Another red-hot Fox News hater is departing CNN. Oliver Darcy -- or as we call him, "Farcy Darcy" -- is going independent. You could count on Darcy to sympathize if you wish like the NAACP that Fox News could just be banned. Because you want to "save democracy." You could get the so-called CNN "Reliable Sources" newsletter for free, but Michael Grynbaum of the New York Times reports subscriptions to the new Darcy newsletter, simply called "Status," will begin at $15 a month or $150 per year; an elite membership, with perks like private Zoom calls, is available for $595 annually. Someone apparently thinks a private Zoom call with Farcy Darcy is a "perk" worth $595. Here's who Darcy's leftist commentary attracts: Keith Olbermann, who lamented "Well there goes one of the few useful reporters @cnn." Howard Polskin of The Righting newsletter gushed "Darcy is a sharp wordsmith who knows how to make words dance." In recent years, Darcy ripped into the new regime of CEO Chris Licht, who lamely attempted to calm down the hyperbole in CNN's Trump coverage. During the recent Republican National Convention, Darcy called out the network for airing “lie-filled speeches” with “little to no pushback.” The CNN brass must have wished they sent him packing alongside Brian Stelter in 2022. Nevertheless, CNN CEO Mark Thompson proclaimed “Oliver has established himself as a tough but scrupulously fair leading voice in media reporting and commentary – never afraid to call it as he sees it.” Conservatives would not use words like "scrupulously fair." Darcy constantly warned of "the truth under assault" by the conservative media, as if truth was an exclusively liberal category. The Times account continued:  Mr. Darcy plans to start with an initial sponsor (he declined to specify the company) and an ad sales partnership with The Ankler, a start-up that covers Hollywood. He has no outside investors, and for now Mr. Darcy will be reporting alone. “My pitch to readers is this is a 100 percent independent voice,” he said. “I don’t think there’s one product out there that does exactly what we do.” This will be as "independent" as the "independent fact-checkers" -- in other words, a reliably leftist source.  A CNN spokesperson said their "Reliable" newsletter would go on hiatus for the rest of the summer, returning in the fall with a new lead writer.

We’ve heard plenty of airplane horror stories as of late, with a good chunk of those having to do with screaming babies and kids acting out. It’s enough to make anyone finding out they’re traveling next to a kid tense up a bit. Luckily, this “kid on a plane” story is nothing like that. Back in June, realtor Samantha Purnell found herself on a flight sitting next to Jazzy, a 10 year old girl flying alone. What could have been two awkward hours of silence (or worse) instead became the most wholesome friendship ever, and it was all caught on video. In a now-viral TikTok clip, we see that the pair watched “The Parent Trap,” “played Sephora” (meaning Purnell let Jazzy peruse her makeup stash), and shared a snack of hard boiled eggs—that last part because Jazzy "wouldn't take 'no' for an answer." There was even a sweet moment when Jazzy called herself “ugly” and Purnell stepped into giving sisterly advice without missing a beat. “Don’t you ever say that! You’re stunning. Don’t ever, ever, ever, ever say that to yourself,” she told her new bestie. Watch below and tell me this doesn't have major sleepover vibes. @sammypur A seat buddy match made in heaven ? ♬ Funny - Gold-Tiger Viewers were quick to note how this flight would probably be a positive core memory for Jazzy. “She will remember this forever!!! You gave her a massive confidence boost at a really important stage in her life!!” said one person. “This is every little girl’s dream,” added another. The clip even made its way to Jazzy’s aunt, who wrote, “This is my niece and HER mom and I are very grateful for you! Jazzy was nervous to fly and you truly helped her so much!! Thanks for being there and being such an angel!! ?????”But wait, there’s more! Purnell conspired with Jazzy’s mom to make a surprise reunion happen. Jazzy was told she’d be going on a fishing trip with her day, when in reality Purnell was going to scoop her up to spend the entire day together. How sweet is that?!?!? In that video, Jazzy screams with delight, saying “I’m so happy!” while tears flow. The girl’s day then consisted of a Starbucks trip, more Sephora makeup (obviously), dancing, and fashionista fit check. At one point, Jazzy even got to share her side of how they became BFFs. @sammypur Girls day glam ? #grwm ♬ original sound - Samantha Purnell “I felt really nervous. I started crying. I thought the plane was going to crash or something because the plane started shaking so much, and I said ‘Okay, I’m going to tell you my whole life story.’ And then we just started talking and then we became best friends,” she said. Sometimes sisters are born into the same family, and other times they simply appear in each other’s lives…or in this case, on their flights. And we are so so here for this unexpected sisterhood.

