From arsenic-laced dyes to lead-based skincare, Regency-era women followed these five beauty trends—at their own risk.

Jeffrey Epstein and Elon Musk exchanged multiple messages between 2012 and 2014, comparing their schedules to find time to meet in Florida or in the Caribbean, according to new documents released by the Justice Department on Friday. "If you find some time, come visit me on my island" in the Caribbean, Mr. Epstein wrote to Mr. Musk on Sept. 25, 2012, urging the billionaire to "bring your friend or friends." "Sounds good, will try to make it," Mr. Musk replied...

Billionaire Elon Musk called Friday's release of millions of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents "a distraction," writing on X that emails he had sent to the late financier could be "misinterpreted" to smear his name. Musk said he had "very little correspondence" with Epstein and wrote on X he "declined repeated invitations" to go to Epstein's island, despite emails showing he had been in touch with Epstein in 2012 and 2013, at one point asking him, "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"...

Tech billionaire Elon Musk asked Jeffrey Epstein when he could visit Little St. James — the notorious "Pedo Island" in the Caribbean — early in 2014 but never made it, emails released by the Justice Department show. On Dec. 13, 2013, the Tesla and SpaceX founder emailed Epstein that his family would "be in the BVI/St Bart's area over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit?" "[A]ny day [Jan.] 1st-8th," Epstein answered. "[P]lay it by ear if you want. [A]lways space for you."...

It’s no secret Gen Zers aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of Gen X movies. Many parents eagerly await the day to finally blow the dust off that Dead Poets Society or Sixteen Candles VHS, only to find that their kids doesn't hold quite the same shine to it. And, let’s be honest, neither do we a lot of the time once we rewatch through a more modern lens. But it’s another thing entirely for them to have no earthly idea what some of the biggest, most quotable movies of the '80s and '90s are, period. Recently, a teacher who goes by Larry Lexicon on Instagram asked his class to guess the name of a classic Gen X movie using only one iconic quote from it. Here were some of the quotes: “Nobody puts baby in a corner.”“I feel the need. The need for speed.““Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”“Yipee ki yay”“I want my two dollars.”“If you build it, they will come.” See on Instagram Now, you and I both know that these lines are from Dirty Dancing, Top Gun, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Die Hard, Better Off Dead, and Field of Dreams. But these kiddos had no idea. They couldn't even begin to guess where these quotes came from. Nothing but blank stares.But what’s even funnier were the, ahem, creative reaches some other students had. For instance, one kid guessed that the line “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die,” was from Zorro (the answer is, of course, The Princess Bride). Another said “Come with me if you want to live” was from Impractical Jokers (it’s from Terminator), while a third guessed that, rather than Karate Kid, “Sweep the leg!” is from Legally Blonde. (Although, that student admitted it’s because she thought of “bend and snap.”) @primevideoca bend... and SNAP!

America is the land of immigrants. It's something that the country has boasted since the first boats arrived on Ellis Island more than 130 years ago. In school, kids are taught that, due to the diverse immigrant communities, the country is a salad bowl or melting pot of cultures. Like a salad where every added ingredient maintains its original colors, flavors, and shapes, to make something delicious when consumed together, immigrants do the same for America. Telling their family's American origin story is a point of pride for many, but since the country is just shy of 250 years old, the majority of Americans have been on the land for generations. Their family's immigration story is one from the distant past, which means the average American has no idea how the immigration process works in modern times. Immigration attorney Kathleen Martinez teamed up with immigration consultant Alejandro Martinez to show exactly how immigration works in America today.

After being asked by Alejandro what it means to "do it legally," Kathleen stands in front of a whiteboard with multiple squiggly lines and phrases to represent different steps in the process. "When other people tell immigrants to 'do it legally,' what they're referring to is how they enter the country. So let's talk about entering legally," Kathleen says. "So let's say that you entered on a visa, right? Let's say that your visa is not expired, so that means that you're still in legal status. You're good. You're still legal, right? So let's say you're going to adjust status to a green card through an employer, well, it depends. Are you with an employer who will actually petition for you a green card, then possibly you did the entire thing legally."

Kathleen explains that the next option is a work visa that enters into a lottery system, which is common for H1B visas given out on a limited basis by the government. Being entered into the lottery system to transition from a work visa to a green card means getting a green card is left up to chance. If your number is pulled, congratulations! No, you don't get a green card. You get to move to the next step, called the Visa Bulletin. "When you're in the Visa Bulletin, depending on what country you're from, it could take you up to 25 years to get your green card. So yeah, you did the entire thing legally. You won. You got the lottery, but oh no, you have to wait another 25 years and be undocumented in the United States in order to get your green card," Kathleen explains.

