Not far-fetched joke we cut from this episode: Trump replacing Powell with Jim Cramer. The Fed's independence is in serious peril, like the rest of the U.S. economy. www.npr.org/2025/03/04/1...

If you have a few minutes, listen to my colleague Adrian Ma speak about his incredibly talented girlfriend, Kiah, who died in the D.C. plane crash. Incredible resilience to speak through something this unimaginable. www.npr.org/2025/02/12/n...

I had fun at the movies this weekend and am enjoying reading everyone’s hot takes. That’s why the trailers before both Barbie and Oppenheimer were so disappointing (TMNJ, Exorcist 2, Expendables) all big budget reboots or sequels of stuff we’ve seen ad nauseam.
