A PBS senior correspondent apologized Wednesday after falsely telling her audience that former President Trump tried to talk Israel out of a cease-fire amid its ongoing war in Gaza. Judy Woodruff passed off blame for the blunder by “clarifying” that she based the flimsy scoop on outside reporting she had read before broadcasting from the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago on Monday. “The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime...

Some people get weird when they become parents. Annie Romano is a TikTok user who shares her life on social media. When her brother turned his new baby into a tiny Michael Jackson and sent a video to the family chat group, she decided it was too good not to share. @thetishere The moonwalk is killing me #dance #baby #dad #mom #fypシ゚viral ♬ original sound – The T While wearing the baby in a front-facing baby backpack carrier, he manipulates his son’s feet to “dance.” Her brother’s video begins with the baby “marching” onto the screen. Each intentional step matches the beat of the background music. When the pace picks up, and we recognize Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” the baby (with help) exercises some pretty fancy footwork. Image from TikTok. The young dad made sure his son hit each step in the routine. Then came the moonwalk. If you weren’t laughing before this, you were laughing after seeing the baby “perform” trademark Michael Jackson move. Image from TikTok. The simulated moonwalk was an excellent addition to the show. The dance continued with the young father not missing one beat of the popular Michael Jackson hit. When it came time for arm movements, Annie’s brother shifted his grip to raise his son’s arms individually. Image from TikTok. Annie’s brother nailed every move with the baby. He even managed to simulate the signature gravity-defying forward lean that Michael Jackson did so well. No one in the family knows why he felt compelled to do this, but the internet is not sad about it. The original video has gone viral and has been shared over 2.6 million times. Thank you, Annie, for sharing your brother’s silliness with the world. Please share this amazingly silly baby “dancing” to Michael Jackson. It may brighten someone’s day like it did ours.

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM In a society where productivity and work are often considered the markers of success, it’s encouraging to learn that creative hobbies may hold the key to a happier, more fulfilled life. Recent research has shown that arts and crafts, such as painting, knitting, and photography, can have a significant impact on our overall life satisfaction—sometimes more than our work. This emerging evidence suggests that fostering creativity could be a powerful tool for improving public health and enhancing individual wellbeing. More than just a hobby Artsy activities like painting, ceramics, and photography have long been known to provide therapeutic advantages, particularly in clinical settings. However, Dr. Helen Keyes of Anglia Ruskin University and her colleagues adopted a broader approach, looking at how these activities affect the overall population. Their findings, published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health, offer new light on the power of arts and crafts to improve our happiness and sense of purpose. “It’s quite an affordable, accessible, and ultimately popular thing for people to do,” Dr. Keyes said. “And that’s key. You’re not going to be shoving something down people’s throats that they don’t want to do.” These activities are appealing and accessible, making them a viable choice for improving public health. The study: crafting happiness The study looked at data from more than 7,000 people aged 16 and above who took part in the UK Department for Culture, Media, and Sport’s “Taking Part” survey between April 2019 and March 2020. Participants were asked to score several elements of their well-being on a 10-point scale and to indicate if they had participated in any arts and crafts activities in the previous year. The findings were compelling: 37 percent of individuals reported engaged in some type of creative activity. Those who did so consistently reported better levels of enjoyment, life satisfaction, and a sense of purpose in life than those who did not engage in such activities. These findings remained true even after controlling for other factors such as age, gender, economic position, and overall health. “So crafting, in and of itself, is associated with a bigger increase [in wellbeing],” Dr. Keyes said. The study found that participating in arts and crafts increased happiness in a way that was comparable to the natural increase in well-being that occurred over the course of 20 years. More strikingly, the sense of purpose in life was more strongly associated with crafting than with employment. Beyond the workplace: the value of creativity One of the study’s most startling conclusions was that crafting offered a greater sense of purpose than employment. “That was probably our most interesting finding,” Dr. Keyes said. “You would certainly think you get a lot of your sense of worth from being in employment.” This could be because not everyone finds their job rewarding, whereas creative hobbies can provide a sense of mastery, control, and self-expression. While the study did not look into the impact of specific creative hobbies, the overarching conclusion is clear: indulging in any creative activity can considerably improve your well-being. Even though the improvement in life satisfaction associated with arts and crafts was modest (approximately two percent), Dr. Keyes stressed that it is still significant at the population level. “If you’re a national health service, or you’re a government, seeing a two percent increase in the overall well-being of your population is going to be really significant,” she stated. An easy path to better well-being The consequences of this study are substantial. Supporting and promoting creative activities may be a cost-effective and accessible method for governments and health organizations seeking to improve national well-being. “This is something that we’re showing can have quite a big effect compared to those other factors,” Dr. Keyes said, adding that arts and crafts are a simple method to engage people in activities that greatly improve their quality of life. As society grapples with stress and mental health issues, Dr. Keyes and her team’s results provide a refreshing perspective: often the simplest things can have the greatest impact. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting a new hobby, the message is clear: embrace your creativity. It might just result in a happier, more fulfilling existence.
