The video was posted by Meena Harris, Kamala’s niece. Kamala tells Meena’s daughter in the heart-swelling video that she “could be president” one day, albeit with a small caveat: “you have to be over the age of 35.” The message is an important moment that resonates as more than just words of encouragement between family members. But it’s especially resonant since Kamala Harris could, and likely will, be the first woman V....

The song the Beatles are recording here is “I’ve Got a Feeling,” but it’s pretty different than the version that ended up on the album. Yes, we can see Yoko sitting right next to John, while Paul kind of bosses everyone around. It’s raw, weird, and utterly beautiful. Some might say that obsession with Beatles outtakes and alternate versions of songs lionizes them unfairly, but the truth is, just hearing this version of “I’ve Got a Feeling” is freaking amazing....

The most important feature in any pizza cooker? Heat, and lots of it. And the ability to distribute it simultaneously to the top and bottom of the pie. Dedicated pizza ovens can push 900 degrees, which might seem excessive. But 700 to 900 degrees is a prime cooking range that results in ultrafast cook times for a pie. Those high temperatures also get the baking stone hot enough to puff the crust when you slide a pizza on by hitting it with a blast of initial heat....

It’s easy, however, for first-time dads to get bogged down in worrying about what they’re doing right and how much is going wrong to really appreciate that first year. (The lack of sleep doesn’t help things, either). But to offer some insight into this time, we asked a variety of been-there-done-that dads What do you wish you knew in your first year of fatherhood? Their answers run the gamut and offer advice, solace, and some harsh truths....

I Wish My Husband Recognized When I Needed Time to Myself “And I don’t mean, like, time in a room that he and the kids aren’t in. I need to know that he’s got everything under control, and that I can truly relax, breathe, and take a break. Just for a little while. He’s a great father — he really is — but sometimes I feel like the lead in the relationship....

Most parents experience a weird relationship with the stories they loved as children. Whether we’re freaked out by princess narratives or wondering about the hidden messages lurking in classic storybooks, a lot of parents tend to interrogate books, TV, and movies we devoured as kids once our own little ones are around. This can lead to innocent questions like Was that X-Men cartoon as good as I remember it? (Yes) Or, Is Mary Poppins racist?...

Indeed, studies have shown that women tend to be attracted to men after observing them interact with babies, and there’s some evidence that women can use a man’s face to gauge whether he has an affinity for children. The research, led by James Roney of the University of California Santa Barbara, involved asking women to look at a series of pictures of men and rate the likelihood that they would be involved fathers....

“I learned not to share my struggles with [them],” he said. “They’re always telling me I need to toughen up and learn how to handle things on my own.” So, he did. He sought guidance from a guy friend he “admired,” which was well-meaning but ineffectual. After all, the boy was 17 years old. Eventually, George attempted suicide. Many boys today know what ultimately gives them greater emotional resiliency: a masculine identity that permits access to the full range of their human emotions....

There’s a simple solution to this all: Order a keg of your favorite beer from a local brewery or distributor. It really is that simple. Most craft breweries package their beer in kegs, earmarked for serving at taprooms and retail accounts … that might not currently operate. Distributors, likewise, are overflowing with untapped kegs of the stuff that is usually swilled at a breakneck pace at your local dive bar....

Alex French is a contributing editor for Fatherly and has been a journalist and editor for decades with work in Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ, Grantland, Wired, and many others. He’s also the co-author of Sneakers, which will tell you pretty much everything you need to know on the subject.

Lifelong members of the E Street Nation will embrace Letter to You – album and film – as warmly as Springsteen embraces his bandmates and fans. Non-fans will be left dancing in the dark. The film is shot in glorious, stark black and white by director Thom Zimny, who has helmed numerous Springsteen music videos as well as Springsteen on Broadway and last year’s Western Stars. Zimny assumes that viewers know and love the Boss and his band, Little Steven Van Zandt, Patty Scialfa, Roy Bittan, Max Weinberg, Jake Clemons, Nils Lofgren, Garry Tallent, Soozie Tyrell, and Charlie Giordano....

So I was nerdily-delighted to discover that Ada Twist, Scientist, the beloved, bestselling (and feminist) children’s book, has been adapted into a Netflix series. Parents, you can finally feel guilt-free about plopping your kids down in front of the TV (unless of course, they’re eating dinner, and that’s the only way you can trick them into ingesting vitamins. Then, you can feel semi-guilty). The gist: Ada is an inquisitive, enthusiastic, science-obsessed 8-year-old with big questions about the world and a passion to discover the answers....

In a word, coffee is a mostly good way to cope with the daily stresses of parenting — but also a potential barrier to becoming a parent. Here’s the data behind these conclusions. When Mom Drinks Coffee, Baby Gets Fat When pregnant people drink more than one cup of coffee per day, their children are more likely to be overweight at 8 years of age, according to a study of 51,000 Norwegian mothers and their children....

These are just some of the questions renowned sex therapist Dr. Ian Kerner asks his patients. He begins with the prompt, “So, tell me about the last time you had sex…” and continues from there. Eventually, he gains a clear idea of a sex script — a detailed look at an encounter that can be analyzed, understood, and, if necessary, improved upon. “Examining the script is about tuning into your sense of sexuality — what you want, and where you want to go — and then having that conversation with your partner,” he says....

The drive of one partner to take control in a relationship can be well-intentioned and stem from deeply ingrained behavior. Growing up, someone might have been the one other family members looked to take on a leadership role. Continuing to take control as an adult could feel natural to that person. “Relationships are loaded with both conscious and unconscious drivers that inform the choices we make,” says Laura Petiford, a marriage and family therapist and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner....

People are understandably attracted to others who are out of their league — one recent analysis of online dating data indicated that men and women pursue prospects up to 25 percent more attractive than they are. Nonetheless, most people seem to have a fairly good idea of how attractive they are and whom they can expect to attract, research suggests, and largely maintain relationships with more similarly matched individuals. Most men don’t bat out of their league....

Horizontal refreshment. Getting the giblets together. Bumping uglies. These are all (terrible) terms for a thing you will do less of after having a kid. They are also (really, truly awful) terms for something that is known to make couples happier. That thing is sex, again, if that wasn’t clear. So how do you stop having less and start having more? The answer is to schedule the sexy time. So, here are some tips to make sure that time is actually sexy....

“Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that results in sweating more than what is required to maintain body temperature,” Adam Friedman, a dermatologist at George Washington University, told Fatherly. “It can be associated with underlying medical conditions and medications, but the most common form has no clear cause.” Roughly five percent of Americans suffer from hyperhidrosis, or around 15 million people, research shows. It is most prevalent among 18 to 39 year olds, afflicting nearly nine percent of them....

But it’s not. It’s counterprogramming. Dreamt up by Circle Media founder Jelani Memory — the man who brought parental controls into the 21st century before selling his outfit to Disney — A Kids Book About is a company, not just a clever framing for an unusual book. And the company is determined to create a unique literary offering, a library of books that expound on the issues most likely to confound young readers (and their parents)....

But many psychologists and relationship experts push back on that idea, arguing that your spouse should come before your children. The theory is that without a strong marriage and loving home, kids won’t thrive, so you’re doing them a disservice by putting your spouse on the back burner, which can lead to marital trouble and even divorce. The question of who should come first is further complicated for religious couples, who also have to figure out where God fits into the hierarchy....
