20-18. All 3 Cars Movies The reason there have been more Cars movies than any other non-Toy Story Pixar franchise has more to do with toy sales than emotional resonance, so it should come as no surprise that they are at the bottom of the list. Even someone who cries during those Sarah McLaughlin commercials would probably not tear up watching Lightning McQueen and Mater get into their automotive antics....

If the nine families involved in the lawsuit agreed to the settlement, they would each receive $3.66 million. Lawyers representing the families said that they would “consider their next steps” and would not publicly speak on whether or not they were likely to accept the proposed settlement. In 2012, the mass shooter at Sandy Hook used a Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle made by Remington to murder six adults and 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut....

Possible spoiler for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ahead. However, this is just a rumor, so it might not be real. This week, a new rumor surfaced on both Reddit and the fan-run site Making Star Wars that suggested that the next big Star Wars movie — The Rise of Skywalker — will feature the return of Han Solo in flashbacks. Apparently, these flashbacks will finally explain that Han is Rey’s father, but Leia is not her mother....

A bill that just passed the house in Florida would subject children to genital checks to ensure they are playing on a sports team that corresponds with their assigned sex at birth. These bills all do the same things: single out trans children, deny them access to full participation in society, make them less safe, and force them to feel less accepted. In a new op-ed, NFL veteran RK Russell wrote specifically about legislation cropping up across the country that targets transgender student-athletes....

Ben Tolliday said he was feeling mighty bored over the past several months, so he did what any other person would do. He ventured to make a backyard rollercoaster. Using three weeks, PVC pipes, cinder blocks, sandbags, and wooden beams, Ben constructed a working rollercoaster. Ben handled building both the track and the car – and it actually works. “It’s on casters, and we’ve got three sets of four wheels....

Reynolds has a very successful career in Hollywood. He’s a leading man who always seems to be working on a new project. But he prioritizes being a family man above all else. Reynolds is married to fellow actor Blake Lively, and together they have three daughters with a fourth kid on the way. Recently the couple attended the American Cinematheque Awards in Los Angeles, where Reynolds accepted an award, People reported, “presented annually to an extraordinary artist currently making a significant contribution to the art of the Moving Picture....

Ryan is dad to three kids, James, 7, Inez, 5, and Betty, 2, who he shares with his wife of 10 years, Blake Lively. According to People, Ryan recently attended a Q&A session while promoting his new Netflix film The Adam Project. During the session, he was asked if kissing his co-star was “real” and Ryan had a hilarious answer for it. First, Ryan joked saying, “I didn’t mean it” before asking if the kid who answered the question was his wife in disguise....

ScarJo was a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show recently and spoke about her 13-month-old son, Cosmo. It’s not a name we hear often, so naturally, Kelly was curious about how she and Colin came up with the name. Joking at first, ScarJo said she and Colin “just threw a bunch of letters together” before explaining further. “It just seemed like a refreshing — it’s so charming,” she shared, per People....

But if every argument can be supported, none can be made without caveats.Sure, there are physical differences between male and female brains, but who says that affects how children learn? For every study that shows single-sex schools increase the risk of children ascribing to gender stereotypes, there’s a study that shows gender stereotypes plummeting in single-sex schools. And don’t even get us started on long-term academic outcomes. A strong case can be made that graduates of single-sex versus coed schools are more, less, and equally intelligent....

The result? He says he did a pretty good job and that his daughter was content. Either way, it’s pretty fitting that Conant, who gained notoriety as a Food Network judge on such competition shows as Chopped, is put through the paces in his home kitchen. “My family definitely challenges me in the kitchen more often than not,” confirms the award-winning chef, restauranteur, and cookbook author. “Those are the fun — and best — aspects that keep me on my toes....

My son and I stared down the long linoleum hallway at the horde of kids and parents scurrying around in confusion. It was pandemonium: children crying, grownups stressing, and teachers assistants literally running around in circles, not sure why. My boy’s tiny palm sweated in my hand, and his grip was just a little too tight. A clock on the wall read 8:30 am, drop-off time. His eyes flashed back and forth to the teachers, the parents, and the door to his new classroom....

