AdvertisementCheng says he has never worked a corporate job; he's always been a comedian and an online poker player. Jason RoederBut this snark, typically found on X, has seeped into LinkedIn, a much rosier, earnest platform. Roeder quit X and started writing joke posts on LinkedIn about a year ago, he said, after becoming "disillusioned" with what X has become. LinkedIn posts can expose just as much about one person's struggle to find work as they can about another's boasted success. Cheng said the posts had helped him to get comedy gigs, but they've also unlocked new work on the platform itself: as a LinkedIn ghostwriter for executives.

CLEVELAND — The baseball gods work in the shadows, scripting moments and matchups and sequences that we couldn’t begin to fathom. Take, for instance, the night of June 26, when Matthew Boyd just so happened to flip on a Cleveland Guardians game to gauge the pulse of the team desperate for his services. But in late June, shortly before Noel arrived, he suffered an elbow injury that the Guardians have kept discreet. “I’m like, ‘No, I’m just not hitting well, Dad,’” Fry said. This was the baseball gods working overtime to deliver us October goodness, a beautiful blend of tangled storylines and jaw-dropping momentum shifts.

CNN —Tennis legend Serena Williams says she recently underwent surgery to remove a branchial cyst “the size of a grapefruit” from her neck. Williams said she found the lump back in May and initially opted against surgery after several tests confirmed it was benign. In a video posted to TikTok, the 23-time grand slam champion said she is “feeling good” after the surgery and recorded herself going shopping with daughter Olympia. And yes, all is OK.”Williams said she missed Rafael Nadal announcing his retirement while she was undergoing surgery. Williams also won 14 grand slam doubles titles with sister Venus and four Olympic gold medals.

SYDNEY, Australia — King Charles, the only British monarch who has spent time living in Australia, arrives on Friday for his inaugural visit to an overseas realm as sovereign, his first major foreign trip since being diagnosed with cancer. It is embarrassing that Australians are subjects of the king, Keneally said in an interview, adding that this was no fault of King Charles, who has said a republic is a matter for Australians to decide. “I hope he is OK on this tour because he has that cancer,” Keneally said. Jan Hugo shows off her collection of memorabilia of the British royal family, near the town of Cessnock, Australia, on Tuesday. “When we drank to Australia, we drank to the Queen of Australia, and I felt that didn’t represent who we were,” he said.

☆ Just ignore the word ‘tariff’ — it’s a tax
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-16 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Especially when you hear words like “tariffs.”But, given the economy’s central importance in the 2024 race, it’s worth hammering on an Econ 101 fact: Tariffs are a tax on Americans. Very simply: When the US government decides to put a tariff (read: tax) on, say, Chinese goods, the actual money going to the US Treasury comes from the American company doing the importing. “To me, the most beautiful word in the dictionary is tariff,” Trump said at one point. But it’s important to judge Trump’s first-term trade policies and the Biden-Harris approach against context of the unprecedented tariff wave Trump is planning if he gets to Round Two. Bottom line: Tariffs might be a beautiful word to Trump’s ear, but he’s telling a fictional story about what they do in practice.

Jorge Argota, 35, runs his own digital marketing agency in Miami and made about $120,000 last year. For me, renting an apartment in Miami is more affordable than buying a nice house with a $3,000 or $4,000 mortgage. Argota and his brother pay $2,300 a month for a two-bedroom in this Miami apartment complex. I've also had many friends who have had to move further north in Florida because it's impossible for them to pay rent or buy a home in Miami. So, if I can't buy a house in Miami, I might consider moving to another state.

As she steps up her appeals to Black voters, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on a popular Black radio program Tuesday, saying she is still open to slavery reparations and slamming former President Donald Trump for allegedly sending Covid tests to Russia “when Black people were dying” back home. Drawing on a new book by famed journalist Bob Woodward, Harris slammed Trump for reportedly sending Covid-19 testing devices to Putin when the machines were in short supply back home. Harris also stood by her early support for studying the idea of slavery reparations, which she embraced during her first presidential run in 2019. But when she was asked directly Tuesday, Harris responded: “On the point of reparations, it has to be studied. Trump's campaign responded to the attacks in the interview by pointing to polls that find a majority of Black voters think the country is on the wrong track.
