Netflix's "Nobody Wants This" centers on the relationship between a rabbi and an agnostic podcast host. The show is loosely inspired by creator Erin Foster's relationship with her husband, Simon Tikhman. Erin Foster got the idea for 'Nobody Wants This' in 2019 while converting to JudaismSimon Tikhman and Erin Foster in September. Stefania Rosini/Netflix"It's kind of a love letter to our relationship," Foster said of "Nobody Wants This" on her podcast. "I intentionally made the characters really different than the people are in real life because I didn't want to get divorced," Foster told Today.com.

After all, I knew perfectly well what I'd signed up for: learning Portuguese from the biggest asshole on the App Store. It might be an overstatement to call tough love the secret sauce for engaging Gen Z customers. It followed that in 2023 with a send-up of personal-injury-attorney TV ads: "Lawyer Fights Duolingo Owl for $2,700,000." Despite the research, Duolingo insists its guilt-tripping notifications do the trick of enticing people to drop whatever they're doing to log on to the app. When Duolingo's head of product, Cem Kansu, posted a thread in 2020 about the success of "the passive aggressive reminder," several unhappy Duolingo users chimed in.

CNN —It feels weird to begin a complimentary piece about Anne Hathaway by saying I didn’t especially enjoy her latest movie, but here goes. Yet, as she recently explained to the New York Times, she’s spent far too much of her life trying to make other people happy. Even now, a Google search for “hate Anne Hathaway” produces more than five million hits. The movie is set years after that betrayal, and Solène, like Hathaway, has outgrown her habit of people pleasing. Hathaway is so luminously beautiful in “The Idea of You” that, for me at least, it undermines the entire film.

CNN —Gen Z is having a harder time than previous generations did at their age, according to new research. It is one of a series of four surveys about Gen Z, said survey author Zach Hrynowski, a senior researcher at Gallup. Gen Z people who are 18- to 26-years-old are less likely to rate their lives positively than older generations when they were in that age range, Hrynowski said, noting this analysis didn’t do a direct comparison but used previous surveys to assess happiness levels of Gen Z and its predecessors. Two factors were heavily correlated with Gen Z happiness: how much time they got for weekend sleep and relaxation, and even more important was their sense of purpose, he said. Gen Z puts a lot of effort into skin care and mental health, but bad sleep means looking tired and feeling badly, Salas said.
