Through practical advice on taking responsibility, learning consistently and focusing on small, actionable steps, Warikoo underscores that rebuilding a meaningful life begins with changing one’s mindset, not dwelling on past mistakes.

Ironically, failure is something every one of us encounters at some point in life.The child who once feared failing a Class 5 mathematics examination may…

I’ve nev­er quite under­stood why the phrase “revi­sion­ist his­to­ry” became pure­ly pejo­ra­tive. Of course, it has its Orwellian dark side, but all knowl­edge has to be revised peri­od­i­cal­ly, as we acquire new infor­ma­tion and, ide­al­ly, dis­card old prej­u­dices and nar­row frames of ref­er­ence. A fail­ure to do so seems fun­da­men­tal­ly regres­sive, not only in polit­i­cal terms, but also in terms of how we val­ue accu­rate, inter­est­ing, and engaged schol­ar­ship. Such research has brought us fas­ci­nat­ing sto­ries about pre­vi­ous­ly mar­gin­al­ized peo­ple who made sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tions to sci­en­tif­ic dis­cov­ery, such as NASA’s “human com­put­ers,” por­trayed in the book Hid­den Fig­ures, then dra­ma­tized…

Best believe that Rebecca Welton is bejeweled when she walks in the room. In fact, bejeweled is exactly how Hannah Waddingham’s Ted Lasso character ends up in the premiere episode of the Apple TV show’s fourth season after stumbling upon Dazzle Me Moi, a local Kansas City boutique blessed by Taylor Swift’s influence. As Rebecca, Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) and Leslie Higgins (Jeremy Swift) visit Ted (Jason Sudeikis) in Kansas City to try to convince him to return to England to coach AFC Richmond’s new women’s team, the ladies embark on a shopping spree. And though Rebecca is initially put…

And so the doors close on another year of the Fantasia International Film Festival—my seventh or eighth year covering in general, and the third covering for this site (and, blissfully, in person). It’s always a surreal experience to be back in Montreal each year, seeing the same faces and fellow critics I’ve admired and called friends, or even worked with as editors and employees (Horror Queers co-host Joe Lipsett, who used to edit for me at The Spool) and coworkers and publicists, albeit from afar. (Of course, it’s also nice when fellow Chicagoans accompany me to the fest; looking at…

“Yet we were wrong, terribly wrong.” That’s the jarring admission of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara in his 1995 memoir In Retrospect about how poorly the Kennedy and Johnson administrations handled the Vietnam War. It is rare for a public figure to admit wrongdoing, and the frankness of his confession makes it all the more striking. The mistake was, in fact, enormous. Ten years into the Vietnam War, the United States struggled to make progress against an entrenched enemy. In an effort to break the enemy’s resolve, McNamara championed a bombing campaign that lasted three years and killed tens of…

Alexander Nikishin is the Carolina Hurricanes’ lone remaining free agent, and there isn’t a rush The Sheet with Jeff Marek: Cory Lavalette, the Carolina Hurricanes running it back, minus Frederik Andersen, and there is no rush to get RFA defenseman Alexander Nikishin re-signed. An eventual bridge deal will likely be the outcome. Marek: “It went from can they do it to they did it, and then the next stop is, can they do it again? Freddie Anderson is no longer with the team, but is, is this basically, to your understanding, this like they’re quote unquote running this thing back?…
