Consider “Big Dumb Eyes: Stories from a Simpler Mind” byI laughed so hard I cried during parts of his Netflix special “Your Friend, Nate Bargatze.” But I can count on two hands the laugh-out-loud moments I experienced as I read “Big Dumb Eyes.” That’s not because Mr. Bargatze isn’t funny. Books just aren’t the funniest mediums for stand-up comics. Bargatze’s live act flows from his droll, self-deprecating delivery. And while he tries right there in the book’s subtitle — “Stories from a Simpler Mind” — the humor just doesn’t have the same impact on the page as it does the screen.

Bargatze seems to realize this, writing in his introduction that he is “very on the record about not liking to read books.” Alas, the publisher, and good ol’ fashioned capitalism, apparently convinced him that he should write one.All that said, for super fans or anyone who would rather read funny stories than watch Bargatze tell them on TV, “Big Dumb Eyes” is a quick read. There are even grainy, black and white photos of Bargatze through the years with his family. If you haven’t already watched his specials, you’ll learn a lot about his upbringing — from the sense of humor and theatrical nature he inherited from his father, the greatest clown and magician to ever work in Old Hickory, Tennessee, to the role his decade-younger sister, Abigail, played in keeping him from being completely self-centered growing up.My favorite chapter, the one with the most LOL moments, is called “My Sister the Alien” and recounts the time when Nate, his brother Derrick and their dad forgot to bring Abigail home from church one Wednesday night. They all realize when they get home that Abigail isn’t with them and dad’s first words are “Do not tell your mother.” When they drive back to the church, Abigail is with a couple, who found her in the church cemetery “passing from tombstone to tombstone communing with the dead like the devil’s phantasm.”

Bargatze tells quite a few stories about his wife, Laura, as well, and near the end Laura even chimes in via footnotes, as if she’s reading the book along with you. “Obviously I knew about this, too. Now that I think about it, go ahead and tell Nate. I can’t wait to see the look on his face,” reads one after Nate shares how he had to ask his parents to pay for her engagement ring.At the end, in a two-page “Conclusion,” Nate offers his congrats to readers who make it that far, scolding anyone who got through all 222 pages in one sitting. “You should probably move around some more. Or sprinkle in some other healthier activities, like watching TV,” he writes. It’s good advice. I suggest “Your Friend, Nate Bargatze.”

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Two moths the size of a hand, their wings patterned with brown and pink around four translucent sections, mate for hours hanging from a line alongside cocoons like the ones they emerged from just hours earlier.

“When I get here and find this, I jump with delight,” said María Eugenia Díaz Batres, who has been caring for insects at the Museum of Natural History and Environmental Culture in Mexico City for nearly six decades.“We don’t know what to expect. That’s what makes this so cool,” he said.

There will be no communications with Lucy during the flyby as the spacecraft turns its antenna away from Earth in order to track the asteroid. Levison expects to have most of the science data within a day.Lucy’s next stop — “the main event,” as Levison calls it — will be the Trojan asteroids that share Jupiter’s orbit around the sun. Swarms of Trojans precede and follow the solar system’s largest planet as it circles the sun. Lucy will visit eight of them from 2027 through 2033, some of them in pairs of two.

Lucy’s first asteroid flyby was in 2023 when it swept past little Dinkinesh, also in the main asteroid belt. The spacecraft discovered a mini moon around it.The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
