THE ARTISTIC AND ROMANTIC BOND BETWEEN BERTHE MORISOT AND ÉDOUARD MANETColleague Sebastian Smee. Berthe Morisot and her sister Edma were talented painters from a haute bourgeois family who successfully exhibited at the Salon, though society expected them to eventually prioritize marriage over art. In 1869, the unmarried Berthe met Édouard Manet at the Louvre, leading to a complex relationship that resembled a Jane Austen novel. Manet, struck by Berthe's dark, Spanish features, asked her to pose for his painting The Balcony. Although Manet was married to Suzanne—a Dutch pianist he had wed under complicated circumstances involving a hidden son—he and Berthe engaged in a mutual flirtation. Their families became close, attending weekly soirées together, but Manet's marriage remained an impediment to any romantic union with Berthe. Despite the social restrictions requiring chaperones, Manet's influence drove Berthe's artistic development, just as her presence influenced his work. NUMBER 2 1872

In the early nineteenth century she reinvented the art form, dancing en pointe not as a trick but as poetry, creating the illusion of weightlessness and giving birth to Romantic ballet.

From Parisian hysteria to West End adoration, this is the story of the woman who taught audiences across Europe how to believe in flight.

It's easy to look at movies or social media and wonder why love once felt effortless, and now feels quieter, more routine, or even distant. No one prepares you for the reality that long-term love doesn't stay fueled by novelty and adrenaline forever. As relationships mature, biology shifts, responsibilities increase, and especially after kids, connection can slowly give way to comfort… or worse, roommate energy. If you've ever thought, "Something's missing, but I don't know what," this episode is for you. In this conversation, we unpack what's actually happening beneath the surface of long-term relationships and why closeness fades even when love is still there. You'll hear how subtle habits, attention leaks, and well-intentioned routines quietly work against connection; and what it takes to bring back energy, affection, and excitement in a sustainable way. This isn't about recreating the early days of your relationship, but learning how to actively maintain closeness, playfulness, and desire in the season you're in now. ✨ If you want simple, daily ways to reconnect emotionally and physically, join our special edition 30-Day "Best of Us" Couples Challenge, designed to help you reignite closeness and bring more joy, flirtation, and intentional connection back into your marriage. It starts January 1st and is only open three times per year. Join now at mycoupleschallenge.com/best

A holiday special! Cynthia and Daniel discuss the 2018 romantic comedy No Sleep 'Til Christmas, starring Odette Annable, Dave Annable, and Charles Michael Davis. Should you invite your sleepytime sidepiece to your wedding? How do you build a fluffy rom com around crushing, severe insomnia? Where do Cynthia's critical faculties go when she's 30,000 feet in the air? And most importantly: does this movie give endorphins? Cover art by Paul Saunders, theme song written and performed by by Ali Lipman. Support LRR: http://Patreon.com/loadingreadyrun Romantic movies give us endorphins - even when they suck. Each episode, Cynthia and Daniel (Fight the Future with Dan and Paul) talk about a romantic comedy or romantic drama, digging into both the plot and the romance, and answering questions like: What happens the day after the end of the movie? Which romantic gestures are endearing (ooo!) and which are just creepy (eww!)? Will the couple make it? And does this movie, regardless of quality, deliver the happy-making endorphins we could all use right now?

