A Dachshund mistaking an algae-covered lake for grass has the internet in hysterics, with TikTok users finding the fail oddly relatable. In a clip shared by user @oliviaswiftx on August 22, Trevor can be seen hopping across some stepping stones before leaping into the green-coated water, totally unaware it’s not solid ground. Captioned “so elegant,” the footage has received 80,000 likes and over 1,000 shares. ‘Average intelligence’ Although canine intelligence isn’t an easy thing to measure, there are certain breeds perform better than others in some areas....

A message overlaid on the clip posted from the TikTok account @argonavigation read: “Help blow up my dad’s boating app, he’s worked so hard on it and just wants people to try it out.” The video shows a man standing by a table with some fliers at what appeared to be a trade show type event setting. The man looked eager to flag some customers down, as waves of people walked past the table....

In a clip viewed over 5 million times on TikTok, a frugal father posting under the handle BestDad_CEO, real name Eddie Alvarez, showed followers what he does when his children are craving a trip to the Golden Arches. But while his unique approach has won plaudits in some quarters, others have accused Alvarez of pandering to his kids with his attempt at creative parenting.

In the post, shared on Reddit’s Am I The A**hole group, user u/Thereshegoeswithymhe explained he only wanted his children’s names on his arm. The 36-year-old said he has two children, aged 9 and 7, from a previous marriage and a 1-year-old daughter with his current wife. He added his 8-year-old stepson also lives with the family and that his “dad isn’t involved at all.” He continued: “I have the names of my oldest two kids tattooed on my arm....

In a post on November 17 on the popular discussion site Mumsnet, user walkinthewoodstoday shared her distress and asked for advice. “My husband has just sent me a message saying he would like a few nights of silent retreat, and written dates,” she said. “We have a 9-month-old and a 7-year-old. I am not yet back at work but will be soon. I don’t know if I am lazy or struggling with mental health but some days I just find things really hard....

A clip of one man and his daughter’s new pet bulldog went viral earlier this month after his adorable reaction to meeting the puppy for the first time. While another dog dad went the extra mile for their Labrador, wearing a cone of shame in “solidarity” after the pet had a lump removed from his eyelid. Now, another lovable pair has won hearts around the internet thanks to their incredible bond....

We have a 15-game schedule for Tuesday that really lacks in the pitching department. There is one pitcher in a decent spot (Corey Kluber), but the rest all of have question marks. It’ss amazing how few options there are for a full slate with every team in action.

Start ‘Em - Troy Tulowitzki has owned Matt Cain to the tune of .317/.373/.633. He's also clubbed four homers and five doubles. - Joey Votto is 7-for-23 (.304) against Charlie Morton over the past five years. - Brett Gardner owns a .324/.378/.471 triple-slash line against John Lackey. - Assuming Travis Snider's eye/face is okay, he could be worth a spot start against Alfredo Simon. He's 5-for-11 (.455) with a double against the righty....

There are four games on tap for the early slate, and the notable pitchers for those are Jose Quintana vs. the Blue Jays, Michael Fulmer vs. the Dodgers, and Michael Wacha vs. the Pirates. Out of those, Wacha is the one to target. Stephen Strasburg makes his long-awaited return, but it remains to be seen how far the Nationals will push him. Be sure to check on updates before rostering him....

This is a very top-heavy day for pitching. There are several aces on the hill, including Max Scherzer and Felix Hernandez in great matchups, but the rankings fall off a cliff around Aaron Sanchez. Sure, some of these mid-tier guys have been pitching well lately, but they feel more like land mines than potential value picks. (Update: Felix Hernandez landed on the DL with a calf strain; James Paxton will take his place Wednesday night in San Diego)....

How loaded are today’s SP rankings? We have one of last year’s Cy Young winners at No. 12 and a guy who had a 16-K game this year at No. 14. If you really want, you can still go cheap and play matchups with someone like Juan Nicasio against the Braves or go for a boom-or-bust option like Carlos Rodon against the strikeout-prone Astros. But you don’t really need to do that today with so many upper-tier hurlers, so it’s going to come down to finding a great one, not merely a good one....

There are aces galore Thursday and all are in good to great matchups, which means none should be too heavily owned in daily fantasy baseball contests. Because of the abundance of awesome arms, I’d avoid paying top-top dollar on the mound. That said, you should still spend up to make sure you keep pace with ace stats.

Ivan Nova (vs. CIN) and Jason Hammel (vs. OAK) don’t have huge strikeout upside, but both are solid veterans with decent matchups in good parks opposite inexperienced starters. If you’re looking for a boom-or-bust type who could rack up points with Ks, Blake Snell (at NYY), Vince Velasquez (vs. NYM), and maybe Zack Wheeler (at PHI) are your guys, but it would shock no one if they couldn’t get past the fifth inning....
