Now married to Brad Falchuk, Paltrow and Martin still spend holidays and vacations together to provide stability for their children. Rather than using words like “divorce,” “separation,” or “breakup,” Martin and the Goop founder unveiled a new term that was met with public backlash.

Lovecraft Country and HP Lovecrafts racism: how the HBO series and the novel its based on reappropriate the authors work. – Slate

Jonathan Majors and Jurnee Smollett in Lovecraft Country, and H.P. Lovecraft. Photo illustration by Slate. Photos by HBO and Lucius B. Truesdell. Just how much Lovecraft can be found in Lovecraft Country, the new HBO series based on the 2016 novel of the same title by Matt Ruff? Explicitly, not all that much, despite an opening fantasy sequence in which a monstrous, tentacled being who is very clearly Cthulhu, the most familiar (and—dare I say it?—beloved) of Lovecraft’s “elder gods,” is walloped to icky smithereens by Jackie Robinson, in a scene that surely would have driven Lovecraft himself mad with indignation. Yet “Lovecraft Country,” a label Ruff never defines but that seems to arch over the whole of the United States, fits the s...

Risk of COVID-19 for kids: “The science is constantly evolving,” doctors say – CBS News

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after falsely claiming that children are "almost immune" to the coronavirus, as schools nationwide continue to grapple with when and how to reopen. While experts generally believe that children under 10 years old are less susceptible to the coronavirus than teens or adults, there's evidence that they can still catch it. Doctors also are still learning about the ability of people under 18 to spread the virus to others who may be more vulnerable, Dr. Ron Elfenbein, an emergency care physician in Maryland, said on CBSN Thursday. "The science is constantly evolving," he said. "More data is coming out on a daily basis, so it's very confusing." About 339,000 children in the United States were reported to have the coronavirus through July 30, ma...

Facebook’s dilemma: How to police claims about unproven COVID-19 vaccines – Reuters

LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Since the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus an international health emergency in January, Facebook Inc (FB.O) has removed more than 7 million pieces of content with false claims about the virus that could pose an immediate health risk to people who believe them.

On it, Juice raps: “Devil on my shoulder tellin' me I'll die soon/ I don't really want that to impact you/ But I don't know, maybe I'm just paranoid/ I just want the best for you, I just want what's left of you.” As “SMILE” arrived, The Weeknd tweeted: “Wish we could celebrate together.” the official title is “SMILE” 🙂 — The Weeknd (@theweeknd) August 7, 2020 Juice’s Leg...