Prof. Jayashree Kambl will present on her essay in CUNY FORUM Volume 11:1, focusing on love and gender roles in the recent globally successful films Godzilla Minus One and Past Lives. Prof. Kambl delves into how Godzilla unexpectedly challenges traditional cinematic depictions of romance and gender, offering fresh perspectives on themes of identity and geocultural representation. Both films show how popular culture can shape our understanding of history, belonging, and societal dynamics. She also goes beyond the article to invite connections between the philosophy of romance in Past Lives and its Korean-Canadian-American director Celine Songs 2025 movie, Materialists.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____What if the intensity you've chased in relationships wasn't love, but dopamine?Amanda McCracken is an award winning journalist, endurance athlete, and intimacy researcher who was diagnosed with ADHD at 36, long after she had built a successful career. From the outside, her life looked accomplished and disciplined. Inside, she struggled with distraction, emotional intensity, anxiety, and a lifelong pattern of romantic fixation. In this episode, Amanda shares how ADHD showed up quietly in her life, from trichotillomania and overthinking to using extreme exercise as a form of self regulation, long before she had language for what was actually happening.The conversation centers on limerence, a psychological state of intense romantic longing marked by obsession, idealization, and emotional highs and lows. Amanda explains how limerence thrives on uncertainty, making it especially powerful for ADHD brains that crave novelty and fast dopamine. Tracy and Amanda explore how rejection sensitivity, perfectionism, and trauma can blur the line between desire and self worth, and why many women mistake intensity for connection. Amanda also shares how chasing emotionally unavailable partners became an organizing force in her life, and how that pattern kept her stuck in fantasy instead of intimacy. She also had to confront a deeper truth: real intimacy feels quieter than fantasy. Today, Amanda is married to a securely attached partner and is the author of When Longing Becomes Your Lover, a deeply personal exploration of limerence, ADHD, and what it takes to receive love instead of chasing it.Resources:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-mccracken-4716373 Website: https://www.amandajmccracken.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.mccracken.39 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

When you're replaying a breakup, imagining a different version of yourself your partner might have loved more, or worrying that someone is “settling,” the problem isn't the relationship, it's the way your brain is using other people's opinions to try to regulate your self-worth. In this Coaching Hotline episode, I answer two listener questions about rejection and attraction that illustrate how quickly your mind will outsource your value to someone else's thoughts. I break down why your brain becomes so invested in mental rehearsals, fantasies, and what-ifs, and how those patterns keep you from seeing your actual emotional life clearly.

Episode 2834: Vironika shares deeply personal and touching stories that redefine romance, not as something reserved for couples, but as acts of love, presence, and celebration with oneself. Through moments of solitude, reflection, and self-compassion, she illustrates how solo experiences can be just as intimate and fulfilling as any romantic partnership. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.vironika.org/my-most-romantic-moments-with-myself/ Quotes to ponder: "Romance is something we do with other people, right? But at the end of the day, 'romance' is just a word we use to describe experiences of love, mystery, and excitement." "I've taken myself out and danced the night away, feeling not only happy about being alone but also happy for all the people around me who were together."  

