Inside 95 Years of Glamorous Parties at NYC’s The Pierre, A Taj Hotel
Karl Lagerfeld once said that he measured distances in New York by how far they were from the legendary Hotel Pierre (now 'The Pierre, a Taj Hotel'). For 95 years, that ballroom therein has been the epicenter of glamorous New York life. It was a haven first to New York blue-bloods, then old Hollywood celebrities and then the fashionable jet set. Under its chandeliers, everyone from Audrey Hepburn to Valentino danced the night away, or, at least, stood in the corner drinking martinis.

With flags waving and sunshine overhead, residents packed downtown Bonners Ferry on Monday to watch the Memorial Day parade and pay tribute to America’s fallen heroes.

McArthur Lake project in the home stretch

Stay in Your Magic, Keep in Your Power an Excerpt from “Happy Witch” by Mandi Em
Magic can help you feel powerful, but there can be a big difference between the way you feel post-ritual and the way you feel as you’re going through your mundane life. The feeling of connectedness and otherworldly magic can get lost in the shuffle sometimes when the day-to-day chaos starts piling up, leaving you feeling zapped and depleted. No more! Cultivating a magical life can be the antidote to feeling pressed by the mundane and disconnected from your power.

Pete Davidson is now dating Emily Ratajowski. Growing up, the supermodel used to pray that God would make her “the most beautiful” woman. She’s not the first pre-teen girl to plead to the Almighty for that blessing, but in her case, it actually worked. Of course, Ratajkowski is far from the first gorgeous, accomplished woman Davidson has dated. He recently broke up with Kim Kardashian. Before her, Davidson dated Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor and Ariana Grande.
Elon Musk’s $8 blue checkmark verification fee makes Twitter worthless Original
What makes Twitter different from the other social media platforms is that you can talk directly to famous people. They might even reply. You can have a conversation with people who, a generation ago, you would have only read about in newspapers. Sure, you can yell about Alexandira Ocasio-Cortez or Ted Cruz on Facebook. But you’re just going to be yelling to your uncle and five friends from high school. If you want to yell at famous people, you have to go to Twitter.

Young fans outraged by ‘cheating stars’ like Adam Levine are clueless Original
I regret to inform you that Ned Fulmer, of the popular YouTube series “The Try Guys,” cheated on his wife. The performer was seen kissing a producer on the show, despite being married, and indeed, having talked enthusiastically about his marriage on the show. If your reaction is, “Huh, OK, I don’t know him,” that seems pretty sensible. The Internet did not respond sensibly.
Kanye West’s Donda Academy is another clueless billionaire’s vanity project Original
Kanye West has started an unaccredited private Christian prep school for students K-8 called the Donda Academy after his mother. Needless to say, the musician/fashion designer/professional eccentric has absolutely zero background in education. He famously dropped out of college — his first album was titled “The College Dropout” — and by his own admission he does not even read. On the “Alo Mind Full” podcast he remarked, “I actually haven’t read any book.

An update of systemic analgesics in children
Abstract Effective and safe pain management in children can be complex and challenging. It remains an important goal in order to minimize acute distress, behavioural changes, central sensitization and hyperalgesia. Neonates may be susceptible to long-term neurodevelopmental changes due to the neuroplasticity of their immature brains, and adequate analgesia may help ameliorate these changes.
‘And Just Like That’ took joy out of sex — please don’t give us season 2
As “And Just Like That,” the dour “Sex and the City” sequel, comes mercifully to an end this week, there are already rumors swirling that there will be a second season because the cast and crew want to “prove a point.” Show star Sarah Jessica Parker recently said “there’s momentum” for another season. On behalf of those of us who loved “Sex and the City” — please don’t. Let us cling to the happy memories of the series we still have left.
Why Gen Z thinks they’re the unluckiest generation in history
It’s the prerogative of every generation to think they’re living in uniquely unfortunate times. But members of Gen Z really think they got a raw deal. That’s the premise of “Fight: How Gen Z is Channeling Their Fear and Passion to Save America” (St. Martin’s Press), out now. Born between roughly 1996 and 2012, the oldest members of Gen Z are now 26.
Hey Gen Z, Madonna has every right to be sexy on Instagram at age 63
Madonna is naked again. On Instagram, the 63-year-old singer posted semi-nude photos of herself reclining on a bed topless, her very toned rear clad in fishnets. There’s nothing new or surprising about this. Madonna has been sharing nude photos of herself since the publication of her 1992 book, “Sex,” which featured images of sexual fantasy ranging from BDSM to threesomes. And once again, people are outraged. There’s nothing new about that, either.

