Cynthia Nixon On Changing Your Life in Middle Age: ‘What Are You Waiting For?'
This summer, Cynthia Nixon stars in two hit television shows as leading women confronting major life changes. Nixon navigates sexuality in midlife as Miranda Hobbes in 'And Just Like That.' Meanwhile, in the historical drama 'The Gilded Age,' Nixon returns as the newly widowed Ada Brook, who comes into an unexpected inheritance.
Nixon, 59, has lived through a few changes of her own, from becoming a director to watching her kids leave for college. But she says young women have a lot to look forward to in middle age. 'It's a time when you can return to yourself,' she says. 'In the same way adolescence [was] breaking away from your parents. This is a version of that, but hopefully with a little or a lot more wisdom.'

Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins Have Jumped Ship From ‘Dungeons & Dragons' to ‘Critical Role'.
Critical Role may have built its years of blockbuster success out of Dungeons & Dragons, but at this point the actual-play streamer's success has grown well beyond the game, from animated series to its own tabletop games. But now it's taken an even bigger step: by recruiting two of the biggest names of contemporary D&D design. This morning Critical Role confirmed that Jeremy Crawford, Wizards of the Coasts' former D&D principle rules designer, and Chris Perkins, former D&D senior story designer, had both joined the company's in-house gaming publisher, Darrington Press, to 'to help further its mission to create shared experiences through rich and imaginative storytelling.' Up until earlier this year, Crawford and Perkins had been two of the most prominent public faces at Wizards of the Coast when it came to D&D. They were stalwarts at the company for decades, and major creative figures who charted the game's design through creation of its 5th edition in 2014, D&D's monumental surge in popularity in the last decade, and then the release of the revised core ruleset for the game to mark its 50th anniversary. Perkins announced his departure from Wizards back in April, with Crawford announcing his own departure shortly after. 'Jeremy and Chris are visionaries,' Travis Willingham, Critical Role co-founder and CEO, said in a statement to press. 'They've guided much of this golden age of TTRPG design and philosophy, helping shape the way we play, connect, and imagine together. Their creativity, passion, and heart will only elevate everything we do at Darrington Press, and we couldn't be more excited for what this means for the Critters and the stories we continue to tell.' There's no details about Crawford and Perkins' current duties at Darrington Press, whether it involves management of the host of current games from the publisher or development of an entirely new one, but it's a wild changing of the guard that will see one of the biggest examples of D&D's massive growth over the past decade take on Wizards of the Coast so directly by taking on two of its most prominent contemporary architects.

Post Malone x Stanley collab finally brings camo to your favorite Stanley products
Stanley partnered with one of the most influential names in music right now: Post Malone. He collaborated on his own line of quenchers, lunch boxes, pint glasses and flasks, all with a nod to hardworking Americans. The new Post Malone x Stanley collection features the classics now with a camo pattern, and a new color: Hammertone Coyote Brown. Designed by Post Malone himself, the latest Stanley collection features camo everything. The collab is an ode to the American west, likely in part due to Post Malone's recent venture into the country music scene. Camo lovers rejoice, there's now a Stanley for you! The Post Malone x Stanley 40-ounce Quencher features a camo print designed by Post Malone. The hint of Blaze Orange is a dream for every hunter, cowboy and everyone in between. Also included is a Posty Co. keychain. The 40-ounce Quencher is a Stanley classic that keeps your drinks ice-cold for hours. You can use the straw or take it out, and the cup fits snuggly in any cupholder. The only way the Post Malone x Stanley Quencher gets better is when a Quencher pouch belt is included. The gun holster-looking Quencher Belt gives the Quencher a western vibe and adds a pocket where you can store keys, a lighter or other small belongings. The pouch snaps onto the Quencher and pops off when you just want the bottle. Go back to the good 'ole days with a Post Malone x Stanley bottle and lunch box set. The vintage-style lunch box comes in Hammertone Coyote Brown and Blaze Orange. It's an ultra-durable lunch box that latches securely and keeps your food and drinks safe. The classic bottle, also in Post Malone's new color, buckles into the top of the lunch box for easy carrying. You also get a Posty keychain with the lunch box set. Whether you're standing around a campfire, at a summer barbecue or relaxing on the couch, the Post Malone x Stanley stacking beer pint will keep your beer nice and cold. You get it in the same camo print as the Quencher. The cup can hold a pint of beer (16 ounces), keeping it crisp and cold even on the hottest nights. The Post Malone x Stanley easy fill flask fits right in your back pocket, making it the perfect companion when you're on the go. It's leakproof and has a wide opening that makes it easy to fill. Made from stainless steel, your drinks stay cold and there's no flavor transfer like you often get with plastic. Stanley is constantly releasing new colors and collaborations. Some recent ones include an additional Western-themed collection, just in time for summer, a customizable Stanley and accessories you can add to the Stanley you already have. Another Western-themed release is Stanley's summer collection, the Messa Rose collection. Featuring a paisley pattern in a coral, blue or polished gold, you'll feel like a regular cowboy (or girl) when you drink from this Quencher. Available soon is the Activate Shaker bottle, one of Stanley's newest creations. Thanks to the tiered design, you can infuse water and carry around a small snack. There's a removable strainer that helps you infuse your water with fruit or citrus without dealing with pulp or seeds. The removable base is also large enough to store protein powder or a small snack. With a leakproof Tritan lid, you can toss the cup in your bag without worrying. You can now customize your Stanley with a design you created, text or photos. The ProTour flip straw tumbler is just one of the many Stanleys you can add personalized customizations to. It has a built-in straw that flips up and down as needed, rather than Stanley's classic reusable straw. For more deals, visit If you already have a Stanley but are itching for another accessory, the All Day Quencher Carry-All is a carrying case for your Quencher. It comes with a body strap that fits over your shoulder or across your chest, pockets for your phone, sunglasses or keys and another mesh pocket for other belongings. The attached carabiner clip is another place where you can clip your must-have items, making the Carry-All an ideal bag alternative as well as a case for your bottle.
