Conan O’Brien says he always flies commercial, for a surprisingly human reason | ||
It’s not just that private jets are bad for the environment. | ||
By Evan Porter | ||
For a certain subset of people, being able to fly on a private jet is the ultimate achievement. It means you’ve made it into the elite of the elite, the celebrity class, and you no longer have to deal with TSA screenings, flight delays, cancellations, and all the headaches that come with the traditional airport experience. | ||
But Conan O’Brien, beloved comedian, television host, podcaster—and multi-millionaire—says flying private really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. That’s why he avoids it as often as he can. | ||

Once women reach a certain age, society does something weird. It starts sending messages that you’re simply too old to dress as if you have a social life. In general, it seemed as if society had been moving away from those unrealistic expectations laid upon moms and women over the age of 35, but maybe not. | ||
Jessica Buwick, a mom on TikTok, found out fairly quickly that people still have interesting ideas about how “old people” should dress when going out in public. The mom, who was 37 at the time, ordered a plethora of outfits to try on in search of one for her son’s graduation after seeing other moms on social media dressing up more for graduations than parents did when she graduated. | ||

Comedy writer mom perfectly satirizes the increasingly unhinged emails parents get from school | ||
“We did not send this to any dads.” | ||
By Evan Porter | ||
There didn’t used to be such a thing as emails from school. Most Millennials and Gen Xers remember a time when parents only knew what was going on at school if they physically came home and handed them a piece of paper. | ||
But now, communication is digital, instant, and the floodgates are completely open. Parents love knowing how their kids are doing in class and about key events coming up at school—but many parents confess they are finding the constant communication is getting more than a little out of hand. | ||
