Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Teens from juvenile diversion program MileUp will be among the thousands of athletes participating in this weekend’s races. They’re running for more than accolades.
To get their charges dropped, these teenagers are running the Philly Half Marathon
Instead of punishing the students for the crimes they may have committed, MileUp, a juvenile diversion program, intends to teach them accountability and responsibility through running.

You might think a cemetery would never be short on business, but right now, many of them are struggling. I wrote about why, and how the next wedding you go to might be inside of a cemetery:

Kevin Durant seems to have made a lot of money on Bitcoin. Except he hasn't cashed out because he lost the password for his Coinbase account. And it's been years since he's known what it is.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.

She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.
