “Over the years, I’ve built my own collection of their pieces, so creating something new together felt like a natural fit — a chance to bring a little piece of my world into theirs.”

Wilson continued, “Every item in this collaboration was inspired by my roots, my personal style, and those everyday moments that make a house feel like home. These pieces are made to spark conversation, bring joy, and become part of your own story.”

The launch features hand-painted ceramic Cowgirl Boot Bud Vases and Cowgirl Boot Dishes, available in the brand’s beloved Courtly Check, Mocha Check, and Rosy Check colorways. Each piece is handcrafted and painted in Aurora, bringing together Wilson’s trademark style with the craftsmanship MacKenzie-Childs is known for.

Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t about to let the Dancing With the Stars judges have the last word after Guillermo Rodriguez received a brutal score during his Season 35 debut.

Guillermo and his partner, Witney Carson, joined Jimmy Kimmel Live! immediately after their dance, where Kimmel made it clear he thought the judges had been too harsh. The duo scored just 10 out of 30, prompting Kimmel to defend his longtime sidekick as Guillermo vowed to practice harder and return next week.

Kimmel went live to the DWTS set, where he spoke to Guillermo and asked how he thought he did. “I think I did good. I did my best. I went over there and I have fun and I enjoy,” Guillermo said.

In response, Kimmel said he thought Guillermo did “great,” adding, “I was delighted from beginning to end. I thought you were fantastic.”

Witney, who is 17 weeks pregnant with her third child, said she loves Guillermo and praised him for giving it his all. Unfortunately, the DWTS judges weren’t feeling all that love, with Kimmel telling the pair, “The judges did not give you a great score. You got 10 out of 30.” He then asked, “Were you happy with that score?”

Guillermo clearly wasn’t thrilled with the result, joking, “I think I should get five. Five. Five,” before agreeing that they need to “dance better” if they want to make it to another week.

Kimmel then revealed that Guillermo had texted one of their writers at 3 a.m. that morning, writing, “I don’t know why I said yes to this.” But after making it through his first performance, Guillermo was determined to return next week and said he needed to practice harder to get at least a 17.

Clearly, Kimmel is in Guillermo and Witney’s corner, reminding the audience that every vote counts and encouraging viewers to “vote for us” as the pair fights to stay in the competition.

“You are America’s cutest couple and we are all rooting for you. We’re very excited,” Kimmel told them before wrapping up the segment.

Ireland Baldwin is grieving the sudden loss of her beloved dog, Kurt. On Sept. 15, the daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram, revealing that her 7-year-old pup had died unexpectedly just a day earlier.

“I am still trying to make sense of how things like this happen out of nowhere,” Ireland wrote in her caption. “I’m in a million pieces. I’m going to tell you a few things that I loved about him.”

View this post on Instagram

Rather than dwell on the shock of his passing, Ireland chose to celebrate the quirks that made Kurt who he was. She recalled how he loved curling up by a cozy fireplace, and how his skin allergies — which had finally cleared up this year — used to leave him looking like he was perpetually wearing pink lipstick. He had a habit of nipping at other dogs, and an even funnier habit of humping pillows. Above all, she described him as endlessly observant, someone who liked to watch the rain fall, keep an eye on her daughter Holland at play, and stare at the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree.

“He was the sweetest boy in the world and I was sure I had plenty of time with him,” Ireland added, expressing that she’d assumed Kurt would grow old alongside her children. She said she felt lucky that he’d at least gotten the chance to meet Holland, closing her tribute with a simple, tender goodbye: “Love you Kurt Kurt.”

The post included a carousel of photos and videos chronicling Kurt’s life — moments of him gazing lovingly at the camera, watching the rain from a window, snuggled up with family, decked out in a Santa hat, and spending time with Holland.

Ireland didn’t disclose what led to Kurt’s sudden death. His final appearance on her feed came just days earlier, on Sept. 11, when he could be seen wandering in the background of a video of Ireland and Holland “potion making.”

As tributes and condolences pour in from fans in the comments on her post, Ireland’s raw, unfiltered grief reminds us how deeply pets weave into the fabric of everyday family life — and how hard it is to say goodbye, even when there’s no time to prepare.

Few tracks from the early 1970s manage to maintain a permanent grip on today’s music charts, but Creedence Clearwater Revival keeps defying the odds.

