By Matthew Byrd | Published on October 22, 2025 Photo: Warner Bros. Comment 0 Share New Share Photo: Warner Bros. Director Zach Cregger’s hit horror film Weapons finally gets a streaming release date, and wouldn’t you know that it arrives shortly after an HBO Max price hike. Yeah, let’s start with the bad news (doesn’t that just feel like the way of things?). HBO Max quietly raised their monthly prices yesterday across all available plans. The HBO Max with Ads plan goes from $9.99 to $10.99, the Standard plan from $16.99 to $18.49, and the Premium plan from $20.99 to $22.99. Those new prices go into effect starting on November 20 (relative to your billing cycle), though yearly subscribers will not see the price increase until their annual subscription fee is due. Yay streaming services! We love streaming services! At least the arrival of Weapons offers some consolation. Weapons will officially be available to stream via HBO Max starting on October 24 and will start airing on HBO the next day at 8:00 p.m. ET. The movie is also available to rent and buy via VOD services. Expectations were high for Weapons following the success of Cregger’s previous horror movie (2022’s Barbarian), and it feels safe to say that it exceeded most of them. Narratively, the story of a group of children who mysteriously run away from their homes in unison early one morning is as shocking as the equally twisty Barbarian. Thematically, Weapons uses its chapter-based structure to examine the ways we do (and very much do not) deal with such tragedies in a country that is quickly becoming defined by them. Weapons wasn’t just a critical darling, though. The film shocked most industry analysts by earning over $260 million at the box office on the strength of its director’s previous work and some incredible word of mouth. Speaking of word of mouth, there is even some loose talk that Weapons could be an awards season player, especially as it concerns actress Amy Madigan’s immediately iconic turn as Aunt Gladys. Of course, Weapons will have to contend with Sinners: the other “Can you believe how great this is?” horror hit of 2025 that is also currently streaming on HBO Max. Awards and box office aside, Weapons really is an incredible swing that rightfully remains in the conversation roughly two months after its theatrical debut. Be sure to check it out if you haven’t already, though be warned that it is quite scary, certainly disturbing, and (in the spirit of Cregger’s young horror directing career) certainly quite a… lot.

Bringing home a newborn while you have a dog requires careful planning and constant vigilance. Dog and newborn safety depends on proper preparation, controlled introductions, and ongoing supervision. We at DogingtonPost know that with the right approach, your furry family member can safely welcome your newest addition. The key lies in starting early and maintaining consistent safety practices throughout your baby’s development. Preparing Your Dog Before Baby Arrives Start Training Four Months Early Begin behavior modifications at least four months before your due date. Most dog behaviorists recommend this timeline because it provides adequate time for behavioral changes to become permanent habits. Focus on basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and down first. These commands become essential tools when you need immediate control around your newborn. Professional trainers report that dogs need approximately 8-12 weeks to solidify new behavioral patterns. Dogs who master these commands before the baby arrives show better adaptation rates during the transition period. Introduce Baby Sounds and Scents Gradually Play recordings of baby sounds (crying, cooing, and other infant noises) at low volumes initially. Gradually increase the volume over several weeks while you reward your dog with treats. This process creates positive associations with baby sounds rather than stress responses. Bring home baby blankets or clothing from the hospital before the newborn arrives. Allow your dog to sniff these items while you provide praise and treats. This scent preparation reduces anxiety during the actual introduction and helps your dog recognize the baby as part of the family unit. Establish New Household Boundaries Create dog-free zones in nursery areas immediately. Install baby gates now so your dog adapts to restricted access before the baby arrives. Move food and water stations away from high-traffic baby areas to prevent resource protection behaviors. Set up a designated retreat space where your dog can escape when overwhelmed. Train your dog to settle in this space on command through daily practice sessions. These new routines must become automatic responses before your baby comes home. With these preparation steps complete, you’ll be ready to focus on the actual introduction techniques that make the first meeting between your dog and newborn safe and positive. Safe Introduction Techniques for Dogs and Newborns Position Your Dog at a Safe Distance Keep your dog on a leash during the first meeting and maintain at least three feet of distance from the baby. Veterinary behaviorists from the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists report that 85% of dog-infant incidents occur when dogs receive unrestricted access during initial introductions. Allow your dog to see and smell the baby while you hold the leash, but prevent direct contact. Feed treats continuously during this process to create positive associations. The first meeting should last no more than five minutes to prevent overstimulation. Watch for These Critical Warning Signs Monitor your dog’s body language intensively during introductions. Stiff body posture, raised hackles, intense staring, or lip licking indicate stress that requires immediate intervention. Research from the University of Pennsylvania highlights the risk of dominance-based training and emphasizes the importance of understanding canine stress signals before they escalate to problematic behaviors. Remove your dog immediately if you observe these signs. Panting, pacing, or attempts to leave the area also signal discomfort. Dogs who show calm curiosity with relaxed ears and gentle sniffing demonstrate positive adjustment patterns. Build Positive Associations Through Structured Interactions Schedule short, supervised interactions when your baby is calm and quiet. Provide high-value treats exclusively when your dog remains