根據房地產經紀公司紅芬的報告，美國5月份的房屋銷量跌至過去十年來的最低水平，需求和供應都在高利率環境中趨緩。房價上升至歷史新高，30年期固定抵押貸款利率約為7％，壓低了需求和供應。根據紅芬的數據，待售住宅數量仍比疫情前水平低約25％。5月份共售出40.7959萬房屋，是過去十年中僅次於2023年10月（39.8537萬）和2020年5月（36.9300萬）的最少銷量月份。房屋銷量在5月份季節性調整基礎上月跌1.7％，年減2.9％，而月度中位房屋銷售價格則飆升至歷史新高，reaching $439,716，月增1.6％，年增5.1％。季節性調整後的新上市房源5月份月增0.3％，年增8.8％。但仍比疫情前（2019年5月）水準低約20％。紅芬高級經濟學家Elijah de la Campa表示：“由於高昂的購房成本讓房屋搜索者和潛在賣家都感到不安，銷售疲軟。在一些市場，由於待售房屋太少，買家正在參加競價戰，這有助於推動房價創下歷史新高。”

Musician John Grant's album 'The Art of the Lie' presents itself as a song cycle exploring the reconciliation with his parents as an older gay man. While the album is impressive in its confessional nature, it is criticized for being stolid and lacking excitement as music, with an emphasis on balladry. Grant's use of vocoders may detract from the lyrical focus in certain tracks, but moments of delicate chorus and electro-groove provide highlights in the album's exploration of themes like Trump's America and the struggle for a more endurable world amidst challenges like libido and destruction. Despite some shortcomings, 'The Art of the Lie' reflects on the concept that happiness is a choice rather than a given right.
