Journal Editorial Report: The week's best and worst from Kim Strassel, Bill McGurn and Jason Riley. Images: Zuma Press/Invision/AP Composite: Mark KellyJust when you thought Gen Z couldn’t get more annoying, it has a new trend: Lazy Girl Jobs. According to a 20-something self-styled life coach on TikTok, this entails leaning into, no, not exciting and meaningful careers—take that, Sheryl Sandberg—but low-stress, mostly or completely remote jobs paying $60,000 to $80,000 so that you can enjoy lives of non-work-focused safety and comfort. She recommends looking for openings like “Marketing Associate” and “Customer Success Manager” and in one video declares (if one can declare anything in a monotone): “The whole point is for us to go live our lives and be amazing humans.”

"Nothing is guaranteed, but the U.S. labor market continues to point toward a slower, but more sustainable pace of economic growth," Bunker said. "In many ways, the labor market of 2021 and 2022 was an anomaly and isn't really a good baseline for understanding what a sustainable and healthy labor market looks like," said Bunker. These videos are often still reviewed by recruiters and hiring managers, Rose said. "AI doesn't know your experience and ... the certain specific anecdotes that highlight why you're a great candidate," Rose said. Ask hiring managers how A.I.

But it was the tart, earthy, tingly, subtly sweet notes provided by the sumac and Aleppo pepper that made such a lasting impression. Extra-virgin olive oil, yogurt and feta cheese are dietary mainstays, along with seasonal produce, legumes, whole grains and lean proteins. Made from deep-red Halaby chile peppers, Aleppo pepper is named for the Syrian city where it once grew in abundance. Dukkah, a blend of nuts, seeds and warm spices, makes a savory, crunchy topping on everything from soups to salads. Baharat is just one of a combination of warm spices that can punch up a chicken dish the Mediterranean way.

New York CNN —ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is wondering if he too might soon be out of a job. ESPN’s cuts are only the latest layoffs across several media companies, including The Athletic, National Geographic and CNN. But a person familiar with the staff reductions at the sports network told CNN that ESPN’s layoffs were unconnected with Disney (DIS)’s larger layoff plans. Aside from those mentioned by Smith, cuts included “College GameDay” analyst LaPhonso Ellis and NFL sideline reporter Suzy Kolber. Smith also briefly touched on the issue of race in his discussion about feeling uncomfortable about his job security.

New York CNN —ESPN is laying off around 20 high-profile sports commentators as part of a cost-cutting initiative, a source with knowledge of the layoffs told CNN. “Given the current environment, ESPN has determined it necessary to identify some additional cost savings in the area of public-facing commentator salaries,” ESPN said in a statement. But the source stressed that the cuts were simply a matter of cost-cutting, and not related to job performance. Disney (DIS), which owns ESPN, is laying off 7,000 employees. The person familiar with the plans said that ESPN’s layoffs were unrelated to the broader layoffs at Disney (DIS).

Paris CNN —Since being launched in 2007, Paris’ public Vélib’ rental bikes have proven a hit with tourists and locals as a trouble-free way to get around the French capital, especially in summer when Metro trains are hot and crowded.

NYU Stern professor Suzy Welch told CNBC that "funemployment" shows a shift in how Gen Z views work. Welch said in an interview with CNBC that Gen Z — those born from mid-1990s to early 2010s — isn't afraid of unemployment like previous generations. Welch told CNBC that while Gen Z isn't promoting joblessness by choice, their perspective on the issue has shifted "far away" from that of previous generations. They think: 'We're going to be together for as long as we're together, then I'm going to be funemployed, and then I'm going to move on to my next engagement.'" However, Gen Z has indicated they're more concerned about work-life balance and less willing to put up with a toxic work culture.

CANNES, May 18 (Reuters) - French director Catherine Corsini said on Thursday she would work with intimacy coaches and do more to help young actresses in future films, after concerns were raised about an intimate scene with minors in her Cannes Festival entry "Homecoming". Corsini told journalists on Thursday she would take different decisions and call in experts to help actors prepare for sex scenes if she were faced with similar circumstances in the future. "Maybe I was being a bit pretentious, thinking I had 30-35 years of experience in my career and maybe I thought I had more experience than an intimacy coach. Corsini told Variety magazine on Tuesday that she ultimately cut the intimate scene from the final version "to calm everyone down and especially so that people would stop bothering the actors." Including Corsini, there are a record seven female directors competing for the Palme d'Or top prize this year.

A grapefruit-sized metallic object fell through the roof of a New Jersey home and dented the floor. Police who responded to the incident in Hopewell, New Jersey, believe the falling object may be a meteorite, possibly from the Eta Aquarids meteor shower, which peaked this weekend. The offending falling object, beside a dent it cracked in the hardwood floor. It's rare for these falling space rocks to hit buildings or people. He added that this falling object could be as old as the solar system: 4 to 5 billion years old.

CNN —What could be a meteorite struck a home in Hopewell Township, New Jersey, authorities said Monday. The Eta Aquariid meteor shower is an annual phenomenon in which debris from the famous Halley’s Comet rains down into Earth’s atmosphere.

Authorities in New Jersey said the possible meteorite that struck on Monday measured about 4 inches by 6 inches. A meteorite will be much heavier for its size than a typical Earth rock because it’s packed with dense metals.

When I was done, my friend opened the floor to questions and, much to my excitement, a line formed at the mic. Then came the first question: “You’ve had such a long career,” the student said. “Could you please tell us how you’ve avoided burnout? Like, what do you do for self-care?” As the student sat down, so did about half of the other students in the queue, signaling their question had been taken.
