The Best One Yet - 👵👴 “DINKs vs PINKs” — The Silver Tsunami of Americans over 65. Chipotle’s Hero Metric. The End of Media’s Gated Gardens.

With a record number of Americans turning 65 this year, we have to talk about “PINKs” (= “Passive Income, No Kids”) — PINKs are the new top demo in America (sorry, DINKs)

Chipotle stock reached an all-time-high and is worth more than Mercedes, Marriott, or PayPal — but it’s all thanks to Chipotle’s hero metric: The throughput.

And three TV companies are merging their sports networks to create the ultimate sports streaming network — The ~$40/mo streamer could kill the cord.

NPR's Book of the Day - Sarah Cooper’s memoir ‘Foolish’ is about her immigrant family, TikTok fame and comedy

Comedian Sarah Cooper blew up when her TikTok videos making fun of then-President Donald Trump's statements in press conferences went viral. Her new memoir, Foolish, recounts that moment in her life — but it also expands on Cooper's larger trajectory, from learning she was Black as the daughter of Jamaican immigrants to working at Google as an adult. She tells NPR's Leila Fadel just how surreal her rise in comedy has been, and why HomeGoods home decor actually dishes out some pretty wise life advice.