Written during a period of intense internal turmoil ahead of the group’s split, their 1971 single “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” has transformed into a digital monster. Holding firm on the Billboard Rock Streaming Songs chart for its 161st week, the band’s bittersweet hit continues to find new listeners, 55 years after its release.

The song first hit the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1971, peaking at No. 8 in March. It remained on the charts for a total of 10 weeks and was from Creedence’s sixth studio album, Pendulum.

“Have You Ever Seen the Rain” re-emerged onto the rock streaming chart in 2018. It hit a peak position of No. 11 in June 2020 and is still holding strong today, where it sits at No. 21.

According to American Songwriter, the song’s genesis came from Tom Fogerty‘s departure from Creedence Clearwater Revival. As frontman John Fogerty processed the divide with members Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, he channeled the heartbreak of their imminent breakup directly into the track’s lyrics.

“That song is really about the impending breakup of Creedence. The imagery is, you can have a bright, beautiful, sunny day, and it can be raining at the same time,” John told Rolling Stone, as reported by American Songwriter. “The band was breaking up. I was reacting, ‘Geez, this is all getting serious right at the time when we should be having a sunny day.’”

“Those are the four people that made those records,” he told Rolling Stone in 2025. “And that didn’t particularly happen again in history.”

Fogerty continued, “So obviously those four human beings are unique human beings. I still give a lot of credit to the way something like ‘Proud Mary’ feels or ‘Born on the Bayou.’ And there is mystery in that. There’s a mysterious aura or ingredient that I’m not gonna sit here and say was in my pocket.”

The song continues to inspire millions of listeners every day, transforming a bittersweet 1971 farewell into one of the most enduring anthems in modern streaming history. It’s a rare feat for a track born out of band turmoil to outlive the drama and lock down a permanent spot on the charts.

The band broke up, but the track stayed put. More than 50 years later, people are still listening.

Carter Krull Carter Krull on ‘Survivor 51’

Eric Macksoud Eric Macksoud on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

So my greatest superpower is my ability to empathize with others and my high emotional intelligence. I’m able to look at someone’s face and read their body language and tell how they’re feeling. I can see if they’re feeling down, [if] they feel upset. It’s something I do with my clients all the time. They can come into my office, they look so sullen, and I’m like, “What’s wrong?” And they go, “Nothing.” But I know there’s something wrong. And I think that’s gonna help me out in this game tenfold because people are gonna try to hide their feelings, hide what they’re going through in their mind. And I can see right through that.

Angelica “Jelly” Loblack Angelica “Jelly” Loblack on ‘Survivor 51’

My biggest superpower is definitely my ability to get people to open up to me and knowing the right questions to ask.

Jenna Doore Jenna Doore on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

I think my biggest superpower and my biggest kryptonite is my empathy. I’m a deep feeler, and I think that is such a strength in connecting with other people. And [it] can be such a weakness if you don’t have a sense of playing your own game. So I think if I can keep that in check, it becomes a great strength.

Danny “Kilby” Kilby Danny “Kilby” Kilby on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

My biggest superpower coming into Survivor is I can make anybody laugh. Give me five minutes, I’m gonna figure out what’s their humor style, what kind of jokes do they like? I’m gonna be able to figure that out and then weaponize that moving forward. I think I’m everybody’s favorite person when I first meet them because I’m so good at asking questions, being a good listener. My social game is gonna be bomb!

Kristin Flickinger Kristin Flickinger on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

My biggest superpower coming into the game is flexibility and being able to read the room.

Lewis Kelly Lewis Kelly on ‘Survivor 51’

My superpower in this game is my Irish charm. My kryptonite is my Irish chaos.

Linnea Capobianco Linnea Capobianco on ‘Survivor 51’

Maggie Nestor Maggie Nestor on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

I think my biggest superpower is probably my social game and social read on people and the ability just to connect with others. And it’s probably going to be my kryptonite because I might be a little bit of a social butterfly.

Mike Pinsky Mike Pinsky on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

My superpower is that I have a well-rounded skill set. I’m athletic without being physically imposing. I’m strategic with the ability to tamp that down when I need to, and I’m social without being just a charisma machine that jumps off the page. I think that I have all those abilities and the ability to sort of shroud it to the extent that I need to.

Ori Jean-Charles  Ori-Jean Charles on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

My biggest superpower is my ability to connect and just make people comfortable. Anytime, any place, anywhere I’ve been, I’ve been able to ingratiate myself with the role.

