A new survey found that young adults ages 18 to 29 are leading the way when it comes to everyday kindness, performing an average of five generous acts each week. More than 80% of Gen Zers consider themselves generous, with many donating to charity, volunteering their time, or helping people in need. 

That said, every generation is pitching in. Millennials are the biggest financial donors, while Boomers are especially likely to donate goods and lend a helping hand on a regular basis. 

The survey also found that generosity isn't just good for the recipient. Nearly three-quarters of people said helping others boosts their mental well-being, and more than three-quarters said it simply makes them happier. 

As for the most common good deeds? Donating unwanted items, giving to charity, treating friends to gifts, helping strangers, and even buying someone a coffee all made the list.

Tim's News You Can't Use 

Drinking coffee can interfere with your sleep, even a single cup of morning Joe. A Polish study, published in the journal Nutrients, shows that coffee's caffeine content can disrupt sleep quality no matter when you brew it. Researchers found that coffee reduces slow brain wave activity and makes your brain more alert, regardless of whether you sleep eight hours. The team didn't offer an opinion on whether you should stop drinking it, but it did note that its effects vary from person to person, so it's important to take a good look at your energy levels.

Starting October 19th, airline passengers could have a harder time getting meals, hotel stays or other compensation when flights are delayed. A new Department of Transportation rule removes 10 types of disruptions from the category of events considered within an airline’s control, including some unscheduled maintenance, medical emergencies, unruly passengers, certain cyberattacks and airport closures caused by volcanic ash or wind. That means delays caused by those events may no longer qualify for the same compensation airlines currently provide. Critics say the change could also make airline on-time performance data less useful for travelers comparing carriers.

Kentucky’s biggest Powerball winner is back in trouble with the law.  James Farthing, who shared a record $167.3 million jackpot with his mother in 2025, was arrested early Sunday after deputies found him asleep in a running car in a Walmart parking lot. Authorities say they were responding to reports of a car stopped in an intersection before it moved to the Walmart lot. Deputies found Farthing alone in the vehicle and said he showed signs of intoxication, including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and trouble keeping his balance. He was charged with public intoxication.
The arrest marks Farthing's fifth run-in with law enforcement since winning the lottery last year. Previous headline-making arrests have included kicking a cop in the face, burglarizing a house, drug possession, and domestic violence-related charges. Some charges have since been dismissed, while others remain pending. (USA Today)
