CNN —The public absence of Catherine, Princess of Wales, has grown from a niche royal watcher concern to an international punchline in a matter of weeks. Droves of amateur detectives have crafted timelines and deep dives into the princess’ movements over the last few months, combining real concern with outlandish conspiracy. The uproar, the theories, the analyses, the jokes and, yes, the serious concern — they all show the multitude of ways people interact with and view the royal family. “Not [the royal family] specifically, just anyone in that kind of position.”Catherine, Princess Of Wales is seen during the opening of Evelina London's new children's day surgery unit on December 5, 2023 in London, England.

In her 25 years of making films, Sofia Coppola has always found the poetry behind the headlines, the banality in the glamour, the soul in the superficial. “(Priscilla) wasn’t looking to make a movie out of the story,” Coppola told The Associated Press in a recent interview. They shot out of order: On some days, Spaeny was teenage Priscilla in the morning and adult, pregnant Priscilla after lunch. Though there are endless photographs and video footage of Elvis and Priscilla, those photographs have disappeared, Coppola said. Before the film's premiere in Venice, Coppola said she wasn’t making “Priscilla” for Elvis fans.

Celina Bhandari gave up the digital nomad lifestyle to live in NYC full-time. Initially, I didn't see myself as a digital nomad, but the more I traveled while working, the more accurate it seemed. While working as a digital nomad had many perks — and although it was once my dream — I learned there are some drawbacks to this lifestyle. This was a big reason why I stopped being a digital nomad — I wanted to have a consistent community of people in my life.

☆ ‘Healthy eating’ curriculum can do more harm than good
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-09 | by ( Oona Hanson | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Editor’s note: Oona Hanson is a parent coach in private practice and a family mentor at Equip, an eating disorder treatment program. In my work supporting parents and guardians whose children have eating disorders, the process of navigating school nutrition units can be particularly fraught. Most teachers don’t realize that delivering a nutrition lesson can be “leading an expedition into a minefield,” according to Zoë Bisbing, an eating disorder therapist in New York City. Nutrition curriculum has an effect on students, but families play a major role in helping children learn about food. Following typical “healthy eating” guidance to try to lose weight can mean “missing much-needed nutrition at a time when teens have a high need for calories and nutrients for growth and development.”Triggering an eating disorder isn’t the only unintended impact of nutrition lessons.

☆ TikTok influencer posts her five-figure monthly earnings online. She says pay transparency is as 'authentic' as it gets

She made just over $40,000 from the Creator Fund in 2021, and she's a part of its new beta program. The 24-year-old amassed an online following when she began posting TikTok videos out of boredom in her New York City apartment during the Covid-19 pandemic. TikTok creator fund is finally a much bigger check. For the month leading up to August 5, her videos earned her $13,105.91, according to monthly TikTok statements. She predicts that TikTok's CPB will earn her an extra $100,000 for the year — on top of her monthly earnings from brand deals.

☆ Warren Buffett just became even more relatable (for a billionaire)
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-17 | by ( Sirena Bergman | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Warren Buffett and his wife Astrid attended the very-rich-people gathering in Sun Valley, Idaho. Apparently, Astrid was grumbling about a $4 coffee — and that's not even the most relatable part. That's because Warren Buffett is all of us, except with $115 billion in his bank account (sort of). As a journalist, this is only 50% relatable, but reading through billionaire quotes is not a bad day at the metaphorical office. This factoid, about a six-year-old Warren Buffett starting a business selling chewing gum, is maybe less relatable in its details, but who among us has not at some point worked in retail?

We’re looking back at the strongest, smartest opinion takes of the week from CNN and other outlets. “Big Brother” is a fierce indictment of a power structure that surveils and oppresses while poverty and suffering proliferate. Clay Jones“Next year will mark 50 years since President Richard Nixon resigned as a result of the Watergate scandal. And yet, “Trump denies any and all wrongdoing and continues to remain the leader of the pack. “When former President Donald Trump took office in 2017, he left the rules in place.

☆ Opinion: These shots at Prince Harry are cheap – and telling
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-08 | by ( Opinion Holly Thomas | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —For a man whose life has been marked by ceaseless public interest in his every move, Prince Harry’s performance over the last few days has felt remarkably amateur. The issue of phone hacking by Britain’s tabloid media is far more insidious than some coverage of Harry’s testimony might suggest. In 2021, it settled phone hacking claims with other actors including Martin Clunes and David Walliams, and issued an apology. So much of Harry’s life and experience is unrelatable and apparently contradictory. But none of us is ever likely to be judged as exhaustively — or as loudly — as Prince Harry.
