Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Thursday, June 19th
In case you missed Wednesday's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here:
It's June 19th which is also known as 'Juneteenth' or Emancipation Day, a celebration of the end of the horrific institution of slavery in America. On June 19th, 1865 Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas, just months after the 13th Amendment was proposed in Congress. The amendment was ratified in December of that year.
A good day, in other words. It's also the day before my birthday, and the last full day of spring, as the 20th is also the summer solstice. Now let's solve this Mini!
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.

A few of these were tricky. It didn't occur to me, as it so often doesn't, that the electronics upgrade in 1-Across would be two words. I'm still not sure what journalism has to do with the word HORSE. Others helped this all come together, however. VOTES and LOS and ACHOO and so forth. Today's Mini took me 1:22.

People Share Names That Perfectly Match Jobs: 'Dentist named Dr. Drewel'
Some people have names so perfectly matched to their jobs, it's hard not to wonder if fate had a hand in it — like the dentist named Dr. Molar or the meteorologist Larry Sprinkle. Coincidence? Probably. Funny? Absolutely. When Tyler Froberg, a Texas-based fifth-generation farmer, and U.S. Army veteran, served in the military, he trained in dive school. There were two supervisors: Sergeant Wazowksi — nicknamed 'Wookie' — and Sergeant Gills. 'I made a joke one time and asked, 'When do we get our cool nicknames?' Froberg recalled.'And Sergeant Gills looked at me and goes, 'What do you mean by that?'' Froberg, 33, had mistakenly assumed that Gills, like Wookie, was short for something more ordinary. 'Imagine you're a diver in the army and your last name is gills!' Froberg says, laughing at the memory. Froberg also knows Trevor Bales, a hay farmer, and Harold Winger, a pigeon breeder. Earlier this year, Froberg invited his TikTok followers to share 'someone whose name fits perfectly with their career choice.' Their responses did not disappoint: A urologist named Dr. Leak, and even a choir teacher named Brenda Music. 'We have a cat scan tech named Catherine Skan. She is literally Cat Skan.' 'Chiropractor in my town is Dr McCracken.' 'My high school cooking teacher was Miss Fish … until she married and became Mrs Baker.' 'Orthodontist in Albuquerque named Dr. Hurt. He's tag line: It's just my name, not my intention.' 'My grandparents were farmers and Farmers.' 'Worked with a woman years ago whose name was Penny Nichols. Then she got married and became Penny Cash. And yes, she worked in the Accounting Department.' 'Dentist named Dr. Drewel.' 'My kids dentist is Dr. Silvertooth.' 'There's a urologist in Toledo named Dick Tapper.' 'Oakland police academy instructor Sgt Sergeant.' 'My mom's best friend was a Barber with the last name Barber.' 'A urologist ... Dr. Brian M. Dicks. 100% serious!! His wife took his name and is a gynecologist!!' 'my podiatrist dr. corn.' 'Surgeon in my hometown named Dr. Cutright.' 'My partner is a litigation attorney. Part of his job is to examine witnesses in court. His last name is Grills.' 'There was a teacher at my high school named Mr. Wood. You guessed it. He taught woodshop.' 'Dr in Houston. Dr Butts. Proctologist.' You can't make this stuff up, and with names like these, you don't have to! This article was originally published on

