If someone can’t penetrate several layers of irony to determine whether you are merely pretending to be obtuse or are genuinely slow on the uptake, well, that’s a good laugh for the girls. One might assume “girl” identity as a way to show naysayers just how clever girls actually are, or to show men how unserious those things to which they ascribe such importance may be. Claiming that something that is supposed to be “for boys” — say, baseball, the Grateful Dead, Karl Ove Knausgaard — is really “for girls,” is like a pinprick into a balloon, slowly letting the air out of masculinity. In the newsletter, Ms. Picurro has described Daniel Craig as “a girl actor trapped within the boy movie industrial complex.”“You can take things for men and make them less serious,” Ms. Balingit added. And with actual teenage girls shaping much of pop culture and pioneering linguistic trends, some argue: Wasn’t it always that way?

The program, called SAVE, is something of a Plan B for President Biden, whose efforts to cancel up to $20,000 per borrower were thwarted by the Supreme Court in June, when justices ruled that he had overstepped his authority. While perhaps less flashy than Biden’s earlier effort, SAVE will reduce payments for millions of borrowers, eventually by as much as half.

That is a stark change from recent years, when budget cuts, outdated technology and staff shortages helped create a pileup of tens of millions of tax returns. Last year, the agency held job fairs with the aim of hiring 10,000 employees to help clear the backlog. At the same time, the Biden administration was pushing to get more money to modernize the agency.

Meryl Streep and George Clooney are leading the charge, according to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, a charity associated with the actors’ union that provides financial assistance to workaday performers. They each donated $1 million, and then began lobbying their fellow A-listers. Large donations have poured in from celebrities like Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts and Oprah Winfrey.

Ordinarily, two films opening on the same day would be competitors. But “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” widely released on Friday, are geared toward different audiences. And the stark contrast between the movies — one portraying the Mattel doll’s pink-bathed universe and the other the architect of the atomic bomb — has borne a surfeit of jokes online and a conjoined hype cycle that promises eye-popping ticket sales for both.

Seacrest left “Live,” the morning show he hosted with Kelly Ripa, in February after six years. But he is still the host of “American Idol,” which made him a household name. He is also the host of the syndicated radio programs “On Air With Ryan Seacrest” and “American Top 40 With Ryan Seacrest.”“American Idol” is on two hours a week, though at some points there are two-hour episodes, twice a week, and the finale is three hours.

The Fed began raising interest rates from near zero in March 2022, as inflation hit a 40-year high. By last month, the Fed had taken rates above 5 percent and reached a milestone of 10 straight rate increases. Why so many? Even as the Fed has kept two feet firmly on the brakes, inflation has proved stubborn. Other economic data, like the jobs report, has shown unexpected resilience in the face of the Fed’s campaign to slow the economy.

☆ The Week in Business: An Attempt to Ban TikTok

The legislation seeks to cut off access by targeting mobile app stores, like the Apple Store and Google Play, and prohibit them from offering TikTok in Montana. If the stores continue allowing people to download the app, the companies could face fines, as could TikTok. The ban is set to take effect on Jan. 1, but it is already facing a legal challenge.

☆ The Week in Business: Trump on TV

(May 7-13)CNN’s TrumpcastUntil last week, former President Donald J. Trump had not appeared on CNN since 2016. But at a town hall hosted by the network on Wednesday night, Mr. Trump, the Republican front-runner in the 2024 presidential campaign, resumed the lies and name-calling that marked his presidency. Critics of CNN’s forum said it was reckless to give Mr. Trump such a large platform for his message, especially because it proved difficult to fact check his statements in real time. The results came in: Almost 58 percent of the 17.5 million people who voted agreed that Mr. Musk should leave his post. Mr. Musk said Ms. Yaccarino, who recently interviewed him onstage at an advertising event in Miami, would focus on business operations while he would continue to work on product design and technology.
☆ The Week in Business: The 10th Straight Rate Increase

It was the third consecutive increase of that size and the 10th straight rate increase since last March. This encroaching deadline presents a tricky political problem for Mr. Biden. Republicans are trying to extract concessions from Mr. Biden that would significantly undermine his agenda. He could negotiate spending cuts but divorce those discussions from the debt limit. There is one other possible option: a constitutional challenge to the debt limit, a long-shot plan that would rely on a clause in the 14th Amendment.

The move came less than a week after the company paid $787.5 million to settle a defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems. Soon after Mr. Carlson was fired, CNN announced that it had “parted ways” with Don Lemon, a longtime star on the network who most recently was a morning show co-host. First Republic’s troubles are part of a wider banking crisis that began with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in mid-March. (April 30-May 6)A Highly Anticipated Fed MeetingThese days, aren’t all meetings of the Federal Reserve highly anticipated? But the Fed signaled that much uncertainty lay ahead as it sought a narrowing path to a soft landing, made narrower by the collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.
☆ The Week in Business: A Trial With a Twist
  + stars: | 2023-04-23 | by ( Marie Solis | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
In an unexpected twist in the courtroom on Tuesday — after jurors had been selected and opening statements delayed — Fox News agreed to a $787.5 million settlement. But even at less than half that amount, the settlement is still one of the largest ever in a defamation case. Caveats released in August said vehicles and plug-in hybrids assembled outside North America were not eligible for the $7,500 credit. The list of eligible vehicles is expected to grow as carmakers fine-tune their supply chains and catch up with demand. When the bank reports its quarterly earnings this week, analysts expect to see an enormous flight of deposits — that is, customers pulling their money from the bank — and losses.
