Comer Predicts Who Joe Biden Will Next And Weighs In The Timing Of Hunter’s Pardon [WATCH]

On December 10, Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas set sail on the Ultimate World Cruise—a 274-day global trek that visits 11 world wonders and over 60 countries. This incredible trip covers the Americas, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Mediterranean and Europe with a ticket price that ranges from $53,999 to $117,599 per passenger.Aboard the Serenade to the Seas is popular TikToker Marc Sebastian, who has been sharing his experience on the platform. In a recent video with over 4.3 million views, he revealed what he’s learned over his first few weeks aboard the ship; the biggest was the one word you’re not allowed to say: Titanic.“Who knew that? I didn’t,” Sebastian said. “I brought it up to an entire room of people having lunch that our ship is only 100 feet longer than the Titanic — when I tell you that utensils dropped. Waiters gasped. It’s dead silent.” @marcsebastianf someone get whoopi on the line girl i have some goss for her #ultimateworldcruise #worldcruise #serenadeoftheseas #cruisetok #cruise #9monthcruise #titanic After the unexpected reaction, his cruise friend told him, “You’re not allowed to talk about the Titanic.” It makes sense. Who wants to be reminded of the tragedy that killed around 1,500 people while sinking one of the most impressive engineering feats of the era? "When I went on a cruise, my mom told me saying Titanic was equivalent to screaming ‘bomb’ at an airport," Mikayla wrote in the comments.Later in the video, Sebastian admits he was surprised to learn that cruise ships have godmothers and that the pools are filled with seawater.This article originally appeared in January.

Though motherhood has long involved the intangible, yet nonetheless taxing responsibilities of managing a household, we’ve only had the term “invisible labor” to actually define this experience for thirty some odd years. And if the conversation of invisible labor is still fairly new in the world of adults, how can they teach kids to be cognizant of it?Sam Kelly, therapist and mom of three, has a pretty cool solution to this, and it starts by tweaking the traditional chore list. On her Threads account, Kelly explained that she has ongoing conversations about invisible labor with her 6, 10, and 12-year-old, where she teaches them that “that the very first step in anything getting done around the house (including chores) is NOTICING that something needs to get done and then doing it.”It’s through these conversations that Kelly realized the chores charts that most parents use miss this “crucial step,” which only “defaults that emotional labor onto me, their mom/the woman, to carry the load of knowing what needs to get done and then doing the work of assigning tasks.”So, instead of chores, Kelly’s family participates in an activity she calls their “Notice and Do’s.”“I’m teaching my kids how to first notice what needs to be done around the house and then take the initiative to actually do it on their own,” she writes, with the end goal being for them to eventually participate in “shouldering the mental load (in age-appropriate ways)” without needing instructions from mom. Post by @samkelly_world View on Threads Long term, Kelly hopes that her kids will not only be more aware of invisible labor that happens every day, but also “have developed the proactive, self-motivational skills to take responsibility for doing it themselves.”In creating her “Notice and Do” lists, Kelly has also made sure to address—and dispel— inherent gender norms, in both teaching her daughter that it is not solely a woman’s job, and teaching her son to take an equal amount of responsibility. “This might seem like a crazy fantasy pipe dream. I get it,” she writes. “But slowly, over time…it’s working.”All in all, other adults seemed to love this approach.“Those are all great executive functioning skills of planning, organization, perception, attention, working memory and initiation at work. Well done!????,” one person wrote. “I love this. It really TEACHES instead of just bossing them around. Goes a long way,” another added.” Kelly’s “Notice and Do” list obviously isn’t a fix-all, but the fact that it’s creating awareness around labor which so often goes unnoticed is such a game changer. Think about how different our society might be if this mindset skill was as commonly taught as the alphabet or time tables.Thankfully, Kelly did make it easy to teach kids with a free guide, which you can check out here.

Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran was found not liable on April 4 in a lawsuit where he was accused of stealing elements of the Marvin Gaye classic "Let's Get It On" for his 2014 hit, “Thinking Out Loud."The case called attention to the fact that there are motifs and musical structures common in pop music that no one owns, and all are free to use. When it comes to chord progressions, the 12-bar blues and basic I, IV, V, I progressions you hear in country and folk have been used and reused since people first picked up the guitar. In the wrong hands, the progressions can result in music that is boring and formulaic, but in the right hands, they can be a springboard for fresh ideas.In 2009 Australian comedy group Axis Of Awesome did a funny sketch showing how one four-chord progression, famous for being the basis of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” has been used countless times by musicians to great effect.They played a medley of 38 major hits using the same progression to prove their point. For musicians, it’s known as the I–V–vi–IV progression, and when played in the key of C it would be C, G, Am, F.Warning: Video contains strong language.Here’s a list of all of the songs in the medley.Journey - “Don't Stop Believing”James Blunt - “You're Beautiful”Alphaville - “Forever Young”Jason Mraz - “I'm Yours”Mika - “Happy Ending”Alex Lloyd - “Amazing”The Calling - “Wherever You Will Go”Elton John - “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”Maroon 5 - “She Will Be Loved”The Last Goodnight - “Pictures Of You”U2 - “With Or Without You”Crowded House - “Fall At Your Feet”Kasey Chambers - “Not Pretty Enough”The Beatles - “Let It Be”Red Hot Chili Peppers - “Under the Bridge”Daryl Braithwaite - “The Horses”Bob Marley - “No Woman No Cry”Marcy Playground - “Sex and Candy”Men at Work - “Land Down Under”Banjo Patterson - “Waltzing Matilda”A-ha - “Take On Me”Green Day - “When I Come Around”Eagle Eye Cherry - “Save Tonight”Toto - “Africa”Beyonce - “If I Were A Boy”The Offspring - “Self Esteem”The Offspring - “You're Gonna Go Far Kid”Pink - “You and Your Hand”Lady Gaga - “Poker Face”Aqua - “Barbie Girl”The Fray - “You Found Me”30h!3 - “Don't Trust Me”MGMT - “Kids”Tim Minchin - “Canvas Bags”Natalie Imbruglia - “Torn”Five For Fighting - “Superman”Axis Of Awesome - “Birdplane”Missy Higgins - “Scar”This article originally appeared last year.
