Not only has Paul Rudd repeatedly helped save the Marvel Cinematic Universe onscreen, but he’s also a superhero in real life as well. According to NPR, the star of the Ant-Man franchise recently reached out to Brody Ridder, a 12-year-old boy in Colorado who had experienced months of bullying at his school. His mother, Cassandra Ridder, reached her breaking point when Brody brought home his yearbook that only two teachers and two students signed. “Hope you make some more friends,” Brody wrote… Source link

It’s one thing for an NBA rookie to have confidence in their ability. It’s a whole other thing to immediately call out one of the greatest NBA players of all time before you’ve played a single game. That didn’t stop Indiana Pacers rookie Bennedict Mathurin from calling out Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. In an interview with the Washington Post, Mathurin said James is going to have to prove he’s a better player than Mathurin. Before slipping off to his hotel room to make his final… Source link

The inflation challenge facing America’s governors has coincided with a somewhat opposite trend: state budgets that are flush following a period of better than expected tax revenues and ample coronavirus assistance from Washington, DC. Governor Glenn Youngkin (R-VA), one of many governors in that situation, says his budget forecast shows $15 billion more than expected — and that windfall can fight inflation, he said. The governor signed a budget this week with a mix of tax cuts and… Source link

Chase Claypool believes in himself. So much so, in fact, that the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver says he’s a “top-three receiver” in the league. Claypool will have to prove that this fall, as his numbers from his first two seasons in the league don’t back that up. Claypool had 860 receiving yards and two touchdowns with 59 receptions last season, his second in the league. He had one 100-yard game last season, and failed to bring in more than 41 receiving yards in the Steelers’ final… Source link

Between a tanking stock market, soaring inflation, and mounting recession fears, Americans are turning on the economy. And somewhere, Vladimir Putin is probably smiling about it. Amid all the chaos, inflation has become the biggest financial concern of nearly every American as prices rise for everything from gas to groceries. There are several reasons that inflation reached a 40-year-high of 8.6% last month, including rising rents and labor costs. But economists say a major driver is Russia’s… Source link

Elon Musk at the 2022 Met Gala.Andrew Kelly/Reuters Elon Musk said Covid-19 lockdowns “tricked people into thinking that you don’t actually need to work hard.” Working from home didn’t make workers less productive, three economists told Insider. The only constraint on productivity was when workers had children at home they needed to look after. Elon Musk is not a fan of remote work. In the early hours of Wednesday, Musk commented on a tweet which appeared to show an email from himself to Tesla… Source link

Only the Las Vegas Raiders know whether Colin Kaepernick is still good enough to play quarterback in the NFL. Kaepernick tried out for the Raiders on Wednesday. It was his first legit tryout in years. He hasn’t appeared in a game since the 2016 season, when he started 11 games for a two-win San Francisco team. He was cut in early 2017 and hasn’t garnered much interest since, at least some of it because of his decision to kneel during the playing of the national anthem that season. Is he, at… Source link
