UK rapper Christopha's latest tune "Listening To" explores mental health from a different perspective. The jazz-hop offering has a smooth head-nodding groove, bright guitar licks, and summer-drenched textures but the lyrics dive into the dark crevices of the mind. Here, the rapper details how intrusive thoughts and constantly entertaining negative ideas can be destructive to one's life. He digs deep and uses himself as an example to pass on the message with lines like "No one hurts us more than we hurt ourself/Self-harming till it's suicide check your mental health/Protect it dearly can get scary/Check your friends dem as well" as he implores us to do the needful.

Such was the case for one Redditor’s family, and now the wife’s sibling is asking “Am I The Assh*le” (AITA) if she wasn’t being forceful enough in their warnings.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
