The celeb chef shared a video on Instagram of a time where he was so bored, he decided to have some gentle fun with people working at the Starbucks drive-through, and it’s gone viral. “Some times I get bored on the road,” Gordon captioned the video. Adding, “So I decided to have some fun at the drive-thru and met Harry Snotter!” In the video, Gordon pokes fun at the menu, driving up to the drive-thru menu and asking a bunch of funny questions to the Starbucks workers about the food....

“Too many parents around the world face the death of a baby or a young child—avoidable GBS deaths are happening in every country,” said coauthor on the study Joy Lawn of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, in a statement. Although antibiotics prevent an estimated 29,000 cases of GBS disease annually, Lawn stresses that the antibiotics are often unavailable in low-income regions, and that vulnerable populations are seldom screened for GBS before birth....

On TV, Grover is a wonderful, deep, melancholy character with a real genius for pathos and sentimentality. But in the ’70s books — like The Monster at the End of This Book — he’s an even deeper, even sadder, even more relatable character. He’s the most insecure of Muppets. It’s not enough for him to get by or do okay. No, he always wants to be loved, accepted, embraced by everyone, wildly successful....

Davidson is clear here: In the best-case scenario, a husband or new dad should not be the advocate for his wife in the delivery room. Hopefully, all of the decisions being made medically are according to your wants, needs, and plans. Men, therefore, should be an emotional support system, not a medical support system, which is why she says every birth would be better off with a doula. Sure, she might be biased, but doulas help make the decisions and deal with doctors, residents, and nurses as well as anesthesiologists while you get to sit down and hold your partner’s hand....

“Harry Potter isn’t a nerd, he’s a jock. He didn’t try very hard in school, cheated on homework constantly, was a sports star, and ended up joining the police/military,” a Reddit user wrote. They were off to the races after that. Another person pointed out that Potter had all the telltale privileges of a super rich kid who ultimately won’t be held accountable for much of anything. Many noted how Potter was always getting out of trouble because Dumbledore, the headmaster at Hogwarts, was regularly getting him out of trouble....

Keaton starred in Batman and Batman Returns, which were both directed by Tim Burton. He was slated to play the caped crusader again in Batman Forever but eventually walked away because he disagreed with director Joel Schumacher making the movie less grounded and more campy. According to Keaton, the “secret” to playing Batman was focusing on the man behind the mask: Bruce Wayne. Figuring out “[w]hat kind of person does that” allowed him to access the darkness in the story, which is what made him such a beloved Batman....

There’s no mistaking that this controller is designed for kids ⏤ the tagline on the box actually reads “Built for Young Gamers.” The Hori Mini Wired Gamepad is almost half the size of the standard Dualshock PS4 controller (and half the price at $30), colored a playful blue, and evocative of the retro rounded edges of the SNES controller from the early 1990s. It’s powered by a 10-foot long USB cord so you never have to worry about charging it....

I’m the father of a young kid that aches for companionship and often fails to find it. If loneliness is a modern problem for modern young people, it feels likely to be my son’s fate — at least for a while. It’s a very real concern, one that I had prior to reading the study, but one that is certainly exacerbated by trends and data. And I’m keenly aware there’s no easy solution....

How to Hold A Baby

When I was my daughter’s current age, my mother thought it would be good for me to spend some time at church. My mother has not aligned herself to a church or specific religion, but has always been a spiritual person. So, I began going to church with my grandmother for what felt like all day on Sundays — 9 am – 3pm. I went about eight years without seeing a 1pm Giants game....

Sleep deprivation, to some extent, is an inescapable aspect of parenthood. Parents of newborns can lose up to two hours of sleep per night in the first five months of their child’s life, physician and sleep specialist William C. Dement estimates, and then about one hour per night after that. Other research estimates that, within that first year, you lose a total of 44 days worth of sleep. Part of that is because you’re hardwired to respond with an adrenaline rush whenever your baby cries....

Last week, a Reddit user innocently asked the question: How many “chuggas” are you supposed to say before “choo choo”? To date, 27,000 people have upvoted this on Reddit and the question has over 3,000 comments. The point? No one can agree. However, there tend to be two camps. The first camp says you say two “chuggas” before “choo-choo.” Which would look like this: Chugga Chugga CHOO-CHOO The second camp says you say three “chuggas” first, like so:...

Jon Acuff calls such phrases like this a broken “soundtrack” — that is, a symptom of overthinking that makes you ruminate, feel guilt or shame, and, ultimately, gets you nowhere. At the very least, they don’t lead to a positive action and therefore need to be adjusted. Otherwise, you’re just wasting resources on these dead-end thoughts. That’s why Acuff refers to overthinking as “the greatest thief of all.” “It steals time, creativity, productivity, hope,” he says....

Admit it — you’d prefer to spend this holiday season in footie pajamas, teaching your BB-8 to fetch beers while your kids lose their minds opening presents, as opposed to battling with your spouse over which grandparents get which slices of your time all month long. “But aren’t the holidays supposed to be about family?” you ask BB-8. “Won’t everyone be disappointed?” To which BB-8 says something like, “Beep-boop-beep.” With all due credit to J....