The immigration attorney then shares how the process works if you're working in America on a temporary work visa. "You're on a temporary visa, meaning that you were supposed to return, or it expired. Now you're on the expired status pile. You are not here, no longer doing it legally, although you did enter legally, which is so weird. So now you need to look at other options because if you're on expired status, you're no longer going through an employer."If someone's temporary work visa expires, and they can't afford to go back to their home country, or they don't want to due to building a life in America, options become even more confusing. According to Kathleen, the options are limited. If the immigrant is married to a U.S. citizen, their spouse can petition the government for a green card. The same is true if their child is a U.S. citizen over the age of 21, or if they're the child of a U.S. citizen and they themselves are under 21 years of age.

Keep in mind, this entire time, this hypothetical immigrant is still undocumented, though they originally entered legally. If they don't have any family members to petition for them, they can try the humanitarian route through T Visas or U Visas, which would allow them to enter the lottery. The immigration attorney still was not done explaining the long, difficult process. People were unprepared for how ridiculously confusing the entire immigration process is. One person writes, "It’s Shoots & Ladders, with only Shoots and no Ladders."Another laments, "There’s no sane reason it should be this complicated if all I had to do was to be born here." "Welcome to the USA: A new journey begins with a green card."Photo credit: Canva"It’s soo wild how many hoops you gotta jump with our immigration system. Even for my mom when she applied for citizenship, and I’m talking like about 50 years or so ago, it wasn’t as bad, from what she tells me, it has definitely changed a lot over the years," someone else shares.This person's mind was blown, "Bro, I thought I knew. I had NO idea."One person points out, "And then there’s DACA, people who were brought here as kids. There’s no pathway for them.""Can you do one simply explaining how HARD it is to get a tourist visa? My sister and I have dreamed of visiting NYC since we were kids. We're almost 30 now, and the tourist visa process takes about two years just to get interviewed about every possible private-life detail, get all our paperwork, phones, texts, and bodies examined, tons of pesos required, and the turnover rate is SO HIGH. I promise we would NEVER stay in the US," someone else shares.

The stress of job hunting crosses generational lines, but Gen Z is doing things a bit differently. Most of Gen Z is either just entering adulthood or has been there for some time. They are the first generation not to grow up with many analog developmental milestones, such as answering a house phone or asking strangers for help reading a map. These are all things that help develop social skills that can be used in other settings.A recent survey from Resumetemplates.com reveals a shocking trend. According to the resume-building website, of the 1,000 job seekers aged 18-23 surveyed, "77% say they have brought a parent to a job interview when they were job searching. About 13% say they always did, and 24% say they often did."The idea of bringing a parent to an interview may seem laughably outrageous to older generations, but there are a few things to consider before the giggling sets in. Young adults have long relied on their parents for guidance as they enter the adult world, and this is true of every generation. Parents are often called on for help with locating first apartments, learning how to turn on utilities, figuring out health insurance plans, and more.

I think that it really shows a lack of maturity in the kids, in the Gen Zers that are doing this." Toothacre added that while some smaller organizations may not see an issue with it, she does not believe it is the norm.In response to the survey, Bryan Golod, an award-winning job search coach, sees the results differently. Rather than piling on or dunking on a generation still trying to figure out adulthood, he offers a logical explanation for the phenomenon.In a LinkedIn post, Golod shares:"The internet is roasting this generation for lacking independence. But here's what everyone's missing: This isn't a Gen Z problem. It's a symptom of a broken system that never taught anyone how interviews actually work. Most professionals (regardless of age) have no idea how to interview effectively. I've worked with 50-year-olds who couldn't land a single offer after 30 interviews. I've coached VPs of HR who could help others but couldn't help themselves. Interview skills aren't taught in school, at work, or by parents. They're learned through trial, error, and usually a lot of rejection. The real issue isn't Gen Z bringing parents to interviews."The job search coach explains that employers often no longer train managers on how to conduct interviews or what to look for when interviewing candidates. He also notes that many job seekers expect their experience and competence to speak for themselves, but that does not always translate well in an interview setting. Golod encourages people to ask themselves if they know how to predictably turn interviews into job offers before mocking Gen Z adults.

The professionals landing multiple offers with significant salary increases? They learned the rules of the game," Golod explains. He adds that what truly matters in interviews is "not your credentials. Not your resume. Not even your qualifications. It's your ability to connect on a personal level and create a memorable experience. People bring you in based on data. They hire you based on emotion."Maybe some Gen Zers are doing it wrong by traditional standards, but just like riding a bike, unless someone takes the time to teach you, you will never truly learn. Otherwise, you are left with scraped knees and bruises while you try to teach yourself.
