Right now, the veteran comedic actor is starring in the new sitcom The Neighborhood, Roger in The Ice Age franchise, appearing in the new Series of Unfortunate Events, and starring in the recently released Promising Young Woman. He’s also a busy, married dad-of-two with wife and casting director Tess Sanchez, and, since the pandemic hit, like most American parents, has been out of work. So, it naturally fell on him to oversee remote learning for his 10-year-old daughter, Lily....

According to Garrett Munce, a writer for Esquire, men sporting manicures, complete with colored polish, is happening now, and it seems to be a slow, steady organic type of trend. He describes in his article being at a party, himself with painted black nails, and seeing other men with “a little something extra on [their] nails.” And he’s spotted several other menicures while going about his daily life. Elle spoke to Mei Kawahiri, founder of Nails by Mei, who says the menicure, “all started with Demna Gvasalia at the Balenciaga show a few years ago,” and several high-profile celebrity guys, including Harry Styles, Asap Rocky, and Pete Davidson, have been seen with their nails painted since....

Some experts think it could even reveal something like 1,000 shooting stars an hour if it performs. Here’s what to know about the meteor shower, and how and when you should expect to see it. What will make tonight be a dazzling shower — or “storm”? Per Earthsky, for this meteor “storm” to totally wow us tonight, three things need to happen: 1) a large number of comet particles must have “been expelled from the comet’s orbit” during one of the times it shattered, 2) the comet breakup “would have had to push the material forward in its orbit,” making them speed up, and 3) the comet must eject material fast enough — at least 60 miles per hour — to be a decent storm....

Chabon, a father of four, is most famous for his Pulitzer-Prize winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, but he never rested on his literary laurels. These days, he’s writing for the Star Trek franchise, and his first foray is a self-contained short episode called “Calypso”; part of a mini-anthology series called Short Treks, which just debuted this week on CBS All-Access. The main character in this story is a father stranded on a starship, contemplating the meaning of existence....

Even among the classic NBA beefs — Bird vs. Magic, Russell vs. Wilt, Ron Artest vs. the dude who chucked a soda at him — the rivalry between Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan in the early ’90s was particularly heated. Thomas’s “Bad Boys” Pistons beat the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals in ’88, ’89, and ’90, winning NBA titles the last two times, a dynasty in the making. The teams met in the same series the following year, but this time the Bulls were victorious....

The Nanit Plus, a follow up to the original Nanit, is a small, square camera that’s made to be placed above a crib, aiming directly down for an overhead view. It’s well designed and unobtrusive, mounting as simply as a shelf. It’s equipped with a wide-angle lens that streams 1280×960 resolution to your phone or tablet 24/7. It also boasts two-way audio, a soft-glow nightlight, sound- and motion-detectors, and, thanks to an array of infrared LEDs, crisp, clean night vision....

RELATED: This Remote-Controlled Bomb Can Take Out An Entire Room Set to hit stores this summer for kids ages 5-and-up, Nerf’s new Nitro blaster is as much a spring-loaded gun as it is a tabletop launcher designed to hurl toy cars across the floor at high speeds. They load, cock, and fire just like every other Nerf gun you’ve ever shot — the only difference is a safety mechanism that prevents them from discharging unless sitting on a flat surface....

Davis, who plays the titular dwarf, tried to connect with his millennial and Gen Z co-stars about their experiences with watching Willow but instead got Okay Boomer’d in the most hilarious way possible. Amer Chadha-Patel had no idea the show was a sequel to a movie and when he discovered it was directed by Ron Howard, he only recognized the name due to Arrested Development. He then asked Ellie Bamber about her experience of watching the original Willow in theaters for the first time and she politely informed him that she had not been born yet (the film was released in 1988)....

According to the press release, “Each episode is approximately two hours in length.” To put this in perspective, the 1995 TV documentary The Beatles: Anthology was about 12 hours total, and that covered, in theory, the entire history of the band through the break-up in 1969. But, Get Back is ONLY about the recording of the album Let It Be, which, was recorded before Abbey Road, but eventually released later, making it, in some ways the “last” Beatles album....