I had the privilege of sitting down with Paul Elam for this enlightening conversation. Paul is a well known advocate for men's rights. He is the founder of ‘A Voice for Men' - the international conference on men's issues. He inspired the making of ‘The Red Pill' movie that aired in 2016. He's been a men's advisor and counselor for many decades now, and I appreciate how deeply he cares about supporting men.It was a pleasure to talk to him and I learned so much - I know you will too!We unpack the hidden assumptions about dating and marriage in the west under the ‘romantic model.' We also spend time getting to the bottom of why men are still so misunderstood in the west and what men need now more than anything.Listen in to learn about the origins of the romantic model, different priorities of men and women, what's missing from the mythopoetic movement, the change in male consciousness, the biggest killer of men, what a woman owes her marriage, being a ‘guardian of respect,' and so much more.Connect With Paul:Via X: https://x.com/RealPaulElamVia Substack: https://paulelam.substack.com/XY Crew: https://paulelam.com/xycrew/TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Intro & Preview: "Coddled Princesses" 00:32 — Welcome: Introducing Paul Elam01:53 — A Brief History of the Men's Movement 02:36 — From 1920s Protests to the Mythopoetic Movement 04:36 — The "Red Pill" Explosion & Its Flaws 05:49 — The Missing Piece: Accountability for Women 07:05 — The Critical Question: "What Do You Bring to the Table?" 08:52 — How We Got Here: Family Courts & The Romantic Model 10:24 — Hostile Dependency & Asserting Autonomy 11:24 — Contradictions: Feminism, Girlbosses, and Tradwives 13:07 — The Origins of Gynocentrism & Courtly Love 15:40 — Why the Romantic Model Failed After Divorce Stigma Lifted 18:12 — Trying to Satiate the Insatiable 20:22 — The "Simp" Dynamic: Groveling Breeds Resentment 21:58 — Why "Wild Man" Retreats Avoid the Real Issues 24:55 — Peeling Back Gynocentrism: Treating Each Other as Human 26:28 — Evolution vs. Socialization in Attraction 28:22 — The Paradox of Women's Unhappiness 30:19 — Disconnection from the Feminine Body 31:36 — The Necessity of Being Complete Before Relationships 33:30 — Understanding How Men Are Manipulated by Shame 35:49 — "Human Doings": Men's Value Tied to Provision 39:11 — Paul's Stance: Rejecting Legal Marriage 40:58 — Biblical Roles & The Myth of the 1950s Housewife 43:40 — Critique of the "She Has No Worries" Mindset 46:13 — Controversial Advice: Stop "Dating" Entirely 48:51 — The Transactional Nature of Modern Dating 50:00 — Debunking the Soulmate Myth 52:41 — Men, Silence, and the "Defective Women" Therapy Model 53:44 — Men Heal Through Action (The Michael Jordan Story) 56:06 — The Erosion of Male Spaces & The Bystander Effect 59:43 — Daniel Penny & The Risks of Male Protection 01:01:49 — Personal Safety: Agency vs. Expecting Protection 01:02:45 — Most Men's Issues Stem from Relationship Choices 01:04:18 — The Mirror Test: Taking Accountability for Abusive Partners 01:05:54 — Self-Esteem vs. Self-Respect 01:08:35 — Paul's Relationship Secret: Being the "Guardian of Respect" 01:10:52 — Teaching Women the Definition of Respect 01:13:23 — The Ultimate Power: Willingness to Walk Away 01:15:09 — Conclusion & Where to Find Paul Elam___________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

We don't know, we're podcasters, not EGOT-winning music producers of screen and stage. Maybe it's a good thing you can't hear what's in our heads… aside from on this show where we say everything in our heads, obviously. In this episode Trace explores what it might be like if the music in your head had a public feed. Meanwhile Julian tries to figure out what he couldn't do even if he had all the time in the world. Seriously, all of it.QUESTIONSJulian: "What can we NOT achieve with enough time?" from ShaneTrace: "What if you could hear someone else's life soundtrack?" from RebeccaDo you have an absurd question? Maybe it's a silly idea that popped into your head, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food?

THE CLASSIC UPDATE OF SHAKESPEARE'S TAMING OF THE SHREW!! 10 Things I Hate About You Full Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ Gift Someone (Or Yourself) A Stranger Things RR Tee! ⁠https://shorturl.at/hekk2⁠ Vecna: The Mind Slayer tee by @G9DESIGN & Dr. Stranger Things tee by @SASAMIIKU — perfect for hardcore fans & collectors alike Greg & Aaron trip the light ROMANTIC as they reunite for a 10 Things I Hate About You Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! Aaron Alexander & Gregory Alba dive into the sharp, romantic, endlessly quotable teen classic that helped define a generation of 90s/early-2000s cinema. Join Aaron & Greg as they revisit Gil Junger's modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, starring Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight, A Knight's Tale) in his breakout role as the rebellious and charming Patrick Verona, and Julia Stiles (Save the Last Dance, Dexter) as fiercely independent Kat Stratford. The film also features Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception, Looper) as Cameron, Larisa Oleynik (The Secret World of Alex Mack) as Bianca, and David Krumholtz (The Santa Clause, Numb3rs) and Allison Janney (I, Tonya, The West Wing) in unforgettable supporting roles. Aaron & Greg break down the film's most iconic and beloved moments: Patrick's legendary “Can't Take My Eyes Off You” serenade on the bleachers, Kat's emotional reading of the poem that gives the movie its name, Bianca punching Joey Donner in the face, Cameron's sweet-but-awkward attempts to win Bianca's heart, and the Stratford family's hilariously strict house rules. They explore how the film blends whip-smart humor, heartfelt coming-of-age storytelling, and timeless themes of trust, identity, and self-expression — all wrapped in peak 90s energy and one of the greatest high-school soundtracks of all time.