Meet The Man Who Has Drunk Beer In 3,806 Breweries
Chris O'Leary at Thirty Eight O Six Brewing, the 3,806th brewery he has drunk beer in. Chris O'Leary Chris O'Leary has kept track of the breweries he has drunk beer in since 2003. 'But I really started dedicating my time to keeping a list in 2011, when I challenged myself to visit 30 breweries in 30 days,' said O'Leary in a telephone interview. Spoiler alert: he met that challenge. By now, O'Leary has visited breweries in all 50 US states—finishing with Mississippi in 2018—and in 33 countries on five continents. In order for O'Leary to count a brewery, two conditions must be met: If a brewery has more than one location and O'Leary visits more than one, those can each count, but only if each location brews beer and he drinks a beer brewed at each one. And if a brewery closes, but another business opens in that same place, he can count it again if he goes back and has another beer made by the new brewery. Twice, he has visited the same physical location three times to count three breweries: in Portland, Oregon, The Commons became Modern Times Beer and is now Living Haus Beer, and in Providence, Rhode Island, Long Live Beerworks outgrew their location, which became Beer On Earth and now is Origin Beer Project. Hunting down breweries to visit has become a sport for O'Leary. He regularly travels for work as a media strategist for an advertising agency, which often allows visits to breweries in new locales. But that also arms him with an abundance of airline miles—he has Platinum Medallion status and is a Million Miler with Delta Air Lines—which he uses to travel even more. O'Leary also achieved an amount of fame ten years ago when he was the only passenger on board a flight from Cleveland, Ohio to New York City. In addition to his job in advertising, O'Leary writes Brew York, a New York City beer blog and an associated newsletter that talks about his travels beyond New York City. On June 19, 2025, O'Leary drank a beer at Thirty Eight O Six Brewing, in Berwick, Australia, the 3,806th brewery he has drunk beer in. The milestone was months in planning. By looking at the rate he typically visits breweries, upcoming travel plans and going to or not going to breweries that are readily available to him, he was able to ensure the apropos brewery visit. It wasn't easy. 'I was planning to visit five breweries in New Jersey a few days ago,' said O'Leary. 'I was locking my door when the key broke inside the lock.' That set O'Leary back, with zero breweries visited that day. Shortly thereafter, he was in Buffalo, New York for a friend's wedding. He was only able to visit three breweries on that trip, because it was the Memorial Day long weekend and many breweries he had planned to visit were closed. But in any sport, world-class athletes find a way to persevere. And today, O'Leary sipped victory nectar, Thirty Eight O Six NEIPA. To put that achievement in perspective, Max Finnance, America's most credentialed beer judge, a BJCP Grand Master And Master Cicerone and who works full-time in the beer industry, has only visited 998 breweries, he confirmed via email. And John Holl, the podcast host, publisher and the voice of beer in America, who travels the world visiting breweries as his full-time job, has only visited 2,638 breweries, also confirmed via email. 'I first got into beer when I lived for a year and a half in Burlington, Vermont,' said O'Leary. That was 2004 to 2006 and O'Leary would regularly visit local breweries such as Magic Hat Brewing and Long Trail Brewing that had established themselves as local stalwarts, and the Alchemist, which opened while O'Leary lived in Burlington and has since gone on to become a darling of the craft beer world. 'A lot was happening in breweries at the time,' he says. 'It was a good time to enjoy on-premise beer.' 'In November 2011, I was on a work trip to Portland, Oregon,' recalled O'Leary. 'I had started travelling more for work and I realized I could visit 30 breweries in 30 days, so I started a list using the notes app on my phone.' In all of 2011, O'Leary visited 52 breweries, including the 30 breweries he did end up visiting in 30 days. He mentally went back through his prior travels and brewery visits to create the list of 75 breweries he had visited to that point. In 2012, he added 54 more breweries to the list and in 2013, 121 more. Then he thought, 'I'm going to dedicate more of my time to this,' and indeed he did: 'I would take a beer trip every year and try to hit a few breweries. After that, it took on a life of its own,' says O'Leary. 'It helped that I was often traveling to Denver, Portland and Seattle for work, cities with substantial beer scenes.' The sheer number of breweries O'Leary has visited is impressive, but he also makes a sport of visiting appropriate breweries: O'Leary also seeks out 'extreme' breweries. When asked if he could teleport to any brewery in the world, O'Leary is quick to respond. But surprisingly, the answer is not one he has yet to check off his list. Instead, he says, 'I'd go to Russian River Brewing in Santa Rosa, California. It was brewery #641 for me. That's a place that will never get old for me.'

Keke Palmer Is a Vintage Versace Golden Girl
Keke Palmer deserves a gold medal for her vintage game. For the last month, she's been riding the Chanel wave with her stylist Molly Dickson, pulling a tulle-bottomed black dress from the fall 1993 haut couture collection for the BET Awards, and wearing a cropped black, gold logo-buttoned mini-jacket from spring 1995 out in New York. Just yesterday (June 19), the actor stepped out in New York once again, proving that Keke Palmer is the moment's true vintage golden girl: She wore a vintage, gold and textured Versace mini-dress with the house's Medusa buttons across the bodice, with under-the-chest cut-outs. Palmer paired it with platform gold heels with a delicate ankle strap, a gold mini-handbag, a thick gold braided bracelet, and gold pendant earrings. Palmer wore her hair in her now signature red lengths with a deep, flipped over side part. Keke Palmer in vintage Chanel. Photo: TheStewartofNY Keke Palmer in more archival Chanel. TheStewartofNY From John Galliano-era Dior to show-stopping Versace, to cinched and snatched archival Dolce & Gabbana—it's all to play for in the world of archive pulls for Palmer and Dickson.
