Goats Taking a Break from 'Pulling Weeds' Are Making Everybody Want to Clock Out for the Day
If there's one thing goats like to do, it's eat, and they'll eat just about anything. Many people who have goats don't ever have to worry about weeds because goats will eat them all for them. TikToker Jjaackei has pet goats who were supposed to be doing just that in mid-June, but she found them taking a break from the job.
The video is short - it's only 10 seconds long - but that's all the time you need to see the two lazy goats taking a break by resting in some lawn chairs with a fan blowing directly on them underneath the home's patio. They look very happy to be there, too!
Well, those two goats made themselves right at home! We wonder if this is their normal MO or if this is the first time that she's caught them taking unscheduled breaks during working hours. And how could she be mad at them? They look so cute! It's hysterical to see them hanging out like they own the place!Jjaackei's video went immediately viral and racked up more than 9 million views and viewers left close to 20 thousand comments; some of them were really funny; we had as much fun reading through them as watching the video!
Viewer @Donuts_and_Deadlifts pointed out, "Ma'am, your lawn mowers are broken!" @DarkNerdo joked, "This is their federally mandated break. Have you offered them a beverage?" @GenetheCapybara chimed in with, "They are one step away from unionizing."
@Wyatt shared: "Some iced tea would be nice." @Carrie played devil's advocate, "Well, to be fair, the fan and chairs were right there..." Another commenter added, "Those chairs aren't going to sit in themselves." @MissLark said, "At least they are behaving. Mine would have already eaten the chairs. LOL!"
Commenter @Chelle pointed out, "Ooooo you got the bougee goats LOL!" @Red headed teacher added, "They're like, 'Girrrrl this place is niiiice!' haha!!"@Momma Fergie said what the goats were thinking, "Didn't the brochure say there was a pool here?'
@Jan made everybody laugh when she said, "These goats are NOT goat-ing." and @randomvloger121 replied, "These goats are the GOATs!"

Vanessa Hudgens Announces Her Second Pregnancy in a Bump-Baring Boho Two-Piece

This comes after the birth of their first child in July Hudgens and her husband Cole Tucker are expecting baby number two. The High School Musical actress and the baseball player shared the news with an Instagram post on July 12. The post featured a carousel of images of the couple posing outside. In the photos, Hudgens wore a matching boho two-piece. The white lace top was buttoned up from the neck down to the ribs. She left it open revealing her growing baby bump. She wore a matching white maxi skirt under the bump. She finished off her boho chic look with a few stacked brown and gold bangles and gold rings, and she wore her hair down in loose waves. As for Tucker, she posed behind his wife in a fresh white t-shirt and blue pants. 'Round two!!!!,' Hudgens captioned the post. Hudgens and Tucker met in 2021 during an online meditation session. 'Very random, yes. Zoom, you've got to love it," she later said to Entertainment Tonight. The pair got engaged in 2023 and tied the knot in Mexico the same year. In March, Hudgens revealed that she was pregnant with her first child while wearing a form-fitting black dress at the 2024 Oscars. In July 2024, Hudgens and Tucker welcomed their first child. The news was revealed after paparazzi snapped the couple leaving a hospital in Santa Monica with their newborn. Hudgens later addressed the 'disappointing' way the news was revealed on social media. "We're disappointed that our family's privacy was disrespected and exploited during this very special time due to the greed of a long lens camera feeding the media," she wrote in an Instagram story, adding, "Despite all of that, mom dad and baby are happy and healthy." Earlier this year, Hudgens opened up about becoming a mother on Instagram for Mother's Day. 'Becoming a mother has been the hardest, most exhausting but also incredibly fulfilling and joyous chapter of my life,' she wrote. 'I couldn't be more grateful for my little family. Happy Mother's Day to all who've done their time or are in the grind. The power mamas hold is truly supernatural and I admire us all 🥰❤️💪🏽.' Read the original article on InStyle