Mr. Holst, wherever you are, I apologize in advance for what I'm about to say. From my research, I know you resented this fact, but unfortunately, I think it's true. Here it is: despite the large catalogue of music Gustav Holst composed, much of it wonderful, he is essentially a one-hit wonder in the classical music world, à la Pachelbel, Dukas, Mascagni, and others. His one hit is a big one, though: an epic, seven-movement suite entitled The Planets. As I said, Holst was not happy about this in the slightest. He was a prolific composer and someone who devoted himself fully to his subjects. He considered other works he wrote better than The Planets, and yet, in the end, we hear very little of his other music, though since the 1980s some of it has been performed more frequently, particularly in the UK. But The Planets is truly a hit: the reason we know Holst's name today, and one of the most frequently performed pieces in the entire Western classical canon. Holst took a novel approach to his depiction of the planets. They are not ordered by their astronomical distance, but by musical cohesiveness. Nor do they depict the planets in a scientific sense; instead, they present a deeply personal astrological interpretation, something we'll explore as we discuss the piece. The orchestration is massive yet subtle, with colors unique both to the work itself and to Holst's output more broadly. It is easy to listen to and straightforward, while also somehow intensely complex and varied. It is powerful, Romantic, thrilling, joyous, mysterious, terrifying, and ultimately cosmic in both conception and execution. This is one of those pieces that people love without necessarily giving it the full respect it deserves. So today on the show, we'll learn a little about Holst's life, what led him to write The Planets, and why this piece grabs hold of us and doesn't let go throughout our journey through the stars. Join us! 

Timestamp to skip the intro: (9:00) In early September 2025, an abandoned Tesla was towed from an affluent neighborhood in Los Angeles to a tow yard after it violated a parking ordinance.  Within days, employees at the yard reported a foul odor coming from the vehicle and reported that it was attracting flies.   When authorities investigated, they discovered the body of a young female in the front trunk of the Tesla.   The body was identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez – a California teen who had been reported missing in 2024.   Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Celeste had been associated with the musician D4vd in recent years.  The two have documented interactions online.  When Celeste's body was discovered, she was noted to have a tattoo that matched one that d4vd has.   D4vd has since cancelled his upcoming tour and media sources report that he is a suspect in Celeste's death.  No charges have been laid but a grand jury has been convened in the case.   Read our blog for the case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2025/11/30/the-death-of-celeste-rivas-hernandez-is-d4vd-involved/   Join us on Patreon for weekly, exclusive content - Patreon.com/truecrimesociety   Be sure to follow us on all social media for the latest crime news – Instagram.com/truecrimesociety and search ‘True Crime Society'  on all other platforms.

Regret clings to her like sea salt, and as she stands on the beach, her heart breaks for the love she lost. Yet, as the tide ebbs and flows, so does her longing—transforming into tantalizing erotic fantasies that dance like shadows on the sand.But the ocean holds secrets deeper than Tess ever imagined. As she plunges into the supernatural depths of her desires, she uncovers a world where passion knows no bounds and the boundaries between life and death blur. Finn's spirit calls to her, weaving a tale of love intertwined with BDSM and longing that transcends the physical realm.In a journey filled with tearjerking revelations and tantalizing encounters, Tess must confront the truth of Finn's demise and the powerful connection that binds them—one that could either set her free or drown her in desire forever. Join Tess as she navigates the stormy waters of love, loss, and the supernatural, discovering that some ties can never be severed, and the heart's deepest yearnings can lead to the most unexpected places. Will she find closure, or will she drown in the depths of her desire?

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss the science of social connection and how we form meaningful bonds with others. I explore the neural basis for "social homeostasis"—our drive for a certain amount of social interaction—which explains why we feel lonely, seek connection and how we navigate social hierarchies. I also explain how the brain and neurochemicals, such as oxytocin and dopamine, shape our relationships from infancy through adulthood and underlie traits like introversion and extroversion. The episode also offers practical insights into forming deeper connections and how shared experiences with others enhance social bonding. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
