Will Smith was a grade above Colman Domingo at their Philadelphia high school, already performing with Jazzy Jeff at the Wynn Ballroom. Domingo, meanwhile, was a self-described nerd who never went to dances, barely knew the social scene existed, and didn't tear up a dance floor until his second year of college.

The two friends recreate the memory of their first real meeting: not words, but dancing at an Emmy Night Before party, a DJ killing it, and two people who immediately recognized each other as serious dancers. Colman grew up in a household where New Year's Eve parties in the carpeted basement were a ritual, and his mother danced in grocery store aisles right up until her death. [1] — Amy Poehler "Amy and Colman first bonded nonverbally on a dance floor at an Emmy Night Before party. Their shared Gen X approach to dancing — full-body,…" 18:43 Amy connects dance to social anxiety relief — 'I'd rather dance than talk.' They discover a mutual touchstone in Philadelphia's Dance Party USA, the suburban American Bandstand on which Kelly Ripa got her start, and agree that their shared Gen X approach to dancing — trying to hurt somebody — is now a trending TikTok comparison with Gen Z's minimal movement.
Amy and Colman first bonded nonverbally on a dance floor at an Emmy Night Before party. Their shared Gen X approach to dancing — full-body, take-no-prisoners movement — is even going viral on TikTok, where the contrast with barely-moving Gen Z is a whole trend.
Colman Domingo's sister's fondest memory of their late mother Edith is that she was dancing in the aisles of a Pathmark grocery store just one week before her death in 2006.
Amy Poehler noted a TikTok trend comparing Gen X and Gen Z dancing styles, with Gen X clearing the dance floor in full-body moves while Gen Z barely moves.
Colman Domingo attended the same Philadelphia high school as Will Smith, who was one grade above him and performed with Jazzy Jeff at the Wynn Ballroom.
Erin Brockovich describes data center expansion as 'a full-on assault' hitting communities across water, electricity, noise, air pollution, and land loss. She calls it the biggest bipartisan conversation she's seen in her 30-year career — and warns that tech companies didn't see the coming backlash.
Demanding an emergency fund balance on a first date is the wrong approach. What you're really looking for is someone with character, maturity, and a direction — not a perfect financial snapshot. You can build a budget in 20 minutes; you can't build character that fast.
The fear of not being financially ready to have children is almost always a failure to run the real budget. On $110K a year, you can afford a child. What you can't afford is the fantasy nursery, the bigger car, and staying home on one income without a plan.
You've already said enough. The enabling, the financial dysfunction, the fear it'll land in your lap — if you can't say yes with full confidence, the answer is no. Tell Mom to rent a cheap one-bedroom, sell her house, and buy a condo near the grandkids instead.
Bobby watching a father hold his baby triggered an existential moment: he and Andrew might be missing fatherhood. They priced out adoption ($40K–$70K private, $0–$2K foster care) and briefly considered adopting a child to timeshare like a condo.
In 1950, 60% of the world lived in extreme poverty. Today it's roughly 1 in 10. Capitalism and economic growth did that — nothing else has ever worked at scale. The challenge now isn't generating enough wealth; it's building the political will to distribute it.
The manosphere begins with genuinely useful advice — get fit, be ambitious, find a partner. But it rapidly devolves into dominance, misogyny, and crypto university grifts. The most famous manosphere figures are running $50-a-month Ponzi schemes, exploiting the very loneliness they pretend to cure.
Throughout human history, only 40% of men have ever reproduced. Romantic success has never been guaranteed — it has always required effort, self-development, and resilience. The incel movement's core lie is telling men they're owed something that no man has ever been owed.
The most common word Scott Galloway has heard in his life is no. That's not a failure — it's the mechanism through which great yeses are earned. For shy young men, the path forward is simple: approach people, accept rejection, repeat. Resilience to discomfort is the only real competitive advantage.
