Well, this is a first! For two decades I've been calling new Starbucks to werify that if/when they opened, and when I called the new Elgin store, the barista who answered was named Winter!!!

Jake's comment about BNP Paribas on the most recent episode of Time Crisis #TC10 is literally the only time I have ever heard the name of that bank outside the context of its ATM agreement with Bank of America (I can use BNP Paribas ATMs in France without a fee).

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_(ban… Wow, I'd never heard of Ride before the most recent episode of Time Crisis #TC10 but they're pretty darn good!

On the latest episode of Time Crisis #TC10 Ezra speculates that some people might have played a song like "Anti-Hero" seven times in a row, and he has never been more right. Except try TWENTY TIMES.

Every time a Taylor Swing song plays, and I cannot identify it, I die a little inside.

Even though my accent is horrible and my wocabulary quite limited, I treasure any opportunity that I have to speak French.

cjme.com/2025/05/25/man… I approve!

My 20,200th Starbucks, 104 Jay Street in Brooklyn, another step on the slow road to 21K.

youtu.be/cmSPwZIZu6Y?si… Finally able to see 'Friendship', produced by Nick Weidenfeld and discussed on Time Crisis #TC10, and it is as good as I'd expected!

hyperfollow.com/eclipsehotsout… I'm about a year late, but happy to discover this awesome song by fellow Vampire Weekend superfan Valeri.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE When you start watching the latest, nearly-three-hour, film do two pushups. After 10 minutes, do four. Then six, eight, ten, and so on, every 10 minutes adding two more. Can you keep the streak going for the entire film?

A little-known fact about Starbucking is the post-tour detoxing. After two weeks of heavy caffeine, including 23 Starbucks this past weekend alone, plus one indie, I return to Rochester to endure headaches and discomfort as I reduce my intake to a normal level.

We're one month away from Time Crisis' 10th Anniversary on 7/12! 🥳 I don't have anything special planned, but I'm going to make a dedicated effort to have pages for every episode by then. I've set this goal several times before but feel good it'll happen (again) this time 🤞

fiftyfifty.one Reminder that today will see hundreds of NO KINGS protest throughout the United States. You can use this website to look up an event in your area and then do your part to move this country towards a tipping point of opposition to Trump's policies.

NO KINGS event in the Rochester suburb of Brighton today is a bit low-key, no speakers or activities, but it's good to get some wisibility in the suburbs. We need to show those who are on the fence, including Congress, that MANY people willing to resist Trump's policies.

If you are paid a fair wage to perform a job that you enjoy, take a moment to give thanks because you're better off than much of the planet.

starbuckseverywhere.net/CaymanIslands.… STARBUCKING IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS!!! With this wisit to the island's two Starbucks, I bring my total Starbucking countries to 72, and I have now been to all Caribbean countries with Starbucks except for Turks and Caicos.

fxnetworks.com/shows/the-bear… Time Crisis #TC10 when y'all return, it would be awesome to hear a deep dive into the music from 'The Bear'. I saw that Jake Longstreth posted about the show's music the other day, so at least one of y'all must be watching.

Umm, it is actually raining (condensation) inside my aircraft as we wait to take off on Delta flight 1758 PTY -> ATL.

visir.is/g/20252747032d… FINALLY!!! I've literally been hoping for decades that Starbucks would give me a reason to travel to Iceland.
