Hang Lumo Play on the wall and the floor becomes an air hockey table or Hungry Hungry Hippos board that your kids jump into and play, Mary Poppins style, or a fishing pond or race track that reacts to their toys. You remember, those things kids played with before the screens took over? In that regard, Lumo Play somewhat defies categorization: a screen-based toy that promotes active, social play and lets kids design their own games but doesn’t require them to code....

We know that there are hundreds of different organized sports. Everything from tennis to synchronized swimming, surfing and skiing, are loved, played, and watched by many. Despite this, there are only four top-of-mind for Americans: baseball, basketball, football, and hockey. And out of those, there’s one that takes the lead for America’s most popular sport.

But one thing that many people want to have in the place we call home is a real sense of community, and Neighbor.com has you covered in that department, as the peer-to-peer self-storage marketplace revealed its second annual ranking of “The Most Neighborly Cities in America.” To create the rankings, Neigbor.com spoke with 1,000 United States residents to find the qualities they considered most essential in a neighborhood (social, empathetic, helpful, and reliable)....

It wasn’t until this week, however, that his family had enough and orchestrated a mild intervention. At the end of a video in which he explains his muscle-building diet strategies before flexing his bicep to show off, his family voiced their disapproval of his inability to wear a shirt on camera. “Babe, stop doing videos with your shirt off,” his wife, Rhea, said off-camera at the very end of the video....

Well, luckily, it appears that Rudolph is more than game to take on the role once again. Entertainment Weekly got the interview of the year when they were already recording a panel with Rudolph as a guest when the news re: Harris broke. Her immediate reaction to the news was a simple, “That’s spicy,” but when her interviewer asked if she’d make it back to SNL to continue her take on Harris, she said, “I love going to the show any excuse I can get… Ever since I was a kid, truly, I wanted to be on any kind of SCTV, Saturday Night Live, and I can’t believe that I got to work there....

It’s been close to a year since the royal parents announced they were changing the course of their life. Harry and Meghan basically gave three-months’ notice that they were leaving their jobs as “working members” of the royal family. It was a lot more complicated than we would have assumed. The couple had to sit through many discussions with the Queen and other senior royals to work out all the details of what “stepping down” would look like....

We’re talking about it....

Last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live was taped just before and very near the premiere of The Art of Racing in the Rain, Milo’s new talking dog movie. His parents were attending, so he brought them along to his interview with Kimmel beforehand.

Jes Hogan, a mom from Kansas, first hit viral status after photos of her birth went viral. She went into labor with her sixth baby on July 24, 2017, and it came on faster than anticipated. Hogan made it to the hospital, but mom had no time to get into a room. Instead, she welcomed her first baby boy in the hallway of the emergency room. And her birth photographer was right there by her side, capturing the whole event, and the result was some insanely amazing photos....

“The same people [at my job] who say, ‘This is a marathon, not a sprint, so be sure to practice self-care’ will also text us after-hours or on weekends about stuff that can wait,” says Theresa, a married mother of a 6-year-old who works for the government in the San Francisco Bay Area and asked to remain anonymous. “There’s a ton of lip service paid to taking care of ourselves and our families during the pandemic, but that’s all it is....

The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics released data that shows in just one month from August to September, close to 1,000,000 women left the workforce, nearly eight times the amount of men, CNN reported.

You’re not the first to make this pilgrimage. The trail is well worn by those who came before. You’ll meet some of them when the moving van pulls up to the Craftsman bungalow you outbid five other hungry, vicious, pregnant couples and one congenitally wealthy artist type to occupy; others you’ll encounter in the days and months later. But before that happens, here’s a quick rundown of those you’ll meet....

This behavior was obviously not conducive to my ability to get work done. So, I stalked into the hallway, where they were grappling in their skivvies, and used my Dad-voice: “Alright, guys. I’ve had enough. You need to get outside.” Their protests were immediate. They pleaded and bargained. But I was not moved. “I told you. Get some pants on and go outside!” They huffed into their room, complaining and whining, dressed themselves shabbily, shoved unsocked feet into winter boots, and trudged outside, banging the door closed behind them....

One of the best things about Netflix is that it does a pretty good job at predicting what we want to watch. Those suggestions get even better when we use the functions designed to read our minds like the Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down controls. But now if you really, really like one of the titles on Netflix, you can click the Double Thumbs Up button. “Members have never had as many great entertainment options as they have right now,” Christine Doig-Cardet, director of product innovation and personalization experiences at Netflix, told The Verge....

The new trailer for Soul introduces us to Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Fox), a middle school music teacher who is on the verge of realizing his dream of playing jazz professionally when he suffers an accidental death and finds himself in the afterlife. Like the Land of the Dead in Pixar’s Coco, the post-mortal world of Soul seems to have its own rules and bureaucracy, which Joe quickly runs afoul of when he rejects the light at the end of the tunnel and accidentally falls into “The Great Before,” the space where souls form their personalities before they are born as humans....

“Researchers have yet to systematically test whether aspects of positive masculinity represent socialized messages about what is typically expected of men in the broader culture,” authors wrote. “Accordingly, the present exploratory study sought to determine which attributes of positive masculinity were perceived as positive and socially expected of men.” We know that traditional masculinity norms aren’t great for men. Studies have linked masculinity norms to physical and mental health problems and violent tendencies among boys....

“The script changes every few generations, but now it seems to be an obsession with achievement, getting ahead, and being happy,” she says. “There’s an onus to turn a childhood into a work of art with a recognizable certificate. When we transform childhood, there’s a great deal of anxiety.” RELATED: How To Make Sure Your Kid Doesn’t Grow Up To Be A Raging Perfectionist In her latest book, Dr. Shefali talks about the myths about effective parenting, everything from making yourself the focus of your kid’s life to thinking there’s such a thing as an inherently “good” kid or “bad” kid....
