The commercial, produced by Frida, the postpartum company that provides nursing support products, and baby products for cold and flu to grooming to oral care, is a no-holds-barred look at the struggles of breastfeeding (and an implicit indictment of the lack of support moms receive to do so). And it’s super important. More moms than ever are choosing to breastfeed their infants. The 75-second ad uses a series of voiceovers from moms who are struggling to breastfeed while showing them attempting to latch with their baby, unclog their breast ducts, pump, use cabbage to deal with breast engorgement, push electric toothbrushes on their breasts, and more....

Massive goldfish have become an invasive species in a lake in Minnesota where people have released their pet fish, officials say....
But while the JAMA study is well-designed and draws a strong correlation between screen time and developmental delays, it’s not interesting because it’s wholly conclusive about causation. Outside factors are likely at play, and the mechanisms by which screen time seems to affect development aren’t totally clear. But they are coming into focus. “It is notable that screen time reduced both children’s sleep even at this early age and reduced parents’ reading to children, which we know is a strong predictor of positive child outcomes, such as higher IQ,” Douglas Gentile, a psychologist at Iowa State University, who was not involved in the study, told CNN....

Speaking to Page Six, Elon said the two are no longer together. However, they remain on good terms and will continue to parent their son, X Æ A-Xii Musk. “We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently, and are on great terms,” Elon said.

Three different Nerf blasters modeled after Halo weapons are coming to stores this year, timed to coincide with the holiday release of Halo: Infinite, itself a launch title for the Xbox Series X. The MA40 assault rifle is one of the most well-known guns in the game, and its Nerf facsimile does not disappoint. The motorized blaster comes with a ten-dart clip that automatically feeds darts into the chamber and, while it’s not automatic like the virtual weapon, it does come with a code that allows you to use its color scheme in Infinite....
“Pigture Perfect” finds Petunia Pig out to snap a new picture that’ll be perfect for her fireplace mantle, but her photoshoot goes just a little nutty.

Let’s talk Powerpuff Girls If I was staying home sick from school or managed to get the remote on a Sunday morning in the late nineties, I was watching the Powerpuff Girls. This gem of a TV show was one of the most popular shows on Cartoon Network back in the day, with consistently high ratings throughout its six seasons. In Powerpuff Girls (PPG), three kindergarten-aged sisters defend their hometown of Townsville from villains like Mojo Jojo through their mix of sugar-sweet and terrifyingly aggressive superpowers....

“I need you to go outside the house and make a friend so you talk to other people about this stuff and not just me,” an annoyed woman (Ego Nwodim) instructs her eager partner (Pete Davidson) patiently. We hear another man (Alex Moffat) babbling about football to his wife while she’s trying to put groceries away. “All the words come out fast and in the wrong order,” Heidi Gardner says, “because he hasn’t spoken to anyone else that day....
To that end, we asked a variety of men how they find the time to connect with their father now that they are fathers themselves. Some spoke of watching sports or regularly meeting at a favorite restaurant, others of a shared love of yard work or a simple exchange of movie quotes. Whether the way they connect is big or small, all of them have worked hard to maintain a connection with their father and, through that, a more complete relationship....
Let’s face it: the $1.9 trillion in Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan sounds like a lot of money because it is. The third round of economic impact payments to the tune of $1,400, the expansion of the earned income tax credits, and child tax credits to give parents monthly cash, means much of the benefits in the stimulus package will be in the form of cash that will make its way directly into the pockets of low- and middle-income Americans....
First, the pandemic temporarily shut down factories. Then the chips that run everything from airbags to emergency braking systems suddenly ran out. And now supply chain issues have left other vital components stranded at port. The result: dealerships are desperately low on inventory, forcing buyers to scramble for cars and pay inflated prices when they manage to find one. A record 82% buyers paid more than MSRP on a new car in January, according to the car-shopping site Edmunds....

As the concept of fatherhood rapidly evolves from the stereotypical non-nurturing, mid-20th-century breadwinner and disciplinarian, psychologists are realizing that more study is needed to address the problem of loneliness among new dads. RELATED: The 50 Best Places to Work for New Dads 2017 “It’s really lonely trying to figure out fatherhood when you don’t like the old model but don’t feel you can ask anybody,” says Charles Schaeffer Ph.D., a psychologist in New York City....

As politicians debate when to reopen the economy, no one’s sure what reopening will look like. Will stir-crazy consumers kickstart capitalism by rushing to newly reopened businesses? Or will we all be too shell-shocked by the pandemic to spend with pre-COVID abandon? It’s understandable if you want to pull the blankets over your head, stream another episode of Ozark, and tune out financial discussions. But you’d serve yourself well by facing it today....
