☆ How a 14-Minute Video on Posture Changed My Life

I crave this feeling, which I associate with sitting in a darkened eye doctor’s office, listening to the soft click of the phoropter. There is another avenue for finding environments that have a swaddling effect on the mind, and that is the sprawling and wildly popular world of ASMR videos on YouTube. Many ASMR videos involve role play, with a YouTuber taking on a specific identity to simulate a one-on-one prom-dress fitting or lice check. While ASMR videos can prompt that nice prickly feeling, they have the broader aim of soothing viewers, many of whom often watch them as a stress-management tool or sleep aid. I started watching ASMR videos during Covid lockdown.

My father, Aaron Abady, died when I was 8, leaving my 38-year-old mother to raise three young children.

☆ Netflix's 'Wednesday' is competing with the streamer's biggest hits, 'Stranger Things' and 'Squid Game,' for record-high viewership
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-07 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Netflix's "Wednesday" is already one of the streamer's biggest TV originals ever after two weeks. Its viewership is on pace to pass "Stranger Things" season four and is rivaling its top show, "Squid Game." "Wednesday" also had Netflix's biggest first week of viewership ever, beating "Stranger Things" season four. The show is chasing the Korean-language series "Squid Game" to be Netflix's biggest original show of all time, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said at an event in New York City on Tuesday. "This group is far more likely to be among highly engaged viewers because the series has strong overlap with other young-skewing Netflix shows," including "Stranger Things," Alexander wrote.

☆ 'Wednesday' review: Jenna Ortega makes Netflix's Addams Family series look like a snap
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( Review Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —Although the main character’s name was inspired by the poetic line “Wednesday’s child is full of woe,” “Wednesday” is generally a delight, thanks almost entirely to Jenna Ortega. Having outgrown her Disney Channel days, Ortega makes the Addams Family’s now-high-school-age daughter the coolest humorless goth sociopath you’ll ever meet, in a Netflix series that’s more kooky than spooky or ooky. – a “five-fingered discount.” The writers extract a great deal of comedic mileage from that extremity, so give them a hand. Seeking to bring something new a property like the Addams Family, which has been done so many times before, isn’t easy without altering its DNA. To its credit, “Wednesday” rises to the challenge and mostly manages to make it look like a snap.

Adorable kids and horror paraphernalia seem like an incongruous pairing. There’s no doubt we’re interested in that.”The Lopez kids have what Farley calls “type-T personalities” – the “T” stands for thrill-seeking. They’ve learned to filter themselves around their pals so as not to scare the other kids and save it for when they’re home, where their horror habits aren’t questioned.
