’90s kids still queue the same eight autumn favorites every year, from talking pets and Sanderson witches to rocket boys, because those movies still feel like home. When the air turns sharp and the evenings get longer, a lot of adults who grew up in the 1990s reach for the same VHS-era titles they first loved as kids. Mental Floss gathered eight of those films and framed them as the ones that still usher in the season, nostalgia first, spectacle second. These are not prestige reboots or lecture pieces. They are family adventures, gentle spookiness, and small-town grit that still play clean on a couch in October. Talking pets covered more than 200 miles Disney’s 1993 reboot of Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey sent Chance, Shadow,…Open

Actor George Clooney named three Democrats he is watching for 2028, but early national numbers show his shortlist lagging far behind other party names after last year’s loss. Clooney spoke at The Future of Creativity event in Venice in September and singled out Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear as figures drawing his attention ahead of the next presidential cycle. The Hollywood star and longtime Democratic fundraiser said he has not settled on anyone and will wait until after the November 3 midterms before making an endorsement. He also ruled out a run of his own. Newsweek reported the remarks and stacked them against current polling averages, state races, and prediction-market odds for…Open

What is Andy Beshear's position on who should lead the Democratic party, and how does his national polling reflect that stance?
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has stated his belief that the next president should be a Democratic governor, arguing that they bring necessary executive experience. Despite this "executive-experience pitch," early data shows him sitting near the back of the field, with a 4 percent national average in a September Big Data Poll and a 3 percent share in Polymarket odds.

DESCRIPTION There are endless discussions demanding reparations from White Americans for slavery. These discussions are nonsensical collective guilt narratives, but what if we applied some of their logic back at them, and took an honest look at the debts owed between groups?