Stephen King's 'The Institute' sets gifted children against nefarious adults
"The Institute," a 2019 novel by Stephen King, Maine's Master of the Macabre — or horror, I just said macabre for the alliteration — has become a miniseries with some major additions and minor emendations. Premiering Sunday on MGM+, it belongs to a popular genre in which superpowerful young'uns are gathered in some sort of academy, and more specifically to one in which children with extraordinary powers are weaponized by adults for … reasons. They always have reasons, those cruel adults. The child at the center of the story is 14-year-old Luke Ellis (Joe Freeman, who shoulders a lot of dramatic weight), a genius with a mostly untapped ability to move things with his mind. (Classic power!) One night while Luke is asleep, people break into his house, and when he wakes in the morning in his bed, you know as well as I that what he'll find outside his bedroom door is not the rest of his house — just like Patrick McGoohan in "The Prisoner," one of several other works for the screen that may cross your mind as the show goes on. "Stranger Things," "The Matrix," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "The Breakfast Club" and "Severance" are some others that came to my mind. Luke is in the Institute, a drab complex, whose young inmates are identified either as "TK" (telekinetic) or "TP" (telepathic), or once in a blue moon, "PC" (precognitive). Just how Luke's kidnappers fixed on him in the first place is something for you not to think about. But there he is, and because he is also a genius, his warders think he might be more than usually useful to them. Ms. Sigsby (Mary-Louise Parker) runs the place; her cheery tone and promises of fun food and no bedtime does not hide from you, or from Luke, the fact that she is a liar. That she tells Luke he's there as part of a project to "serve not just your country but the whole world" is not something to impress any kidnapped teenager. Aiding and abetting Sigsby are sepulchral security head Stackhouse (Julian Richings), who at one point will speak the words "unjustly vilified term final solution"; Tony (Jason Diaz), an almost comically sadistic orderly; and Dr. Hendricks (Robert Joy), who has cooked up the pseudoscientific nonsense at the heart of the plan and puts Luke through a variety of upsetting "tests." Housekeeper Maureen (Jane Luk) is nice, though — not to be completely trusted, necessarily, but nice. Meanwhile, handsome Tim Jamieson (Ben Barnes), a former policeman, decorated for an incident that left him bad about feeling decorated, hitchhikes into town — the town near the Institute, whatever it's called — and gets himself a job with the local constabulary as its "nightknocker," checking that businesses have locked their doors and the streets are trouble free. At the police station, he meets Officer Wendy Gullickson (Hannah Galway), which makes space for some light guy-gal vibing, while his nocturnal peregrinations will bring him into contact with Annie (Mary Walsh), a street person and conspiracy theorist, who does know an actual thing or two, and who will inspire Tim to poke around that place up on the hill with the guards and the barbed-wire fence. He may not be a cop anymore, but he is not, he says, "the kind of guy who can look the other way." At the mostly empty, sort of shabby Institute — like a student center that hasn't been updated in 30 years, because what's the point — Luke meets fellow inmates Kalisha (Simone Miller), who inexplicably kisses him upon first meeting, Iris (Birva Pandya), cool kid Nick (Fionn Laird), and later little Avery (Viggo Hanvelt), who may prove the most powerful of all. The institute has a Front Hall and a Back Hall; at some point, kids from the former are transferred to the latter, which completes a "graduation" the staff mark with a cake and candles. (They're told that after doing time in the Back Hall, they'll be going home, which could not possibly be part of the plan.) The meaning of the column of smoke rising from one of the compound's buildings should be immediately obvious. Written by Benjamin Cavell (who co-wrote the 2020 adaptation of King's "The Stand") and directed by Jack Bender (King's "Mr. Mercedes"), it drags at times and isn't particularly interesting to look at, though there's action and a few special effects toward the end, which, King being King, isn't over until it's over — and it never is. Parker is always good to watch, and her Mrs. Sigsby is given some material to make her seem human — if not quite to humanize her — but nothing regarding the Institute and its complicated plans and methods really makes any sense, even in King's made-world. Still, if you regard "The Institute" as a kind of YA novel about resistance and revolt, and a metaphor for the way young people have been sacrificed by the old to feed their agendas and wars, it has some legs.
