"The Eames chair is basically meme status," said Joel Vanderveen, a 35-year-old from Minnesota who created a subreddit about a decade ago dedicated to all things Eames. "Until the last 10 years, when people would say to me they had an Eames chair, I never knew which one they meant," Kirkham said. The Eames chair is one of those rare luxury goods that checks all those boxes for novices and experts alike, in his view. Not everyone with the Eames chair has a new one, an expensive one, or even a real one. The Eames chair seems eco-friendly, too — they're not going to be tossing it out in two years.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) looks on, following the Senate Democrats weekly policy lunch at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., November 28, 2023. "Today, too many Americans are exploiting arguments against Israel and leaping toward a virulent antisemitism. The normalization and intensifying of this rise in hate is the danger many Jewish people fear most," he wrote. The Senate leader planned to give a speech on antisemitism later on Wednesday. His comments came as the Senate planned to consider legislation including aid for Israel and Ukraine as soon as next week.

REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLOS ANGELES, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Veteran character actor Burt Young, best known and Oscar nominated for his role as the brother-in-law and meat-cutting friend to Sylvester Stallone's prize-fighting protagonist in the "Rocky" films has died at age 83, his manager said on Wednesday. The role of Paulie, who was also the brother of Rocky's painfully shy love interest and soon-to-be wife, Adrian (she marries Balboa in "Rocky II"), earned Young an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. Young reprised the Paulie role in all six of the original "Rocky" sequels. In later years, Young made a name as painter, whose works were displayed in galleries around the world.

☆ U.S. watchdog accuses Rep. George Santos of breaking campaign finance laws
  + stars: | 2023-01-09 | by ( Jason Lange | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
WASHINGTON, Jan 9 (Reuters) - A federal watchdog on Monday accused newly elected Republican U.S. Representative George Santos of breaking campaign finance laws by concealing funding sources and using donor money to pay rent on his personal residence. "The commission should thoroughly investigate what appear to be equally brazen lies about how his campaign raised and spent money," according to the complaint. Santos' office in Congress referred queries to the lawmaker's election campaign, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Campaign Legal Center said Santos' campaign finance disclosures also do not square with other disclosures he has made regarding his income and assets. "The overall circumstances instead indicate that unknown individuals or corporations may have illegally funneled money to Santos's campaign," according to the complaint.
☆ U.S. rents surge, leaving behind generation of younger workers

REUTERS/Amr AlfikySept 21 (Reuters) - The cost of renting a home in the United States is surging and young workers have felt the sharpest pain, many of them taking on additional jobs or roommates to afford housing costs. Household rents in 2021 jumped 10% from pre-pandemic levels, according to Census Bureau estimates released last week. The 23-year-old spent a year in an apartment in New York City's Queens borough with a door that wouldn’t lock. Recent college graduate Caleb Seamon, 22, started delivering for Uber Eats alongside his full-time job at a think-tank to afford housing. Even so, Seamon says he only found a New York apartment because one of his roommate's parents acted as guarantors.
