TikTok has become a great place for finding life hacks and one of the best follows is @Sidneyraz. His hook is that he shows people the "things I wish I knew before I was in my 30s." Most of his life hacks are simple, domestic tricks for cleaning the house or preparing food. But he also shares some financial advice and makes the personal admission that "not being hungover is better than being drunk." That's a lesson that a lot of us wish we learned sooner. Like a lot of folks, Sidney is learning a lot of domestic skills in his third decade and that makes sense. That's the time when people begin to settle down with a significant other and pick up more domestic skills. The good news is that he's not going through this life change alone. He wants to share all of it with you. Here are 11 of his best life hacks.

Once upon a time, Dana Carvey was practically synonymous with Saturday Night Live, a fixture of the show not only for his iconic original characters like Garth Algar and Grumpy Old Man, but his dead-on, uncanny and laugh-out-loud funny impressions. Not least of which being his incredible George H.W. Bush during the 1992 election. In an epic return to SNL, Carvey proved he’s still got it in his portrayal of Joe Biden. In a sea of truly masterful impressions–Maya Rudolph, as to be expected, nailed it as Kamala Harris, right down to the laugh, Jim Gaffigan brought delightful “Big Dad Energy” as Tim Walz, even Andy Sandberg held his own as Douglas Emhoff—Carvey’s meandering, rambling and at times completely unhinged performance stood out. It was a brilliant reminder of what makes Carvey so special as a performer in the first place. Though each perfectly mimicked mannerism certainly poked fun, there was never any underlying mean spiritedness or forced political agenda. In fact, Carvey told David Spade on his Fly on the Wall podcast that honoring humor over any political message was the “the true north star” to bring what even this master impressionist called a “trickier” character to life. Seems like Carvey’s instinct is as impeccable as ever though, cause he even managed to do the impossible of making Biden’s now signature ““Guess what? And by the way . . .” line funny every. single. time. - YouTube www.youtube.com The whole thing made people fall in love with Carvey all over again.“All impressions were great. But, Carvy’s Biden was a gut laugh and a half. He hasn’t lost it since the Church Lady (my fav) and his impression of George H.W. Bush in the 90’s.”"’But guess what...and by the way…’ gosh Dana Carvey made that better than it was probably supposed to be”“Dana Carvey was such a great surprise. He's a perfect Joe Biden.”‘Awww, bringing a veteran like DANA CARVEY back to do Biden was genius!”“I cannot believe they actually got Dana back for Biden! This cold open is the best group of impressionists they have had together in DECADES.”“Everyone was so great here, but Dana Carvey? He is so great at just totally becoming the person he is impersonating! All of the mannerisms, the voice, the pacing, the physical traits...he is the GOAT!”“DANA CARVEYS' STILL GOT IT!! (not that I doubted it for a minute!!)”“Dana Carvey as always the GOAT SNL political impressionist.”Here’s to an SNL season that’s just as delightfully entertaining as this Cold Open was.

