You might know him for his work in Fear the Walking Dead, The Four Seasons, and Euphoria. But you should also know him for how damn fashionable he is, and I mean runway-worthy fashionable.

The Nobel Prize for Hubris
An excerpt from Closer to the Edge.net -
Trump Joins the Ranks of Nobel Laureates
For contributions so bold, the truth never stood a chance.
Closer to the Edge
PRESS RELEASE
From the Nobel Committee for Human Catastrophe Studies
Oslo, Norway
The Nobel Committee for Human Catastrophe Studies has the dubious honor of confirming the 47th President of the United States, Donald John Trump, as the recipient of this year’s Nobel Prize for Hubris — the only Nobel distinction awarded not for contributions to humanity, but for what happens when one man decides he is humanity.
After an exhaustive review of global arrogance, the Committee determined that no living individual had demonstrated such persistent, measurable, and self-reinforcing confidence in his own delusion. The laureate’s work in dismantling institutions, ignoring advisors, and publicly contradicting himself while maintaining applause constitutes a monumental leap in the study of performative self-destruction.
The Committee notes that while hubris has long been associated with figures such as Oedipus, Napoleon, and Mussolini, none have displayed Trump’s sheer endurance in failure. Where others faced consequences, he faced cameras. Where others fell, he held a rally. His audacity has transcended psychology and entered the realm of physics, bending space, time, and truth around his gravitational ego.

10 Things My Baby Boomer Mom Was Right About All Along
A mother's wisdom often stands the test of time.

Here are 10 things my baby boomer mom was right about all along:
1. 'Birds of a feather flock together'
"My mom told me once that 'birds of a feather flock together.' I guess it was kind of her warning, like, if his friends have questionable integrity, so will he. Also, look at who he admires — it says a lot about the kind of man he is." — Ana
2. 'The happiest you can be in a relationship is by being independent'
"My mom and sisters haven't always been the best advice-givers when it comes to relationships, but my mentor (who has always felt like a second mom to me) told me that the happiest I can be in a relationship is by being independent and self-supporting, that way I can be with someone because of love and not because of security and stability." — Kai
3. 'Never let a relationship hurt your confidence'
"My mom always tells me the generic stuff that you always hear, but one thing that really sticks with me was right after a breakup when she told me to 'Never let a relationship hurt my confidence.'"
"I couldn't listen to her at the time, but looking back, it was so important for me to hear that. My relationship didn't work out, but that didn't mean I shouldn’t be insecure about myself." — Jessica
4. 'You'll be able to see a man's true self when he has a bad hand or when he's losing'
"Both of my parents are Asian, so their idea of what makes a relationship work isn’t exactly modern or American. My mom told me once that I could tell a lot from a guy’s personality by how he plays mahjong, which is a game of skill, strategy, and calculation. Her point was that I would be able to see a man's 'true self' when he has a bad hand or when he’s losing."
"She meant that I would be able to see how he handled the tough stuff and how that might translate to our relationship." — Shannon
5. 'Don't trust a man who doesn't like dogs'
"I'm really close with my mom, and her two pieces of advice to me when I started dating were: 'Don't trust a guy who doesn't like dogs,' and that 'the way a guy treats his mother is the way he'll treat you.'" — Mariah

Married Men Share Biggest Regrets
An excerpt from Upworthy -
Single guy asks married men their biggest regrets. It's heartbreaking and hopeful all at once.
"My faith in the institution of marriage is restored"