calm around the baby. Never force interactions or allow your dog to approach the baby independently. Professional animal behaviorists recommend that you limit these sessions to 10-15 minutes initially, then gradually extend time as your dog demonstrates consistent calm behavior. Most dogs require 7-14 days of structured interactions before they show reliable positive responses. Create a routine where your dog receives special attention and rewards specifically when the baby is present (this establishes the baby as a predictor of good things rather than competition for resources). These controlled introduction techniques set the foundation for safe coexistence, but daily supervision practices become equally important once your dog and baby begin regular interactions in your home environment. Daily Safety Practices and Supervision Guidelines Supervision Must Be Absolute and Non-Negotiable Never leave your dog and baby alone together, even for thirty seconds. Research shows that dog bite injuries among children decreased by 34% from 2001 to 2017, yet incidents still occur during routine activities when parents assume their dog is trustworthy. Even the most gentle dog can react unpredictably to sudden movements, crying, or accidental contact from a baby. Set up your daily routine so one adult always maintains visual contact with both dog and baby when they share the same room. Use baby monitors with video capabilities to maintain supervision when you move between rooms briefly. Physical Barriers Create Safety Zones Install baby gates at multiple points throughout your home to create instant separation when needed. Place gates at nursery entrances, kitchen doorways, and living room access points. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends gates with vertical slats no more than 2.38 inches apart to prevent injury. Position your dog’s food and water bowls behind gates in designated dog-only areas. Water poses serious drowning risks for young children, with 379 fatal drownings involving children under 15 occurring annually in pools and spas alone. Create a retreat space for your dog with exercise pens or crates where they can escape when overwhelmed. This setup prevents resource protection behaviors and gives your dog control over interactions. Health Protocols Protect Both Baby and Dog Wash your hands immediately after you touch your dog and before you handle your baby. Dogs carry bacteria like salmonella and campylobacter that can cause serious illness in newborns with underdeveloped immune systems. Keep your dog’s vaccinations current and schedule veterinary checkups every six months. Clean dog toys and bedding weekly with hot water and pet-safe disinfectants. Store baby items like pacifiers, bottles, and toys in closed containers where your dog cannot access them. Dog saliva contains enzymes that can cause skin irritation in babies, so prevent licking behaviors through consistent training and immediate redirection (this protects both your baby’s health and maintains appropriate boundaries). Final Thoughts Dog and newborn safety requires ongoing commitment beyond the initial introduction period. You must maintain consistent supervision practices as your baby grows and becomes mobile. Watch for behavioral changes in your dog like increased anxiety, resource protection, or avoidance behaviors that signal stress. Seek professional help immediately if your dog shows aggression, snaps, or stares intensely at your baby. Contact a certified animal behaviorist if your dog displays persistent anxiety or refuses to adapt after four weeks. These warning signs indicate potential safety risks that require expert intervention. Success comes through patience and consistency. Most dogs develop protective bonds with babies within 2-3 months when you follow proper protocols (your dog can become your child’s loyal companion through structured positive experiences). We at DogingtonPost believe that with proper preparation and ongoing vigilance, your dog and child can build a lifelong friendship that enriches your entire family’s experience.

Not months ago, Snoop Dogg took aim at the LGBTQ+ messaging littering children’s television and movies — but in an embarrassing show of defeat, he’s now doing a complete 180.The rapper has now partnered with LGBTQ+ nonprofit GLAAD to create a new song for his animated children's show “Doggyland” titled “Love Is Love.”The song features animated dog families, which include same-sex couples and single and elder dogs as parents, with lyrics like, “Our parents are different, no two are the same, but the one thing that’s for certain is the love won’t change.”“‘Love Is Love’ is a record that my kids' program ‘Doggyland’ presented me, where it’s the song where it’s teaching love is love. It’s teaching parenthood, it’s teaching the situations that kids and the world is going through right now in a beautiful way through song, dance, melody, and just trying to get more understanding, clarity on how we live and the way we live,” the rapper told Jeremy Beloate — who makes a cameo in the new song — in an interview.“And I felt like this music is a beautiful, you know, bridge to bringing understanding. This is a program that we’ve been doing for years where we involve kids, and these are things that kids have questions about. So now hopefully we can help answer these questions and, you know, help them to live a happy life and understand that love is love,” he continued.“When we spoke about this a month ago, we said that he would not stand 10 toes down,” BlazeTV contributor Shemeka Michelle tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”“Snoop is just showing that he goes wherever the check is. He has no morals. He has no values, and he’s not a gangster. He’s a fake gangster because gangsters stand on their business and they stand 10 toes down. Snoop doesn’t do that. Never has and never will,” she adds.“These gangsters can bully women and talk crazy with women, but when it comes to the LGBTQ, it’s a Deion Sanders like backpedal, and the next thing you know, you’re coming out with a song ‘Love Is Love,’” Whitlock agrees.“It’s one of the most demonic songs that’s ever been written,” he adds.Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The commissioner of the National Football League addressed the public outrage over the decision to have Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny perform during the halftime show at the Super Bowl.Many football fans were furious when the NFL made the announcement, especially after some anti-Trump comments of his resurfaced on social media.'He understands the platform that he's on, and I think it's going to be exciting and a united moment.'Commissioner Goodell defended the decision while speaking to reporters on Wednesday after the annual Fall League Meeting."It's carefully thought through," Goodell said. "I'm not sure we've ever selected an artist where we didn't have some blowback or criticism. It's pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching."The 31-year-old rapper was born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio and has refused to perform on the mainland of the U.S. out of fear of the mass deportation policies of President Donald Trump. He has instead performed his shows in Puerto Rico, a territory of the U.S.Many were further antagonized when Ocasio responded to the outrage by joking that anyone who wanted to understand his performance would have to learn Spanish. "We're confident it's going to be a great show," Goodell continued. "He understands the platform that he's on, and I think it's going to be exciting and a united moment."He also pointed to Bad Bunny's popularity as the rationale for the decision."He's one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world," Goodell said. "That's what we try to achieve. It's an important stage for us. It's an important element to the entertainment value."RELATED: Entire staff at Deadspin fired months after they smeared 9-year-old Chiefs fan as a racist President Donald Trump weighed in on the decision and said he had never even heard of the rapper."I don't know who he is," Trump said. "I don't know why they're doing it. It's, like, crazy. And then they blame it on some promoter that they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it's absolutely ridiculous."Goodell also faced criticism in February when he said the NFL would continue supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion policies despite so many companies abandoning them after Trump's election victory.The Super Bowl will be held on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.Like Blaze News?

Katarzyna AlagierskaArchaeologists found 24 sets of remains in the cemetery that was uncovered in Borkowo. Archaeologists in Poland have uncovered a cemetery from the 10th century containing the remains of more than 20 people who may have been some of the first Christians in the region — and may have also been elite warriors. The cemetery was discovered during construction work for a gas pipeline in Borkowo. The remains date back to when people in this area began converting from paganism to Christianity, which is reflected in the way these people were buried. While preliminary dating has placed the remains as being from the time of Mieszko I — the duke credited with unifying the country and creating the first Polish state — and experts believe that these skeletons may have belonged to his fabled Piast warriors, much remains to be uncovered about this astonishing find. The Chance Discovery Of One Of Poland’s First Christian Cemeteries Katarzyna AlagierskaThe cemetery could hold the remains of elite warriors, perhaps linked to Polish ruler Mieszko I. The cemetery was found near the remains of a medieval settlement, and according to Science in Poland, archaeologists believe these 24 skeletons likely belonged to residents of this stronghold or possibly warriors from the garrison meant to protect it. Alongside the remains, archaeologists also found various grave goods, including arrowheads, a battle axe, knife blades, rings, and red carnelian beads. This further suggests that these people were both warriors and elites. Furthermore, this site dates back to the 10th century, when pagan communities in this region first began converting to Christianity. Archaeologists think this transition is reflected in the specifics of these recently-discovered burials. “We view these people as representatives of the ‘first Christians’ in these lands,” Justyna Marchewka-Długońska, a member of the research team, told Live Science. For starters, the very act of burying these bodies, as opposed to burning them, suggests a Christian influence and not a pagan one. However, burying the dead alongside various grave goods was a much more common practice within paganism, as opposed to Christianity. Additionally, the burials were not arranged in the typical rows seen in medieval cemeteries, instead appearing to be placed at random, a fact that has left researchers puzzled. This hybrid approach suggests the cemetery dates back to a time when this area’s religious practices and customs were changing slowly but surely. “The introduction of a new worldview is not a revolution, but an evolution,” Marchewka-Długońska explained. “Perhaps the form of the burials from Borkowo and the fact that they are quite richly equipped reflect this slow shift in worldview.” Do These Remains Belong To The Famed Piast Warriors Of Mieszko I? Katarzyna AlagierskaThe skeletons will undergo further analysis so that researchers can learn more about who exactly they were. Preliminary dating suggests that the cemetery was created sometime in the 10th century. This coincides with the rule of Mieszko I, who built the first unified Polish state and ruled from 960 to 992 C.E. In fact, some researchers have theorized that this cemetery was a mass burial of Mieszko I’s storied Piast warriors, though this claim remains unverified for now. “Historically, we do not yet know whether we can discuss any connections at all,” Marchewka-Długońska told Live Science, regarding any possible connection to Mieszko I. “For now, the skeletons have been collected and are awaiting anthropological analysis.” While these remains may not belong to Mieszko I’s specific class of warriors, some of the skeletons do show evidence of trauma and other wear-and-tear commonly seen among soldiers. Early analysis revealed evidence of a healed rib fracture in one of the skeletons. Another showed skeletal evidence of repeated horse-riding. What’s more, all of these remains come from, as the researchers put it, “tall, robust individuals… well-built men who commanded respect.” But much remains to be uncovered, and researchers hope that further analysis will reveal more about who these people were and what kind of roles they may have served in the nearby settlement.
