Listen, I get it. You saw the news that Noma, that expensive restaurant in Copenhagen, was planning to close, and you snorted. Maybe you left a comment on a media platform drawing a comparison between Noma and The Menu, the goth Ralph Fiennes movie about an expensive restaurant. Maybe you liked something on Facebook declaring that fine dining has suffered a lethal blow and that no sane person will ever again seek out the bloated, calcified pleasures of a tasting menu. Perhaps you nodded along with the ever-eloquent Frank Bruni as he categorized Noma as one of those "internationally renowned, ardently coveted temples of gastronomy." And maybe you just thought, whatever, this is a restaurant far away in Denmark that serves weird food to rich people and I cannot pretend to care. If luxe dining is no longer sustainable, what will be the culinary world's real loss? |

| The much-anticipated adaptation of The Last of Us has finally landed on HBO Max. Arriving with a gut-punch premiere episode, the new series is based on the 2013 video game of the same name, and drops us into a post-apocalyptic world ravaged as much by humans as the zombie-like Infected. The narrative focuses on Joel Miller, played by Pedro Pascal. A onetime carpenter who lived in Austin in 2003 when people first started turning into bloodthirsty fungus monsters. Naturally, he dresses the part. And though there is very little about Joel's world that seems particularly desirable to those of us living in this version of 2023, we've gotta say—his wardrobe is the exception. |

| If there's one thing we love, it's being able to do two things at once. There's not enough time in the day to do everything we need to do, so killing two birds with one stone is the most effective and efficient way to cross things off your to-do list. And, when it comes to staying healthy and finishing up your work for the week, those two things rarely go hand-in-hand. Luckily, the invention of under-desk treadmills has changed that. These small and mighty forms of exercise will help you stay active, no matter how many late nights you need to pull to secure that bonus this year. |

| Marcus McKinley was a junior at Ohio University when his mother, Kim, then fifty-five, collapsed at work. He figured it was dehydration, but when he got to the hospital, he found out it was more serious than that; she'd had a stroke and needed brain surgery. Her right side was paralyzed, so she couldn't walk, and when she first got out of the ICU, Marcus couldn't understand a word she said. The weeks and months just after a stroke are the most important for rehabilitation, but Kim's initial progress was minimal, and she languished. A couple of months after Marcus's graduation, his mother's fiancé called to tell Marcus he had to go out and then, when Marcus got to their house to lend a hand, told him he was leaving for good. Marcus realized he would have to step in. |
