Are you feeling the love? Because there’s a lot of crap going on in the world right now, so if you’re not feeling particularly loving this Valentine’s Day, no one could blame you. After all, for a day centered on love, V-Day may be the world’s most hated holiday of all. Of course, it always falls on February 14, but the day of the week varies by year. This year marks the first time Valentines’s Day will be on a weekend in quite a while.

Florists are already working overtime, filling coolers with red roses. Jewelry stores have polished their display cases, chocolatiers have wrapped their truffles in heart-shaped boxes, and restaurants across the country are booked solid for Saturday night. But how exactly did we get here? Who is this mysterious Saint Valentine and where did these traditions come from? The legend is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.

While some believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial—which probably occurred around A.D. 270—others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianize” the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides of February, or February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.

Then, sometime around the middle of the 18th century, it became common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes. By 1900, printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Howland, known as the “Mother of the Valentine”, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as “scrap”. Today, according to Hallmark, an estimated 145 million Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year (just after Christmas).

Of course, it’s not a cheap holiday. And spending is expected to soar to a record $30 billion this year. The standard for Valentine’s Day is some flowers, some chocolates and maybe a nice dinner out. And the cost of all those has skyrocketed. Couples can expect to spend over $200 for their dining experiences as restaurant prices have climbed at nearly twice the rate of grocery prices over the past year. And where a quality box of chocolates was averaging around $15-$20 back in 2016, this year will set you back around $50. Where’s the love?!

The abduction of Nancy Guthrie has captured the attention of the nation (and a slew of internet deceives) On Thursday, the FBI revealed new details about the suspect, based on new evidence investigators gathered from the 84-year-old’s doorbell camera. He was described as a man around 5 feet 9 inches tall with an average build, and was wearing a black “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack.

The FBI said it had received 13,000 tips from the public since Feb. 1, when Guthrie was abducted from her home near Tucson, Ariz., and that investigators are reviewing every one. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is also asking neighbors to send home security camera footage of vehicles, traffic, people or anything unusual in the month before she went missing.

So far, investigators have found several items, including gloves, while scouring the foothills around her home. And NPR says that the case is putting a spotlight on the excruciating uncertainty endured by thousands of families whose loved ones go missing each year. Experts see parallels with those cases, even as many details in Guthrie’s case are unique. Did you know that more than 500,000 people were reported missing in the U.S. last year?

Back in the early days of the internet, cats were the stars of social media, muses for early memes and viral videos. But over the last two decades, however, we have progressed from making videos of cats to making videos for them. And for dogs, too.

YouTube alone offers more content than any of our four-legged friends could watch in a lifetime: videos of squeaky toys and squirrels, animated fish and feathered balls, eight hours of British birds and a whopping 21 hours of puppies playing. Roku users can download apps like “Happy Dog TV” or DOGTV, a television channel and streaming service, has cinematographers who shoot original canine content in more than 20 countries, said Ron Levi, the company’s founder told the New York Times.

What exactly do animals see when they look at the screen? Are they really as engaged as their human counterparts? Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have been looking for those answers. They surveyed more than 1,200 dog owners and found that, unsurprisingly, dogs respond most to on-screen images of animals, even animated ones. They said The Lion King was a particular favorite among the furry friends of those surveyed.
