☆ Opinion: What our obsession with Gypsy Rose Blanchard says about us

Sarah Gundle Sarah Gundle, PsyDThese are appropriate questions, when you consider the public fascination with stories about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was recently released on parole after serving eight and a half years for helping to kill her abusive mother. The revelation drove Gypsy Rose to seek revenge by convincing her boyfriend to murder her mother. Of course, the behavior of Dee Dee Blanchard and Debra McCurdy was beyond the pale, rising to the level of evil. And would Dee Dee Blanchard have been able to stop the train of destruction if someone had more doggedly recognized and confronted her mental illness? Maybe we need to heed the words of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who has said that trying to understand where her mother was coming from “brought me to a place of forgiveness.” Blanchard recently told CNN of her mother: “She was not an evil woman.

☆ Opinion: This Nicolas Cage movie is a hard lesson in being human

CNN —Across the political spectrum, there’s a consensus that social media is dangerous. Director Kristoffer Borgli’s latest film, “Dream Scenario,” half builds on, half parodies those fears and anxieties for its absurdist plot. It also suggests, though, that the dynamics and dangers of online existence aren’t exactly new and aren’t exactly about social media at all. “Dream Scenario” is about how, even before we could see short hip hop dance videos on loop, we’ve always been in each other’s skulls. As “Dream Scenario” suggests, for better and worse, to be human is to dream together.

☆ Opinion: Being a Muslim American right now is like living on borrowed time

He is the author of many books, including “American Islamophobia: Understanding the Roots and Rise of Fear.” You can follow him at his socials at @khaledbeydoun. Like him, I’m an Arab, Muslim and American — an amalgam of identities that conjures up “pariah” in the world we live in. What does it mean for a mother who escaped war for the safety of an American suburb? This existential ballad of being Arab or Muslim in America is far more onerous, far more absurd. Wadea’s death foreshadows that these figures may spike again, and descend on the heads of Arab and Muslim Americans shadowed by suspicion.

☆ ‘Fatal Attraction’ Review: Here’s Why She Did It
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( Mike Hale | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +3 min

So Alexandra Cunningham (“Dirty John,” “Desperate Housewives”) and Kevin J. Hynes (“Perry Mason”), working with the film’s writer, James Dearden, have reimagined “Fatal Attraction” in myriad ways, none of which are erotic and few of which are thrilling. Dan is up for parole because in this new universe, he has served 15 years for the murder of his stalker, Alex Forrest (Lizzy Caplan). The temporal shifts also serve to educate both Dan and the audience about the noxious privilege and entitlement that precipitated his downfall. But apparently converting “Fatal Attraction” into a reasonably diverting crime drama wasn’t enough to remove the stain of the original. Ellen’s research leads her to reassess the behavior of her father’s murdered nemesis, and the greatest labor this “Fatal Attraction” takes on is its effort to turn Alex into an understandable, even sympathetic, character.

Things have been difficult for her family, she says, but one thing she isn’t worried about: a midlife crisis, looming just over the horizon. One of our questions was about whether they had experienced a midlife crisis and how they would define the term. Many people said they felt they couldn’t be having a midlife crisis, because there was no bourgeois numbness to rebel against. “Who has midlife crisis money?”The traditional midlife crisis, as presented in popular culture, at least, unfolds amid suburban ennui. We just increase our Lexapro.”Was the midlife crisis ever even real?

☆ How TV coverage of Queen Elizabeth's funeral changed my mind about her

But I was deeply moved Monday by the TV image of Queen Elizabeth’s coffin being lowered into its vault at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor with the queen’s bagpiper playing her to rest. The queen and TV came of age together. Now, I wonder if her funeral will be one of the media events that historian use to mark the end of the TV era. But watching them on iPhone did not do justice to the majestic and panoramic imagery being offered on TV screens. Of all the anchors and analysts, CNN’s anchor Anderson Cooper seemed the most plugged into the rhythms of the day’s events.

☆ De ce visele noastre ar putea fi cheia pentru călătoria în timp; Fenomenul studiat din ce în ce mai mult de psihologi

Ideea că visele din timpul somnului pot prezice viitorul a fost parte din cultura oamenilor încă de la începutul civilizației. Dr Julia Mossbridge a dus mai departe aceste cercetări și a făcut recent progrese semnificative. Dacă ar exista un mod de a transcende timpul și spațiul, poate că cea mai complexă mașinărie din Univers, creierul uman, ar fi mijlocul pentru a face acest lucru. Timpul atunci când visăm ar putea fi foarte diferit de timpul în timp ce suntem în stare de gândire logică. În timp ce visăm, am putea intra într-o stare de conștiență în care timpul se comportă diferit”, spune Krippner.