RELATED: The Best Retro Game Consoles A follow-up to the much sought-after NES Classic, the SNES Classic will be a shrunk down version of the beloved gaming console. It will include two controllers and, best of all, come pre-loaded with 21 oh-man-remember-that? games, including Mega Man, Star Fox, A Link to the Past, Street Fighter II, and Yoshi’s Island. The console will also come with the never-before-released Star Fox 2, a sequel to the game that launched the career of one of Super Smash Bros....

And while there’s plenty of debate as to whether or not mowing lawns is actually fun, there’s an initiative that sidesteps the question altogether, and asks regular people to keep the lawnmower in the garage for an extra month for “No Mow May.” It’s not just for people who want to sleep in on the weekends – it’s also for people who want to give the bees, a helping hand....

Inflation rates are at an all-time high right now on many essential items which have skyrocketed in price as a result. Our rent is higher, gas prices have soared, and even affording a carton of milk and a loaf of bread has added stress to our bank accounts. This reality has prompted Old Navy to bring some assurance to the parents for back-to-school time with a new “Price ON-Lock” initiative....

Paige is a 6-year-old Australian who doesn’t look like the typical skateboarding fanatic. In one of her recent videos that have gone viral, she’s decked out in a pink tulle party dress, rainbow-striped socks, and a leopard-print helmet. Certainly not the typical attire of a skateboarder about to drop into a 12-foot bowl. But she is, and she makes it look so effortless. In her recent viral video, the young lady fearlessly stands at the top of the 12-foot drop....

Upon being reunited with their toddler-aged children, some parents have reported that their toddler-aged children are confused and don’t remember them. “He didn’t recognize me,” Mice Alba Lopez said, referring to her three-year-old son to The New York Times. Other parents told the Times that their children believe that the other children with whom they were detained — in cages — were their siblings. Some became very distraught when they were separated from the kids who they had been locked up with for months....

READ MORE: The Fatherly Guide to Parental and Paternity Leave While he had made friends after moving, none were new dads. What’s more, support groups for parents, he says, were designated “mommy and me” and, while not outright hostile to fathers, didn’t seem very inviting either. As he pushed his son’s stroller over a paved path in the park, a familiar sight came into focus. Heading in his direction was another dad, son shaded in a carriage....

In the Ask Reddit subsection of the site, Reddit user blazed_toucan posed the 18+ question “What fucked up thing did you do as a kid?” and the answers are definitely NSFW and well, pretty crazy. The first response starts pretty innocently and sounds like something a middle school child would do and then never be able to forget. I’m sure we’ve got someone in our own friend circle who went to a similar length to try and not die of embarrassment....

Apparently, according to Coombs, during an online lesson, he got so frustrated while struggling to keep up with distance learning that he put his head down, cried, and wiped his tears using his t-shirt. The mom took a photo of the moment, just before her son came over for a hug and a good cry. “I just took that picture because I wanted people to see reality,” she told a local news station, WXIA....

RELATED: The Best Digital Cameras The Polaroid Snap is a combination of old and new: a 10-megapixel standalone camera (no, really, that’s all it does) that saves a digital copy to an SD card and also prints your photo instantly … on actual paper. The resulting 2″ by 3″ pictures are rendered in less than a minute on inkless “ZINK Paper” through a fancy process of layering and heating colored dye crystals, the effectiveness of which you’ll surely undermine by flopping your photos around to make them develop quicker....

We got a demo of the Baby Yoda toy at Toy Fair, which is where distributors big and small showcase all their merch. And of all the piles of toys we saw, this, for sure, was one of the standouts. It’s meant for kids 4 and up (but seriously, it’s meant for you, the parents). When Baby Yoda aka The Child is not doing cute and charming things like wiggling his ears or waving his hand to use force power, he naps....

Effective Discipline Isn’t Just About Punishment According to Christi Campbell, a board-certified behavior analyst, getting a kid to react remorsefully to a harsh punishment isn’t what’s needed at all. “When a child doesn’t seem to care about discipline, it means there is a mismatch between the reason the child is being punished and the punishment that was given,” says Campbell. “Often, parents think that isolating the child by sending them to their room will be effective....
