Together we can end loneliness. via Did You Know


On Father's Day, many people honor not just their dads but potentially the other father figures in their lives, like their grandfathers and uncles, a friend who's an a great role model, and of course, co-parents and exes.
But that was not the path that supermodel Gisele Bündchen chose to take this Father's Day, and people had serious thoughts about it.
In an otherwise touching tribute on Father's Day, Bündchen shared photos of her current husband, Joaquim Valente, along with shots of him with their one-year-old son and with his stepchildren, Bündchen's children from her first marriage.
Bündchen wrote:
"Happy Father’s Day [Joaquim]!"
"Thank you for leading by example, and for the values you embody: love, humility, integrity, discipline, kindness, and consistency. You are an incredible role model."
"We are all so grateful for you, and we love you so much."
"And dad, thank you for your unconditional love, wisdom, and support through every stage of my life."
"Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there."

Notably, she left out ex-husband Tom Brady, despite being married to him for almost 14 years and raising three children together, including 16-year-old Benjamin and 13-year-old Vivian, and Brady's son with Bridget Moynahan, 18-year-old Jack, who Bündchen helped raise from the time he was born.
Bündchen and Brady divorced in 2022. The following year, she married Valente, her long-time jiu-jitsu instructor, and they share a 1-year-old son.
Regarding what caused the split, the supermodel reassured fans that she and Brady simply grew apart and felt that co-parenting and being friends would be better for their relationship and their children than remaining married would be.
Some applauded Bündchen and Valente for the lovely life they're building together.






But others were quick to clock the absence of Brady in her post.





Brady marked this year's Mother's Day by sharing a batch of photos on his Instagram Stories to honor the women in his life, including exes Bündchen and Moynahan.
There are obviously situations where it would make little sense for a person to honor their ex on Father's Day or Mother's Day. But in this case, Bündchen's oversight raised some eyebrows.
In a move that left viewers in the Quad Cities area of Iowa and Illinois stunned, Emmy winning morning news anchor Dustin Nolan announced he was leaving the news industry as his co-anchor and wife, Jenna Jackson, sat at the news desk by his side.
On Friday, KWQC-TV 6 viewers watched live as Nolan made his announcement. In it, Nolan criticized the state of the mainstream local press in the United States, which is increasingly controlled by fewer and fewer corporations.
Nolan stated:
"I have chosen to step away from the news industry. Before I say goodbye, I just want to say, I hope every one of you that’s allowed me to be a part of your mornings knows just how important I have taken this job, how much it means to me that you’ve trusted me these past few years to bring you the news in the morning."
"When it comes to this job, all I’ve ever wanted to do is report on the issues that really matter. I’ve always believed that we, as a local news station, owe you, the viewers, the best that we can do, because without you, none of us would be able to do this job."
You can see his emotional speech here:
@kwqc.news KWQC TV6 morning anchor Dustin Nolan announced on-air Friday that he’s leaving the station and stepping away from the news industry. Nolan thanked viewers for welcoming him into their mornings and said he’s worked to be transparent and deliver the facts, calling local news a public service to the Quad Cities. He also reflected on the importance of covering issues that matter, even when uncomfortable, and credited his wife Jenna—his co-anchor on the desk and “co-anchor in life”—along with other colleagues for their support. Nolan closed with a final sign-off to viewers: “Good day and goodbye.” #quadcities #iowanews #anchorsignoff #emotionalgoodbye #kwqc #local #news #dustinnolan #gooddayandgoodbye
Nolan continued:
"I also believe that we, as a local news station, have to be more than trends or sanitized news, because it makes people uncomfortable. That’s why the facts matter, and that’s why we do what we do here. We have to take people out of their bubbles and comfort zones and make them think about the world we all live in."
Nolan then praised his wife, who is expected to remain at the Davenport, Iowa station.
People wished him well and praised his character.








