As is our usual routine with any shooting, we gather all the details we can, make note, maybe illustrate or add to a graphic, and then move on to the next one. Police-involved shootings are no different. Then other night, a serial rabble-rouser posted the following on X: We were a little confused at first given the only recent police-involved shooting involved a CPD officer getting shot. Typically shootouts don’t fall into the execution column.

Finding food gems in Little Saigon neighborhoods can be tricky. There’s so much to choose from. Yelp is helpful when you want the top tier, top vote getters. Even so, you have to read between the lines. (⭐️⭐️⭐️ can be as good, if not better than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.) I’m always searching for overlooked gems, and that doesn’t always mean scanning lists and ratings. Sometimes, it means driving around. Or, sometimes, it means keeping your eyes open when you’re deep in a Little Saigon enclave.

Although Succession’s Gerri Kelman was only general counsel and interim CEO of Waystar Royco, at times she ran the company, which sends a message lawyers should like: We might work behind the scenes, but we’re more powerful than people realize.

From a Stop Torture RI press release: Family members of Willie Washington Jr. and community members gathered outside the Rhode Island State House on Thursday for a solemn vigil and protest to honor the life of the 25-year-old man who tragically lost his life while in the custody of the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC) earlier this month. “We don’t want our son’s murder to be in vain,” said the Washington/Jones family in a statement.

Like so many mainstream film-goers this month, I made the time to go to a theater to check out Dune Part 2, the third film based on Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel Dune and a sequel to the 2021 adaptation, which I really enjoyed, if not outright loved. For the most part, I thought Part 2 was great and an improvement on its predecessor in almost every way. Though retaining the beauty and visual prowess of Part 1, the sequel replaced the cold, emotionally subdued performances with lively and engaging ones, while embracing the pulpiness and theatricality its predecessor seemed ashamed of.

For its first half hour alone, Saving Private Ryan will forever be remembered as the last great war movie of the twentieth century. A reenactment of the D-Day landings so devastating it reduced many a grown man to tears, Steven Spielberg used a sequence shorter in length than your average sitcom episode to remind the world that ‘war is hell’ isn’t a slogan, it’s a statement of fact.

Think of this week’s edition of A Tiny Apt. as not simply a mini gift guide but a public service announcement. For your home. Your friends. Your beloved Person who is consistently nonplussed by any gift you give them. (We love them, but they suck.) I’m way behind on gift guide emails—reading them, not sending them—but when I opened my week-old Secret Strategist newsletter, and there before my eyes was the loveliest pepper mill I’d ever seen, I immediately thought…Gee, that would look so nice in my kitchen.
