Former Miss Universe Loves Cock…atoo

This is why, if you’re in the business of selling yourself as a brand ambassador, you should always demand final approval over the work you appear in … and actually be around to approve it.

Former Miss Universe Erin McNaught is not pleased that her image on a Cockatoo Ridge Wines billboard appears next to the headline, “Shes love a cock or two… er, cockatoo.” OK, I added the middle part but just for the two people who didn’t get it at first look.

I’m 65 and I have spent most of my adult life believing I was a good friend and the last two years discovering I wasn’t, that I was attentive when I felt like it, generous when it cost me nothing, present when presence was easy, and the evidence for this revision isn’t dramatic — it’s just the quiet of my phone, the shortness of the list of people I could call in a real moment, the specific quality of a Saturday that belongs to nobody

Behavioral scientists found that people without children develop a relationship to mortality that is psychologically distinct. Without biological continuation, they must construct meaning through contribution, connection, and presence rather than lineage, and that construction is both harder and, when successful, more intentional than most people realize.

I’m 65 and my son moved back at 32 and I want to be honest that it was simultaneously one of the most loving things I’ve done and one of the hardest, not because of anything he did but because I’d spent three years learning who I was in an empty house and found that I wasn’t entirely ready to stop being her, and holding both of those things at once was more complicated than any parenting book prepared me for

I chose law school because my parents cleaned houses and I wanted them to be proud. Now I’m 38 making $300K a year and I hate every single morning, but I can’t tell anyone because complaining about a successful life you hate sounds like privilege, not pain

Behavioral scientists found that the improvement strategy with the highest long-term success rate isn’t goal-setting or habit-stacking or accountability — it’s environmental design, the practice of making the default option the one you want to choose, which removes willpower from the equation entirely

Psychology says the reason generational arguments feel so personal is that they aren’t really about economics or housing or work ethic. They’re about whether your suffering counted, and no one stays calm when someone implies the answer is no.
