In the United States, close to 10% of the population has depression, but sometimes it can take a long time for someone to even understand that they have it.
One difficulty in diagnosis is trying to distinguish between feeling down and experiencing clinical depression. This TED-Ed video from December 2015 can help make the distinction. With simple animation, the video explains how clinical depression lasts longer than two weeks with a range of symptoms that can include changes in appetite, poor concentration, restlessness, sleep disorders (either too much or too little), and suicidal ideation. The video briefly discusses the neuroscience behind the illness, outlines treatments, and offers advice on how you can help a friend or loved one who may have depression.
Unlike the many pharmaceutical ads out there with their cute mascots and vague symptoms, the video uses animation to provide clarity about the mental disorder. It’s similar in its poignant simplicity to the HBO short documentary “My Depression,” based on Liz Swados’ book of the same name.
When San Francisco photographer Lisa Robinson was about to have her second child, she was both excited and nervous.
Sure, those are the feelings most moms-to-be experience before giving birth, but Lisa’s nerves were tied to something different.
She and her husband already had a 9-year-old son but desperately wanted another baby. They spent years trying to get pregnant again, but after countless failed attempts and two miscarriages, they decided to stop trying.
Of course, that’s when Lisa ended up becoming pregnant with her daughter, Anora. Since it was such a miraculous pregnancy, Lisa wanted to do something special to commemorate her daughter’s birth.
So she turned to her craft — photography — as a way to both commemorate the special day, and keep herself calm and focused throughout the birthing process.
Normally, Lisa takes portraits and does wedding photography, so she knew the logistics of being her own birth photographer would be a somewhat precarious new adventure — to say the least.
“After some thought,” she says, “I figured I would try it out and that it could capture some amazing memories for us and our daughter.”
In the end, she says, Alec was supportive and thought it would be great if she could pull it off. Her doctors and nurses were all for Lisa taking pictures, too, especially because it really seemed to help her manage the pain and stress.
In the hospital, she realized it was a lot harder to hold her camera steady than she initially thought it would be.
“Eventually when it was time to push and I was able to take the photos as I was pushing, I focused on my daughter and my husband and not so much the camera,” she says.
“I didn’t know if I was in focus or capturing everything but it was amazing to do.”
The shots she ended up getting speak for themselves:
“Everybody was supportive and kind of surprised that I was able to capture things throughout. I even remember laughing along with them at one point as I was pushing,” Lisa recalled.
In the end, Lisa was so glad she went through with her experiment. She got incredible pictures — and it actually did make her labor easier.
Would she recommend every mom-to-be document their birth in this way? Absolutely not. What works for one person may not work at all for another.
However, if you do have a hobby that relaxes you, figuring out how to incorporate it into one of the most stressful moments in your life is a pretty good way to keep yourself calm and focused.
Expecting and love the idea of documenting your own birthing process?
Take some advice from Lisa: “Don’t put pressure on yourself to get ‘the shot'” she says, “and enjoy the moment as much as you can.”
Following a spat of online rumors claiming that Euphoria had cancelled, HBO released a statement where the premium channel denied that it had pulled the plug on the Sam Levinson-created series. However, the network did confirm that Season 3 has been delayed and won’t premiere some time in 2025.
Despite HBO’s assurance that Season 3 was still arriving, theories that the show might be cancelled persist. Adding to that speculation is HBO confirming that the cast has been free to pursue other projects in the interim. Several of them, including Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi, have blossomed into full-blown movie stars. Aligning their schedules will be no easy feat.
One of the biggest stars of Euphoria is, of course, Zendaya. While promoting her new movie, Challengers, she was asked about the chances of Season 3 returning, and her response wasn’t confidence-inspiring.
Although the “Euphoria” star is an executive producer of the hit HBO series, she said she’s “not in charge” of whether or not the third season will really happen. But of course Zendaya wants to play Rue again.
“If it’s right for the characters and everything turns out the way it should, of course,” Zendaya told me at the “Challengers” premiere in Los Angeles Tuesday night. “But it’s beyond me.”
Zendaya’s diplomatic response arrives on the heels of reports that the actress was not thrilled with the initial scripts for Season 3 that saw her character, oddly, becoming a private eye. According to Variety, Zendaya later pitched a storyline where a now-sober Rue became a pregnancy surrogate. However, that idea was also reportedly scrapped as the scripts couldn’t find a fitting tone, and Season 3 was ultimately delayed.
Christina Applegate is coming off three seasons of Dead To Me success, which kicked her career into another gear. The accolades were well-earned, and I hope that Applegate has taken a page from her character regarding the therapeutic value of rage metal because, honestly, that remains one of the most relatable parts of that Netflix series. (She has also admitted to some well-placed frustrations, so metal might be rad there, too.)
