Before jumping into the politics, it’s worth noting that prostate cancer kills many men but that breast cancer strikes many women when they are younger, meaning it almost certainly results in more years of life lost, a metric doctors use to understand that nature of afflictions at scale. Still, the relative investments in breast cancer and prostate cancer research funding are not remotely consistent. “It’s counterintuitive,” Dr. Jim C. Hu, a urologist at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Presbyterian Hospital, told Fatherly....

“Raising our kids to say please and thank you, to use mister and missus, to look someone in the eye and shake their hand, or begin and end a conversation appropriately right — these feel like old-fashioned things we teach,” says Dr. Robert Zeitlin, positive psychologist and author of Laugh More, Yell Less: A Guide to Raising Kick-Ass Kids. “But this is a way of communicating and communication is not dead....

It would seem many men pack a lot of meaning into the act of mask-wearing. “The male role is traditionally that of protector, but wearing a mask is an admission of vulnerability,” says Charles Furlotte, Assistant Professor at St. Thomas University’s School of Social Work. “Men feel they must perform masculinity, which includes showing no weakness or emotion.” COVID-19 has laid the weakness of all people in the open. As such, mask-wearing also comes down to the question of whose safety matters....

But is there any scientific evidence behind these sorts of tales? Researchers know that dogs respond to human crying and will approach people – whether their owner or a total stranger – who show signs of distress. We decided to investigate whether dogs would go a step further than just approaching people: Would they take action to help a person in need? Dog/Human Partners Come Into the Lab We recruited 34 pet dogs and therapy dogs – that is, those who visit people in hospitals and nursing homes – to take part in our study....

When you rode Splash Mountain as a kid, you probably weren’t aware it is directly modeled on The Song of the South. It is! As several prominent media critics and writers recently pointed out the pervasive existence of Splash Mountain seems to defy an explanation, especially when you consider that the ride was constructed in 1989, not 1946. More recently, in 2019, Disney outright “canceled” Song of the South and has insisted it will never re-release the movie in any way, shape, or form....

Whether you missed seeing the landing live or just want more Mars content, you’ll definitely want to check out the first high-resolution, color image of the majestic red surface of the planet. And that’s not all that you can see from the historic landing, as video of the descent is available to watch as well, which includes some truly amazing footage of the moment that Perseverance touches down on the red surface of our neighboring planet....

Newlyweds gain four to five pounds on average in their first year, but researchers have historically struggled to pinpoint clear mechanisms that explain the weight gain of the joyfully committed. “Happy couples eat healthier but weigh more. This is the finding of our study which is consistent with other previous studies but not all,” explains Stephanie Schoeppe, Ph.D., a Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Central Queensland University, who recently released what might be the most authoritative study on weight gain in relationships....

The associate artistic director of Streb, Cassandre Joseph, reminds us that parents’ fears usually outweigh the fears of their children. At Streb, they try to find a balance between the caution of parents with the general fearlessness of their kids. They encourage parents to let go of their paternal fears just a little while also teaching children to hone in more on safety. Some of the classes involve parental participation, so they are able to get on the mats and see their kids in action for themselves....

The show follows the eponymous Ada, age 8. She’s a self-proclaimed scientist eager to crack life’s mysteries alongside her two besties Rosie Revere and Iggy Peck. The show’s first look introduces us to Ada in a Ferris Bueller-style voice-over as a shower of bananas appears seconds about from pummelling her. “You’re probably wondering what’s happening right now,” she says dryly. It’s a fun introduction to a fun show. From Higher Ground Productions, the Obama-helmed company, the show is all about making scientific discovery accessible to kids through stories where friendship and teamwork are central....

In this exclusive clip for Fatherly (watch above!), Arlo presents himself to who he thinks will become his new human father. For those of us wishing for a bygone era of more simple animation, the visual style of Arlo is fantastic....

There were reasons for Bruce Banner’s issues. The opening scene Infinity War, which begins just moments after Thor: Ragnarok ended, sees Thanos and his henchman wreaking havoc on the ship that contains Thor, Loki, Banner, and the rest of the Agardian refugees. Thanos is looking for an infinity stone. Loki, who secretly swiped it, offers it to Thanos before jumping out and explaining “we have a Hulk,” before the big green galoot comes beserking through and pummels the Titan....

That Whole Gamora Thing With the Soul Stone Is Explained In the theatrical cut of the movie, you might have been confused about why Gamora knew where the soul stone was, and why she got her adopted sister Nebula to lie about it. In one deleted scene, called “A Father’s Choice,” Thanos and Gamora take a trip down memory lane where Thanos explains specifically why he selected her to find the Soul Stone....

Blippi, whose real name is Stevin John, started his YouTube channel in 2013 after leaving the Air Force and working as a marketing consultant for a brief time.

However, there’s also another episode of Bluey that’s been banned in the U.S., and nobody even noticed… Which episode of Bluey was banned from appearing on Disney? The show is licensed to air in the U.S. through Disney, and according to TVLine, an episode of Bluey from Season 3 titled Family Meeting was banned from the platform because it did not meet the “broadcast standards and practices” for Disney Junior....

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is coming out with some new episodes to start our new year off on the best foot. One caught our eye because it’s a nod to the classic episode we still recall watching as a kid when Mister Rogers took us on a little field trip to a crayon factory. In the episode, which originally aired back in 1981, Mister Rogers visited a crayon factory, and for many of us, this was the coolest episode ever....

James Bond’s enduring popularity is not connected to how cool he is but instead how much we laugh at him. And the easiest way to laugh at Bond isn’t just by noticing how out of touch he is, but instead, admiring his dad-joke-worthy puns. Here are the seven best 007 puns —- so good they’ll make you snort and wonder why you don’t drink martinis more often. 7. The World Is Not Enough “I thought Christmas only came once a year…” In order to understand this joke, you have to know two things: First, this is not Pierce Brosnan’s best Bond film....

We’re talking about The Mummy, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and the guy who is probably most famous for being parodied by the Count on Sesame Street: Dracula. So, what’s the deal? Should you let your kids watch these cheesy old black-and-white movies around Halloween? The answer is an emphatic “yes.” If the kiddos are under five, use your best judgment; but if they’re older than six and want to explore the OG Universal Monsters, they have one huge parenting benefit going for them: these movies are largely bloodless....

In Disney+ behind-the-scenes documentary feature Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian, Rodriguez gets into the details on how he made sure this scene would come out the way his inner-child expected it would. After pointing out that he wanted Fett’s fighting style to be in contrast with Mando’s, Rodriguez says the way he visualized this was to have his young sons play-out Boba Fett’s comeback in his backyard. “To illustrate what I was talking about, I took my Boba Fett and Stormtrooper Halloween costumes, and put them on my sons, and went to the backyard and filmed Boba’s arrival....

Here’s the deal. Baby Yoda is not Yoda and the guy who runs The Mandalorian just made that pretty clear. Jon Favreau (you know, the guy who made Iron Man) has been doing a pretty solid job steering The Mandalorian ship thus far, and recently he’s answered a few questions about why everyone loves “Baby Yoda” so much. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Favreau made it pretty clear, just in case you were confused, that this little creature is not the Yoda....
