On This Week's Feedback Friday:

  • Your abusive brother-in-law dragged your sister by her hair, has a traumatic brain injury linked to violence, and just bought a remote shack 5,000 kilometers from civilization — now he wants to move your sister and her kids out there. Are you overreacting, or is this a true-crime doc waiting to happen?
  • You and your wife adopted four kids from foster care — all with special needs from drug exposure and trauma — and your parents keep blaming their behavior on your parenting. Now they're sharing their opinions with other family members. How do you stand your ground while keeping the peace?
  • Your friend Lily started asking if you're better friends with her or Mary, accused Mary of "stealing friendships," and has confronted multiple people about their personalities. When you suggested therapy, she insisted she's already doing everything right. What do you do when someone's spiraling?
  • Recommendation of the Week: SlimFold Nano Soft Shell Minimalist Wallet
  • You read about the value of keeping goals to yourself — how silence can protect dreams from premature deflation — but at some point, you need to open up while networking and building relationships. So where's the line between strategic silence and sharing what you're working on?
  • Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!

what you're talking about? They ride up your crack and they make you look like a gym influencer. Right. Or a mother in a Pixar movie for some reason.

Yes, that is one of the funniest memes out there. So how Pixar mothers, for some reason,

what's a polite word here? The Pixar mom's mad thick. I actually did not realize that was even a thing until I saw those memes.

I clearly have not been watching Pixar movies.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be paying attention to the beautiful animation and excellent storytelling.

But people online like to point out that there be some freaks over at Pixar because all the moms and the movies have absolute dump trucks. There's a reason they win Oscars. And it's not geniuses like Michael Aren't, I could tell you that. Former show guest, no, no, it's not the world-class storytelling. It's the mom-butts.

the untold story of nuclear electricity and how it will save the world. We debunk myths and

misinformation about nuclear energy, talk about the many benefits of nuclear power from

powering cities to desalinating water with the smallest environmental footprint of any energy

Go nuclear.

And we talk about how our culture might be fumbling the bag a little bit on the cleanest,

most powerful energy source in human history.
