Is That Hotel Too Young for You?
The moment I realized it's possible to age out of a hotel scene came at 2:03 a.m. on a Friday night. My husband and I had splurged on a stay at a posh hotel in New York's SoHo neighborhood. A few hours after going to bed, I was jolted awake by a pounding bass vibrating up from the establishment's chic second-floor lounge. Though we'd enjoyed a quiet cocktail there earlier in the evening, it was a public nightclub now. Two floors above the fray, I felt like I was at the party against my will—and that the hotel was to blame.
Your lodging actually can be too young—or too mature or too family-focused—for you. Many hotels target hyperspecific customers, and they will tailor everything from decor to guest amenities accordingly. So how do you avoid an unintentional nightclub suite, or a similar mishap? Deep research.

Horror Hit ‘Sinners' Coming To Streaming On Max This Week
Michael B Jordan plays twins in "Sinners." Sinners — Ryan Coogler's hit vampire thriller starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld — is coming soon to streaming on Max. Written and directed by Coogler, Sinners stars the filmmaker's Black Panther and Creed collaborator Jordan as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return home to Mississippi in 1932 after serving in World War I and working for the mob in Chicago. The logline for Sinners reads, 'Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.' Sinners also stars Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wumni Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and Delroy Lindo. Sinners opened in theaters on April 18 and made its debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on June 3. According to Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, Sinners will debut on the company's streaming service Max on Friday, July 4. Max — which will soon revert to its original name HBO Max — has three streaming tiers available. Viewers can subscribe to an an ad-based tier for $9.99 per month, an ad-free tier for $16.99 per month or an ad-free tier with 4K Ultra HD Programming for $20.99 per month. Michael B. Jordan Had One Big Reservation About Being In A Vampire Movie Naturally, a movie with vampires is going to require fake fangs and blood, and as it turns out, Michael B. Jordan was not a fan of one of them while making Sinners. "I liked the fangs. Fangs were dope. The blood was a bit messy and uncomfortable at times. The blood was a lot," Jordan, sitting alongside Ryan Coogler, told People in an April interview. Coogler then shed a bit more light on Jordan's disdain for fake blood for People, adding, "I got called into a meeting a few weeks in by my producer and my wife Zinzi Coogler, and she was like, 'Hey, we gotta talk about Mike.' I'm like, 'What? What's going on?' And she's like, 'The blood — he doesn't like it.' I'm like, 'Wait, what?'" Jordan then brought a little more clarity to the situation. "First of all, there's a difference between complaining and venting,' Jordan told People, laughing. 'I was just more venting, you know what I'm saying? But they care about me, so they had a meeting. I appreciate the meeting." Sinners continues to be a monster hit in theaters, earning $277.6 million domestically and $86.6 million in international ticket sales for a worldwide box office tally of $363.8 million to date. Sinners had a $90 million production budget before prints and advertising, The Numbers reported. The film also earned a 97% 'fresh' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics, who gave the film 375 reviews. In addition, Sinners earned a 96% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 25,000-plus verified user ratings. Sinners arrives on Max on Friday, July 4.

Pride Month photos show celebrations around the world
Wrapped in multicolored flags and waving protest signs, revelers across the globe have gathered throughout June for Pride events — a monthlong celebration of the LGBTQ community that also symbolizes an ongoing fight for equal rights and inclusion. The roots of Pride Month stretch back to June 28, 1969, when a police raid on New York City's Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, led to several nights of clashes with the bar's LGBTQ patrons and others, which became known as the Stonewall Riots or Stonewall Uprising — a demonstration that's now considered the start of the LGBTQ rights movement. Marches took place in Manhattan, Chicago and San Francisco to mark the anniversary of Stonewall the following June, and, over time, it became an annual event in more and more cities. Pride Month first gained federal recognition in 1999 from then-President Bill Clinton. Pride marches and festivals have been taking place throughout the month in different parts of the U.S. and around the world, and New York's 2025 Pride march, honoring the legacy of Stonewall, is scheduled for Sunday. Here is a look at some of the events from Washington, D.C., to Kathmandu and beyond.

NYT ‘Connections' Hints And Answers For Sunday, June 29th
Hints, clues and answers for today's Connections are here. Looking for Saturday's NYT Connections hints, clues and answers instead? You can find them here: It's a lovely weekend, though I'm a little sad it's already the last weekend of June. My favorite month of the year, come and gone. Summer has begun in earnest and the 4th Of July is just around the corner. I suppose we'll get some kind of patriotism-themed Connections that day, though usually when Connections have a 'theme' it's a headfake. In any case, we have some words to group. Let's get right to it! How To Play Connections Connections is the second-most popular NYT Games puzzle game outside of the main crossword itself, and an extremely fun, free offering that will get your brain moving every day. Play it right here. The goal is to take a group of 16 words and find links between four pairs of four of them. They could be specific categories of terms, or they could be little world puzzles where words may come before or after them you need to figure out. And they get more complicated from there. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder There is only one set of right answers for this, and you only get a certain number of tries so you can't just spam around until you find something. There are difficulty tiers coded by color, which will usually go from yellow, blue/green to purple as difficulty increases, so know that going in and when you start linking them together. You pick the four words you think are linked and either you will get a solve and a lit up row that shows you how you were connected. If you're close, it will tell you that you're one away. Again, four mistakes you lose, but if you want to know the answers without failing, either come here, or delete your web cookies and try again. If you want to play more puzzles, you can get an NYT Games subscription to access the full archives of all past puzzles. What Are Today's Connections Hints? These are the hints that are laid out on the puzzle board itself, but after that, we will get into spoiler territory with some hints and eventually the answers. Today's Connections What Are Today's Connections Groups? Alright, the full spoilers follow here as we get into what the groups are today: What Are Today's Connections Answers? The full-on answers are below for each group, finally inserting the four words in each category. Spoilers follow if you do not want to get this far. The Connections answers are: Today's Connections answers Not a terribly difficult Connections today. The one that got me was the dance moves. My first choice was EARTHWORM for this group, as I pictured that dance breakdancers do on the ground, though I think it's just called the worm. In any case, I swapped that out for CABBAGE PATCH and that worked. I was pretty certain that the purple words would be all the stuff you find in the ground, but I guessed what I suspected the green words were first. I got these all in order in the end, from yellow to blue to green to purple. I still think this puzzle would be more fun and just a tiny bit more challenging if they'd include a poison word or red herring, something to throw us off a bit more. One word that didn't fit. But maybe that would be too much. How did you do on today's Connections? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky or Facebook.
