It’s time for the ultimate test, as pop sensation Dua Lipa has declared an end to “Training Season.” Tonight (February 15), Lipa is laying down the law with her new single and video, “Training Season,” letting the men vying for her attention know that she’s not going to train them on how to treat her right.
Written by Lipa, along with Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, “Training Season” is a bouncy bop, which marks an early contender for the ladies anthem of summer 2024. Yes, it may be too early to call, but as history has shown, Lipa’s songs can stand the test of time.
“I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the final straw,” said Lipa in a statement. “The next morning I arrived to the studio to Caroline and Tobias asking me how it all went and I immediately declared ‘TRAINING SEASON IS OVER,’ and like the best ‘day after’ debriefs with your mates, we had a lot of laughs and it all quickly came together from there.”
In the song’s accompanying video, Lipa is seen in a cafe. And while many men attempt to woo her, she is unfazed by all of them, finding more comfort in her own company.
“Training Season” marks the second single from Lipa’s upcoming third studio album, which is due for release later this year.
You can see the video for “Training Season” above.

The old fashioned and Manhattan are the two most recognizable American whiskey cocktails. You’ll find them on every decent bar menu worldwide. They’re also very similar on paper — whiskey (often bourbon or rye) with a sweet additive, bitters, some orange, and a cherry. But they’re leagues apart concerning how they land on your palate/senses.
Since both whiskey cocktails offer something unique, we thought it was time to break down the differences. Below, we’ll be shining a light on what makes each of these cocktails a unique classic. We’re also adding recipes so you can get a handle on these at home. Let’s dive in!

Part 1 — The Differences Between an Old Fashioned And Manhattan Cocktail

The very first step on this journey is understanding what a cocktail is. It’s a base spirit with a sweetener, a flavoring element, and water. That’s it. That’s in comparison to a “highball” — a base spirit with a fizzy soda, juice, or water mixed in. Whisky highballs, Rum and Cokes, Jack and Gingers, screwdrivers, 7 and 7s, etc. all fall into the latter category.
An old fashioned and a Manhattan follow the classic ideal of a cocktail to the letter — base spirit (American whiskey), sweetener (sugar or sweet vermouth), flavoring agent (bitters), and water (added when stirred with ice via dilution).
The key difference between these two cocktails is the sweetening agent. In an old fashioned, you’re relying on sugar. In a Manhattan, it’s sweet vermouth.
Back in the 1800s, people started ordering “old fashioned” cocktails because they got tired of overly wrought cocktails with too many ingredients. It became fashionable in the early 19th century to go back to the basics of spirit, sugar, flavoring, and water. Simple, direct, and — when done right — delicious. The old fashioned was created out of the “less is more” ethos.
As a quick sidebar, the “old fashioned” wasn’t just for whiskey back then either. People would ask for gin or brandy old fashioneds more than they ever would a whiskey one, as those two spirits were far more popular until the late 1800s. But we digress.
The Manhattan, on the other hand, started popping up around the 1860s in the American cocktail scene. Yes, it originated in Manhattan, likely around Broadway. The drink uses sweet vermouth — a floral and botanical fortified wine with sugar added — as both a sweetening and flavoring agent. The recipe is more about the influence of French and Italian vermouth on the American drinking experience than going back to basics like the old fashioned.
Lastly, there’s the way the drinks are served. More often than not, you’ll see a Manhattan served up in a cocktail glass. “Served up” doesn’t mean in a tall stemmed glass. It means serving the drink strained from the mixing/diluting ice into a fresh glass without ice. You can also call this served “neat.”
An old fashioned is served over ice in a rocks glass. You can mix the drink in the glass and it often is/was made and served that way to save time behind the bar. You will see old fashioneds mixed in a mixing glass and then poured over fresh ice too. But you’ll rarely see an old fashioned served up or neat.
That all said, you’ll see Manhattans served over rocks in a glass too. It’s a choice and rarer — but not outrageously outside of any norm. The same goes for a martini, by the way.
