According to the Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of New York, consumer inflation expectations ticked higher once again, and ongoing employment expectations also decayed. All surveyed metrics remain reasonably within near-term averages, but a building sense of dread continues to weigh on consumers at the aggregate level underlines how much the Trump administration’s roughshod policy approach, specifically where trade and business are concerned, is having a detrimental effect on the US’s domestic economy.Key highlightsMedian inflation expectations rose to 3.2% over the next 12 months and remained unchanged at 3.0% and 2.9% for the 3-year and 5-year time horizons, respectively.Consumers saw only…

We’ve long used the French word milieu in Eng­lish, but not with quite the same range of mean­ings it has back in France. For exam­ple, French soci­ety (and espe­cial­ly the mem­bers of its old­er gen­er­a­tions) explic­it­ly rec­og­nizes the val­ue of a milieu in the sense of the col­lect­ed friends, acquain­tances, and rela­tions with whom one has reg­u­lar and fre­quent con­tact. Keep­ing a good milieu is a key task for liv­ing a good life. Robert Waldinger does­n’t use the word in the new hour-long Big Think video above, but then, he comes from a dif­fer­ent cul­tur­al back­ground: he’s Amer­i­can, for one, a…

Last fall, a Norwegian psychology professor named Lars Dehli was asked to give a lecture on intelligence. It had been a while since he had taught the topic, so he looked forward to revisiting it. As he explained in ​an essay​ about the experience, he decided to start the lecture by discussing the so-called Flynn Effect—the well-known phenomenon, first observed by James Flynn, whereby measured IQ scores have been steadily increasing since World War II. “It’s always fun to tell students that their generation is the smartest people who have ever lived,” Dehli wrote. But as he gathered data to…

DWTS’ Jenna Johnson Says She Hasn’t Seen Partner Corey Feldman Since Cast RevealCorey Feldman realized it takes two to tango.  The Goonies alum reunited with his Dancing With the Stars partner Jenna Johnson after she admitted that she hadn’t seen him since they got paired up for season 34 of the reality TV show on Sept. 3.  In a photo shared to Instagram Stories Sept. 8, Jenna—rocking a white tank top, black yoga pants and sneakers—posed for a mirror selfie in a dance studio while leaning on the shoulder of Corey, who rocked green joggers, a grey T-shirt and a…

At a Davos-like gathering inside a cavernous marble mine, global elites in dinner dress enjoy a tweezer-precise amuse-bouche and a performance of Cerrone’s all-time Italodisco banger ​“Supernature” by Charli XCX, when the performance is interrupted by a cadre of pagan eco-warriors led by Anya Taylor-Joy with white Scandi sniper suit, assault rifle, and red headband over Greta Thunberg bangs, striding forward in the strobe light – it’s a radical-chic showpiece you’d expect from the new film by Romain Gavras, who directed the music video for ​“Bad Girls” for M.I.A. back before the nanoparticles got to her.Introduced lying on the ground listening to the earth (“Mother,” she says…

The 30th anniversary of Tommy Boy was recently commemorated in Sandusky, Ohio, with the first Tommy Boy Fest. I was sorry to have missed this event since the schedule looked like a blast, complete with Q&A with Director Peter Segal and Julie Warner (“prettiest gal in Sandusky”), a comedy show with Kevin Farley, and a Tommy Want Wingy throwdown. Although Tommy Boy was filmed in Canada, the movie was based in the city of Sandusky and if this festival becomes an annual event, my family will definitely be traveling there next year. My kids love Tommy Boy (and Chris Farley)…

England’s recent triumph over South Africa in the third ODI showcased the most dominant display in cricket history. The match, held at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, saw England post a commanding score of 414-5, leading to a crushing victory by 342 runs. South Africa’s batting lineup crumbled dramatically, collapsing to 18-5 early in their innings and eventually being bowled out for just 72 runs in 20.5 overs. Despite England already losing the series 2-0, Jacob Bethell‘s maiden professional century of 110 and Jofra Archer‘s devastating 4-18 bowling figures created cricket history. This victory not only broke India‘s previous record…

Scotland boss Steve Clarke saluted his side’s ‘solid start’ after a 2-0 win over Belarus kept them unbeaten in World Cup qualifying. An instinctive finish from Che Adams and a second-half own goal were enough for the Scots to win a game they dominated. Scotland are only behind Denmark by one goal after two games with two home games coming up – but Clarke remains cautious as he chases a first World Cup finals since 1998. He said: “It was a tough night. We kept prodding, doing what we wanted to do. The message was just to stay patient and…

If this were the year for the Montreal Canadiens to take the next step in their plan, then they would have to move on from Carey Price and his contract. That is precisely what Canadiens GM Kent Hughes did on Friday. He traded Price’s contract to the San Jose Sharks along with a fifth-round pick in exchange for Gannon Laroque. The last time Carey Price played a game was at the end of the 2021-22 season. He went out with a win on April 29, 2022. That was the perfect way to go out. Price had been dealing with a…