Patt Cannaday Patt Cannaday on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

My biggest super superpower, I think, is maybe my ability to stay under the radar. I think I stay under the radar because I have this bubbly, fun personality. But I’m really intense!

Rob Antonson Rob Antonson on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

I’d say my superpower is making relationships with everybody. And it could just be anybody. It doesn’t have to be a guy, a girl, all different ethnicities, I can talk to anybody. I just I got the gift of gab from my aunt. My aunt’s someone that could just talk to a homeless person on the side of a road for a half hour.

Sharonda Cox Sharonda Cox on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

My superpower is that I’m a chameleon. So I can adapt to any environment.

An “Thien An” Nguyen An “Thien An” Nguyen on ‘Survivor 51’

Robert Voets/CBS

I think my heart is my biggest superpower, as well as my biggest kryptonite. Being able to empathize with people will help me in this game. [And] it’ll hurt when people unfortunately have to get voted off.

Your Priority Pass membership may soon be useful for more than finding a place to sit before your flight.

Priority Pass is preparing for a major expansion over the next 12 months, adding more airport fast-track options, lounges, and travel experiences while rolling out new technology designed to make it easier to find and use its benefits.

The changes are part of a five-year, $675 million investment from Collinson Group, the parent company of Priority Pass, according to Fast Company. The program already offers access to more than 1,900 airport lounges and travel experiences around the world, but the company is now expanding its services well beyond the traditional pre-flight lounge visit.

One of the biggest changes will be an expansion of Priority Pass’ airport fast-track network. The program currently offers bookable expedited security access at 28 airports. Over the next year, that number is expected to grow to more than 170 fast-track lanes across more than 150 terminals and 130 airports worldwide.

Priority Pass is also giving its app a significant makeover. The new Priority Pass+ app will eventually use artificial intelligence, members’ past behavior, and real-time location data to recommend lounges and other airport experiences based on a traveler’s particular trip.

Rather than scrolling through a list of lounges and trying to figure out which one is most convenient, members could receive more personalized recommendations based on their location and preferences.

The company is also making it easier for travelers who have more than one Priority Pass membership. Eligible members will be able to manage multiple memberships in one place, which could come in handy for frequent travelers who receive Priority Pass through multiple premium credit cards.

Additional updates include easier account activation, saved-card functionality, biometric authentication and one-time verification by email or mobile device.

Priority Pass isn’t abandoning airport lounges, either. Collinson says part of the investment will go toward expanding its proprietary lounge network, while the broader Priority Pass network will continue to include experiences such as spas, sleeping pods and airport dining.

The company also plans to add airport parking and luggage storage to its services, a push towards Priority Pass becoming a travel necessity.

The dress falls around the calf, which means that you can wear it with any shoe style that you love. We think that the dress would pair well with sandals, loafers, or clunky sneakers if you want to go for a trendy look. You can easily dress the clothing up or down, like with shimmery stacked jewelry, so it’s super versatile for everything from casual to upscale occasions. 

The dress is made of 95% polyester and 5% spandex that makes it lightweight — which is amazing for the summer to fall transition period — and slightly stretchy. Shoppers wrote that the material is “very comfortable” and “wrinkle-resistant,” which is a great feature for travelers. All you have to do is wash the dress in cold water and then let it hang to prevent it from shrinking, and it’ll maintain its shape.

If you have a sweet tooth, you know how lovely it is to have a perfectly portioned dessert waiting in the refrigerator. There’s no slicing, serving, or wondering who got the bigger piece. You can simply grab one whenever you’re craving something sweet.

And if tiramisu, with its creamy layers, coffee flavor, and cocoa, is one of your go-to combinations, Costco has a made-in-Italy find that’s an easy add to cart.

Costco Finds & Buys (@costcofinds_usa) spotted the individual desserts and shared a look at the sweet new warehouse find in a Sept. 14 TikTok:

The Dessert Italiano Tiramisu comes with six single-serving 3-ounce cups for around $11 per package, depending on your warehouse. That works out to less than $2 each for a dessert you can keep chilled until a sweet craving comes calling.

Costco’s Tiramisu Comes in 6 Individual Cups for an Easy Fall Dessert

Made in Italy with Italian mascarpone, these little desserts have all the familiar layers that make tiramisu such a treat. Each one combines coffee-soaked sponge cake with creamy mascarpone and cocoa, creating that rich mix of coffee, cream, and chocolate flavor in its own cup.