So, to reiterate, the main difference between an old fashioned and a Manhattan is the sweetener that’s used. An old fashioned uses sugar (raw granules, simple syrup, sugar cubes, etc.) whereas a Manhattan uses sweet vermouth. They’re both accented with Angostura Bitters, a touch of orange oils, and kissed with a brandied cherry at the end.
Here’s how to make both at home!
Part 2 — Old Fashioned and Manhattan Cocktail Recipes
Old Fashioned
Zach Johnston
Ingredients:
2 oz. bourbon whiskey
3 dashes of Angostura Bitters
0.25 oz. simple syrup
Orange peel
Cherry
Ice
Large ice cube
Here’s an axiom to live by in cocktail making: Always use great spirit as your base. In this case, I’m using Eagle Rare 10-year Bourbon. Yes, it’s a little harder to get but, wow, does it make an amazing old fashioned. The rest is easily available at any liquor store or grocery store.
If you don’t have access to Eagle Rare, then use Micther’s Small Batch Bourbon. It’s a delicious cocktail whiskey that’s very widely available nationwide.
Zach Johnston
What You’ll Need:
Rocks glass
Mixing jar/glass
Cocktail strainer
Jigger
Pairing knife
Barspoon
Zach Johnston
Method:
Prechill your glass.
Add the simple syrup, bitters, and bourbon to a mixing glass, and then add two large handfuls of ice.
Stir the drink until the mixing glass is ice-cold to touch — about 20 seconds.
Strain the drink into the prechilled glass over a large ice cube.
Express the orange oils over the glass and drop in the peel with a dark cocktail cherry. Serve.
Bottom Line:
Zach Johnston
This is so creamy and delicious. There’s this layer of oaky earthiness (that Buffalo Trace vibe) that shines through the sweetness of the sugar that takes this drink to a whole new level.
Manhattan
Zach Johnston
Ingredients:
3 oz. bourbon whiskey
0.75 oz. sweet vermouth
2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
Orange peel
Cherry
Ice
The star of the show in a Manhattan is the base whiskey, so I always make it a killer one. In this case, I’m using Michter’s 10-year Single Barrel Bourbon. Yes, it’s expensive and rare, but it makes an extraordinary cocktail. If you can’t access the Michter’s 10-year, replace it with the Michter’s Small Batch Bourbon. It’ll get the job done.
I’m using a lighter French vermouth. If we were still deep in winter, I’d replace that with a darker and more syrupy Italian vermouth.
Zach Johnston
What You’ll Need:
Coupe or cocktail glass
Mixing jar/glass
Cocktail strainer
Jigger
Pairing knife
Barspoon
Zach Johnston
Method:
Prechill the glass in the freezer.
Add the bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters in a mixing glass, and then a large handful of ice.
Stir the drink until it’s ice-cold — about 20 to 30 seconds.
Strain the cocktail into a prechilled glass, express the orange oils and discard the peel, and then add the cherry. Serve.
Bottom Line:
Zach Johnston
This is the drink to master. It’s uncutious, dark, and delicious. It goes down so easily. I guarantee that you’ll be making more of these throughout all of Bourbon Heritage Month.
Prohibition cocktails are back … again. Taste cycles aside, the Prohibition era was a boom for cocktail culture, mostly because bartenders needed to use big flavors to cover up sub-par booze or hide the booze in the glass from the fuzz. One of the most iconic examples of this era’s cocktails was the Algonquin.
The New York City luxury-hotel cocktail is a mix of American rye whiskey, dry vermouth, and fresh pineapple juice that dominated the 1920s and 1930s. Pineapple juice was in fashion at the time to cover up booze in cocktails. What’s interesting about this cocktail is that it’s not a sugar bomb. This is a grown-up drink that has serious nuance and depth while delivering something fresh and light.
Hence, it’s weathered the test of time.
Below, I’ll be making this super easy cocktail so that you can make one too. This is a three-ingredient shaker (well, four with ice) that takes all of 30 seconds to make. Sounds good, right? Let’s dive in!

There are three keys to unlocking this cocktail’s greatness. First and foremost is the American rye whiskey. You want to use something deep and spiced to power through the pineapple juice. I dig Rabbit Hole’s Boxergrail Rye as it stands up to big juicy flavors.