Despite having billions of samples to study, the science of what attracts humans to one another is a bit of a mystery. There are so many factors that can come into play, from appealing to the physical senses to intangible qualities that people can't quite put their finger on. One person's hot is another person's not, so sweeping generalizations about what's attractive and what isn't don't really work. However, there are social forces that portray certain qualities and behaviors as making someone more desirable when in reality they have the opposite effect on most people. Someone on Reddit asked women to share one thing that men think is attractive but is actually a turnoff, and the responses offer a helpful guide for men who might need some help in the dating department. Here are the top answers to "What's one thing men do that they think is attractive, but actually isn't?"Elevating themselves by putting down other men"Put down other men to try and elevate their image to me. It does the opposite to their desired effect.""Literally went on a first date last night with a guy who talked about how dumb all his guy friends are. ? I just sat there like... bro I don't think you realize what that all says about YOU because of the company that you keep lmao.""This is a huge red flag in a man. I am a man and I can relate to that.My sister told me this: When guys hype each other in front of a girl, that's a huge turn on for a girl.""On the flip, had a few dates with a man who spoke very positively of other men he casually knew. He was a genuinely nice person who wished the best for everyone. He was also always so kind to everyone and anyone who approached him. Some people are so cold toward and assume the worst of others (I get it, living in a big city), but I was so impressed by how warmly he treated everyone, even if he had to gently redirect them or get them to move along. He was a really good dude. People in the neighborhood adored him. Every woman had the biggest crush on him. I’d watch girls throw themselves at him constantly at the bar we used to frequent, lol. Didn’t work out for reasons, but I still think so fondly of him and respect him for his unconditional kindness.""On my first date with my now fiancé, during first date talk conversation, he spent probably like an hour speaking positively about other men in his life and it really drew me to him. Our male bartender was really friendly and my guy said something along the lines of “people like him always make my day, I hope to be like that for other people” and I was just locked in after that. He’s wonderful on all other fronts of course but I thought it was so sweet how tender and positive he was towards other men as a straight man."Putting down other women in an attempt to compliment a woman"If you try to suggest I’m better than other women I will assume you either don’t know how to give a compliment or are a misogynist.""Yup. 'You're not like other girls' is not the compliment you think it is, bud.""When I hear that phrase it sounds like 'other women were smart enough to reject me but I think I can get you.'""It’s like yeah, you just insulted a group that contains both me and some of my favorite people in the world and you expect me to take it as a compliment? That’s wild.""Ewww, I had a guy comment on a group picture of mine 'looks like you're the hot friend in the group ?' and didn't understand why I was LIVID with him, it's so gross.""'You’re not like other girls' …my guy, I am an amalgamation of every girl I’ve ever liked or admired- I am exactly like other girls.""Similarly, if every girl that they have ever dated was 'crazy,' run don't walk away from that situation..."Bragging about success, money or sexual prowess"Brag about how successful they are with women. It always comes across as desperate and not really believable.""I know a guy who saves every girl they 'dated' photo on their phone and brag how they get those girls. Its so weird to have girls you 'dated' photo saved on your phone. The guy is obviously insecure too.""My ex when I was still dating him, 'I could get any girl I want.' That man is still single to this day and that was 7 years ago ?""This one guy bragged to me that he can go on for 10 hours...I'm like no thanks bruv, I like my sleep.""Brag about how much money they make or what they own.""Bragging about ANYTHING is so unattractive."Overconfidence and trying to be an "alpha male""When they act over-confident and 'manly' - just be yourself! it’s okay if you make mistakes or show your emotions, I honestly find those things endearing. and awkward guys are ADORABLE.""When they trying hard to act cool. Nah. I like when men are comfortable enough to show their vulnerability.""Changing their voice to sound more like strong or alpha something like that lol""Some guy misjudged how wolves socialize back in 1947 and now I have to listen to some dude with no personality talk about why he's superior (plot twist: he isn't).""I had one very attractive boyfriend who very much knew it and he would practically pose on the lounge waiting for compliments … it was so off putting.""There's such thing as too confident. Also don't order my meal for me.""Talk over people in a group and always try to be the loudest/most dominate person in conversation. It makes you look like a rude a__hole.""Conversely, making space for the quiet folks in a group to be heard seems to be an attractive pursuit based on what I've seen."Trying to start fights with other men"Trying to start fist fights w other guys for dumb reasons.""Ugh I went on a first date with a guy I’d worked with for a while (super chill and seemed lovely) who noticed someone checking me out and asked me, mid meal, if he should go over and f---k that guy up for me. Like no, I want to get a second glass of wine going? I hadn’t even really noticed anything but my date and food but at that moment I was 100% done and turned off. He spent the entire meal talking about how he’d f--k up anyone for me and it was deeply, deeply unsettling.""Hi, my name is Bob. I'm 36, a software developer and prone to violent rage outbursts....Two hours later:Would you like to go on a second date?No but I'd like my first restraining order.""Violence is a huge turn off.""You know what's hot af? Defusing a fight. Exuding confidence, respect, and control in a situation, and the wherewithal to work through it. Love me some mediator boys.""This is so true!!! guys who keep everyone calm and remain collected are so attractive."Sending unsolicited lewd photos"I don’t understand why they think a random, poorly shot image of their penis will be more persuasive than charm and humor.""As a gay dude, I feel you here. I honestly didn't get the point, and it was even worse when the person seemed normal, and it appeared out of nowhere mid conversation.""An ex would do this in random conversations, it would actually make me vomit in my mouth a little. I simply ignored the message and continued the conversation at hand.""I saw a joke recently that perfectly sums it up. Dick pics are like a dead mouse a pet brings you. I can see you are proud, but I am not touching that." Naturally, some women may disagree and actually love some of these things, but generally speaking, the basic character qualities of kindness, positivity and humility as well as being a calm, mediating presence are much more desirable than the opposite. Some prominent male "influencers" will try to say otherwise, but if you want to know what women actually find attractive, it's a good idea to listen to women, not men who claim to know what women want.
