Nudity, surrealism, and surveillance

🌞 60, naked, and unstoppable: Elizabeth Hurley stuns in birthday photo

The photo is stunning, but the message behind it is even bolder.

Elizabeth Hurley didn’t just celebrate her 60th, she obliterated every outdated idea about what aging "should" look like.

The Bedazzled and Austin Powers star posed nude in a sun-drenched meadow, glowing with the kind of confidence you only earn after six decades in the spotlight. Then she dropped it on Instagram for her 2.9 million followers and the world took notice.

Long gone are the rules that said women over 60 should disappear into soft fabrics and quiet corners. Hurley is rewriting that script in bold, beautiful font. She’s not alone, either: Designers like Batsheva Hay are putting older women front and center on the runway. Aging, it turns out, can be sexy, powerful, and worth celebrating.

Hurley is not pretending it’s easy. But after ignoring the trolls and mastering the light, she’s got one message for the rest of us: “Women should do whatever the hell they want to do.”

🌰 David Foster Wallace tried to define “Lynchian” using peanut butter. It… worked?

This peanut butter metaphor will mess with your brain.

David Lynch’s films defy logic and explanation, which is exactly what makes them iconic. But leave it to David Foster Wallace to try anyway, turning a 1950s housewife and a jar of JIF into the perfect metaphor for Lynch’s unsettling genius.

The result? A definition so bizarrely specific and darkly funny that it might actually be right.

Lynch’s gift was showing how the creepy always lurks just beneath the mundane. Like how a man might kill his wife over peanut butter brand loyalty, and the cops would understand.

Click through for Wallace’s full theory, Lynch’s own non-answer, and the eerie brilliance that made “Lynchian” a whole vibe.

🔦 This creepy new burglary trick starts with a phone in your grass

That ‘lost’ phone might be watching you

Finding a phone on your lawn might not give you pause. But if it’s wrapped in black duct tape, half buried, and has its camera pointed at your front door?

That’s what Mary Kehoe found, and authorities say it's exactly as nefarious as you’re imagining.

The Android device she spotted was more than litter. It was planted surveillance, complete with a hidden battery charger, discreetly recording the neighborhood. Police say this is a rising tactic: burglars using smartphones to scope out homes before breaking in. Think of it as DIY espionage, but without the cool soundtrack.

Would-be thieves watch the footage to find the best time to strike, spot valuables in driveways or windows, and figure out who’s out of town. One glance at your social media, and they’ve got your schedule.

How to fight back?

➡️ Keep security cameras and motion lights on, even in daylight.

➡️ Avoid real-time vacation posts or geotagged humblebrags.

➡️ Let your neighbors know when you’re away, they can help keep watch.

And that’s just the start. The full story includes what burglars are really doing with your Instagram, why eBay matters more than you'd think, and the one obvious thing too many of us forget to do.

That’s the GOOD for this surprisingly hot Monday. Stay cool out there!
