AC/DC makes long-awaited Cleveland return with stadium concert
Tens of thousands of people will take the highway to hell toward Huntington Bank Field Wednesday.
Why it matters: AC/DC's stadium gig is one of the biggest local concerts of the summer and the first time the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band has played Cleveland in nearly a decade.
State of play: It's the final North American stop on the AC/DC "Power Up Tour."
Taylor Momsen's hard rock band The Pretty Reckless will serve as the opening act.
The intrigue: Tour reviews have praised AC/DC's energy, which is saying something for a band whose members are all past retirement age.
The setlist stretches 21 songs, starting with "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" and closing out with "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)" followed by fireworks.
Flashback: Despite hailing from Australia, AC/DC has made Cleveland a regular stop over the decades, starting with club shows in the late 1970s.
Other memorable concerts include the 1979 World Series of Rock and back-to-back nights at Richfield Coliseum in 1988.
AC/DC last played Cleveland on the "Rock or Bust World Tour" at Rocket Arena in 2016 with Axl Rose as the fill-in frontman.

New Yorker Has Viral Theory About Short Nails: 'Recession'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. After years of long, dramatic manicures dominating social media, a new trend is poised to take over: short, neatly kept nails. Bryce Gruber, a veteran commerce director for major North American publishers shared her behind-the-scenes insight from the beauty industry on TikTok in a video that has gained viral attention. "Do you know what's going to be trending by the end of the year?" Gruber said in the video that has already racked up over 6 million views since being shared in May. "And I know it for a fact because the ad budgets were already spent and I sat in on a meeting about it last week." Gruber, 41, from New York, has worked as a commerce editor and director for roughly 20 years, specializing in consumer trends. She revealed that short nails are set to be on-trend this year. "Money is tight for a lot of people right now—people are opting for lower maintenance looks. This, being coupled with the popular 'clean girl' aesthetic has made the short and tidy nails trend a clear, emerging winner for the second half of 2025," she told Newsweek.

Pictures from the viral video where expert Bryce Gruber revealed her prediction for an upcoming 2025 trend. @brycegruber/TikTok Her TikTok explanation went further, revealing an insight she heard from an earlier advertising meeting with a publisher: "Just to give you a heads up, this publisher is one of the biggest in North America and controls a lot of the information that is distributed. I would say women between 25 and 45. If you are between those ages, you definitely read some of these sites, watch some of these TikTok accounts," she said. "The number one thing that I can see—and let me know if you agree, if you're already seeing it—short nails," she continued. "That like big coffin look that everyone was obsessed with, the like long French manicures that were having a moment like a few months ago. That stuff is done." Gruber noted the scale of commitment from brands behind the shift: "Every major nail and beauty company, I mean the L'Oréals, the Revlons, all of them, they have already committed massive amounts of ad spend to this sort of short but nicely kept nail trend. You're going to see it everywhere, and honestly, I'm happy about it because it's easier and I can tell you if I can wash my dishes, I can do all the things with reasonable nails." Industry publications back up her observations. Harper's Bazaar UK recently named "dark, short nails" a standout for 2025, while ELLE Australia earlier reported a "dramatic shift" away from long acrylics toward short, square, or "squoval" shapes. Meanwhile, social media commenters are interpreting the shift as a sign of the times. "Short nails aka the rise of conservatism and recession indicator," wrote one TikTok user. Another dubbed it: "I can't afford to get my nails done trend." Others praised the practicality: "Short nails are easy to maintain and easy to work with." Are short nails an indicator of recession? While this idea of "recession nails" is more of a viral meme than a formal economic measure, it reflects a broader move toward cost-saving beauty habits—similar to trends like "recession brunette" and "recession blonde" which have appeared online. Historically, beauty choices have sometimes mirrored economic conditions, as seen in the "lipstick index"—a concept introduced by Estée Lauder's former chairman to explain why sales of small luxury items like lipstick rise during downturns. Currently, fears of a recession are growing again: According to a study by financial data firm FactSet, of the 451 earnings calls conducted by S&P 500 firms between March 15 and May 15, 121 of these mentioned "recession," equivalent to 27 per cent. These concerns are partly tied to President Donald Trump's trade policies in his second term, with businesses warning of possible lasting damage despite recent tariff rollbacks and temporary pauses.

