☆ Furniture flippers are getting roasted online for painting vintage wood pieces 'millennial gray'

How do you feel about painted furniture?" Halfpoint Images/Getty ImagesDemand is up for vintage wood furniture — without paintPart of the backlash certainly stems from the current state of the furniture industry, in which it's increasingly difficult to get your hands on brand-new, high-quality furniture. As a result, the secondhand furniture market is booming, with vintage furniture sellers proliferating on places like Instagram and Facebook Marketplace. The flippers said most of the hate comments tend to come from flips of midcentury modern furniture, in particular, a beloved and lasting design aesthetic from around roughly the 1930s to 1970s. Despite all the vocal online haters of painted furniture, there's a reason furniture flippers do it: the pieces sell.

As anyone who has lost a mother knows, Mother's Day is hard forever after. In the United States, Mother's Day was still a day away, but we had gotten to celebrate Mexican Mother's Day, always held on May 10.

AdvertisementHistorically, a hedge fund's chief investment office or senior portfolio manager was responsible for vetting and wooing key investment hires. They can also help hedge funds save on outside recruiting costs, which can add up to tens of millions a year. Hedge funds targeted institutional salespeople at investment banks with exposure to hedge funds, as well as asset allocators with chops in portfolio-manager selection and due diligence. Assets at multimanager hedge funds have boomed since 2018. The principle may work for fictional baseball diamonds, but the reality at hedge funds is more complicated.

The decision by New York’s top court on Thursday to overturn the conviction of Harvey Weinstein on sex crime charges raised many thorny legal questions. Perhaps chief among them: Will it bolster his chances of a successful appeal in a similar case in California? Mr. Weinstein’s lawyer in California, Jennifer Bonjean, plans to file that appeal next month, and has said she believes the New York decision helps her chances of winning. In both cases, prosecutors offered witnesses who said they had been assaulted by Mr. Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood producer, even though their accounts were not tied to criminal charges. The tactic was at the heart of the 4-to-3 decision on Thursday by New York’s Court of Appeals, which concluded that the judge who presided over Mr. Weinstein’s case in 2020 had deprived him of a fair trial by allowing those witnesses to testify.

☆ Simon Harris becomes Ireland’s youngest-ever leader

CNN —Simon Harris has become the youngest-ever prime minister of Ireland, officially taking office in Dublin on Tuesday after Leo Varadkar suddenly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, ran unopposed to replace Varadkar as leader of the ruling Fine Gael party, and the final formalities of his rise to power were completed in the Dáil, Ireland’s parliament. And we are seeing innocent children, women, and men being starved and slaughtered,” Harris told lawmakers in the Irish parliament. The son of a taxi driver, born in eastern Ireland, Harris studied journalism and French at a Dublin university but dropped out to instead focus on politics. As health minister, Harris was prominent when Ireland voted to legalize abortion.

Irish Times political correspondent Jennifer Bray was given less than an hour’s notice of the surprise statement from the taoiseach on Wednesday.

Courtesy of the authorI love taking my nieces and nephews travelingIt's a perk for the kids in my family; when they turn 12, Aunt Jen takes them on a weeklong international vacation. Jennifer Billock's niece and nephews will each help plan an international trip with her when they turn 12. These trips are different from the vacations they take with their parentsI take the role of the fun aunt very seriously. Even though I'm responsible for taking care of the kids on these trips, I try to make it less routine. So in that way, taking the kids on a trip makes my heart feel a little lighter.

In other words, the shuffling is where the action happens: the boisterous fun, the communal spirit, the all-important gossip. Not so for Jennifer Brown, whose post about her mom’s auto table has now garnered nearly 20 million views. Ms. Brown credits the table with inspiring her and her sisters to finally learn the Filipino style of mahjong her mother plays. “Before, when my mom would play it and mix the tiles by hand, it just didn’t seem as interesting,” she said. “But adding a table that shuffled for you and rolled the dice for you made it exciting to us.”

She's the mother of two NFL champions, and her son Travis will play in the Super Bowl on Sunday as his Kansas City Chiefs vie for another title. "The night before [a big game], I will text my sons and will give them a little encouragement, send them a little funny picture of when they were younger, depending on what team they're playing with or whatever," Kelce told TODAY on Wednesday. A little levity can go a long way in helping to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation, research shows. "I try not to bother them on game day because they're a little busy and I don't think I'm going to get through," said Kelce. For what it's worth, Travis recently claimed he has "no jitters" ahead of his third Super Bowl appearance, and his first since he started publicly dating pop star Taylor Swift.
