While solitude often gets a bad rap, spending time alone can come with plenty of benefits. As sociologist Anna Akbari suggests, solitude can be stabilizing and grounding, allowing people a chance to pause and cope with the many difficulties and stressors of life.
In my common law marriage of more than two decades, I have not cheated. As far as I know, she hasn’t either. It seems clear we will live our lives together. We work on the relationship and it has gotten better with each passing year. I feel lucky to have such an amazing partner and…

Ben Affleck agrees with his fellow Bat-actors that wearing Batman’s costumed sucks. While breaking down his acting career with GQ, Affleck looked back with terror at the long – and hot – days he spent as the Caped Crusader across a number of DC live-action movies. “I hated the batsuits,” he said. “The batsuits are horrendous to wear. They’re incredibly hot, for one thing. They don’t breathe. They’re made to look the way they want them to look, and there’s no thought put into the human being.” He continued about the heat trapped by the suit: “Now I’m already—I sweat, you know what I mean? I get hot. And so in that thing, you would just be pouring water because it’s got the cowl over it. Like, there’s one thing to wear the suit, but once you cover your head, I guess that’s where all your heat kind of escapes and you feel it.” Affleck played Batman a few times. He first appeared in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” before reprising his role in “Justice League” – which famously got a straight-to-Max Zach Snyde
Molly Ringwald doesn’t think “The Breakfast Club” should be get a remake. Instead, the ’80s icon would rather “see movies that are inspired by ‘The Breakfast Club,’ but take it in a different direction.” While speaking on the C2E2 panel “Don’t You Forget About Me: ‘The Breakfast Club’ 40th Anniversary Reunion” on April 12, Ringwald said about the 1985 movie, “I personally don’t believe in remaking that movie, because I think this movie is very much of its time,” she said. “It resonates with people today. I believe in making movies that are inspired by other movies but build on it and represent what’s going on today. This is very, you know, it’s very white, this movie. You don’t see a lot of different ethnicities. We don’t talk about gender. None of that. And I feel like that really doesn’t represent our world today.” The reunion panel brought the core five cast members back together for the first time since the film’s release 40 years prior. Alongside Ringwald was Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael
We finally have an idea of just how big of a hit “Severance” was for Apple TV+. Since Season 2 premiered in February, the dystopian thriller saw 6.4 billion streaming minutes, according to data from Nielsen. Because of the way Nielsen calculates its data, this number includes viewership from both Season 1 and Season 2. It also accounted for viewership from the week of Jan. 13 to the week of March 17. The Season 2 finale set a new weekly high for the series, coming in at 876 million minutes during the week of March 17 to 23. That marks a 29% viewership increase compared to the season’s preview high. “Severance” also pushed out Netflix’s “Temptation Island” when it came to the highest concentration of viewers aged 18-to-49 years old, the most coveted demographic when it comes to television ratings. Roughly 71% of the viewership for “Severance” fell into that age range. Season 2’s finale also marked the first time “Severance” entered Nielsen’s Overall Top 10 list rather than its Originals Top 10 list. This is a
Jimmy Kimmel had a field day Wednesday in response to a Wall Street Journal investigative report that Elon Musk has fathered “many mini-Musks” in an attempt to “seed the world in his own image.” But the late night host did not seem all that surprised by the revelations of the report — we already knew he loves babies. “I mean, he spent $300 million to get one elected president, he loves them so much,” Kimmel joked, getting a dig in at President Donald Trump. “Elon Musk is the subject of an investigative report into his harem of baby mamas,” the host began in his “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” monologue. “The Wall Street Journal of all places published a bonkers account of Musk’s efforts to seed the world in his own image. The story said he’s been using his social media platform to recruit women to carry his children, and then he buys their silence with multi-million dollar nondisclosure agreements. Who said romance is dead?” While the Journal reported that it is believed that the tech billionaire has fathered “at least
Sean “Diddy” Combs has requested that the video footage that showed him brutally beating his ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura” be excluded from evidence ahead of his trial. “Mr. Combs seeks to exclude all available video files related to an incident from March 5, 2016, in the Intercontinental Hotel,” his lawyers wrote on his behalf in a 15-page motion that was submitted to the U.S. Southern District Court of New York on Thursday. Combs’ team claims the footage, which was released by CNN in May 2024, has been tampered with and thus wants it removed. “There is no longer any dispute that the CNN footage from March 5, 2016, at the Intercontinental Hotel, offered by the government at three separate bail hearings, is wholly inaccurate, having been altered, manipulated, sped-up and edited to be out of sequence,” the legal document states. “As indicated below, CNN paid [redacted] for footage, copied that footage in unknown ways, presented that footage out of order and destroyed the original. Accordingly, all
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow referred to President Donald Trump’s administration being found liable for contempt of court to the metaphorical phrase “the thing right on the edge of the abyss,” saying the camp’s failure to adhere to a judge’s deportation order is pushing the country closer to the brink of peril. “If you want to know where contempt of court is on the map of the death of the republic, it’s that thing right on the edge of the abyss,” the host said after reading U.S, District Judge James E. Boasberg’s ruling on Wednesday night’s episode of “The Rachel Maddow Show.” On Wednesday, Boasberg stated he had found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt of court, warning that he could prosecute officials for not following the orders he issued back in March that directed the camp to turn planes around that were transporting deportees to a prison in El Salvador, per AP News. “You’re approaching the cliff, there’s the signs telling you you’re getting close to the edge and then you go p
