Related storiesHe said: "I think I struggle with a sort of toxic empathy problem where I feel a lot for people. AdvertisementDuring the Q&A session, Gadd touched on why he thinks "Baby Reindeer" resonated with audiences. "I'm not sure there's been a TV show like 'Baby Reindeer' that's kind of captured the dark difficulties and idiosyncrasies of life." He said: "But I think 'Baby Reindeer' has stood out so much because it goes back to something about the human condition, which is dark and difficult and challenging, and every human being is a mixture of good and bad."

To be clear, Stormy Daniels has never accused Donald Trump of anything but a payoff. Daniels took the stand on Tuesday and spoke confidently. She gestured with her hands, at times joking, and at other times she spoke so quickly that the judge had to ask her to slow down. Trump was not threatening during the sexual encounter, she testified, though he was standing between her and the door. She did not say no to sex with him, but she also didn’t consent to him not using a condom.

☆ The great wealth transfer has started — but millennials, Gen Z may not inherit as much as they anticipate

There's a massive wealth transfer underway. "It has started and it's only going to accelerate," said Liz Koehler, head of advisor engagement for BlackRock's wealth advisory business. And yet, some millennials and Generation Z may not be inheriting as much as they think. Recent reports show a growing disconnect between how much the next generation expects to receive in the "great wealth transfer" and how much their aging parents plan on leaving them. However, 55% of baby boomers who plan to leave behind an inheritance said they will pass on less than $250,000, Alliant found.

Sprout Social breaks down how much the influencers surveyed in February charged for sponsored content. Many of the influencers surveyed said creating long-form videos takes more time and doesn't usually pay off in terms of engagement. Meanwhile, many of the influencers surveyed (49%) said they were afraid virtual influencers would take paid opportunities away from humans .

Ireland's Bambie Thug told CNN they disagreed with Israel's involvement in the competition. Long-standing rules preventing flags of non-competing countries and territories mean that Palestinian flags are banned from the crowd, which Bambie Thug told CNN they “100%” disagreed with.

Spending more to save more is an all-too common pitfall. But spending to save can lead to excessive buying habits and high-interest credit card debt if you aren't careful, according to consumer savings expert Andrea Woroch. ″'Spaving is us justifying our desire to buy more," said Brad Klontz, a Boulder, Colorado-based psychologist and certified financial planner. Yet, even as inflation and high interest rates squeeze budgets, consumers continue to fall for these financial traps. "We are just constantly spending more than we can afford and then we experience stress related to our financial health," Klontz said.

☆ Inflation is scrambling Americans' perceptions of middle class life

For many in the middle class, inflation is at the heart of this feeling. That's making people feel locked out of many of the milestones long associated with middle-class life. 74% of middle class Americans have cut back on non-essential spending, according to Primerica's survey. 46% of middle-class Americans said they've dialed back or completely paused saving for the future and 38% said they didn't think they could afford an unexpected expense over $1000. Buying a home may be the greatest example of a tenet of middle-class life feeling out of reach for many, and that struggle is very real rather than merely negatively perceived.
