Yep, the “Operation Varsity Blues” college admission scandal is officially in the news again, except now it isn’t just a celebrity parent bribing a crew coach to get their child ahead–it was perhaps the president. “The high score the proxy earned for him,” according to the New York Times, “helped the young Mr. Trump to later gain admittance when he transferred as an undergraduate to the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton business school....

Until today, not much was known about She-Hulk, another MCU-bound series for Disney+, beyond its title character. She-Hulk is the last Marvel character co-created by Stan Lee. Her real name is Jennifer Walters, an attorney who is also the cousin of Bruce Banner.

This is why she recently snuck into a Texas detention center for Latin American migrants and why she is so concerned, not only about the Trump Administration’s former policy of separating families, but also about their current policy of detaining families together. Prison is prison. Armed guards are armed guards. Call the policy what you will, but internment is internment and imprisonment is imprisonment. Both as an expert and as a human being, Ina has been witness to this hard fact....

Fresh off an MTV Video Music Awards performance of (some) of her hits and reunion with the little girl who danced in the music videos of her heyday, Elliott decided to keep the nostalgia train going on Halloween. She recreated the album cover for her 22-year-old album Supa Dupa Fly, released when she still went by Missy Misdemeanor Elliott, and posted a side-by-side comparison on Twitter. “[O]ne of these pictures I took ONLY 3 DAYS AGO the other was 22 YEARS AGO CAN YALL TELL THE DIFFERENCE?...

The Moderna shot is remaining 90 percent effective for up to six months after the second dose of the life-saving vaccine. The company’s data from Phase 3 of its trials also revealed that it was more than 95 percent effective against severe COVID for up to six months after the second dose. Here’s what the six-month efficacy actually means, how it brings Moderna one step closer to full authorization by the FDA, and if Moderna is working on any boosters in order to fight emerging COVID variants or keep the vaccine effective for longer....

Simply put, everyone is having an emotional affair without you. “The epidemic of emotional affairs coincides with a tendency that we have noticed for people in long-term relationships to defend themselves psychologically,” psychologist Mark Borg told Fatherly. “That is, ironically protect themselves from anxiety-provoking aspects of love.” The surprising findings come from a group of experts conducting ongoing research on how men and women lie, cheat, and deceive those they love the most....

I have an almost four-year-old son who is pretty smart for his age. He is very verbal and does understand feelings and when people are hurt, sad, happy — you name it! Last year, his uncle put YouTube videos of superheroes fighting each other. These videos are something that I am against and I really did not know how bad they were until I watched one completely through. I informed all that my son cannot watch these anymore at all!...

Kellan was born with neuroblastoma and is paralyzed from his waist down. The Maine native is an exceptional child for his age: He skis, he rock-climbs, and he even sprints in his wheelchair. His positivity and attitude toward life are nothing but inspiring to his family (he has seven siblings), his parents, and anyone he encounters. He is also an ambassador for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation (a nonprofit that helps find cures for children with cancer), and he travels to DC often to convince lawmakers to support a bill funding childhood cancer research....

And every couple has that capital B Big Fight that happens. It might be started by something seemingly small, like the sleep-deprived changing of a onesie, or something bigger, like a debate over the best type of food for your infant. They will happen. Oh will they happen. But here’s the thing: They can be resolved. As thousands of couples who have endured their first-year can tell you, they might even look back and laugh at the midnight diaper genie meltdown of August 2017....

That said, if you’re thinking about making a run, here’s what you need to know: What is the Nintendo SNES Classic? First, the limited-release $80 SNES is essentially a pint-sized version of the classic 16-bit system that debuted in 1991, and it’s pretty damn sweet. It fits in the palm of your hand, connects via HDMI, and comes with two controllers that are almost identical to the originals. More importantly, this time the cords are long enough (unlike that on the NES Classic controller) that nobody’s forced to sit on top of a 60-inch flatscreen when they play Donkey Kong....

On Sunday, April 24, John shared a really cool clip of his son jumping between different platforms and objects in the indoor adventure gym. First, Ben jumps from spaced-out platforms before grabbing and swinging on various money bars.