11 Surprising Facts You've Probably Never Heard Before
I recently read The Wedding People by Alison Espach — 10/10 by the way, highly recommend — and one of the chapters mentioned that when bugs land on your food, they vomit on it before eating it. After getting over the immediate shock and disgust, I immediately had to Google it to see if it was true. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's very, very true. The longer they sit on your food, the more likely it is that they threw up AND pooped on it, particularly on solid foods. "Flies don't have teeth," according to an article from the University of Sydney. "They can't take a bite out of our food, so they have to spit out some enzyme-rich saliva that dissolves the food, allowing them to suck up the resulting soup of regurgitated digestive fluids and partially dissolved most instances, spotting a fly on your food doesn't mean you need to throw it out. While there is little doubt that flies can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites from waste to our food, a single touchdown is unlikely to trigger a chain reaction leading to illness for the average healthy that land out of sight and wander about for a few minutes vomiting and pooping on your food or food preparation area are more of a concern. The more time passes, the greater the chance of pathogens left behind by the flies growing and multiplying on our food. That's when health risks increase." After finding that out, I was inspired to share some other interesting facts. So, without further ado, here we go: Jared Leto gave Margot Robbie a rat as a Suicide Squad gift. Margot and Jared starred in the 2016 David Ayer's film Suicide Squad, based on the popular DC comics. The two got into character to portray the villainous lovers, Harley Quinn and Joker. To show his appreciation, Jared gave Margot a special present."When we shot Suicide Squad, not The Suicide Squad, Mr J (Jared) gave me a rat and he became a beloved pet," Margot said on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "We called him Rat Rat. He liked beer and bath time. Then the landlord of the place I was renting found out I had a rat and said Rat Rat had to go. And so then Jai Courtney, who plays Captain Boomerang, said, 'I'll take Rat Rat.' And then his landlord wasn't cool with that either, and so then one of the costumers on the job took Rat Rat. And then she had to give Rat Rat away, and Rat Rat - she gave him to Guillermo del Toro's daughters [who] apparently have rats." The ice cream used for commercials, TV, and movies, might actually be a completely different food. Oftentimes, when you see ice cream used on the big and small screen, it's actually mashed potatoes. As anyone who has ever eaten ice cream in life knows, the popular dairy product melts very quickly, especially when it's being used under hot studio lights. Companies instead use mashed potatoes because they give a similar look, they don't melt, and by adding food dye, they can easily mimic any ice cream color. Mashed potatoes have also been featured as substitutes for meat.*Bonus: Shaving cream is sometimes used instead of whipped cream and glue is used instead of milk. Leonardo DiCaprio used to be a breakdancer with a unique nickname. Remember those moves he pulled out for The Wolf of Wall Street? Well, that wasn't something he learned for the 2013 film. In fact, Leo was actually a breakdancer when he was younger and was given the nickname The Noodle from his community of breakdancers due to his flexible limbs. He even competed in a breakdancing competition in Germany and placed second. If you haven't seen The Wolf of Wall Street, here's a glimpse of Leo in action: There are "Asian unicorns" in it's not what you think. There's a rare mammal species known as the Saola, native to the Annamite Range in Vietnam and Laos. The Saolas are also known as spindlehorn, Asian unicorn, or infrequently, Vu Quang bovid. The species was first documented in 1992, and they've been rarely seen since. They are reportedly "critically endangered." They're recognized for their sharp parallel horns and white markings on their face. Despite resembling antelope, they're actually related to cattle. Toto the dog was paid more for The Wizard of Oz than some of its human costars. In the iconic 1939 film, Toto was played by a Cairn Terrier named Terry. The canine earned $125 per week. That's nearly triple of what the actors who played the Munchkins were paid. They were only given $50 a week. Ketchup was once used as medicine. Before it became a staple at restaurants, cookouts, and homes around the world, ketchup was once used to cure a string of ailments. That's right, the second most popular condiment on Earth was once prescribed by doctors to cure things like indigestion, diarrheumatism, and jaundice in the 1834, Dr. John Cooke Bennett invented tomato ketchup as a cure and it took off. This was during a time when the Cholera outbreaks swept through communities around the world. In 19th-century America, tomatoes were thought to be deadly and poisonous, but after many tests, tomato ketchup prevailed. It became so popular that Dr. Bennett even made tomato pills. Some of the dinosaur sounds you hear in Jurassic Park are actually animals mating. Creating sounds for an extinct species can be hard. So, Gary Rydstrom, a Lucasfilm sound designer, decided to get creative. The noise the velociraptors make in Jurassic Park is actually the sound of tortoises having sex. Chainsaws were invented to help aid women during childbirth. The hand-cranked chainsaw was invented by Scottish doctors John Aitken and James Jeffray. It was specifically used during a procedure called symphysiotomy, where doctors cut the pubic cartilage to widen the pelvis and create more room to deliver the child. It reportedly provided a "quicker" and "safer" way to perform the procedure versus using knives and bone saws. According to Business Insider, "Two doctors invented the chainsaw in 1780 to make the removal of the pelvic bone easier and less time-consuming during childbirth. It was powered by a hand crank and looked like a modern-day kitchen knife with little teeth on a chain that wound in an oval." Keanu Reeves has a private foundation that he doesn't want his his name connected to. Known for his kind and generous demeanor, Keanu funds a foundation that specializes in cancer research and aids children's hospitals.'I have a private foundation that's been running for five or six years, and it helps aid a couple of children's hospitals and cancer research,' Keanu told Ladies Home Journal in 2009 per Vogue, adding, 'I don't like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does.'And if that wasn't pure enough, Keanu also auctioned off a 15-minute Zoom date with him in June of 2020 to benefit Camp Rainbow Gold, an Idaho-based children's cancer charity. The bidding went up to a whopping $16,600. Belgium used to have a feline-based mail delivery service. In the 1870s, cats were used to deliver mail in Belgium, but the system didn't last long because it proved to be unreliable."Belgian authorities, who in the 1870s recruited 37 cats to deliver mail via waterproof bags attached to their collars. It was an idea posited by the Belgian Society for the Elevation of the Domestic Cat, which felt cats' natural sense of direction was not being fully exploited. During a trial, the cats were rounded up from their villages near Liège, taken a few miles away, and burdened with a note in a bag - with the idea that the cat would return home complete with missive." Lastly, the inventor of the Pringles can is buried in his creation. Pringles can inventor Fred Baur died in 2008 at the age of 89. He made a very interesting request when it came to where his ashes would be preserved."At his request, some of Baur's ashes were buried in the very container that helped launch a billion-dollar snack food," NPR's Scott Horsley reports.
