"We are especially confident in our sexuality and the way that we feel and who we are," Olivia told me. Lunden and Olivia told me they want to advocate for all LGBTQ+ people, including those who don't look like them.

One of your career goals is to figure out what you actually want. So when it came time to pick a profession, Prakapas chose… books. The source of his misery, he eventually realized, was that he didn't actually want to be a book editor. (Also, as a former book editor, he undoubtedly knew that, if I continued down that path, it would be a long and arduous one.) Most of my college friends had zero interest in finance and were mystified about why I claimed to find it interesting.

☆ Ariana Grande's newest muse 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' is a tragic film disguised as romance

The coordinates led to Montauk, New York, a key location in the 2004 sci-fi film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." But the promise of a "spotless mind," free of anger and heartache, is too enticing. My very first viewing of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" occurred in 2010, when I was 14. The "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" is, in short, a lie.

Some of these road trips have been bliss, with the kids taking long naps in the back seat, while others have been less enjoyable, with screaming fits and diaper blowouts. Except to announce an upcoming bathroom or meal stop, we now rarely engaged with each other on these car trips. Instead, we would pick an audiobook as a family and listen to it during our ride. And there it was, a parenting win amid the initial shock of a no-screen time road trip. Now, we look forward to car trips with no screensLeading up to our trips now, we start talking about which book we'll listen to while on the road.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The momentary bliss-fueled blackouts that used to consume T.J. Watt after every big play still come. So maybe it's best to let others — like older brother J.J. Watt — serve as his hype men. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin called Watt “the best defensive player on the planet” on Tuesday.

☆ Opinion | Taylor and Travis Might Save Romance, but Posh and Becks Were Here All Along

Or how young they were at the time — they met as early-20-somethings, basically kids! Or, by the standards of celebrity romances, how un-stage-managed the courtship was, how palpably obsessed with her he was, certainly to the detriment of his relationship with his coaches. With, yes, the cushioning of extreme wealth — but in spite of all the forces that unravel other A-list couples, the media maelstroms and the unique temptations of celebrity. The romance of Taylor and Travis, at a time of political polarization and growing ideological alienation between the sexes, has inspired a lot of entertaining, kidding-not-kidding takes about how a Swift-Kelce marriage or a Swift-Kelce baby might revolutionize our culture. But watching “Beckham” made me wonder if a more ideal celebrity model for champions of romance and fecundity has actually been with us all along.

The U.S. strikes reflect the Biden administration's determination to maintain a delicate balance. According to the Pentagon, there have been at least 12 attacks on U.S. bases and personnel in Iraq and four in Syria since Oct. 17. According to the Pentagon, all the U.S. personnel hurt in the militant attacks received minor injuries and all returned to duty. Such retaliation and strikes against Iranian targets in Syria after similar attacks on U.S. bases are routine.
