Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Saturday, June 7th
In case you missed Friday's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here:
Paul Tassi and I traded weeks for the NYT Mini Crossword guides while I was away in Scotland, so I'm taking over for him this week. That means you're stuck with me for two weeks straight. Lucky you! It's Saturday, which means we have our biggest and most daunting Mini of the week to solve. Let's get right to it, shall we?
The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it's free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you'll need the app to tackle the archive.
Spoilers ahead!

Today's Mini Crossword
As you can see, this one took me awhile. 3:28 to be exact. I really struggled with a lot of these, only filling them in after I'd knocked out easier ones like 8-Across (ARE) and 12-Across (STOOL). 1-Across was also pretty straightforward (MAT) but others less so. I was thinking CHECK for what you'd request at the end of a restaurant meal, but TOGOBOX makes sense. 'Royal' sleeping options was less of a clue and more of a headfake. It didn't occur to me for the longest time that the puzzle meant KING and QUEEN beds, though it's obvious in retrospect. Clearly, I'm a little rusty.

FKA Twigs and Shia LaBeouf reach settlement in abuse lawsuit
British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs and Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf have reached an agreement in her 2020 abuse lawsuit. FKA Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, had accused her former partner of physical, mental and emotional abuse. In a joint statement, their lawyers confirmed the settlement, but said the details would "remain private". LaBeouf previously said many allegations against him are untrue but apologised for the hurt he had caused. The settlement puts an end to a case that has dragged on for five years with little progress. According legal documents seen by Us Weekly, Barnett asked the court to dismiss all claims against LaBeouf with prejudice, meaning that she cannot refile them in the future. A trial had been initially set for last year but was later postponed. On Tuesday, Barnett's lawyer Bryan Freedman and LaBeouf's lawyer Shawn Holley said both parties wished each other well. "Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court," they said in the statement. "While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future." The pair met on the set of the movie Honey Boy in 2018 and dated for nine months, before splitting in 2019 citing conflicting work schedules. But in legal documents filed in 2020, Barnett accused LaBeouf of "relentless abuse" including "mental and verbal harassment" that eventually turned into "physical violence". She detailed incidents of LaBeouf waking her up in the middle of the night and "strangling" her, throwing her against a car during an argument and becoming angry when she spoke to other men. In a 2021 interview with Louis Theroux on his BBC Radio 4 Grounded podcast, Barnett said she felt "scared and intimidated and controlled" by LaBeouf, and was left with ongoing mental trauma from their relationship. "I was left with PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] from that, which again is just something that I don't think we really talk about as a society just in terms of the healing when leaving, and how much work that has to be done to recover, to get back to the person that you were before," she said at the time. LaBeouf previously told The New York Times that many of Barnett's allegations are not true but said he owed her and Karolyn Pho, another woman whose claims featured in the lawsuit, "the opportunity to air their statements publicly and [for me to] accept accountability for those things I have done". "I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say," he added in another statement. Barnett released her latest album Eusexua earlier this year and has received multiple accolades including two Brit Award nominations for best British female solo artist. LaBeouf's latest film was this year's crime drama Henry Johnson. He is known for the Transformers franchise and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

'Daily Show' Takes Trump's Latest 'Bribe' In A Brutal On-Air Demonstration
'Daily Show' correspondent Josh Johnson on Tuesday roasted Donald Trump for getting snacks involved in his series of attempts to distract from talk about late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Johnson — in his first monologue since being added to the show's rotation of guest hosts — turned to coverage of the president's claim that he convinced Coca-Cola to use real cane sugar in its signature drink. The company confirmed Tuesday that it will release such a version of the drink later this year. 'This is so insulting. Trump's treating Americans like a kid you can bribe with a treat. Allow me to demonstrate what Donald Trump is going for here,' said Johnson before taking a Coke can from under his desk, cracking it open and taking a sip. 'Mm, I don't care about pedophilia anymore!' Johnson stressed that Trump, who was friends with Epstein for years before a falling out in 2004, is 'desperate to move on' from files tied to Epstein and the backlash his administration has faced for its handling of his case. He flagged how House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) abruptly shut down House business early for a five-week recess on Tuesday to avoid a bipartisan effort to force a vote on the release of files on Epstein. 'Do you understand that they clear Congress out for the summer like they found a dookie in the pool?' Josh Johnson joked. He later highlighted the administration's release of hundreds of thousands of FBI records related to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1968 assassination. 'That's how bad things are for Trump, his back is against the wall so hard he's releasing more Black history,' Johnson quipped. The MLK files release sparked a blunt response from the late civil rights icon's youngest daughter, Bernice King, who suggested Trump release the Epstein files next on Monday. 'Damn, that is cold. Do you know how much you have to screw up for Dr. King's family to go, 'No, no, we choose violence?'' Johnson said. Check out more of Johnson's Tuesday monologue on 'The Daily Show.' Related...

Philadelphia radio DJs remember Ozzy Osbourne: "He started it all"
Seventeen days after appearing on stage with his Black Sabbath band mates for the final time, Ozzy Osbourne died Tuesday at the age of 76. Osbourne is known both as a pioneer of heavy metal and as a goofy and lovable father on a hit reality TV show of the early 2000s. He was born John Michael Osbourne on Dec. 3, 1948. 93.3 WMMR DJ Jacky BamBam said, "He started it all … Ozzy was your Prince of Darkness." "Watching Ozzy on stage, listening to his music, it gives you life," DJ Sara Parker said. "It makes you feel that wild energy that makes you just want to push forward." Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates have been referred to as the Beatles of heavy metal, pioneers whose ingenuity and sound influenced countless acts who came after them. "He was a little cuckoo for cuckoo puffs, but that's why we loved him," BamBam added. That impact extended far beyond the industry, however. "As a kid growing up, you know, not knowing where you fit in this world, and to have something that you found not only the music that you like but the community that surrounds it and people that are like-minded with that, you know, it really set the course of my life," WMMR DJ Ryan Shuttleworth said. Black Sabbath's first U.S. concert was at Glassboro State College — now Rowan University — on Oct. 30, 1970. Years later, a South Jersey kid who would graduate from Rowan came across and was touched by the band and its energetic lead singer. Mike DiFranco, a lifelong fan, mentioned one of his songs, "I Don't Want to Change the World," which he interprets to mean, just be you. He added that if not for a friendship he formed with a fellow Osbourne fan in high school — his now brother-in-law — he may not be married to his wife today. Osbourne lived life to the fullest, and that's exactly how he'll be remembered.