Next, you need to use dry vermouth, which might feel a little counterintuitive for this drink. Dry vermouth is far more common in dry martinis than in tropical juice shakers. But this layer adds a savory and botanical depth with a clear dryness that helps elevate this drink beyond the ordinary.
Lastly, you’ll need real pineapple juice, which you can find at any grocery store. Try not to get the pineapple juice with sugar added. You’ll need to get the real-deal fresh stuff. Adding sugar throws this drink off, so tread carefully.
Naturally, if you have a juicer, you can make your own.
Zach Johnston
What You’ll Need:
Coupe or Nick and Nora glass (prechilled)
Cocktail shaker
Cocktail strainer
Fine mesh strainer
Barspoon
Paring knife
Spear
Zach Johnston
Method:
Add the rye, vermouth, and pineapple juice to a cocktail shaker with a large handful of ice. Affix the lid and then shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Fetch the glass from the freezer and then double-strain the cocktail into the glass.
Garnish with a speared pineapple wedge and cherry. Serve.
Bottom Line:
Zach Johnston
This is a dry, botanical bomb with a nice layer of sweet and almost tart pineapple juice and spicy rye whiskey. It’s complex without feeling like homework thanks to a brightness that makes this very quaffable. You get that spicy and caramel rye whiskey. You get that bright and light fruit juiciness. You get that dry and bold woody vermouth. And it all works in this amazing harmony.
If you’re looking for a lower-sugar cocktail (there’s still plenty of sugar in the whiskey and juice) that’s dry, savory, and still super fresh, this is the play. It’s especially great if you’re looking for a fruity fresh cocktail that’s not a sugar bomb.
Sesame Street characters have been dominating social media lately thanks to Elmo, and more recently, Grover who’s decided to chart an ill-fated path into journalism. (Grover, no!) Now, here comes Abbott Elementary star Tyler James Williams with a horrifying tale about being a child actor on the set of the beloved TV show.
The actor was only seven years old when he made an appearance on Sesame Street, and clearly, the first thing he saw has haunted him forever.
“I remember the moment of walking on set and seeing a man in Big Bird and it stopped me at first,” Williams told The Jess Cagle Show. “The head was off and he just had the legs on, and it definitely shocked me.”
Despite having that image seared into his brain, Williams revealed that the performers are actually very cognizant about making the production process as kid-friendly as possible even though you’ll occasionally see a headless Big Bird or Elmo with a hand up his, um, back.
“They stay in character the entire time,” he remembered. “If it’s Elmo, although you can see the hand up the puppet, the voice coming out of the man’s mouth will always be Elmo until the kids leave, so that’s what helps bridge the gap a little bit. I’m seeing behind the curtain, but I’m still getting things here that are comfortable and familiar. They’re very aware of how I think jarring that can be for a kid and they do a really good job of making it feel as natural as possible.”
After getting over the initial shock of seeing a decapitated Big Bird, Williams said that even as a kid, he quickly realized that working the iconic character is hard as hell.
“Big Bird, the man is in the suit, but the mouth is moving from his arm that is stretched up, so you somehow have to be able to stand and move one of the arms and flap it and, you know, walk and do all of this while your other hand is moving along with the mouth,” Williams said. “And I remember looking at that and going, ‘This is much harder than anybody thinks.’”
One thing we haven’t yet touched on: is how to unlock incredible airfare deals. You can’t travel the world without getting yourself on a flight — so why not ensure that you’re practicing all the same strategies as travel experts to get the best deals?
First thing is first: be flexible!!! Base your travel on flight availability, not off of set dates. Also, positioning flights is key! Bigger airports have more flights and more business/first-class availability. You also should consider either booking way in advance or last minute.
It’s actually easier to book last minute when using points! You should also 100% sign up for award alerts like Point.me and Roame.
Michele Lowery (@fancytravelpointers): Do “Dummy” Award Searches Two Weeks Before Flights Are Released
MICHELE LOWERY
There are two strategies for getting the best international award flight deals – book as soon as they are released. Or book within two weeks of the flight.
For many families, like ours, booking early is the best option as you need to work around school schedules and can’t realistically pull your child out of school/sports for a good deal you found last minute.
