Robert Pattinson to Tom Holland in Christopher Nolan’s ‘THE ODYSSEY’: “You’re pining for a daddy you didn’t even know.”

Sarah Paulson wears dollar bill over her eyes to call out the ‘One Percent.’ The actress, who is worth an estimated $12 million, used her outfit to call out the world’s elite while attending the $100,000 per person Met Gala.

As a society… at what point are we going to say enough is enough 😔

Jorge Rodríguez a los venezolanos: “Supéralo, perdónanos y vente”. Este video solo puede usarse para humor.

I repeat if you need religion to have morals you’re a bad person.

am i wrong if i say that the last showgirl made her a lesser songwriter

John Lithgow, cast as Dumbledore in HBO's Harry Potter, on whether he considered quitting over JK Rowling: After a close friend told him about an open letter urging him to resign, Lithgow called it "the canary in the coal mine," then was asked directly if he would leave the role. His answer: "Oh, heavens no." Why does the cast feel the need to comment on this?

Michael Jackson used his own sperm cell to give birth to his first two children and then a surrogate mother with his own sperm for his last child Blanket. Her mother was black even though Blanket is light. So why do people still doubt their Paternity?😳

Germany offers one year paid parental leave, 2 years unpaid, almost fully subsidized daycare, 260 per month per child etc. and this has done nothing for the birth rate. All these policies are USELESS. Having children is a cultural issue.

You check your Apple Watch in the morning. Sleep score: 62. You decide it's going to be a foggy day. And then it is. A 2014 Colorado College study suggests the score itself causes the fog. 164 people walked into a lab. Researchers hooked them up to fake EEG equipment and told them the readout would show their REM percentage from the night before. Then they fabricated a number. Half the room was told 28.7%. Half was told 16.2%. The machine wasn't measuring anything. Participants took four cognitive tests. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, where you add numbers spoken at increasing speed and hold your last sum in working memory while computing the next. And the Controlled Oral Word Association Task, where you generate as many words as you can starting with a single letter under time pressure. Both are gold-standard measures of attention and executive function used in clinical neurology. The 28.7% group outperformed the 16.2% group on both. Significantly. How rested participants actually felt that morning predicted nothing. The mechanism is mindset priming an executive resource. When you believe you slept well, you allocate cognitive effort more aggressively. You don't conserve. You don't pre-disengage. Belief about the resource changes how you spend it. Two control conditions ruled out demand characteristics. Participants weren't trying harder because they thought they should. Real measurable cognitive performance shifted with the number on the readout. The Apple Watch sleep score. The Oura ring readiness number. The morning ritual of checking either one is taxing the resource you're about to need. The performance gap from a fabricated REM percentage was larger than the gap from how rested participants actually felt. The number was louder than the night.
