I don’t know why this is, but eggs cooked in the microwave are SO much yummier than eggs cooked on the stovetop. I use José Andrés’ method: two eggs, a dollop of mayo, salt and pepper (I added shredded cheddar too). Whisk it all together and microwave for about a minute until fluffy. I finish with freshly grated Parmesan, green onions, chili crisp, and a little cracked black pepper. Not the prettiest eggs when done, but they’re ridiculously good!
Ozempic:
The good news is you’re finally skinny.
The bad news is your vagina fell out. 💀
Ozempic is just causing all the issues
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video sensationalizes colloquial "Ozempic vagina/vulva" changes from rapid fat loss and skin laxity, which are not a direct/official side effect of Ozempic or unique to it. Similar effects occur with any rapid weight loss.

Continuing the discussion about physical attraction and the role it plays in dating and relationships, I came across this interesting Reddit post:
A divorced mother has met a man who checks nearly every box, except he’s not really her physical type. Other women do find him attractive. She finds him somewhat attractive, they have great chemistry, and intimacy isn’t an issue, but she worries she’ll eventually lose attraction because she’s not crazy about his looks. I think there’s a big difference between someone not being your physical type and not being physically attracted to them at all.
Would you marry someone who was everything you wanted in a partner, except you weren't particularly physically attracted to them?
I think I’ve ulocked some weird portal. 😂
After using AI yesterday to generate images of less conventionally attractive women paired with handsome men for my looks-matching experiment, these ads started appearing on another social media platform. What a weird coincidence that every single one features an overweight woman paired with a handsome man. I had no idea these AI romance movies were even a thing, or so popular. I’m torn though. On one hand, it seems like harmless romantic escapism for women. On the other, I wonder whether consuming a steady diet of these stories might give women wildly unrealistic expectations about dating, attraction, and relationships.
My husband and I went to see Rick Springfield tonight with friends, and what a fun night! If there’s one thing I can’t recommend enough, it’s going to see the musicians who provided the soundtrack to your younger years. It doesn’t even have to be someone you were a huge fan of. There’s just something magical about hearing those songs live, singing along, and being transported back a few decades.
And can we talk about Rick Springfield?! At 77 years old, he makes a pretty compelling case that age really is just a number.
Okay, interesting social experiment: About 95% of the men replying to my SEC couples post attributed the attractiveness gap to the men being rich.
So I’m curious. What would your explanation be if the genders were reversed?
*I had to resort to AI because I genuinely couldn’t find any real-life examples of young couples with a comparable attractiveness gap in the opposite direction.

I’ve had several people reply they either don’t understand looks matching or that it isn’t a thing. Mind you, looks matching has nothing to do with how attracted a couple is to each other, how successful their relationship is, or even whether they should be together.
But here’s a quick lesson in looks matching…..
Take a look at these photos of average SEC couples. If you’re shocked, baffled, or in disbelief when looking at them, congratulations! You understand looks matching perfectly.
Since we’re talking about looks, I think most people don’t realize how much can be accomplished with facial aesthetics without ever going under the knife. This was a patient of mine, photographed less than an hour apart. No surgery. Just PDO threads and a small amount of strategically placed filler. One of the things I miss about practicing cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics was seeing how relatively small interventions could make such a dramatic difference.
I don’t know if this is a popular or unpopular opinion……
I think those airport self-service kiosks are much faster, easier, and more efficient than checking in with a human ticketing agent.
This woman inspired countless women to question their marriages, their ordinary lives, and whether they were settling for less than they deserved. She romanticized the pursuit of personal fulfillment, even when it meant upending everything. Now, at 57, she’s a recovering addict, survived a deeply destructive lesbian relationship with a friend, and has been celibate for seven years.
I think the ordinary, imperfect, perhaps unexciting lives so many women were encouraged to abandon weren’t so terrible after all. There’s a difference between escaping a bad life and discarding a good one because you’ve been convinced something extraordinary is waiting elsewhere. In the relentless pursuit of something better, too many failed to recognize the value of what they already had.
