Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:21:15 GMT

Not every sex session will be mind-blowing! And if an uneventful sexy time is going to be the case, there’s no shame in wanting to just skip it. However, that is the case for some Americans — only 36% of the ones polled by OnePoll (that LELO commissioned) rated their sex life as “excellent.”So, what do some Americans do to keep things spicy in the bedroom?How important is it to have a healthy sex life?Most of us already know — and even experts agree — that a great sex life plays an important role in a relationship. It’s widely believed that when a couple makes time for intimacy, it can lower stress levels and blood pressure, it can lead to better communication with their partner, and can even decrease the chances of getting a divorce. Unfortunately, among the 5,000 Americans that were surveyed, only 36% ranked their sex life as exceptional.This doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re miserable either. In a statement by Luka Matutinovic (Chief Marketing Officer of LELO), they stated, “...

The studio that Josie Cotton and I built in our garage when we were dating, City Lab, I recorded it all there. At the end of the recording, Meredith brought in another woman who became her permanent manager. That woman brought Perry Watts-Russell from Capitol. He signed her on the spot, on that one song.

What to watch: ‘Blindspotting’ back with more laughs, drama and Bay Area scenery

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:21:15 GMT

The Bay Area takes center stage in two series dropping this week, the second season of “Blindspotting” and the Apple TV+ thriller “The Last Thing He Told Me.”We also have what might be the best animated feature of 2023, and a Michelle Williams performance that deserves Oscar chatter. We even have a cult classic in the making.Here’s our roundup.“Blindspotting Season 2”: From summoning up the energy to throw a birthday party for her son Sean (Atticus Woodward) in Tilden Regional Park to a challenging 48-hour visit with her husband Miles (Rafael Casal) at San Quentin, Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones) is trying to keep from unraveling. That’s at the soul of the second season of Starz’ Oakland-set “Blindspotting,” a Bay Area favorite that succeeds where previous series have failed — showing the everyday struggles of families with loved ones in prison. And it does so with a mix of drama and comedy. East Bay natives Casal and Daveed Diggs are the creators behind the show as well a...

California announces multi-state settlement with Juul over marketing vaping to kids

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:21:15 GMT

California and five other states announced a nearly half-billion-dollar settlement Wednesday with e-cigarette giant Juul Labs to resolve accusations that the company promoted addictive nicotine vaping to teens.California will receive a total of $175.8 million — the highest amount of any state settlement yet reached with Juul — of the $462 million total settlement amount, Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office said. The money will help the state pay for e-cigarette research, education, and enforcement efforts, and Juul will also will be barred from targeting youths in its advertising and promotions under the terms of the deal.“Today is another step forward in our fight to protect our kids from getting hooked on vaping and nicotine,” Bonta said. “By using advertising and marketing strategies to lure young people to its products, JUUL put the health and safety of its vulnerable targets and the California public at risk. Today’s settlement holds JU...

Bay Area senator’s social media addiction bill advances in narrower form

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:21:15 GMT

By Joel Rosenblatt | BloombergA California bill seeking to hold social media companies legally responsible for addicting young users to their platforms advanced, clearing an initial hurdle after it was amended to allow lawsuits only by public prosecutors.The legislation, which has drawn strong opposition from the tech industry, would prohibit companies such as Meta Platforms Inc., Snap Inc., TikTok Inc. and Google from designing social media to hook users younger than 18 years old and provides for penalties of up to $250,000 for each violation.Tuesday’s 8-0 vote by a Senate committee in the state capitol in Sacramento is just the first of several needed to get the measure on the desk of California Governor Gavin Newsom. As introduced in February by Nancy Skinner, a Democratic senator whose district is in Berkeley and Oakland, the bill would have let parents sue the companies within four years of alleged harms.But Skinner agreed during Tuesday’s hearing to a revision that authorizes ...

Taste-Off: The best cinnamon-raisin bagels on supermarket shelves

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:21:15 GMT

A freshly made cinnamon raisin bagel is a perfect morning bite. It’s fragrant, moist, chewy and just a tiny bit sweet. Add butter or cream cheese, and it’s a satisfying and substantial breakfast.The problem is that a lot of bagels — particularly those sold in grocery stores — are simply not all that they should be, mainly because manufacturers of packaged bagels often omit critical steps in the bagel-making process.Great bagels require good gluten development, adequate resting time, a boiling water or steam bath and a high-temperature bake. Skip one step, and the result is a bad bagel — a round of bland, soft, cakelike bread, or a dense, dry puck that’s hard to choke down.When shopping for bagels, look for plump, non-wrinkly rounds with a shiny, glossy surface and just a small hole in the center. If it’s properly made, it will not only have a shiny skin on the outside, but it will bounce back to shape readily when gently squeezed. It’s also a good idea to check for high protein cont...