FOMO Culture Is Back In Full Force Despite The Fact That We're *Still* In A Pandemic
(Opinion) FOMO culture is back in full force. By Jennifer Wright Shutterstock Americans spent 2020 talking about what we’d do “when COVID was over.” We spent a year making sourdough bread (an activity that was more fun in theory than in practice) while thinking about what it would be like to go to concerts. Or movies. Or to be able to leave the country once again. And now, it seems, the pandemic is over — if, again, more in theory than practice.

Light a Fire Under Your Own Ass: The Magic of Motivation - An Excerpt from ‘Witchcraft Therapy’ by Mandi Em
Motivation is a funny thing: It seems like when you need it the most, it’s not there for you to draw from. Many of us struggle with motivation in various areas of life, a problem that, when left unchecked, can suck us down even further into a lazy hole of “I don’t wanna!” There’s also a special relationship between depression and motivation that can leave high hopes feeling like a neglected third wheel. Depression can make even the simplest tasks, like getting out of bed, a monumental challenge.

Scotland Is The First Country To Offer Free Tampons & Pads — And I Have Thoughts
In a revolutionary (and long overdue) move, Scotland just became the first country to make tampons and sanitary pads free in public facilities. That means that they’ll be available at schools, universities, libraries, and public rec centers. If that sounds like a shocking victory for women and other menstruating individuals — and it is — it’s even more shocking that the bill passed unanimously.
The Most Disturbing Romantic Comedy is 13 Going on 30
In an age where real life romance seems to consist of taking off a face mask to kiss, let us take a moment to remember the hands down most misleading and at times outright disturbing romantic comedy of the past decades, 13 Going on 30. The premise of the film is just a gender swapped version of Big.
Stanley Tucci Is The Romantic Hero We Deserve
We live in a golden age of male romantic heroes. There’s Ansel Elgort. There are three different blonde, extremely well muscled Chrises. Timothee Chalamet is also there, and attractive to a wide variety of women who pronounce his name in a wide variety of ways. Michael B. Jordan played a character literally named Adonis, and that was appropriate. But if I may suggest a different romantic movie hero that everyone is sleeping on, and sadly, not considering sleeping with — Stanley Tucci.
Thread by @JenAshleyWright on Thread Reader App
We’ve now all heard the allegations about unwanted hysterectomies being performed on women in detention camps. A lot of people are skeptical because of some sense that “this is not who we are.” Unfortunately, a country that sterilizes “undesirables” is EXACTLY what America is. America’s love affair with eugenics dates back to the early 1900s.
Aaron Coleman Apology Is Not Enough For Female Victims
Photo: Sarah Rice/Getty Images. When 19-year-old Aaron Coleman, a community college student and dishwasher, won the Democratic primary for a seat in the Kansas Legislature by 14 votes, people initially marveled at how remarkable it was that he'd done so by defeating a seven-term incumbent. Soon, though, the astonishment turned to dismay as it was revealed that Coleman had also come a long way from just seven years ago, when he blackmailed one of his classmates, in an instance of revenge porn.
Aaron Coleman Is Proof That Cancel Culture Is A Myth
PORTLAND, ME – SEPTEMBER 28: Rachel McDonald, of Portland, holds up her sign during a protest across the street from Sen. Susan Collins’ office to urge Sen.
