Vincent Canby of the New York Times filed a negative review, declaring the film uninteresting and “without charm,” while Rex Reed of the New York Post not only took issue with the film’s price tag(“It seems almost obscene to spend $26 million on a movie for children”) but also its characters and tone (“the monsters and bizarre creatures…are so horrifying they just might give impressionable tots nightmares for days.”) But perhaps the most sardonic — and telling — review came from Richard Corliss of Time....

According to The Hill, the latest data from the Labor Department shows that inflation is still a considerable concern. “Apart from declining prices at the gas pumps, consumer prices for everything from food and rent to furniture, medical care, and new cars got pricier last month,” the publication notes. However, a few grocery staples have spiked in price when looking at the year-over-year data. The statistics show that the food at home index rose 13....

READ MORE: The Fatherly Guide to Baby Names Bali: Where Birth Order Matters These Indonesians have a pretty laid-back attitude when it comes to naming. Birth order determines the name of many babies. Firstborns will usually be either Wayan, Putu, Gede or Nengah. The second born will score Made, or Kadek. The third will be Nyoman or Komang, and the fourth will just be Ketut. The rareness of these names increases accordingly....

This shouldn’t be surprising. For years, there have been warnings about the addictive and deleterious effects of social media (Let’s not forget the 2018 study by Harvard researchers that showed how posting about yourself on platforms triggers the same part of the brain that lights up during addiction.) These additional findings are simply kindling for the already roaring fire. Would scrubbing your Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other accounts be in your best interest?...

The widespread overuse of mobile devices — and the phubbing it leads to — gave rise to a cottage industry of, well, phone apps designed to help people limit their smartphone usage. The irony of this is not lost. We’ve even reached a point where Apple and Google, the makers of the dominant smartphone operating systems, are including such features in the default versions of those operating systems. The jury is still out on the efficacy of these apps, but if you’ve found yourself spending too much time on your phone they’re worth a shot....

Dear Cooper, I remember the moment it truly hit me that your autism was forever. And not just a word. Or a thing that other people’s kids had. It wasn’t when your mom told me that something seemed off. Or when she did the checklists late at night. I remember I got so mad at her. I defended you. I listened to her say things like nonverbal and delayed and I refused to believe that was you....

It is clear talking to Kohler that Maria was hired to do a job and subsequently, probably predictably, became an institution of a sort, providing support for both kids and parents. He knows that employing Maria is a privilege, but he wants to make the arrangement work for her as well. “Maria loves our kids and sends remittances home,” Kohler adds. ” It’s a virtuous circle. I can’t imagine doing it any other way....

Here’s the deal: According to TMZ, the Breaking Bad alum filed paperwork in November seeking a name change for himself and his son, who was born in April. At the same time, Aaron’s wife, Lauren Paul, also petitioned the court for a legal name change for herself. It turns out that Aaron Paul’s real last name was Sturtevant — and his last name that we know him as, Paul, was a stage name....

Maybe it was worth it. For superheroes at that time — not just Superman and Batman, but also the Avengers, the X-Men and weird ones like The Maxx and Spawn — were the manna to an unhappy childhood. It wasn’t that these characters were carefree or cheery. Perhaps they weren’t even good. (According to the Internet, comics in the 1990s were terrible.) But they were all I knew and, more importantly, they were made for me and my cohort....

Technology has advanced impressively since digital photo frames’ advent in the early aughts: The frames are much better-looking, and it’s much easier to upload hundreds of hi-res photos to a single frame. And perhaps most importantly, companies have become more transparent and secure with their tech to ensure that your private moments are kept safe. Here are the prettiest, and most user-friendly, frames we found. Every product on Fatherly is independently selected by our editors, writers, and experts....

During the early years of life, emotionally nourishing father-child relationships lay the foundation for lifelong health and well-being for children. Fathers who are involved during pregnancy also tend to stay involved over the long term. Indeed, the positive influence of father involvement can be felt throughout adolescence and young adulthood. Our research lab studies father-child relationships, and we recently looked at the question: What early parent education programs are out there to support fathers during the prenatal and postnatal periods?...

The Hillards were not fabulously wealthy. Movies about the truly rich tend to be a bit more tragic in the traditional sense. That’s a different genre. The Hillards were upper middle class and, as such, belonged to what was then an emerging class of dual-income families inclined to discord. Did American moviegoers explicitly understand this? Almost certainly not. It’s easy, after all, to leap to the conclusion that poor and struggling families would be the most conflict-prone....

The companies vary in sector. Foremost Maritime, a business owned by Elaine Chao, the wife of Mitch McConnell and Transportation Secretary, received a loan between $350,000 and $1 million. Kasowitz Benson Torres, for example, a law firm founded by a long-time Trump personal attorney, received between $5 and $10 million. Major restaurant chains like PF Changs and the M Crowd Restaurant group got millions. Private schools and Wall Street firms got bailed out, too....

And on Tuesday, April 6th, the Arkansas legislature overrode a veto by Governor Asa Hutchinson in order to pass legislation that explicitly prohibits doctors from helping transgender kids access gender-affirming medical care after the Governor rejected it on terms that it was an overreach of the state’s hands in the lives of individuals and their doctors. As such, Arkansas has become the first state to explicitly ban gender-affirming care in the state....
