I texted my children that we got the puppy they’ve been begging me for and sent them a link with pictures. 🐶When they clicked on the link, it took them to a webpage that said YOU’RE GROUNDED. They’ll be spending the weekend retaking our family’s cybersecurity training course.

Great opening but I'm going to push back on "the clocks were striking thirteen." Many readers will find this confusing. Do you want me to add a clarification like "because it was the future"?

The “H3 Podcast,” the show co-hosted by Ethan and Hila Klein, is on indefinite hiatus after Hila said Ethan has been having an affair for the last six months and that the couple has separated. In response to Hila Klein’s allegations, the production crew of “H3 Podcast” said they unanimously agreed that they would no longer work with Ethan Klein. “I am living a nightmare I can’t wake up from. My husband has been having an affair. I have been fed lie after lie after lie for months. Here is the truth,” Hila wrote on Instagram. "The betrayal I feel is immeasurable. The person I loved and trusted for 20 years evaporated overnight. He was my safe place, my partner in marriage, parenting, and business. My only family on this side of the world. How do I even begin to make sense of this?” variety.com/2026/digital/new…