What’s also relatable? Applegate revealed that, at one point about a decade ago, she was approached — possibly in an attempt to capitalize upon her Married… With Children run — to join the The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, but she declined the offer. Recently on the MeSsy podcast that Applegate co-hosts (with Jamie-Lynn Sigler), she revealed why that wouldn’t have been a good fit for her, and a franchise producer recently agreed. Via Page Six:
“And he’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, we asked you.’ I said, ‘Chris [Cullen, producer], now that you know me, would I have been a fun ‘Housewife’?’ He’s like, ‘No, it would’ve been the most boring s–t I’ve ever seen in my life.’”
“I wouldn’t have shown up to any dinners,” the “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” star shared. “I would’ve been in my sweatpants, and I’d be lying in bed. What fun is that? No, none of that … I would be the worst ‘Housewife’ anyway.”
Hmm, hanging out in sweatpants/yoga pantsor engaging in drama? That’s not a tough choice to make on multiple levels. Hopefully, we’ll be able to see much more of Applegate in special appearances like these, too. She has also been very frank about her ongoing MS experiences on the podcast, and surely, Applegate must be relieved to not have spent part of her acting years on a reality TV show. There’s always room for that later, if she so chooses.
Did you know that Beyoncé is a hardcore South Carolina Gamecocks fan? Apparently, she watched and supported the Dawn Staley-coached team all the way through the NCAA Women’s basketball tournament with her family and enjoyed them so much, she sent Staley a bouquet of flowers to commemmorate the team’s historic, undefeated season and championship win. Staley shared “a video thank you” to Beyoncé as she showed off the gift — which included Cowboy Carter merchandise, naturally — and read the card.”If you know, you know,” she said.
To Coach Staley and the entire South Carolina Gamecocks,
Me and my family watched your games and cheered you on through the entire season. I am so proud of you.
Staley also shouted out all the family members, and noted, “I’ve been in the South for 16 years. I’m a little country too.”
The delightful moment is just one in an endless procession of moments that prove that women’s basketball has arrived this year — and one of the few in which a high-profile voice actually congratulated the winners of the tournament, rather than a certain player on the runners-up.
Beyoncé’s bouquets are well known in the music industry; she has sent them to Cowboy Carter collaborators like Mickey Guyton and Jack White and actresses like Sheryl Lee Ralph for her Abbott Elementary Emmy win, but this is first time she’s sent one to an athlete (she gave Serena Williams a special Gatorade commercial in 2022 upon her retirement, unless she got them and didn’t tell us!) or coach.
The actor-to-psych-rock pipeline is weirdly niche yet more common than you might think. There was Joe Keery, the Stranger Things actor who played in Post Animal until 2019. Now, we have Caleb Landry Jones, who has been in films like Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Get Out, and The Florida Project, heading down that pipeline. Jones’ fourth album, Hey Gary, Hey Dawn, opens with the one-two punch of “Hey Dawn” and “Too Sharp To Be My Carrot,” which respectively echoes In Utero-era Nirvana and Congratulations-era MGMT.
But what would a psych-rock album truly be without a late-career-Beatles-meets-Elephant 6 homage? Songs like “Corn Mine” and “Spot A Fly” accomplish exactly that. Jones doesn’t shy away from his influences, leaning into the playful, off-kilter reference points he faithfully conjures. And judging from what he lists as his hidden talents, he transfers that irreverent whimsy into his persona, too.
Following the album’s release earlier this month, Jones sits down with Uproxx to discuss how his mother inspired his music, levitating on water, and why Switchfoot was the best concert he has ever seen in our latest Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
Inane, predictable, and colorfully coherent.
It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
Doesn’t matter.
Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?
My mother. She’s the first person I saw music transform.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life and what was it?
Hard to say, I have had so many.
Tell us about the best concert you’ve ever attended.
I saw Switchfoot in Dallas when I was a teenager. I liked his hair.
What song never fails to make you emotional?
The theme that plays during the opening credits for the film Catch Me If You Can.
What’s the last thing you Googled?
Hey Gary, Hey Dawn album reviews.
Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?
Never been on tour. Working on it though.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform and what’s the city you hope to perform in for the first time?
Our show in Brooklyn felt good. We’re excited to make it over to France, Germany, Australia, Japan, and Italy someday.
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
Nothing, he’s doing what he’s supposed to. It’s all a part of it. Wouldn’t change a damn thing.
What’s one of your hidden talents?
I can levitate in water. I can see the moon from the ground when she shows herself. I can hear the worms wiggle and find beauty in a little lost bee.
If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, what cause would you support and why?
There’s so many, I’d probably start one myself. Education is the key.
What are your thoughts about AI and the future of music?
