No mention of what was in the safe

The next James Bond should be Gary Oldman in his Jackson Lamb persona.

Tell that to the people of Salem

Super film

Happy Unger Day to all those who celebrate “On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence…” m.youtube.com/watch?v=Af1h...

Kinda interesting, never heard of it before: like Law & Order but the “order” part was from the defense perspective. Starred Ben Gazarra and The Rifleman. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest_...

Checking into doctor’s office and they say “sign on the signature pad” I asked to see what I’m signing and they got visibly aggravated. IANAL but how could that signature have any legal force whatsoever when it’s not attached to anything

“when”

Booooooo!

A sickening read: www.404media.co/landlords-de...

Mike Schmidt would like a word with management…

“I have had two pet monkeys…” (of course)

This sure was good (free to watch and ad-free) youtu.be/zl-wAqplQAo?...

Font size and contrast affect readability more than stacking order. #graphicdesign #typography

Jonathan Blake at Smoke last night doing his upcoming Blue Note release “My Life Matters” and *just outstanding*

For anyone worried that we might find new ways to prevent or cure cancers, worry no more!

Awfully easy for a Friday

Who will stop them and their evil plans?

Why??

Reminder: Only five days left to make plans for overusing your iPhone’s calendar emoji

First thing I do when I open the Bee is check genius score. If it’s over 150, I’m already annoyed that it may be more than a minute or three of work. For 283, this was surprisingly merciful.

Friday NYT: Nice grid

Friday 6/20/2025 New York Times, nice grid

THE EDMONTON OILERS HAVE MADE IT BACK TO THE STANLEY CUP FINAL 🏆

After extensive research, no surprise to find that my happiness is inversely correlated to my score on the NYT news quiz

Element found in magnets

They oughta pass a law that bans appraisers on Antiques Roadshow from starting their estimate with the words “thirty-five” when it’s $3,500

Things have gone completely sideways when every pharmaceutical ad uses a song that came out after you turned 35

Weird that #NYT #Wirecutter includes espresso/Nespresso machines but omits super-automatics (e.g., Jura). Yes, expensive. But no capsules, use your own beans. Button-push for a way-better-than-drip 6-8oz cup of coffee with crema on top (plus espresso/cappuccino). www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

If you hear me sighing 6:30am, it’s because Spelling Bee genius is over 150 points.

Who doesn’t love ya, baby?

Rewatched The Maltese Falcon, and I’m reminded that the very end of the film is GOLD (the whole film is gold)

A lot of talk about how this platform is so much more constructive and high-minded versus the old place. Also a lot of hot takes, jokes, and likes for a murder with a gun.

Reading this reminds me: at about 7pm on 12/31/1999, one of our servers had a hardware failure completely unrelated to Y2K. Had to convince a string of panicked executives calling my flip phone that it was just a crazy coincidence, not impending doom. datebook.sfchronicle.com/movies-tv/ky...

Sunny (on AppleTV) was OK, but that theme song is the real star youtu.be/Wt6Jh3BB4fI?...

Content creators who think defending IP rights is uncool?

Happy Unger Day to all those who celebrate “On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence…” m.youtube.com/watch?v=Af1h...

I’ve read dozens of articles now about how Gen Z, Millennials, and Boomers voted, and it is striking how Gen X goes completely unmentioned in almost every article. I am perfectly content to be ignored and left alone but it’s kinda eerie.

Gonna be looking a lot at www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAt... in the coming years.

I’ve seen the needle and the damage done (and streaks are a curse)

Options

Not sure if anyone needs to hear this but if I had to choose between ordering furniture from West Elm or cleaning my eyeballs with sea salt and steel wool, I’d choose the latter. You’ve been warned.

WaPo’s Keywords would be a lot more more fun if it didn’t penalize you for typos on phone keyboard. www.washingtonpost.com/games/keyword/

Mind boggling to me that Apple’s new Passwords app doesn’t let you set a unique master password. A device password is almost always going to be weak. Yet, by design, a six-digit number (or whatever unlocks your phone) will be the key to all of your online credentials? Am I missing something?
