Kate Winslet says plastic surgery in Hollywood is "devastating" “If a person’s self-esteem is so bound up in how they look, it’s frightening. And it’s puzzling because I have moments when I think it’s better, when I look at actresses at events dressed how they want, whichever shape. But then so many people are on weight-loss drugs. It’s so varied. Some are making choices to be themselves, others do everything they can to not be themselves. And do they know what they are putting in [their bodies]? The disregard for one’s health is terrifying. It bothers me now more than ever. It is f*cking chaos out there," Winslet told The Sunday Times. “My favorite thing is when your hands get old. That’s life, in your hands. Some of the most beautiful women I know are over 70, and what upsets me is that young women have no concept of what being beautiful actually is.” Read more here: variety.com/2025/film/news…

I’ve talked about it before but they used to show amazing stuff like this on random cable channels at like 7am. I distinctly remember seeing Jason and the Argonauts on a Saturday morning when I was like 10. I do think it sucks that you can’t discover stuff like that anymore





A very practical concern for young people is finding a spouse. I am trying to help by hosting events for singles at my parish. The last event I hosted, we had FIVE marriages come out of it! But like last time, I have to scratch and claw to get men to sign up! Right now: 50 women registered, 18 men, and 10 more women on the waitlist. I hear men constantly complaining they can't find good Catholic women. Well, here's an event with Mass, bar trivia, and drinks. And the women are actually showing up! So, what's the deal? Why are men so hesitant to sign up for these events? Genuinely asking.
