For “Interior Chinatown” star Jimmy O. Yang, playing an invisible Chinatown extra in the new series hit close to home. “Interior Chinatown,” based on the National Book Award-winning novel of the same name by Charles Yu, is technically a show within a show. His character, Willis, sneaks into “Black and White” by disguising himself as the tech guy and the Chinese food deliveryman, using these stereotypes to his advantage. Though Willis learns to jump between the worlds of “Black and White” and Chinatown, Fatty stubbornly refuses to leave the Chinese restaurant where the two friends work. “We were really strategic with when to highlight the fact that I came from both worlds,” Bennet said.

My family and I paid 330 euros, or about $360, to take a car on a ferry to and from Sardinia, Italy. We booked a private cabin on the way to Sardinia and a junior suite on the way back. We'd take this ferry line again, though we'd likely stick with the junior suite next time. Recently, we headed to Sardinia, a Mediterranean island with beautiful beaches that's only accessible by ferry or plane. On the way back, we booked a quadruple junior suite and brought our car with us for about 210 euros.

Chappell Roan went from the “Pink Pony Club” to the country club on “Saturday Night Live,” surprising fans by going country in both look and sound for her second number of the show, the premiere of a brand new song, “The Giver,” that marries C&W with LGBTQ. “I get the job done,” Roan sang in the refrain of the new song, which shares a theme with “Femininomenon” in making the argument that pleasing a woman is sometimes (or always?) “All you country boys saying you know how to threat a woman right,” Roan said during a spoken word aside in the song — “Well, only a woman knows how to treat a woman right. Roan’s new song is not the first lesbian country song, of course. Now, the big question: Will Roan be invited to get the job done with a Grand Ole Opry appearance?

☆ High Credit Card Interest Rates Are Loading Americans With Debt

The average credit-card interest rate is now just over 21%, up from about 15% a decade ago. Additionally, as credit-card companies continue to charge high interest rates, more cardholders in debt become delinquent — and that could push the US economy closer to recession. Advertisement'The highest credit-card rates we've ever seen'Until 1978, most states had laws capping interest rates for credit cards and consumer products. Lowering the current high interest rates, and the profits that come with them, has become a priority across the aisle. Ted Rossman, a senior industry analyst at Bankrate, described the feedback loop of high prices and high interest rates as "a tough cycle to break."

I truly appreciated this low-stress setting we encountered during our son's primary school years. There is almost no encouragement of competition that we witnessed, as collaboration seems to be the focus until middle school.
