What Are Today's Strands Answers?
Today's spangram is: LEFTOVERS
Here's the full list of words:
Here's the completed Strands grid:
Finding the remainder, to me, is a part of long division which left me feeling rather horrified. I hate long division. I don't want to find the remainder or do any of that nonsense. That's why god invented calculators! But after looking for math or division words, I came across RESIDUE and then DREGS and TRACE. At this point, I knew where the spangram would go and worked backwards, uncovering LEFTOVERS. The last few words were tough to uncover even with everything else plugged in, but eventually I found VESTIGE and REMNANT and last, but not least, SOUVENIR, which still feels out of place for this puzzle's theme. I'm left with a completed grid. Sometimes you end up with more than the dregs, after all.

Brandon Blackstock's death certificate says seizures played significant role
More details of the death of Brandon Blackstock, the talent manager and former husband of Kelly Clarkson, have come to light ahead of his Aug. 17 memorial service. A death certificate, officially filed Thursday in Butte, Montana, confirmed the 48-year-old died of natural causes related to malignant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. But the father of four, who battled cancer for three years, also suffered from seizures. They were listed as 'significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause,' according to the documents obtained by TMZ and People. Blackstock died on Aug. 7 at his home in Butte while under hospice care, according to the Silver Bow County coroner, who initially confirmed the details of his cancer to People. Though Blackstock was known for overseeing the careers of Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton and at one time Clarkson, his death certificate listed his occupation as a producer in the rodeo industry. The documents also confirmed that an autopsy was not performed and that Blackstock was cremated. An online obituary for Blackstock made no mention of Clarkson, but did name her former production assistant Brittney Marie Jones — referring to her his 'beautiful and loving partner in life and business.' According to Us Weekly, an insider revealed that Jones 'moved to Montana' and helped Blackstock build his Valley View Rodeo in 2023. Clarkson and Blackstock married in 2013. The couple later welcomed two children — daughter River, now 11, and son Remington, 9 — before the 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' singer filed for divorce in 2020. Following a messy legal battle, the pair finalized their divorce in March 2022. Prior to his relationship with the Grammy and Daytime Emmy winner, Blackstock was married to Melissa Ashworth from 2001 to 2012, with whom he shared 23-year-old daughter Savannah and 18-year-old son Seth. He was expecting his third grandchild before his death.

Damar Hamlin reveals new tattoo inspired by cardiac arrest incident
Behind every tattoo is a story – and Damar Hamlin's is a doozy. The Buffalo Bills safety is showing off some new ink ahead of the 2025 NFL season, which will be his second since suffering cardiac arrest on the field in Cincinnati. His new art, created by famed tattoo artist Ganga, which covers Hamlin's entire back, works to convey everything about the happenings on the field from that January day. When Hamlin woke up following the near-fatal incident, he famously asked, "Did we win?" Those words are featured prominently on Hamlin's back, surrounded by a "Monday Night Football" logo along with words of encouragement and a "Pray for Damar" flag. Ganga also added a Paycor Stadium element to the entire display, which was famously the site of Hamlin's cardiac arrest. Coupled with plenty of No. 3's, the tattoo managed to accomplish just about every element of the incident. Hamlin's heart stopped after making a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals on "Monday Night Football" on Jan. 2, 2023. He briefly got up and then fell to the ground, prompting a rush of medical personnel onto the field. After providing CPR, Hamlin was loaded onto a stretcher and into an ambulance. The game was suspended and postponed. In the meantime, Hamlin spent time on a ventilator before being able to talk to his family and breathe on his own on Jan. 6. It was an unforgettable moment in NFL history, one that Hamlin would never forget, especially. Now he has the entire story on his back.

Sydney Sweeney's ‘Americana': Do Rotten Tomatoes Reviews Laud The Film?
Sydney Sweeney's new dark crime comedy Americana is new in theaters this weekend. How are Rotten Tomatoes critics reacting to the film amid the actor's American Eagle commercial controversy? Written and directed by Tony Tost, Americana opens in limited release in theaters on Friday. The film surrounds a rare Native American artifact and how various groups clash to gain possession of it. The official summary for Americana reads, 'After the artifact falls onto the black market, a shy waitress with big dreams (Sydney Sweeney) teams up with a lovelorn military veteran (Paul Walter Hauser) to gain possession of it, putting themselves of the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal (Eric Dane) working on behalf of a Western antiquities dealer (Simon Rex). 'Bloodshed ensues when others join the battle, including the leader of an indigenous group (Zahn McClarnon) and a desperate woman fleeing her mysterious past (Halsey).' As of Thursday, Rotten Tomatoes critics have given Americana an 83% 'fresh' rating based on 18 reviews. RT's Consensus, audience summary and Popcornmeter score based on verified user ratings are still pending. How Are Individual Critics Reacting To 'Americana'? Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times is among the top critics on RT who gives Americana a 'fresh' rating, calling the film in his review summary 'a slick and skillful debut feature from the writer-director Tony Tost.' Valerie Complex of Deadline Hollywood Daily also gives Americana a 'fresh' rating on RT, writing, 'Tony Tost's direction manages to avoid the common pitfalls first-time directors encounter by overcomplicating things, but the director keeps it simple by letting characters work within their frame.' Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter is also lauding Americana, writing in his 'fresh' review summary on RT, '[Tony] Tost's portrayal of characters driven by unfettered greed or justifiable need gives voice to often-ignored segments of society as they strive for agency and respect — an admirable quality in any narrative genre.' Among Americana's detractors on RT is Johnny Oleksinski of The New York Post, who calls the film in his 'rotten' review summary 'a copycat Coen Brothers yarn with the depth of a tortilla.' Also giving the film a 'rotten' review on RT is Tim Grierson of Screen International, who writes, 'Americana wants to present forgotten everyday people who possess endearingly unusual traits. But Tost's writing is not sharp enough to allow his characters to rise above their mannerisms.' Nick Schager of The Daily Beast also slams Americana in his rotten review summary on RT, calling the film 'a sluggish and monotonous country-ified neo-noir that fails to innovate and, worse, to utilize its magnetic leading lady and her capable co-stars.' Rated R, Americana, starring Sydney Sweeney, Paul Walter Hauser and Halsey, opens in limited release in theaters on Friday.
