Modern monetary theory (MMT) was, until relatively recently, an obscure set of economic ideas,  with the belief that the way most people think about economics — from mainstream economists to every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan — was wrong. The New York Times has called it “the buzziest economic idea in decades.”  The argument is that to approach the federal budget, deficit, and fiscal picture in the way one would approach the finances of their household or a business is wrong for a simple reason: The U.

So, in the last installment of our funtervention, I proposed that we adopt a new definition of fun—namely, that it’s the combination of playfulness, connection and flow. Not only do I think that this definition more accurately captures the feeling of fun than the traditional definition (i.e. that fun is simply “lighthearted pleasure or enjoyment”), but I believe that it corrects some of the misperceptions we have about fun.

“Finestkind” is exactly the sort of hefty, middling-budget movie people complain Hollywood doesn’t make anymore. It’s a gritty, unglamorous drama with a powerhouse cast — Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Foster and Jenna Ortega among them — plus an Oscar-winning writer/director, Brian Helgeland (“L.A. Confidential,” “Mystic River,” “42”). Except it’s not in any theaters, but only has been available on Paramount+. It will debut on digital platforms for rental March 26 and on DVD April 9.

Share At one point or another, everybody has a first garden. A lot of people get the bug, maybe when they go to a nursery and see some plants they like and figure it's time to start. Maybe you are about to start your first garden; or, you just moved into a new home that needs a lot of outdoor love. America’s Favorite Retired College Horticultural Professor, Debbie Flower, and I explored these “lessons learned the hard way” (aka “Garden Wisdom”) in Episode 183 of the Garden Basics with Farmer Fred podcast, while relaxing in Debbie’s backyard garden.

“Hellbender Nighttime Café is a New York City margarita bar where we offer fresh and delicious Margaritas, smart and thoughtful cocktails, freezer-cold options like Martinis and Negronis, and really fresh and delicious Mexican bar food.” —Tony Milici, General Manager and Beverage Director, Hellbender Nighttime Café When a team of mostly Gramercy Tavern alums first opened Rolo’s on the corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Cornelia Street in Ridgewood, Queens, in January 2021, what started primarily as a pandemic-era cafe evolved into a constantly buzzing, wood-fired-oven driven restaurant known for their polenta breads, housemade salumi, two-sheet lasagna verde bolognese, dry-aged steaks, and killer cheeseburger.

Hello and welcome to the weekend! Jer here. We’re going to keep this edition fun. My Friday podcast co-host Devon O’Reilly had a chance to stop in the new Library bar at the David Whitney Building, and snapped some photos to share. It replaces the old WXYZ bar, as the hotel has changed flags from an Aloft to Autograph Collection, a more upscale brand. Having traveled, I always thought the more modern feel of Aloft clashed with the David Whitney’s very historic vibes.

Before we get into my top 25 OL remaining on the board for day two of the draft, here are a few takeaways and thoughts from round one: There were nine offensive linemen selected in the first round of the draft last night, tying 2022 and 2013 for the most over the last 12 draft classes (since 2012). Eight of the nine are projected to play tackle (at least to start), which is the most over that same span.

Since I just started getting into playing MLB The Show when the ‘22 edition came out, my favorite mode has always been Road To The Show. Franchise mode was the only other game mode I played other than RTTS. That was until today. With the major league baseball season underway, I have been craving some additional baseball. I haven’t started Franchise mode yet (I will soon), and for whatever reason, my RTTS file corrupted, so I had to start a new RTTS.