HAHAHA. Radiohead comes to mind.
You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location it would be held.
Mmmmmm. Since this is a dream, they’re all a bit boney but wow, how marvelous it would be. Honestly though, I have no idea. The band I have now is the shit.
Who’s your favorite person to follow on social media?
Not sure if i use it in that way. It’s nice seeing what your friends are up to randomly. Otherwise it’s promotion, promotion, promotion. “Everyone’s a star, a star!”
What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?
I’ve got so many freckles, the best I could do would be to connect em.
What is your pre-show ritual?
Make a setlist.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Ingrid Bergman, Jessica Rabbit, Cat Woman and Harley Quinn.
You have a month off and the resources to take a dream vacation. Where are you going and who is coming with you?
Hopefully I’m doing something. Looking to make a record in France. I hope to do one in Australia. I hope to do one in Vienna. Mexico would be a dream. Japan and China would be sawtooth wild. Nashville would be fun to try and hold down. I’m hoping to not be alone for any of it. Here’s hoping one of these things happen.
What is your biggest fear?
You don’t know till it’s on top of you. There’s always a bigger one out there.

In the video for “Drink N Dance” from their new album We Still Don’t Trust You, Future and Metro Boomin turn a Broadway theater into a steamy rave. Posted up outside the historic Los Angeles Theatre — I bet you didn’t know LA had a Broadway too — Future performs part of his verse in a T-shirt reading “I Am The Bad Guy.” He continues to sing and rap amid intercuts of the venue being filled with scantily clad women and extreme closeups as he gets intimate with them.
The song is a more peaceful example from the producer-rapper duo’s recent output, which has drawn most of their attention from the war-ready contributions of collaborators ASAP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, and The Weeknd. On the first installment of the double album, We Don’t Trust You, Kendrick Lamar lit into Drake and J. Cole for “sneak dissin’” him on their song “First Person Future,” while on songs from the more recent release, ASAP Rocky and The Weeknd both had words for their Canadian former collaborator.
Future and Metro are preparing to take this dichotomy on the road with their We Trust You Tour, which begins at the end of July and runs through early September.
The New Orleans Pelicans came incredibly close to the 7-seed in the Western Conference on Tuesday night, losing 110-106 at home to the Lakers. The Pelicans erased a double-digit deficit and clawed their way back into a tie game in the fourth quarter thanks to a tremendous performance from Zion Williamson.
The at times maligned forward put forth arguably the best game of his career, scoring 40 points and pulling down 11 rebounds in 36 minutes of action. Unfortunately for New Orleans, that was four minutes too few, as he suffered an injury that forced him to leave the game in the fourth quarter and missed the final four minutes of action after leading the charge to tie the game at 95-95. Without him, the Pelicans battled, but just didn’t have enough firepower to keep up with the Lakers down the stretch.
Williamson’s injury was initially called “leg soreness” which didn’t do him any favors as it brought his toughness into question by the TNT desk. However, it was eventually revealed to be a hamstring strain, with the team announcing on Wednesday that Williamson will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that forward Zion Williamson has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain. An MRI taken this morning confirmed the injury. Williamson will be re-examined in approximately two weeks. pic.twitter.com/efY3f2Kq0X
That obviously precludes him from playing in Thursday’s Play-In finale against the Kings for the 8-seed, and should they win that game, he will miss most, if not all, of a first round series against the Thunder. That’s a huge blow for the Pelicans, particularly given the way Williamson has been playing to close out this season. He had finally seemed to reach his best form, dominating opponents with his explosiveness and finishing, only to see another injury derail a positive stretch.
The lineup for the first weekend of Coachella 2024 was stacked, but that was especially true when you look at all the surprise guests who popped up across the festival’s various stages. Among the big-name artists to unexpectedly take the stage was Billie Eilish, who popped up to perform Eilish’s “Ocean Eyes” and Del Rey’s “Video Games” with Del Rey.
People with tickets for the second weekend surely have some FOMO over this, so now let’s ask the question:
Will Billie Eilish Perform At Coachella 2024 Weekend 2?
Well, as we said, Eilish performed with Del Rey during the fest’s first weekend, so it’s clearly not something she’s opposed to doing. Another perspective, though, could be that she’s already made one Coachella surprise appearance this year, so maybe she’s had her fill and won’t do it again for the second weekend.
Beyond the Lana cameo, though, Eilish also did a surprise DJ set during the first weekend. So, perhaps that’s something she would enjoy doing again, or perhaps it was just an opportunity she latched onto while she was already around for the Del Rey appearance.
Whatever the case may be, that’s the information we have to go off of. Whether Eilish turns up for the second weekend or not, there’s still plenty to look forward to in terms of scheduled performers, like new lineup addition Kid Cudi.
