☆ Opinion: A boast that could sink Trump
  + stars: | 2023-05-21 | by ( Richard Galant | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +20 min
We’re looking back at the strongest, smartest opinion takes of the week from CNN and other outlets. CNN —“I’m the one that got rid of Roe v. Wade,” former President Donald Trump boasted Tuesday on Newsmax. Congress has the power to rein in the court, wrote CNN legal analyst and law professor Steve Vladeck, whose new book “The Shadow Docket” focuses on the Supreme Court. Courtesy Boaz FreundIn 2019, then-President Trump issued an executive order requiring hospitals to post the prices of common medical services and procedures. For some, its celebration of a multiracial but purely fictional British aristocracy may even be a big part of its appeal.”As escapism, “Queen Charlotte” is a success.

☆ Elon Musk's super-app ambitions took an interesting turn with his first acquisition at Twitter
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The move speaks to a broader strategy Musk has hinted at of creating a US super app. While extremely popular in Asia, super apps haven't caught on in the US. There are multiple forces working against the success of a super app in the US, let alone one run by someone as polarizing as Musk. When I think of super apps, my mind goes toward pursuing users' wallets. And here's why industry experts remain unconvinced about Elon Musk's plans to turn Twitter into a super app.

☆ Martha Stewart on Becoming Sports Illustrated’s Oldest Swimsuit Cover Model
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Rory Satran | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Martha Stewart’s sex-symbol era began anew in her late 70s, when she posted a photo of herself on Instagram emerging from her East Hampton pool and called it a “thirst trap.” Since then, the CEO and mogul has reinvented herself from bumpkin to bombshell, more likely to attend gala events in luxe Hermès outfits and full makeup than to plant bulbs in khakis as she did in the 1980s. Today, she’s come full circle in her late-in-life glow-up by becoming the oldest woman to appear on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. “Is it a sex symbol, or is it a symbol of healthy living?” asked Ms. Stewart, 81, today. “We can hardly say sex symbol nowadays, right? Overt sex is kind of frowned upon.”
☆ Martha Stewart lands ‘historic’ Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover
  + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( Marianne Garvey | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
CNN —Martha Stewart is among the cover models for the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. The lifestyle businesswoman, 81, is the oldest swimsuit model the magazine has featured, calling the fact “historic.”“I like that picture,” Stewart said of her cover shot as she revealed it on Monday’s “Today” show. Stewart posed in the Dominican Republic for the shoot and appears in a total of ten looks. Stewart’s career began as a model at age 15, before she worked as a Wall Street stockbroker and later started a catering business, which grew into a lifestyle media company. Stewart’s more recent modeling with social media selfies have gained praise, particularly an image she shared of herself in a pool in 2020.
☆ At 81, Martha Stewart Is the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Cover Star
  + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( Ruth La Ferla | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
I had two months, basically, to make sure I felt good enough about the way I look. If I’d thought my waist was too big, or that I was too wobbly, I wouldn’t have done it. Also, I went to the tanning booth and had a very light spray tan, something I’ve never done. All these people were prodding me and talking about “the girls.” I have never called my breasts “the girls” in my life. It doesn’t have as much to do with blatant sex as with a self-assurance that started when I was a child.

"I've interviewed lots of celebrities and lots of local people," Rattiner told Insider, citing interviews with the likes of Donald Trump, Billy Joel, and Barbara Corcoran, as well as plenty of Long Island locals.
☆ Early-aughts 'It' girl Cory Kennedy entering her 'hipster Martha Stewart' era pretty much sums up how millennials are gearing up for middle age
  + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( Bartie Scott | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Cory Kennedy was the internet's first "It" girl as a teenager in the early aughts. "I want to garden, like a freaking hipster Martha Stewart," Kennedy told New York Magazine. It's a reminder of her time as "the internet's first 'It' girl," as New York Magazine dubbed her in a recent profile. In her recent article in The Atlantic, Twenge said millennials have experienced "a breathtaking financial comeback" since the mid-2010s. Even Martha Stewart jumped on the teenage-dirtbag train — though she could take some notes from Kennedy on the sleaze.

Each Jane was charged with 11 counts of abortion and conspiracy to commit abortion, with a possible sentence of up to 110 years in prison.
☆ TemperPack is making recyclable cold packaging for Martha Stewart-branded meal company Marley Spoon
  + stars: | 2023-04-18 | by ( Diana Olick | In Dianaolick | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Meal delivery kits really took off with the pandemic, and they're still gaining in popularity. Two years ago, fresh food meal kits were a $7 billion industry, and they're projected to become a $10 billion industry by 2024. Some considerable portion of that money is wasted on packaging to keep food cold. TemperPack is working with grocers, meal kit companies, bio-tech and online pharmacies -- basically, any business that previously used a styrofoam cooler for packaging. That was a big draw for Martha Stewart-branded meal maker Marley Spoon.
☆ Inside a shake-up at the world's 'most feared law firm'
  + stars: | 2023-03-30 | by ( Casey Sullivan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +30 min
It's been a tumultuous period for Quinn and the storied law firm he built over the past 37 years — now the world's largest litigation firm with hourly rates that can be north of $2,000. But behind the scenes, a shift at QE has been the talk of elite law firm circles. Indeed, the firm – known as a singular, even freewheeling, institution that brands itself as the "#1 Most Feared Law Firm in the World" — may appear to be less in the image of its founder as a generational shift brings changes. "We all thought it was important that the world understands this is not a one generation law firm." One former firm partner in California says he believes Quinn's inner circle generally got better deals.

Nadia Caterina Munno is the self-proclaimed The Pasta Queen. It’s a title she’s used over the past three years to accumulate a combined six million followers on various social-media platforms, where she posts boisterous, often ironic videos of herself prancing around in her enormous, blue steel and brass home kitchen, making Italian food and laughing at others’ attempts at making Italian food. But Ms. Munno, 40, is aiming much higher than TikTok celebrity. “I want to be the Italian Martha Stewart,” says Ms. Munno. Her cookbook made the New York Times bestseller list in November and she’s working on a second one.

[1/2] Television personality Barbara Walters arrives for the premiere of the film "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" in New York September 20, 2010. "I asked Yeltsin if he drank too much, and I asked Putin if he killed anybody," Walters told the New York Times in 2013. "These two men were really quite brutal to me and it was not pleasant," Walters told the San Francisco Examiner. The New York Times called her "arguably America's best-known television personality" but also observed that "what we remember most about a Barbara Walters interview is Barbara Walters." Walters' three marriages - to businessman Robert Katz, theatrical producer Lee Guber and television executive Merv Adelson - ended in divorce.

☆ Main Street is buying stocks while Wall Street sells: What gives?
  + stars: | 2022-12-20 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
But not all traders are on the same ride — the large, institutional investors on Wall Street have shuffled away from markets while Main Street’s retail investors are still strapped in. But despite this year’s lackluster market, investors bought $800 billion of Exchange Traded Funds which are baskets of stocks typically purchased by retail investors. However, Main Street is holding on to its stocks while Wall Street is running for the hills. One simple explanation is that institutional investors are responsible for vast amounts of money that belong to other people. “Respect, for retail investors, is in short supply,” wrote Azalea Micottis at Informa Financial Intelligence, in a recent note.

The most obvious potential candidates for a new Twitter CEO are the Musk lieutenants who have been helping to run the company since his takeover. Who is insane enough to run twitter?!?