And the convenience is a big part of the appeal. Instead of bringing home a full cake, you get six pre-portioned desserts ready whenever you want one. You can pull one from the refrigerator after dinner, pack a few into a cooler for a gathering, or set them out when you’re entertaining and let everyone grab their own.

Add a cup of coffee or espresso, and you’ve got a simple after-dinner treat that feels considerably more indulgent than the effort involved.

While the individual portions make these convenient to keep on hand, they’re just as nice when company is coming. The pretty layers are already visible through the containers, so you don’t need to transfer them to another dish or spend time plating dessert when you’d rather enjoy the evening.

Costco’s latest refrigerated find lets you skip the effort and still land on the fancy side of dessert. It’s a little la dolce vita from Italy, straight from the fridge.

As temperatures start to cool, it’s time to trade summer sandals for shoes that make sense for the season ahead. Loafers are an easy transition piece, offering a preppy look with jeans and slacks while still working with skirts and shorts on warmer days.

Right now, Clarks’ Westlynn Bella Loafers are as low as $50 at Amazon, down from $105. The classic leather style comes in twelve versatile colors, including classic black, tan, beige, cream, and burgundy, so you can choose a neutral for everyday wear or a richer shade for fall. Most colors are currently under $100, though prices vary by color.

The leather loafers are available in sizes 5 through 12, including wide options, giving shoppers several choices when it comes to fit. Subtle stitch detailing adds a polished finish to the classic design. They also have a cushioned OrthoLite insole for added support and a flexible rubber outsole that helps provide a comfortable, steady step.

Their timeless shape makes them easy to style with pieces you likely already have in your closet. Wear them with jeans or slacks for a polished everyday look, or pair them with a midi skirt for something a little dressier. Shoppers said they look great with socks, too.

Comfort is another standout feature for buyers. “So comfortable,” one shopper wrote, adding that the loafers were “elegant” and came at a “great price.” Another reviewer praised the “great fit,” adding: “I always need a wide size, and these fit great with very minimal break-in. They’re really stylish, too.”

Kate Bush released Hounds of Love on Sept. 16, 1985.

The album went to No. 1 in the UK and stayed on the chart for more than a year. It was her fifth album, seven years after “Wuthering Heights” made her a star at 19. She made it herself, in a studio she built behind her family’s barn.

The album’s second single was “Cloudbusting.” Its video starred Donald Sutherland, and he was not paid for it.

He Turned It Down First

Barry Richardson, the hairdresser on the 1973 thriller Don’t Look Now, asked Sutherland to do the video.

“I told him no,” Sutherland said.

Bush got his address from Richardson and turned up at Savoy, where he was living.

“A couple of days later there was a knock on my door,” Sutherland shared. “I opened it. There was no one there. I heard a voice saying hello and I looked down. Standing down there was a very small Kate Bush.”

He let her in and she explained the video, What he heard was one name. Wilhelm Reich. He had taken an underground copy of Reich’s The Mass Psychology of Fascism to Italy years earlier, while filming Bernardo Bertolucci’s Novecento. He could not get a work visa on short notice, so he did the video for free.

The Story It Came From

The song comes from Peter Reich’s 1973 memoir A Book of Dreams, about his father, the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich.

Wilhelm Reich believed in a life energy he called orgone and sold devices built around it. The Food and Drug Administration took him to court over them. He was convicted of contempt, went to federal prison in 1957 and died there that November, before his sentence was up.

In the video, Sutherland plays the father and Bush plays the son, watching him get taken away.

“It’s about a special relationship between a young son and his father,” Bush wrote in a 1985 newsletter for her fan club.

Who Made It

Bush first called Terry Gilliam of Monty Python to direct it, who ended up pointing her to Julian Doyle. Doyle directed it, and they shot it at Dragon Hill in Oxfordshire. Gilliam came back in during editing, when a conflict developed and he played mediator.

“Kate knows exactly what she’s doing, she knows what she wants,” Gilliam said. “She’s the sweetest person on the planet but she’s absolute steel inside!”

“Cloudbusting” reached No. 20 in the UK. The album’s first single did something stranger. Nearly 40 years later, “Running Up That Hill” went to No. 1 after popular show, Stranger Things, used it in 2022.