Obviously, we have tons of questions. But given that the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be leaning into a multiverse, (literally, Doctor Strange’s next movie is titled The Multiverse of Madness) the main question is: Is this Electro the same Electro from Andrew Garfield’s universe? After all, in the post-credit scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Jonah Jameson, e-tooled to be an Info-Wars type character, was revealed and was revealed to be J....

“Loss of attraction tends to develop over time when partners no longer share new or exciting experiences,” says Rebecca Phillips, a therapist in Frisco, TX. “When you’re no longer curious about your partner, you can feel stagnant and bored.” Every couple is different: For some, the loss of attraction is purely physical. Maybe your partner is in a sweatpants-all-day mode and you’re just not feeling the same spark. For others, though, the fading attraction has to do with other natural-but-hard changes in their relationship....

The company built a rabid following with its highly efficient, smokeless camp stoves that could boil water efficiently with whatever was on the forest floor — bark, rain-soaked twigs, dried grasses. Thanks to its unique design, which burns natural fuel more efficiently and with next to zero smoke, it was perfect for backpackers who didn’t want to carry fuel in their packs. Eventually, the company applied its design to full-sized fire pits for backyard use....

My 18-month-old son loves water. He loves bath time, he loves the beach, he even loves washing his hands. The only thing he doesn’t love about water? Drinking it. This summer has been a particularly hot one, so my wife and I have been working hard to get him to drink more water. After trying several different sippy cups, he finally settled on a water bottle that has a flip-top straw, very similar to the ones he sees us using....

“Childhood masturbation is remarkably common and has even been observed in utero,” Michael Reitano, a family physician, told Fatherly. Reitano says that masturbation may begin as early as age four, and peaks at adolescence when 90 percent of young men partake (and the rest lie). The use of a pillow, cushion, or the entire couch is part of that sexual exploration, he says. Mary Fisher, a licensed sex therapist, adds that young children are usually unaware of what they’re doing (beyond the fact that it feels good) so they rub against familiar items in familiar places....

Burns and Drozd have been buddies for a while. During his stint as a solo artist, Burns opened for The Flaming Lips and made an appearance in the band’s film Christmas on Mars. On their new album Foreverywhere, Burns and Drozd play the sort of glittering, psychedelic tunes children of the 70’s may have heard out of their parent’s 8-track. And the lyrics tell tales about Unicorns who used to front rock bands having existential crises and a fact-driven song about kids pooping that sounds like the theme of the weirdest gameshow of all time....

“When people have certain goals and realize those goals have to shift, it can be traumatizing to a couple,” says Turocy. It’s common for couples to feel isolated or overwhelmed as they come to terms with infertility and seek other treatments or alternatives to biological parenthood. Social aspects add to the struggle and heartache: Seeing other couples out with their babies or reading birth announcements on social media tends to sting, leading to sadness and anger....

But this year, it’s a bit more complicated, as the ongoing pandemic and the rise of the delta variant have parents harvesting a variety of concerns regarding the return to school in person. Now, a poll conducted by the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health reveals the immense stress and anxiety that parents, and their kids, are feeling as classrooms reopen to students. According to the poll, parents say their kids have primary areas of concern when it comes to school being in-person again: the possible return of virtual learning (26 percent), being around large groups of kids, AKA their peers (24 percent), being behind on academics (22 percent), and getting along with friends (22 percent)....

“Subaru of America, Inc. announced a safety recall on certain 2019-2022 model year (MY) Subaru Ascent vehicles,” a statement released by the company states. “Subaru is announcing this recall to encourage owners of affected vehicles to contact an authorized Subaru retailer as soon as they receive notification of this recall from Subaru of America.” Fatherly’s Subaru pick for the best family cars of 2022, the Subaru Forester, is not affected by this recall....