Like most local television stations, KWQC-TV 6—which serves the Quad Cities of Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa and Rock Island and Moline, Illinois—is owned and operated by an out of state corporation, the Atlanta, Georgia-based Gray Media.
Gray is the third-largest television station operator in the United States, by number of stations, behind Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group. Gray Media owns or operates 180 stations across the United States in 113 markets.
Such corporate broadcast entities have come under fire for eliminating local news and replacing it with packaged propaganda to promote corporate interests and for forcing their stations to recite rhetoric on air.
South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was dragged online after she shared a post warning about "radical transgender experiments" being performed on mice, only to be given a lesson about transgenic mice.
Mace, who recently lost her bid for South Carolina Governor, claimed in a post on X that government funding was backing “radical transgender experiments” on animals.
Describing the research as “ideological cruelty paid for by the American taxpayers,” she used the moment to promote the TRANS MICE Act, legislation she introduced in July that remains stalled in the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
She wrote:
"Animals should not be used for radical transgender experiments. This is not science. This is ideological cruelty paid for by the American taxpayers."
"Our TRANS MICE Act ends it. No federal funds may be used to conduct, support, or fund research aimed at altering an animal's biological sex. No hormones. No surgeries. No taxpayer dollars spent mutilating animals in the name of transgender ideology."
"This legislation brings accountability, ends taxpayer-funded cruelty, and ensures science serves the public, not ideology."
Mace was quickly hit with a Community Note citing resources from the National Institutes of Health and the advocacy group Americans for Medical Progress explaining that “trans mice” are not related to transgender issues:
“Transgenic mice are defined as mice that have incorporated foreign DNA into their genome, allowing for the study of gene function and disease mechanisms, particularly in cancer research."
You can see her post below.
Rather than acknowledge the correction, Mace doubled down the following day, claiming her "post is not about transgenic mice" but instead "about federally funded transgender-related experiments on animals.” However, she did not provide specific examples of the research she was criticizing in the follow-up post.
Mace wasn't fooling anyone and she was swiftly mocked for her error.
The post was downright weird but pretty on-brand coming from Mace, who has said transgender people are “mentally ill” and “should be in a straitjacket.”
Mace has repeatedly attacked transgender people since 2024, garnering significant attention after proposing a resolution to bar Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride from using women’s facilities at the Capitol complex.
In Congress, she has scored just 14 and 15 out of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s Congressional Scorecard. She also voted against the Equality Act, which seeks to ban discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals, and opposed reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act because it included protections for transgender inmates.
Conservative podcaster Joe Rogan had people cringing after revealing President Donald Trump's unhinged response after Rogan expressed concern about a possible terrorist attack at the White House's UFC Freedom 250 event.
During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan was joined by MMA coach Trevor Wittman and UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, who competed at the Freedom 250 event held inside a temporary arena erected on the White House South Lawn.
Wittman admitted he had wondered whether such a large-scale event at the White House could encounter serious problems. Gaethje responded with dark humor, joking that if something had gone wrong, “how legendary would that be?”
Rogan then shared Trump's response after Rogan, who was an on-air commentator for the event, expressed some concern over a possible terrorist attack:
“I said to Trump, I hope we don’t die in a terrorist attack. He goes, we gotta go somehow. I go, what the f**k, dude?”
You can hear what he said in the video below.
People were disturbed by Trump's reaction and not happy one bit to hear Rogan be so cavalier about the whole thing either.
Rogan's remarks came just days after authorities said they had foiled an alleged plot to attack the UFC event at the White House. According to court documents unsealed last week, the suspects discussed using explosive-laden drones over the venue before opening fire on attendees as they fled.
Five people have been arrested in connection with the alleged scheme and charged with conspiracy to commit murder, among other offenses. Investigators said they recovered firearms, ammunition and encrypted messages involving 19 suspected participants.
The messages reportedly included maps and photographs of the area, as well as discussions about potential escape routes following the planned attack. Secret Service Director Sean Curran said the agency “worked closely with the FBI throughout this investigation.”
We wonder if they're just as chill about it.
Lately, Anne Hathaway's been wowing fans with her sharp good looks during the Devil Wears Prada 2 press run and, of course, in the movie itself, and now she's wowing fans with some very special news.
In a beautifully picturesque room that Jane Austen would love, Hathaway stepped in from stage left, wearing a long, white, flowy outfit with her arms hugging herself.
While smiling at the camera, she lowered her arms to cup her hands under her belly, which was slightly revealed—and also revealed that she was pregnant.
Wordlessly, she smiled at the camera, bit her lower lip in excitement, hugged her stomach, and stepped out of frame again, clearly too excited to stick around.
You can watch the announcement here:
Fans were tickled by how sweet and simple the announcement was.






Others couldn't help but bring back memories of The Devil Wears Prada.


And, of course, we have to consider a potential heir to Genovia in the Princess Diaries universe.





Hathaway and husband Adam Shulman share an 8-year-old son, Jonathan, and a 4-year-old son, Jack. It will be wonderful to see who they welcome into the family next!
Hathaway is an incredible example of having it all, apparently at any age. She achieved phenomenal success as an actress before marrying and having her two sons, and she's continued to dazzle with her acting career since becoming a mom. There's no doubt that will continue after her third child is born, and long into the future.
At 43, Hathaway is defying the odds of what people have long believed possible regarding age and pregnancy. While genetics and other health factors inevitably play a critical role, Hathaway is an inspiration for those who might have otherwise thought it was too late.
