- Martha Stewart charged people a lot of money to shop at her expensive Westchester yard sale, like a boss.
- Today in this thing where an urbane news outlet asks an unvaccinated person with COVID if they have regrets: The Times introduces us to a New Jersey cop who admits he "wouldn't have gotten as sick" if he hadn't avoided his shots. (Instead, he was hospitalized for 49 days.)

- The FDA keeps fielding complaints about people getting diarrhea from Lucky Charms, though no scientific evidence has emerged suggesting that the marshmallow cereal is the cause.