Many airlines release award flights at 330 days (11 months) out. It is in your best interest to start doing “dummy” award searches about two weeks before flights are actually released. This will give you a good idea of what airlines/routes may have award seats, how many seats they are releasing, and if you have enough points/miles for that booking.
Also very important, is to focus on earning transferable/flexible points (like Chase Ultimate Reward points, American Express Membership points, or Capital One miles) so that you have more options. If you only have “airline miles” with one airline, you’ll be stuck with whatever award flights that specific airline releases. But if you have transferable/flexible points, you can find the best award flight deal and then transfer points/miles for that award flight.

Be flexible. Whether you’re looking for a cash ticket or an award ticket so you can use credit card points or airline miles, be flexible. The more flexible you are with your travel dates, your routing, and what airlines you’re willing to fly, the easier it will be to find something that works for you.
First and foremost, flexibility. This is key. Airlines will release mistake fares, insane cash fares, and open coveted award availability for specific dates. When this happens, you either are an opportunist and jump on the deal or you miss out. Many people hold themselves back from this as they set a date first when they WANT to travel rather than having the mindset of when they CAN travel. People are bound by an allotment of vacation days or PTO available. I work as a fireman and am fortunate enough to have the ability to trade my 24-hour shifts with colleagues to have the flexibility to make travel dates possible. I still have to work the days my colleagues work, however.
For bragging purposes only: I managed to find a round-trip flight from LAX-CPH for $252. I was able to upgrade at the airport on the return leg to business class for $450. For those who rely on PTO or have to request vacation days, I recommend booking and securing a ticket first, then worrying about asking for PTO. With the DOT behind you, you have 24 hours to cancel an itinerary booked if it doesn’t work for you.
If you can try and incorporate your dates over a weekend or through the days you normally have off.
Finding good cash fares can be tricky. There are a ton of services like Going.com that alert paid subscribers of mistake fares or cheap cash fares, but that also require flexibility. Is there a theme arising here? Google Flights and Skyscanner.com is a superb way to search for flights. Using a VPN from another country can sometimes show lower fares, but we NEED to stop the myth of booking on a specific date or booking a specific number of days out and going incognito. Airlines typically publish fares based on demand and are dynamic. The cheaper fare class typically goes first and the price goes up from there, usually.
Using points for the lowest award rate can also be tricky as it requires the airline to release award space. You can make this easy on yourself by subscribing to a service like Straight To The Points or Thrifty Traveler. These sites alert you for award availability. If you are searching via airline award charts, I recommend starting early, or rolling the dice and booking close-in to the date you want to travel. I’ve found first-class award tickets two days before I wanted to travel.
Bottom line, there are many different methods and ways to go about finding cheap ways to travel, the biggest takeaway is being flexible. Happy travels!

This one goes out to all of my youngins because I really wish I had known about this when I was in college. There are so many cool websites and brands that you can tap into that provide student discounts on flights. Student Universe is a top site where you can book your travel through them and it typically lends 10-15% off. That allows you to keep more money in your pocket and use that money for books, housing, food, and more.
You can also go to Kayak and search for your departing and returning dates on your flight, under the traveler section you can choose the option for “student.” Instead of putting adult, put your traveler search as a student. Kayak actually aggregates flights through Student Universe, Flyla, and Scholartrip to offer discounted flights for students across all major airlines so you can see all the discounts available. Most of these require you to be a student aged 18-24.
These can be especially useful for those flights home for holidays during school breaks
Allison Tackette (@luckytictac): Be Flexible & Search For Flights Out Of Neighboring Airports
If you come into trip planning saying “I want to fly United on Saturday at 6 PM” — you’re setting yourself up for failure. Flexibility is the biggest factor in finding incredible airfare deals. Have flexibility with dates (even if it’s a day or two) and routing. There may not be a flight from your home airport, but there is out of different airport.
Your flexibility can be the difference between a 500,000-point flight and a 60,000-point business-class flight. The more flexible you can be the more successful your award searches will be. You might even get a better in-flight experience out of it!
