Running a city is a demanding job that can easily take a toll on physical and mental well-being. But after securing a third term as mayor of Valdobbiadene, Italy, 47-year-old Luciano Fregonese is prioritizing his health. Located in the Veneto region, Valdobbiadene is famous for its prosecco production, and now its mayor is on a mission to shed weight gained during years of long hours and “convivial obligations,” according to The Guardian.

Fregonese’s goal is to walk daily to reduce his weight from 140 kilograms to 90, after years of long hours and “convivial obligations” added to his waistline. “For sure, it was a question of laziness and a sedentary lifestyle too, but being mayor meant I no longer did any sport or physical activity,” Fregonese told the outlet. “The other problem is that I enjoy eating and drinking, also because you eat and drink well here and so it’s not easy to follow a diet.” Fregonese oversees the town with 10,000 residents, which is known for its prosecco manufacturing.

Funerals are generally somber, but Robert Adolph Boehm lived a life full of eccentricity and laughter. So when he passed away at age 74, his youngest son, Charles, wrote an obituary that perfectly captured his father’s unique spirit. Full of wit and humor, Charles’ tribute has since gone viral, according to The Washington Post.

Decades after the first movie in the "Rocky" franchise was released, the movie retains an iconic status among sagas of underdogs rising to sporting glory. The unmatched grit and glamor of this legendary character led to the state of Philadelphia celebrating the day of December 3 as “Rocky Day” every year. During one such celebration of Rocky Day in 2023, Sylvester Stallone came across a miniature version of his character Rocky Balboa, who re-enacted his famous “Sunshine and Rainbows” speech. Stallone loved the little boy’s powerful, gut-punching reprise of his speech so much that he posted its footage on his Instagram page. “This kid is a real-life Rocky,” he wrote in the caption.

Alanis Morissette's 1995 song 'Ironic" was a massive hit, making the top five in Australia, Canada, the U.S., and Norway.

It would go on to be nominated for two Grammys and its video featuring Morissette singing in a large automobile would be nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards. But the song has drawn more than a few raised eyebrows from pedants across the English-speaking world for being about coincidences, not irony. But who cares? It's still a good song.
