What are you up to this weekend? The boys and I are going to our neighborhood block party, and I’m excited for Sharon Horgan’s new show, which comes out on Sunday. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few fun links from around the web…

Reader-favorite Old Navy just launched a new sport activewear line called ON Sport, and it’s really good. You could live in this sweatshirt, and this green plaid looks so much more expensive than it is.

What if online dating wasn’t awful? “In Ramy Youssef’s 2026 HBO comedy special, In Love, he jokes that every guy he knows who should be married is married, and every guy he knows who should be single… is single: ‘None of them got a job, phone always dead, one hoodie.’ Off screen, you can hear the audience cackle along knowingly.”

Plus, three reader comments:
Says Karin on five pick-me-ups: “Last night, apropos of nothing, my 11-year-old started talking about her ‘loose g-string.’ My husband and I looked at each other, stunned…until we realized she was talking about her stand-up bass in orchestra.”
Says Elisabeth on what’s your dream date: “A few months ago, our schedules aligned so my husband and I could donate blood together. It was really sweet how everyone there made a fuss to get us two beds next to each other. Granted it only took 15 minutes but we got free sausages afterward and made the most of that.”
Says Peach on five pick-me-ups: “Stephen Colbert once asked Keanu Reeves what happens to us when we die, and he responded, ‘I know that the ones who love us will miss us.'” Adds SanFrannie: “Stephen Colbert’s musing on his mother’s death captured my feelings perfectly: ‘I know it may sound greedy to want more days with a person who lived so long, but the fact that my mother was 92 does not diminish it; it only magnifies the enormity of the room whose door has now quietly shut.'”
