This is the movie’s overstated opening, and its uncertain tone–pitched sloppily between farce and nightmare– doesn’t bode well for what is to come. Director Betty Thomas and writer Susannah Grant (“Erin Brockovich”) want to rehabilitate the overly familiar rehab drama (“Clean and Sober,” “When a Man Loves a Woman”) by injecting it with a streak of gallows humor. It’s a good idea in theory, but it requires more than synthetic sitcom humor....
The Honey House is not the first of its kind, though most other influencer houses like Hype House, Clubhouse BH, and the new GOAT House in Ireland, are generally made up of influencers in their teens or early twenties. TikTok and YouTube content creators move into these houses to collaborate with one another and gain followers and likes by benefiting from each other’s followings. They tend to churn out content and make money from promotional posts and videos on social media....

Interested parties who visit the website, supporthuman.org, are greeted by lighthearted cartoons and instructions for getting started, as well as a handy definition for the concept. “Emotional Support Human: noun,” the site description reads. “An individual of the human (homo sapien) species who is committed to helping other people dealing with emotional and mental health challenges… formal training is not required....
We felt the need for both renewal and adventure, vacation experiences that at first glance seem a little at odds with one another. How do you find solace in an ever-changing environment? How can you max out on fun without maxing out your psyche? For me, the balance wasn’t so obvious when, in January, I set out with Steven on a seven-month, cross-country road trip to visit all 61 National Parks in the United States....
Novikoff hit a walk-off homer for the Seattle Rainiers on June 22, 1947, and ended his home run trot with flair.

Tommy doesn’t have far to go anyway. Just to his thatched hut on the grounds of Lion Park, a sanctuary for “big cats” a half-hour drive west of Zimbabwe’s capital city. Then out into the sun, where mothers bring their children to gawk at his size and his lumbering vigor. Southern Africa is a nice place for an herbivore to rest in his declining years. Tourists feed him shredded lettuce and cabbage, and he can count on fruit and grass coming before long....
Maybe you have to be a fan of both to enjoy it. If you're not, you should be. (Note: the first terrorist Jean Claude Van-Damme kills was not wearing a Penguin uniform. She was wearing a Penguin suit.)
In truth, despite talk of the PS4 and Xbox One being easy to develop for compared to PCs - and certainly easier to port titles over - there is no PC version of Destiny in development. At least not yet. Bungie senior writer and head of community, Mark Osborne, wouldn’t confirm or deny, only explaining that “the more platforms [they] take on, the more work it ultimately becomes, and what [they] don’t want is to compromise the core experience on any platforms....

Premonition tells the story of Linda Hanson, a wife and mother who learns that her husband has passed away. But as she searches for answers to the strange things that are happening, audiences can’t quite buy the entire thing. This Sandra Bullock thriller is laughably bad and doesn’t make any sense.

Every month, staff at the Harris County jail will pass out two-dose kits of naloxone to more than 100 at-risk inmates as they head home, according to the Chronicle, in an effort to slow fatal overdoses in the state. Jails in Chicago, Pittsburgh and New York City have been dolling the drug out to departing inmates for a few years now in an effort to protect them from overdoses during a vulnerable period–reentry into society–but also equip them to save friends and family who struggle with opioid misuse....

An overwhelming 90 percent of the House voted in favor of the bill, 396 ayes against 27 nays. All Republicans voted in favor—the 27 votes against the bill were all from Democrats. The Supreme Court Police Parity Act, now heading for President Joe Biden’s desk, was unanimously passed by the Senate more than a month ago, but it languished in the House until Tuesday, as Democrats attempted to broaden the legislation to include protection for families of court employees as well as the justices....
The reality is that we are not even certain that there has been a significant increase in the number of people with autism. All we know is that, when the diagnostic criteria expanded, so did the number of people who qualified for diagnosis. And as awareness expanded, so did the number of diagnoses. Does that mean that more people are actually autistic now than 20 or 30 years ago? The answer is a qualified “maybe....
Outforia, an outdoor resource site based in Norway, looked at the relationship between certain parts of the U.S. and fatal animal attacks, as well as which animals were most dangerous. To find some answers, Outforia examined the number of deaths caused by different animals in North America over the past 50 years. From there, it was able to deduce which animals were “most deadly.” The No. 1 most dangerous animal, Outforia found, is the brown bear, which has killed 70 people in North America since 1970....
Officials in 34 states will not accept ballots that arrive in the mail after Election Day—even if they are postmarked before the contest is held, a report from the National Conference of State Legislatures showed. Sixteen states and Washington D.C. will still count the vote if the ballot arrives after the fact, but the time frame varies from state to state. Alaska, for example, will accept a ballot for up to 10 days post-race as long as it’s postmarked on or before Election Day....
In just a few years, a ghastly trauma of childhood has been turned into an all-purpose literary ingredient, the Cool Whip of serious fiction. Editors and agents who track new fiction are encountering incest everywhere they look. “I cannot deal with it anymore,” says a magazine book-review editor. “I’m not shocked by it, I’m bored, It’s not a riveting plot device. There’s something opportunistic about it.” The heroine of Dani Shapiro’s 1990 “Playing with Fire” falls in love with her college roommate’s stepfather, Ben, who has been sleeping with the roommate; Ben takes up with the heroine as well....
