She had a PhD in psychology from Columbia.
The network handed her a stack of books on prizefighting.
It was 1955. Joyce Brothers was twenty-seven, newly married to a medical resident, and mother to a newborn. They lived in a freezing walk-up apartment on $50 a month. Rent was $75. They ate crackers for dinner and skipped meals to keep the heat on. She washed her hair with dish soap.
Universities wouldn’t hire her because she was a woman. Clinics wouldn’t hire her because she was a mother. Her profession had locked her out.
One night, desperate for money, she applied to a new CBS quiz show that was giving away huge sums. The producers liked her looks but rejected psychology. They offered her one category: boxing.
They assumed a petite blonde housewife would be gone in a week.
Joyce didn’t argue. She walked to the library in the freezing rain, checked out heavy volumes on boxing history, and carried them home.
For four weeks she barely slept. While her baby cried beside her, she memorized weights, reaches, referees, ring records, and obscure fights from the 1890s.
On live television, inside the isolation booth, she answered every question flawlessly. The sponsors panicked and made the questions harder. She still didn’t miss.
She won $64,000.
Then she used her sudden fame to get what she had wanted all along: her own television show.
By 1958, Dr. Joyce Brothers was on air talking about postpartum depression, anxiety, and marriage — subjects no one else would touch. When the network tried to cancel her for discussing menopause, she read viewer letters on camera. They backed down.
She had beaten the game they built for her to lose.
Dr. Joyce Brothers: the woman who memorized boxing to break into television — and then used it to help millions of women think about their own minds.

We are a tiny minority contributing to the world and improving lives. Always.

Dubliners, suggestions for a pub with a back room or space that can be rented/reserved, ground floor ideally cos of accessibility. Sunday afternoon into the evening.

I'm not fussy am I?

The lyrics of this new “Greenland Defense Front” video. 👌🏼

Just - WOW.
‘Epic’ doesn’t even begin to describe it.

At Minneapolis airport, @maitlis watches on as shackled ICE deportees board an aircraft.

"It's one of the most dystopian, the most chilling things, I think i've ever witnessed."

"The plane doesn’t have a name or number, it’s a 'dark plane' - it doesn’t officially exist."

In Cumbrian dialects, dandelion is dog-posy or pissibed. The floating seeds are called 'faeries' and it's lucky to catch one.