Angel Trinh (@pennywisetraveler): Either Book Very Early Or Very Last Minute
You need to either book very early or very last minute when award space opens up. Most airlines open up award space availability almost a year out, but sometimes award space is not released until two weeks before the date of travel.
I have booked flights within a few days because the business class seat opened up at the last minute. For example, sometimes I will book an economy ticket to get a seat to my destination and then I will cancel my flight (it’s free on American Airlines) and the miles will go straight back to my account. I will then use the miles to book my business class seat once American Airlines releases the seat for business.
There are five different strategies that I always use to make sure that I find the cheapest flights possible:
1) Join a Cheap Flight Newsletter: There are a growing number of cheap flight newsletters out on the market. For the price of a subscription, most of these newsletters will send the lowest-priced flight deals they can find right to your inbox. The companies that run these newsletters typically employ people who spend hours each day searching for the cheapest flights meaning you won’t only save money, but you’ll also save time.
2) Set Price Alerts: Google Flights has an awesome feature that allows you to receive an email whenever the price of a flight you’re looking at goes up or down. These alerts can help you time when to commit to purchasing your flight.
3) Consider Flying Out Of/Into Alternate Airports: Probably the biggest factor in determining the price of a flight is where you’re flying from or where you’re flying to. By looking at other airports that may be a short drive from your first choice airport, you open up the potential to save a lot of money. Advanced travelers may want to also consider positioning flights. A positioning flight is a flight that you would take to get to an airport whose airfare is cheaper to your final destination. It’s basically like creating your own layover. Just be careful to leave enough time in case something goes wrong with your positioning flight.
4) Rebook Your Flight If The Price Drops: Many airlines will allow you to receive a credit/points/refund if the price of your flight drops. My favorite example is Southwest Airlines. If the price of your flight drops, you can rebook your flight through Southwest and receive a credit for future travel equal to the difference in the fare. If you paid with points, the difference in Rapid Rewards points will automatically go back into your account.
5) Flexibility, Flexibility, Flexibility: Finding cheap flights ultimately comes down to flexibility. Are you willing to fly on a different day? Are you willing to have a longer layover? Are you willing to travel somewhere slightly different than you had first planned? The more flexible you are, the more likely you are to save money on air travel.
Angelo Minella (@paidwithpoints): Subscribe To Award Booking Newsletters
ANGELO MINELLA
There are lots of newsletters that you can subscribe to such as Straight To The Points Premium Newsletter which sends out award bookings. This is a great way to always stay on top of when award availability opens up and to book your trip before news spreads too fast.
NBA All-Star Weekend brand tie-ins are unmissable, as each event holds a different title sponsor, sneaker and clothing companies do special All-Star drops, and every league partner has a pop-up on site.
On occasion, a brand promotion ends up being too good and ends up backfiring a bit for the league or its partner. This year, the NBA had a promo for All-Star along with Nike and Jordan Brand where fans could link their NBA account with their Nike account, vote for which shoe Jayson Tatum would wear in the All-Star Game, and they’d get 12 months of free NBA League Pass. That’s a considerable offer for fans, and many took advantage of it.
However, it was not the best conceived promo because all you had to do was use the ALLSTARTATUM promo code in the League Pass ordering menu and you could bypass the entire promotion to get free League Pass for a year. Unsurprisingly, once folks on social media recognized this on Thursday, the promo code got passed around and tens of thousands of people (or more) used the code to load a free year of League Pass to their account, causing the NBA to eventually shut down the code.
While the NBA probably wasn’t expecting to give out millions of dollars in free League Pass, it’s honestly not the worst thing that could happen. Having a promo go viral that gets fans access to watch a years worth of games isn’t really a bad thing for the league, especially since the NBA has been trying to bring in more eyeballs onto regular season games for years. This might not have been the way they wanted to do it, but maybe they end up with a few more folks watching a random Monday night slate in March this way.
There is definitely an action movie “type” that everyone can picture: a tall, muscular and/or jacked-up man with big arms and a vaguely threatening stance. Sometimes, he has an unruly beard and a sketchy past, but that’s an extra step. So it’s basically the opposite of Bob Odenkirk, a beloved 61-year-old comedian who does not have a beard (or an Emmy). But he has what all of those other guys don’t have: real-life enemies known as Emmy voters.
