On January 20, user Desertislanddreamer on the London-based discussion site Mumsnet, shared her dilemma asking for support. “I met this guy through work, [I have] known of him for over five years but started seeing him a year ago.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE PARTING SHOT WITH H. ALAN SCOTT ON APPLE PODCASTS OR SPOTIFY What most enticed you about playing Dana? Oh, my God, so many things. When I first read the book, I felt that there was something so charming and rich and powerful about Dana’s connection to her own ancestry. This story is told from an historical perspective that gave a fresh look at slavery, essentially. And to not only watch a show or see a story, or a book, or a narrative that was a historical viewpoint on slavery, but actually a girl who could have her hand in her own ancestry and change it, that was so interesting and cool to me....

The NFL has been home to many iconic facial hair configurtions, but have you ever seen a more glorious lip-warmer in the NFL than Gardner Minshew’s?

Fast forward eight decades: The world’s worst violators of human rights, including China and Russia, now serve on the U.N. Human Rights Council, and the likes of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan make a mockery of multilateralism and international norms by gaslighting nations at the U.N. General Assembly. Roosevelt must be turning in his grave. Erdogan, in particular, has made a habit of trolling the General Assembly, which meets in September every year, by repeatedly lecturing members that “the world [is] more than five”—a reference to the five permanent members of the U....

The Democratic state leader previously tried to place blame onto former President Donald Trump and his administration, arguing that state authorities needed “more vaccines and clarity of when we will be receiving them.” However, now that President Joe Biden sits in the White House and has begun his coronavirus plan, it could be harder for Newsom to pin California’s COVID troubles on federal failures. The newly inaugurated commander-in-chief signed a series of COVID executive orders on Thursday—including a directive ordering that face masks be worn on federal property and interstate travel....
