The only choice you have is how it affects the kids.” Part of that, Brian continued, is recognizing that it’s important to “pick your battles.””The person…

When Netflix announced a unique release schedule for the final season of “Stranger Things” that sees the final season of the juggernaut hit split into three releases on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve, it felt like a brash pronouncement of their pop culture dominance.

The darkest days of the year have always asked something of us. Long before we strung electric lights and gathered around brick fireplaces, people across cultures marked the winter solstice — the darkest day of the year. We do so still, not with despair, but as a moment of deliberate action, of invitation. We bring greenery indoors. We light candles in the windows and fires in the hearth.

Man United v Newcastle preview Manchester United will go fifth in the Premier League if they beat Newcastle at home on Friday – but manager Ruben Amorim is making no secret of the impact of losing Bruno Fernandes after the captain was substituted at half-time in their 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa last Sunday.
