Radcliffe found fame as a child actor starring as Harry Potter in the film franchise based on Rowling’s wildly successful book series. In a recently published interview with The Atlantic, Radcliffe talked about Rowling’s past comments that have been perceived by many as anti-trans. Radcliffe released a statement via The Trevor Project shortly after Rowling’s posts in 2020. “Transgender women are women,” he wrote in his statement.

We packed up and moved to Australia, in order to allow our daughter a sample of "normal life" as a teenager. But that's normal teenage behavior too.

They set little traps for Hunham’s arrogance and sic their daddies on the administrators, who then bear down on him. It’s a ritzy, laugh-out-loud Christmas miracle that whisks away four of the boys at the end of the first act. But one of them, an almost cool only-child named Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa), can’t go because nobody can reach his parents. He directed this movie — from a script David Hemingson wrote — and moody, quarrelsome people are his specialty. This is his eighth feature-length movie — “Citizen Ruth,” “Election,” “Sideways,” “About Schmidt,” “The Descendants,” “Nebraska” and “Downsizing” precede this one.

Headed by Iván, El Chapo’s oldest son, the siblings have emerged as key figures in the Sinaloa Cartel, U.S. and Mexican anti-narcotics officials said. But he was killed in 2008 in Culiacán in a hail of bullets amid infighting between warring factions of the Sinaloa Cartel. The agency in April placed Iván on the list of its 10 Most Wanted Fugitives, joining Jesús Alfredo and Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, a Sinaloa Cartel legend and El Chapo’s alleged former business partner. They also kidnapped eight soldiers and surrounded military housing where wives and children of Mexican soldiers lived, Mexican officials said. Despite that blow to the Sinaloa Cartel, fentanyl keeps flowing north.

That makes me hugely happy, but I'm struggling to help them understand their privilege and appreciate the value of a dollar. You asked me if the answer is teaching your kids to understand their luck or if it's getting over your own hang-ups. You mention helping your children understand their privilege and I think that's a really important part of this conversation. The propensity for developing an attitude of entitlement is true for anyone with privilege, and since privilege is relative, most kids have at least some. But teaching our kids to recognize their privilege is different than teaching them to feel guilty about their privilege.
