The funniest thing is, it's not enough,

While not everyone has the time, space, or equipment to smoke a massive brisket low and slow, BBQ ribs are much more accessible. It's entirely possible to whip up some amazing baby back ribs with honey mustard BBQ sauce with a little help from both your oven and grill, and an oven is all you need for sweet, spicy, smoky raspberry chipotle ribs that are sticky, downright glorious, and well worth the four hours they'll spend in the heat.

On October 24, 2025, the actor and director Christopher Guest took the stage for a discussion with the New Yorker staff writer Ariel Levy, as part of The New Yorker's 26th annual Festival, a weekend of conversations, screenings, performances, and more. The Festival, which is the magazine's signature event, was held in New York City and brought together leading voices in literature, film, comedy, television, politics, and medicine.

Jennifer Lawrence has been acting in films for almost two decades. Some of her films, such as "American Hustle" and "Winter's Bone," have been critically adored. In a time when movie stars are few and far between, there's no doubt that Jennifer Lawrence is a true A-list icon. She's been in 26 movies across her career, been nominated for four Academy Awards (winning one), and starred in two billion-dollar franchises ("X-Men" and "The Hunger Games").

That difference stuck with me. Because years later, I see it everywhere: Many founders chase visibility before they build foundations. Visibility is seductive It's easy to focus on what looks good from the outside. A flashy website. A polished LinkedIn announcement. A big funding headline. And yes-awards. The appeal is obvious. Recognition feels good. It validates the sacrifices you've made. It gets people's attention. And in many cases, visibility can even buy time-helping attract investors, talent, or customers.

Emma Stone, 36, is regarded as one of the best actors of her generation. She's been nominated for four Oscars and won two in the best actress category (" La La Land" in 2017 and "" Poor Things" in 2024). Her range is seemingly unlimited, tugging at hearts in the rom-com "Crazy, Stupid, Love" (2011), playing tennis legend Billie Jean King in "Battle of the Sexes" (2017), and even getting a taste of the superhero genre starring opposite Andrew Garfield in "The Amazing Spider-Man" (2012) and its sequel.

Brooklyn actor Jeremy Allen White, who can be seen this weekend playing Bruce Springsteen on the big screen, finally got his high school diploma at the age of 34. The Deliver Me From Nowhere star said Thursday that he didn't graduate from Manhattan's Professional Performing Arts School because he spent his high school years slacking and wanting to be an actor. White finally made the grade at Wednesday night's New York Film Festival, where his former drama teacher presented him with a diploma.

Last week, Suffolk Law School became the latest venue for the American Legal Tech Awards ceremony, an event informally called "Legal Tech Prom" as the legal technology world's best and brightest trade the corporate-branded quarter zips for evening formal wear. While the red carpet may lack custom Versace gowns, it does feature a bunch of people who just spent 45 minutes watching YouTubers explain how to tie a bow tie. For what it's worth, this is a good one and only required two viewings.

Jennifer Lopez is well-known for her pop career, but she has also been acting since the 1980s. Her lowest-ranked films, according to critics, are "Gigli" (2003) and "The Boy Next Door" (2015). Her latest film, "Kiss of the Spider Woman," debuted to positive reviews, but a low box office. Jennifer Lopez has been a triple threat since she showed off her dance skills for "In Living Color" in 1991.