Not everyone wants to get married, but for those that do, marriage is considered one big 'final' step in a relationship. It's something that people think about from the time they can grasp the concept of relationships. When you factor that in with the high divorce rate, it makes sense that people want to ensure they're getting it right before taking the leap.
Typically, people ask their close inner circle for relationship advice. Leaning on people like their parents, siblings or friends who have been married to fill in the gaps of knowledge. However, with the world becoming smaller than ever due to social media, it takes little effort to gather collective knowledge from thousands of people within your target audience.
Surprisingly, people are pretty forthcoming to strangers on the internet looking for support and help. One man who goes by the name King Boiza decided to ask his internet advisors, "Married men, what is your greatest regret about marriage? Advise the single boys. It could be about anything." The married men didn't hesitate to answer the call in the most genuinely wholesome way.
Gleaning collective wisdom from those more experienced than you is a common practice, but being able to do it in such a significant way is relatively new. Different life experiences lead to different perspectives that can be invaluable to someone still learning.
The advice provided ranged from warnings to what could be seen as universal truths about marriage.
"Your wife becomes the words you speak upon her, I regret not speaking life and good upon her," one man shares.
"In times of trouble, remember...It's not you against her but the both of you, against the problem...," someone writes.
"Listen when she speaks from the heart, once she feels unheard, she will be closed off for a long time if not forever," another advises.
"Not all women age gracefully with all their good looks and physique. Marry her for more reasons beyond her body and beauty. Seek a FOREVER," one commenter says.
"The grass is NEVER greener on the other side. NEVER," a man wrote.
"Don’t let the family you come from destroy the family you create," a commenter added.
"Be the partner you're looking for!" a man wrote.
"The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together," a married man wrote.
"Remember that you are not married to your idea of your wife but to who your wife is. Love her for who is she is not who you want her to be," one man commented.
Josh Johnson Stand-Up & Teacher Who Recognized His Talent Years Before
An excerpt from Scoop-Upworthy.com -
Teacher predicted he’d one day perform on 'Tonight Show'. When he got there, he surprised his teacher with a request
For Josh Johnson, Mr. Ward was his guiding light who recognised his spark long before the world did.
By Hridyambika A Manu
They say teachers are our second parents for a reason, because the right ones can shape not just our minds, but our entire perspective on life. While not every teacher has left a lasting impression, some of us were fortunate to have had those special teachers who often become the guiding lights behind who we grow up to be. For popular stand-up comedian Josh Johnson, that guiding light was his high school teacher, Mr Ward, who recognised his spark long before the world did. And now, years later, in February 2017, Josh’s way of returning that encouragement is one of the most heartwarming videos you will find on the internet today.

It's Never Too Late to Begin Again

Some Dreams Arrive at 40, 50, Even 70: Seven Women Who Prove It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again
by Gee NY
They say it’s too late. That your chance has passed. That your dreams should have an expiry date. But here’s the truth: the clock does not define you.
These remarkable African, African American, and Afro-Caribbean women are living proof. Some started new careers in their late 30s, some found their voice at 60, and some broke barriers at 70.
1. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf – From Exile to Presidency at 67
She spent 5 years in exile, endured imprisonment, and at 67 became Africa’s first elected female President in Liberia. At 72, she won the Nobel Peace Prize, proving that history can still have room for firsts, even later in life.
2. Segilola Grey – Breaking Beauty Standards at 71
At 71, Segilola decided she was more than “too old.” What started as a photoshoot organized by her son blossomed into a modelling career redefining beauty, age, and representation on the global stage.
5. Alberta Hunter – Comeback at 82
Southern Comfort
An excerpt from Your Tango -
People Who Grew Up In The South Usually Keep These 11 Things In Their Homes
Is Southern charm a real thing?
By Zayda Slabbekoorn
We've all heard about "Southern hospitality" and "charm," but what do these things really mean when it comes to a person's daily life and routine? Most of the practices they engage in on an everyday basis are rooted in secure Southern values — things like family time, tradition, religious beliefs, food and beverages, and connection.
From porch furniture to family photos, people who grew up in the South usually keep these things in their homes. Even if they've moved away or left their families in another state, this kind of charm and hospitality doesn't simply go away — it's rooted in their personality and everyday habits.

Southern hospitality often extends to seemingly simple interactions with neighbors or strangers, which is why it's not entirely surprising that things like porch furniture, which is both a tradition and a means for connection, are so common in Southern people's homes.
Student Invents Self-Sanitizing Door Handle
An excerpt from GoodGoodGood.co -
Student invents self-sanitizing door handle for hospitals, receives award from prime minister
By Kamrin Baker
Jamaica’s University of Technology alum Rayvon Stewart grew up in a poor, rural farming community called Mount Prospect. Along with his cousin, the now 30-year-old software engineer was the first in his family to go to college.
In school, Stewart discovered his love of inventing, but it wasn’t until he was 23 and volunteering at a hospital that he realized he could solve a real problem with his designs.
It was this time in healthcare facilities that led him to invent a door handle that could disinfect itself after every touch. He calls it Xermosol.
“I saw how patients were suffering, the assistance that they needed, and how difficult it was for the nurses,” Stewart told The Guardian.
Xermosol is a pioneering ultra-violet self-sanitizing door handle, which Stewart says can kill 99.9% of pathogens but is safe for people and animals. It currently has provisional patent protection and has won Jamaica’s Prime Minister’s National Youth Award and the Commonwealth Health Innovations Award.
