Today Anchor Craig Melvin On Teaching Kids About Kindness Empathy And Race Fatherly

“One of the things I’m really working on with my son is making him feel comfortable in his own skin, with who he is and what he likes and doesn’t like. I found growing up that served me well later in life,” Melvin told Fatherly. Recently, Melvin led a conversation with Black fathers about talking to children about the color of their skin. “You cannot insulate them,” he explains. “At some point, they’re going to come face to face with the reality of their blackness....

Tom Hanks Espresso Machine Is What Every Parent Needs

At-home espresso machines are generally so difficult to use that you need a degree from a culinary school (or engineering program) to correctly operate one without burning your digits. Hanks, however, has managed to source one that’s actually fairly simple to operate. The De’Longhi coffee maker has 13 adjustable settings to grind fresh beans to your exact specification. It has 5 settings so you can choose your desired coffee strength....

Trump Administration Chooses For Profit Colleges Over Veterans Again

Now, NPR has reported that Trump is choosing for-profit colleges over supporting vets who were defrauded and misled by those schools. The Department of Veteran Affairs will be allowing for-profit schools, like the University of Phoenix, to access GI Bill money, even though the school—which is the largest recipient of GI Bill funds—previously had to cough up almost $200 million for making misleading claims to students about career placement. As The New York Times reported, Trump also vetoed a resolution in May that ultimately makes it much more difficult for vets to successfully seek loan forgiveness....

Turkey Prices Are The Highest They Ve Been Since 2005

According to Reuters, due to the pandemic, turkey farmers produced way fewer turkeys this year. “Farmers were cautious with production,” the publication reports, “figuring a second pandemic holiday could slash demand.” Since there are fewer birds to buy, the price of those birds has gone up considerably, making the birds the most expensive for consumers since 2005 (when the cost really began to be recorded annually.) “Fewer turkeys were produced this year, so turkey meat prices have soared,” Reuters writes, “at a time [when] consumers are already grappling with rising inflation with the global supply chain stumbling into the holiday shopping season....

Viral Howl Off Between This Toddler And His Dog Is Pure Joy

Alixandria Smith uploaded a video to Facebook on February 25th when she came across her son, Braxton, playing with their pet dog. The video starts with a cute giggle from Braxton, followed by his impersonation of a dog howl. He giggles and howls again before Boston comes into frame and mom is heard saying, “Tell him,” before Boston replies with a howl of his own. Boston’s howl causes Braxton to enter into a giggle-fit while answering back with another howl, and Boston answers back again....

Viral Reddit Post Proves Jerry S Hallway On Seinfeld Can T Exist Irl

Over on Reddit, a user called PixelMagic posted an image that demonstrates the problem. And it’s all about the location of Jerry’s very elaborate kitchen. As a former New Yorker, this makes a lot of sense to me. I only ever had a kitchen island as big as Jerry’s in one New York apartment, and notably, that part of the kitchen lined the window of the outside of the building, not the indoor hallway that separated the units....

After seeing the sign during the final minutes of the Cavaliers bout against the Phoenix Suns, James removed his arm guard and handed it to a Cavaliers security guard to give to the kid, before shooting the boy a thumbs up from across the court.

Just last year, the LeBron James Foundation has partnered with the Akron Ohio school board to open the “I Promise” School....

Watching Football And Hating The Nfl Makes Fall Very Confusing

But I did. The Steelers and Bengals met again in Cincinnati not long after and it was rainy and the Bungles were bungling and the penalties were even more numerous. Two players left the field strapped to carts. One of those, Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier, is just now walking again and all the applause in Blitzburgh won’t change that. As my own six-year-old boy slept peacefully in his room down the hall and the game came to a sodden, sullen close, I couldn’t help but think: Those are peoples’ sons out there, lying motionless on the field....

Watching Netflix S Voltron Legendary Defender With My Sons Is The Best

My thought process went something like this: “Huh, new Voltron. Do the lions still turn into a dumb robot? Yes? Okay, I’m out.” But one afternoon I came downstairs to interrupt my boys’ television time and was transfixed by the animation on the screen. It was some kind of anime-esque action scene with a suited character in a cool sci-fi cockpit. The animation was clean and simple, giving the sequence a sense of speed and intensity....

Weight Loss Supplements Don T Work And Endanger Kids And Adults

Given the lack of evidence that supplements work, and the relatively high risk of harm, experts agree that it’s almost always better to avoid them entirely. Here’s the data behind these conclusions: Weight-Loss Supplements Don’t Work Physicians consider two major factors when evaluating a drug: safety and efficacy (in other words: does the drug work and will it hurt you?). A recent Harvard study, published in American Family Physician, reviewed the evidence of safety and efficacy behind a long list of weight-loss supplements and concluded that not a single one made a compelling case for itself....

What Bored Dads Need To Know About My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic

Is There Anything I Need to Know Before Watching? There is nothing essential in terms of understanding the plot, which we’ll get to later, as there is never much of an explanation of why the world of My Little Ponies exists or how these magical, talking ponies got their powers. Even tracing back to the original series, there’s never been any real explanation of this universe. No giant mythos or elaborate backstory that helps us understand why this world exists....
