Yeah, that’s right. It may sound like a wild theory, but there’s plenty to back it up. The old Kingpin actor may be back, but this new MCU Kingpin seems very different from the Netflix Kingpin. Here’s why this may actually be an entirely new character. Spoilers ahead for Hawkeye Episode 6. Kingpin’s fashion sense is new First off, this Kingpin looks different. Granted: it’s the holidaze, but this Winston Fisk is sporting a white suit…with a Hawaiian shirt underneath it....

This is the entrance to Night Eagle Wilderness summer camp, and every year, the gates open wide. Tipis, bare in the off season, are wrapped in canvas. Camp director Bruce Moreton has manned the gates for 21 years now, and welcomes campers every year who are ready to get out of the world and into the woods. Fires are lit, throwing arching shadows against the trees. This year, the campers will be able to come to Night Eagle, but the camp itself will look a little different....

Videos documenting police violence across the U.S. are no longer surprising to many people — nor is it unusual for police to open fire with small children present. There are many troubling questions such videos raise. Among them: How are children affected when they see violence against a parent, and how can they recover from the trauma of witnessing such acts? From a scientific standpoint, we’re just starting to piece together answers....

“Achieving health for all means doing what is best for health right from the beginning of people’s lives,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus explained in a news release, adding that “early childhood is a period of rapid development and a time when family lifestyle patterns can be adapted to boost health gains.” The guidelines recommend that children between the ages of two and four spend no more than one hour in front of screens each day (WHO adds “less is better”)....

Autoplay is when YouTube videos continuously keep playing (like those episodes of your kid’s favorite YouTube TV show). Under new rules, autoplay will be turned off by default for kids’ accounts and YouTube Kids. While this is a good step forward and one that is way too late, the problem for many parents is that the new rule is a very limited feature. After all, autoplay will only automatically be turned off for people logged into YouTube Kids accounts, or for people who are logged into their YouTube accounts and are under 18....

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) There is a fairly obvious reason the first sequel places last on the list: Velociraptors are mostly missing from this movie. The raptors are unsurprisingly badass and slightly terrifying in the film despite their limited presence – fucking up the InGen team of mercenaries – but the bar for this list is simply too high for this maligned sequel to land any higher. TIE: Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom If Jurassic Park III set the stage for the raptor redemption, the Jurassic World films are where they completed their transformation from villain to hero....

Until the revelatory OG 2D animation romp, things in Mary Poppins Returns are pretty dismal. All grown-up now, son Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) is afflicted by the pressures of adulthood, and the predatory plotting of Hollywood screenwriters. His wife is dead, the family’s London row house is being repossessed, and his three children, while jolly in knee-pants, are growing concerned. So descends the titular droll, supernatural nanny (Emily Blunt) from above who, as it happens, is in need of a job....

One option is to retcon, to retroactively establish continuity with a plot device that establishes that Neo and Trinity didn’t really die, countering the clear implication of the previous film. If that sounds like cheap plot manipulation, that’s because it often is. But it’s also not the only option, and Reddit user u/dinguschungus has not one but two theories that would allow Reeves and Moss to return without undercutting the previous films....

Who is Ryder? At first glance, he’s a child without a history, an inventor and engineering genius. Ruled by logic and reason, deeply individualistic, and uninterested in the opinions of the townspeople that “Yelp for Help,” Ryder controls his pack of working dogs and the town of Adventure Bay. He is, in short, a 10-year-old libertarian autocrat — the sort of boy Ayn Rand would have tried to raise if she’d been interested in that sort of thing....

Who’s In It? Several NBA stars, including Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin, have been attached to take MJ’s place in the franchise but for the better part of a decade, the overwhelming majority of Space Jam 2 rumors have been about LeBron James. This should come as no surprise, given that James is by far the biggest superstar on the planet and the best player since Jordan. And off the court, James has shown himself to be a pretty damn good actor, especially for the extremely low bar set for athletes....

So… What keeps SpongeBob relevant and popular with fans – and now the children of fans — when so many other cartoon characters and shows faded away? Fatherly recently posed that exact question to several of SpongeBob’s iconic voice stars. Here are their thoughts:Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy Cheeks) “I don’t know. Amazing writers. Writers that are big kids. I don’t know.” Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick) “It all gets back to the nature of Steve, which was to be innocent and clever simultaneously, which is really hard....

Bringing a baby into your life is exhilarating, no doubt. But as you point out, it’s also a huge drain on your pocketbook. According to a USDA study, typical American parents will spend about $12,680 a year in the kid’s first couple years of life (sadly, those costs stay fairly level throughout their childhood). I know: It’s a lot. But before you start raiding the liquor cabinet, it’s important to realize that a little bit of strategizing can sometimes dramatically lessen the damage....

According to TODAY, little Theo has sparked up quite the friendship with Benny, to the point that Benny now goes everywhere with him. Theo’s mom, Abigail Brady, says Benny is never left back at home when the family runs errands. While it can be cumbersome trying to load another body into the car, the adorable friendship seems to brighten others’ day. And, it’s important to note that the body is just bones, so it’s hard to imagine that Benny is too heavy....

Over the past year, the tides have turned when it comes to the conversation around paid family leave in the United States. Paid leave is no longer a fringe policy position or a great nice-to-have policy pipe dream for America’s progressives. For solutions on how your company can be a better place for working parents, check out Parents At Work, a joint initiative from Scary Mommy and Fatherly. As a matter of fact, the pandemic has revealed that the government can just send people money, give parents monthly allowances to help them raise their children, and provide emergency government-funded federal paid leave, even if just on a short-term basis....

But there’s no denying that the cost of gas is hitting pockets. Gas, on average, currently costs just below $5 a gallon nationwide. Heavy pressure has been placed on the administration to offer some form of relief. Biden asked Congress on Wednesday to ask to suspend the federal gas tax temporarily. The president formally made his case for a three-month federal tax holiday that would temporarily pause the tax of 18....

Despite that, business leaders around the country have reaffirmed their commitment to the development of a federal paid leave policy. With the help of Paid Leave for the United States, (PL+US) a non-profit advocacy group, the heads of companies like Spotify, Pinterest, Levi’s Patagonia, Etsy, who were vocal in their support of the Build Back Better Act, and Airbnb, Chobani, DoorDash, Dove Men+Care, Keen, and Reddit— brands new to the fight—along with hundreds of other brands and companies, issued a statement announcing their support for government action on the paid leave crisis....
