In 2018, after a decade of set-up, the Avengers finally battled Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. Throughout the now-legendary “Phase 1” and “Phase 2” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the seeding of the Infinity Stones was a big freaking deal. From the “Space Stone” (the Tesseract) getting set up in Captain America (2011) to the power stone in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), we were told over and over again, that these stones were the only things that mattered....

But the best part about Göransson’s win? The Tweet he posted after the win was announced and he gave his acceptance speech. “Thank you to the Academy for this honor and for all the recognition the Mandalorian has received this Emmy season,” he wrote, while thanking Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, the showrunners behind The Mandalorian, for creating the smash-hit series that aired on Disney+ last year. But the photo he shared alongside the photo is what takes the cake....

The Senate voted 62-37 to move the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA) forward. In addition to all the Senate Democrats, 12 Republican Senators voted in favor of the RMA, breaking the filibuster.

According to a big leak on Reddit, Twitter, and elsewhere, two photos from No Way Home seem to confirm the impossible: Tom Holland’s MCU version of Spider-Man will be joined in multiverse madness by Tobey Maguire and what appears to be Andrew Garfield. This means that for the first time, the MCU will merge three different versions of cinematic Spider-Mans into one movie. Obviously, there’s an animated precedent for this kind of thing via the movie Into the Spider-Verse....

Last week, Lucasfilm officially announced the primary cast for the as-yet-untitled Star Wars: Episode IX. Not only was that Keri Russell rumor totally confirmed but director J.J. Abrams also revealed that Leia will appear in the movie thanks to unused footage filmed for The Force Awakens. Mark Hamill also said that was excited to work with Billy Dee Williams again, and that the inclusion of Fisher in the movie posthumously is “bittersweet....

Spoiling Triple Frontier would be difficult because the first 20 minutes are extremely hard to follow. Again, this is a good thing. They are fun to watch and they get the audience into the flow, which is more meaningful here than the plot. This movie is about five military guys — Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund, and Ben Affleck — who all, for various reasons, are trying to steal some dirty money from some very bad hombres in South America....

And, yes, some of these games are likely to devolve into horseplay or roughhousing. That’s fine. So be it. Structured play isn’t the solution to unstructured play, it’s the solution the most pressing question any parent can ask when the weather gets bad: What do we do now?...

No conversation starter would hold much weight if it was not backed by real curiosity, and with kids, empty queries are often met with a stone wall. Want to strike up a conversation with kids? “Get them talking about themselves and their interests,” says Nancy Silberman Zwiebach, MS, PD a Certified School Psychologist and Psychotherapist. If your child has taken interest in a particular tv show, or is preoccupied with a book or toy, asking specific questions about that interest is usually enough to get the child talking But appealing to the child’s interest is not the only way parents can strike up a chat with their child....

One way to make grocery runs significantly less torturous, however, is to play games as you walk the aisles. Food games, word games, math games, doesn’t much matter, as long as they keep the child engaged while you tick items off your grocery list. Stores are packed with signs, stimuli, and other colorful distractions that, with a little creativity, can easily be turned into games to occupy a child’s attention....

Several require consent in capturing audio, meaning you must inform your nanny about the system’s presence (you can check out state laws here). In terms of the specifics, here’s what you need to know: Installation or use of any device that’s meant for photographing, observing, or overhearing events or sounds in a private place (i....

Each of these apps works largely the same. Hosts post their property on the website to rent out, and it becomes available to you if your desired dates are in sync. The services are very easy to use — a streamlined process you’re likely already familiar with if you’ve used Airbnb or Vrbo — without a lot of traditional paperwork. Also, hosts are rated and commented on, so you know what to expect based on previous guests’ comments....

After all, there are a number of scientifically backed reasons why many women aren’t looking for a stereotypical hunk of beef, and might prefer a string bean instead....

Spock is best known for jumpstarting the first national conversation surrounding attentive and affectionate parenting. While it’s very hard to imagine how radical some of his ideas were when he first became a public figure, at the time Spock’s suggestions that parents not constrain their affection for their children was considered by many to be eccentric as well as indulgent. Spock told parents that it was perfectly okay for them to kiss and hug their children whenever the urge struck them....

Losing Your Cool Emotions run high in family court, but Maher advises to never let them boil over. The eyes of the court are on you and even the smallest blowup can have long-lasting implications. “It’s always a difficult situation because it’s most of the time a male and a female who started out in a relationship where they cared for or even loved each other, and it has devolved to what it is now in court, which is the ash heap of that relationship,” he says....