The next stage of the Big Middle East War has begun.  On Monday, IDF troops crossed the border and entered southern Lebanon.  Over and over again, Hezbollah has stated that there will be “all-out war” if this happens.  So now we will watch and see what happens in the coming hours.  Will Hezbollah decide to launch thousands upon thousands of missiles toward Israeli cities?  Will other parties join the fight?  This stage of the war is going to look completely different from Israel’s war against Hamas.  Hezbollah is a formidable enemy, and it has very powerful friends. Earlier on Monday, the Washington Post was reporting that Israel was “planning a limited ground operation in Lebanon”… Israel is planning a limited ground operation in Lebanon that could start imminently, Israel has told Washington, a U.S. official said — an account corroborated by an Israeli familiar with military deliberations. Israel’s planned campaign would be smaller than its last war against Hezbollah in 2006 and would focus on clearing out militant infrastructure along the border to remove the threat to Israeli border communities, the U.S. official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private talks between the two governments. Of course using the word “limited” is not going to make Hezbollah feel better about things one bit. For Hezbollah, this is the big showdown that they have been preparing for all these years. As Monday progressed, it became clear that something big was about to happen.  We were being told that “hundreds of Israeli tanks” were lined up on the border, and that usually only means one thing… Hundreds of Israeli tanks have lined up along the Lebanon border as fears grow over an anticipated ground invasion that could plunge the Middle East into an all-out war. It came as Israel also launched a fresh wave of airstrikes against Houthi ­targets in Yemen on Sunday amid fears that the raging conflict could spill out across the region. The Israel-Hamas war has escalated in recent days after the IDF said it had wiped out Hezbollah’s top brass in the airstrike on southern Beirut that killed the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The Biden administration was hoping for peace until the very last moment, but everyone could see that their efforts weren’t going to make a difference. Just a little while ago, the Jerusalem Post reported that “IDF soldiers entered southern Lebanon”… IDF soldiers entered southern Lebanon as part of a ground assault on Monday night as the conflict with Hezbollah continues to escalate, AFP reported. This is the first IDF ground operation in Lebanon since the Second Lebanon War in 2006. This follows earlier reports that Israel notified the US that it intends to launch a limited ground operation into Lebanon that could begin within hours, a US official confirmed to CBS on Monday. Other news sources have reported that an Israeli incursion could come within the coming days. There is no going back now. I know that I have been saying that a lot lately, but it is true. When asked about what was happening, one retired Israeli general told CNN that this “is the moment”… “This is the moment,” Retired Israeli Brig. Gen. Aviv Amiri has told CNN. The southern areas were reportedly subject to carpet bombing raids within the hours prior to the border breach. “We cannot create terms for Israelis to return to their homes without pushing Hezbollah out of South Lebanon, certainly at minimum eight miles, which would be anti-tank missile range,” Amiri has said. Even if the Israelis are able to push Hezbollah all the way back to the Litani River, do they actually believe that this will be the end of it? No way. As long as there is a single IDF soldier on Lebanese soil, Hezbollah will be fighting with everything that they have got. On Monday, Hezbollah’s acting leader insisted that his organization is ready for war… Despite the body blows dealt by Israel, Hezbollah’s deputy leader claimed Monday that the group’s “military capabilities are solid,” that it “will continue along the same path” it has been on for months – and that it is ready for a war with Israel. When Israel went into Gaza, Hamas really didn’t have anyone else that it could depend upon. But Hezbollah is a completely different story. For months, fighters from all over the Middle East have been pouring into southern Lebanon. And the rest of Hezbollah’s alliance is not just going to sit there and watch Hezbollah get defeated. In fact, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is already calling for other Islamic nations to join the fight… In a pre-recorded interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” President Masoud Pezeshkian placed the blame for the ongoing violence in that region squarely on Israel, as opposed to his own country or Hezbollah, the belligerent group it has sponsored for decades. “Hezbollah by herself cannot stand against a country that is armed to the teeth,” he told Zakaria, “and has access to weapons systems that are far superior to anything else.” Speaking to Zakaria through an interpreter, Pezeshkian added: “Islamic countries must convene meeting in order to formulate a reaction to what is occurring. Now, if we’re speaking of Hezbollah alone, what can Hezbollah do alone? The regional countries, Islamic countries must sit together.” I have a feeling that this thing is going to escalate quite rapidly. And as I discussed the other day, this is all happening as “the Comet of the Century” is flying through the sky above our heads and a “ring of fire” solar eclipse is about to appear on Rosh Hashanah. Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine just continues to escalate as well. In fact, the Russians just established a new monthly record for drone barrages of Ukrainian cities… Russia fired missiles and drones at 11 regions of Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force said Monday, in a 33rd consecutive night of aerial attacks behind the front line and set a new monthly record of drone barrages. In Kyiv, multiple explosions and machine gun fire could be heard throughout the night as the Ukrainian capital’s air defenses fought off a drone attack for five hours. We really are living at a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, and it appears that global events are about to spiral completely out of control. I realize that Israel is hoping for a “limited” war in Lebanon, but the truth is that there isn’t going to be anything “limited” about what is coming. Both sides are willing to do whatever it takes to win, and the horrifying devastation that we will soon see in the Middle East will shock the entire planet.

by Caitlin Johnstone, Caitlin Johnstone: Israel has always wanted to grab more land and eliminate the populations who oppose it.