After being snubbed for just about every award out there, the Better Call Saul actor is channeling that anger into a new role. “I never went to acting school, but if you talk about motivation, using your past to inspire you, I can tell you I’ll be imagining all those enemies in Normal as Emmy voters coming to get me,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. Odenkirk is set to star in Normal from writer-director Derek Kolstad, who also penned Nobody.
Not only will the snub inspire Odenkirk’s drive, but he also has a specific advantage when it comes to his looks. “A lot of action movies, where the guys are too handsome and built, it’s hard for the audience to buy into the idea that they’re in danger,” Odenkirk explains. “I don’t have that problem. Audiences genuinely see me and go, ‘Oh, jeez, this guy is screwed.’” Perhaps he is just projecting the sins of his past characters onto his future ones, but the points are still valid.
This seems to be just the beginning of Odenkirk’s action movie career. After the success of Nobody, the actor expressed interest in pivoting to action star in 2022. “I still train multiple times a week and if I get my way you’re going to see me doing more action. I found the action sequences a great deal of fun and close to doing sketch comedy…I love the early Jackie Chan films which had humor in them. I’d like to get that in in future.” Finally, Odenkirk seems to be getting his way, for once.
P.J. Tucker started this season as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, but back in October, the team sent him to Los Angeles as part of James Harden’s trade to the Clippers. It hasn’t gone especially well for Tucker since then, as he hasn’t appeared in a game since Nov. 27 and is not currently with the team due to the Clippers sending him home through the All-Star break.
Even though Tucker is still in Los Angeles, if he got his way, the team would have moved him at the trade deadline. That did not happen despite the fact that Tucker made clear he wanted to go somewhere that would give him the chance to play in the lead-up to last Thursday, and now, that’s going to cost him a bit of money.
“The NBA announced today that LA Clippers forward P.J. Tucker has been fined $75,000 by the NBA for public comments reported during the week of February 5 expressing a desire to be traded to another team,” the league announced in a statement.
Tucker expressed on a few occasions that he wanted a change in scenery due to his desire to get playing time, but nothing was able to materialize ahead of the deadline. A post on his Instagram Story indicated just how frustrated he was about his situation.
While Tucker has shown in the past that his ability to defend big wings and hit corner threes can be valuable, he’s struggled in the 12 games he’s played for the Clippers. We’ll see if he continues to stay on the bench or if Tyronn Lue gives him more opportunities for some plying time after the All-Star break.
When his presidential campaign was in full swing, Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida were on the forefront of banning books in schools, which picked up considerably following the passage of the state’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law. However, now that the governor has returned to Florida after washing out of the Republican primary, he’d like if folks could maybe cool it on the whole book banning thing. “Everyone take a chill pill” appears to be DeSantis’ new message.
During a news conference on Thursday, DeSantis showcased a surprising reversal as he acknowledged that the process for banning books has gotten way out of hand. Ironically, DeSantis echoed concerns that were expressed at the outset of Florida’s aggressive push towards challenging books and curriculums. These issues were raised from the start, but ignored as the governor launched his presidential run.
“Likewise, members of the community, although we like people wanting to be involved in what’s going on, to just show up and object to every single book under the sun, that is not an appropriate situation here,” DeSantis said via CBS News. “And we have seen that occasionally.”
“If you have a kid in school, OK. But if you’re somebody who doesn’t have a kid in schools and you’re going to object to 100 books – no, I don’t think that that’s appropriate,” DeSantis continued before announcing a plan to limit objections to books in school. “We just want to make sure we’re not trying to incentivize frivolous objections or any type of games being played.”
NEW: DeSantis acts SHOCKED that his vague and punitive censorship laws have resulted in exactly the type of chaos and excessive book banning in Florida public schools that we all predicted would happen.
Meanwhile, state Republicans are reportedly pushing new legislation that would almost double DeSantis’ salary as governor. According to Newsweek, DeSantis currently makes $141,400 per year. That number would jump to $251,414.
Maybe word got out that the Governor and First Lady DeSantis are big into private jets now. Who knows?
