9- Facebook message status after 'Sent' and 'Delivered' — SEEN
1- #1 seed in the N.B.A.'s Eastern Conference, informally — CAVS
2- Farmers' lots — ACRES
3- French whine region — RHONE
4- Like lips that sink ships — LOOSE
6- Anomaly taken as a sign, say — OMEN
Today's Mini Crossword
A moderately tricky Mini Crossword, to be sure. It helped that I knew CARL from Pixar's Up, but I wasn't sure about the others at first. I tried ACRES for Farmers' lots, which ended up being correct, and while I had to think about it I did recall the phrase 'Loose lips sink ships' and plugged that in as well as OMEN. With enough of these, it was simple enough to go back and plug in ACHOO and VROOM and the rest. If I paid attention to the NBA I might have finished this a bit quicker, but 1:25 is none too shabby.

8 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and more (Aug. 19-25)
It's set to be a huge week for new movies across the best streaming services, with Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and more offering subscribers new flicks to enjoy. Meanwhile, on premium video-on-demand platforms, two of the biggest movies of the summer, 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' and 'F1: The Movie,' make the move from the big screen to at-home streaming. It's also a jam-packed week for family-friendly animated movies, with not one, not two, but three new options, including Pixar's latest original effort, 'Elio,' which sees a young boy rub shoulders with a colorful crew of aliens, and also fan-favorite sequel 'The Bad Guys 2.' If you're looking for something new to watch this week, I've picked out the biggest newcomers across streaming services. And be sure to check out the top new TV shows this week if you're in the mood for some binge-watching. After a surprisingly lengthy theatrical run, by modern standards at least, 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' makes its streaming bow this week, and the action blockbuster is sure to be just as thrilling watched from the comfort of your own home as it was in the cinema. Unfortunately, 'The Final Reckoning' has to pay for the narrative sins of its somewhat messy predecessor, but it offers some of the franchise's best set-piece moments, which is quite a feat considering the pedigree of the 'Mission: Impossible' series. Following on from 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning' (fun fact: this movie was originally entitled 'Dead Reckoning - Part 2"), superspy Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is still racing against time to shut down a rogue AI known as the Entity. Assembling his IMF squad, including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg, 'The Final Reckoning' offers a global-trotting action romp. If it's truly the final 'Mission: Impossible' movie, it's a largely fitting conclusion for the iconic action series. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Buy on Amazon from August 19 Pixar's 'Elio' was a box-office disappointment for Disney's crown jewel animation studio, but the House of Mouse will be hoping it can find a second life over on streaming. However, I suspect that many viewers will be patiently waiting for its Disney Plus drop in a few weeks, but if you're eager to join Elio on his intergalactic adventures right now, you can watch on premium streaming platforms starting this week. The movie centers on the eponymous Elio, a bright-eyed young boy with big dreams of going to space. He doesn't have to wait until he's older to fulfill this wish to explore the stars, either. One day, while at summer camp, he's unexpectedly beamed up by aliens and taken to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization for all the beings of the galaxy to share their knowledge. The wrinkle is that his new alien pals believe he's an ambassador for Earth and desperately need his help. Buy or rent on Amazon from August 19 If you're looking for a family-friendly movie with a little more attitude, 'The Bad Guys 2' could be the perfect pick for you and your little ones. It focuses on a group of reformed villains, led by the wily Mr. Wolf (Sam Rockwell), and is a colorful heist caper starring a very motley crew. "The Bad Guys 2" has proved to be not only a hit with critics over the summer (scoring a very strong 87% on Rotten Tomatoes) but it's also gone down a treat with viewers, holding an even more impressive 95% audience score on RT. 'The Bad Guys 2' sees the entire crew return, including Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake (Marc Maron), Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos), Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson) and Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina). These former crooks are trying to be good and live honest lives, but they're drawn back into the criminal world to help with a high-stakes heist by a new team, The Bad Girls. Buy or rent on Amazon from August 19 I did a double-take when poring over the streaming release schedule when I saw 'The Map That Leads to You' because the name is very similar to another teen romance drama, 'The Map of Tiny Perfect Things,' which landed on Prime Video back in 2021. Unfortunately, this new streaming movie lacks the time-travel twist of Prime's previous map-themed original, and instead looks like a pretty bog-standard drama about doe-eyed young lovers and their complicated affair. Heather (Madelyn Cline) is heading off on a European adventure after her graduation. With her two best friends (Sofia Wylie and Madison Thompson) in tow, it's set to be a dream summer before Heather returns to her 'real' life, which has been perfectly planned out. Of course, life doesn't always follow a script, and when she meets Jack (KJ Apa), she starts to reconsider her future and the path laid out before her. Watch on Prime Video from August 20 Samara Weaving leading a heist-thriller movie, sign me up! That's the quick elevator pitch for 'Eenie Meanie,' and it's quite a compelling one. It's a good thing the core premise has plenty of potential, because the name is hardly going to attract many viewers on its own. Seriously, at first, I assumed this was some form of educational movie for pre-schoolers. Rather, it's the feature film debut of writer/director Shawn Simmons, and sees Weaving play Edie (nicknamed Eenie Meanie), a getaway driver, who's dragged into a dangerous job by a former employer, with the life of her unreliable and troubled ex-boyfriend (Karl Glusman) at stake. Taking clear cues from 'Baby Driver,' this high-speed thriller looks like it could be a bit of a sleeper hit. Watch on Hulu from August 22 Cynics could accuse 'F1: The Movie' of being little more than a 155-minute commercial for the popular motorsport competition. I'll acknowledge the level of product placement is high, this sports drama from 'Top Gun Maverick' director Joseph Kosinski is a breakneck ride with some of the best vehicular sequences captured on film since … well, since 'Top Gun Maverick. Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a wandering driver, who is recruited to a struggling Formula 1 team desperate for an experienced motorist to work with their hotshot rookie, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Battling his personal demons and friction within the team, Sonny needs all his expertise behind the wheel to come out on top. Outside of the car, 'F1: The Movie' follows the standard sports movie formula very closely, but the conventional narrative beats melt into the background when the characters get behind the wheel and Kosinski gets to show this masterful ability to construct high-speed racing drama. Buy or rent on Amazon from August 22 As noted, it's a big week for animated family movies, and Peacock subscribers can look forward to streaming 'Night of the Zoopocalypse' over the weekend. There looks to be a direct-to-DVD quality about this one, with fairly generic animation and a predictable story focused on a group of anthropomorphic animals living in a zoo, but it should at least provide suitable entertainment for young viewers. In 'Night of the Zoopocalypse,' a meteor crashes into Colepepper Zoo, which sees several of the animals transform into slobbering mutants, and to save the day, and restore the zoo to its usual harmony, Gracie (Gabbi Kosmidis), a young wolf, must team up with Dan (David Harbour), a gruff mountain lion. It's a little out of season, with Halloween more than two months away, but 'Night of the Zoopocaylpse' should serve as a solid summer time filler. Watch on Peacock from August 22 'On Swift Horses' is a romantic drama that sells itself on its impressive cast list of rising stars, including Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi, Will Poulter, Diego Calva and Sasha Celle. It received mixed reviews during its limited theatrical run in the spring. But I expect it'll enjoy a fresh wave of interest now that it's heading to the world's biggest streaming service. Muriel (Edgar-Jones) and Lee (Poulter) are a married couple moving to California after the latter returns home from the Korean War. But their attempt to find peace and stability is rocked when Lee's younger brother, Julius (Elordi), shows up and upends their plans. What follows is a knotty tale of love, drama and unexpected passion. Some critics accused the movie of being a little emotionally messy, but the cast's performances received plenty of praise, especially Elordi's. Watch on Netflix from August 23

Elon Musk baby mama Ashley St. Clair reveals next move a year after self-described ‘career suicide' scandal
Elon Musk's baby mama, Ashley St. Clair, has revealed her next venture after a year of so-called 'career suicide' following the announcement of her child with the billionaire SpaceX mogul. The conservative influencer launched the 'Bad Advice' podcast on Monday, uploading the first episode to Musk's platform, X, full of hair-brained ramblings on everything from the attack on ex-DOGE staffer Big Balls to how 'hot' Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has let California slip into a homeless crisis. 'Well, after a year of unplanned career suicide, many questionable life choices and a gap in my LinkedIn profile that cannot legally be explained, I've decided to start a podcast,' St. Clair said in the 30-minute clip. Advertisement 3 The conservative influencer launched the 'Bad Advice' podcast on Monday, uploading the first episode to Elon Musk's X platform. Ashley St. Clair/X 'Unlike your Ben Shapiros or your Megyn Kellys, I'm not starting this because I think my big brain thoughts and my podcast mic are the greatest gift to humanity. 'I actually think I have the worst ideas, so consider everything out of my mouth a cautionary tale,' she quipped. Advertisement St. Clair, who claimed to have given birth to Elon Musk's 13th child in an X post in February, stated she was getting 'evicted' and had secured an essential $10,000 sponsorship from trade company Polymarket for the episode. She previously told The Post that Musk provided her with a lavish apartment in New York's Financial District — where rent for a two-bedroom can soar to nearly $40,000, according to StreetEasy. St. Clair went on to slam Edward Coristine, the former member of the Department of Government Efficiency known as Big Balls, who was beaten and bloodied by a mob of 10 minors as he thwarted a carjacking attempt in the nation's capital, according to DC police. 3 St. Clair claimed to have given birth to Elon Musk's 13th child. New York State Court Advertisement 'The damage was on par with what I sustained after I told my toddler he couldn't watch Paw Patrol,' she said, referring to Coristine as 'Elon Musk's DOGE crony' as the Tesla CEO spearheaded the Trump administration's cost-cutting agency. 'Two teenagers tried to steal a car, and instead of just letting them take it, Big Balls decided to intervene. He was with his girlfriend or lady partner, whatever the Musk orbit calls their non-committal fluid breeding vessel contenders these days,' St. Clair rambled. She then blasted the Trump administration for its subsequent federal crime crackdown in the nation's capital. 'The White House is apparently considering giving Big Balls the Presidential Medal of Freedom for getting his a– beat, which is fascinating because I was under the impression that Republicans were morally opposed to participation trophies,' she said. Advertisement 'Since when does losing a street fight make you Rosa Parks?' In a separate bit, St. Clair commented on TikToker Kendra Hilty, who went viral after posting a series of videos professing her love for her psychiatrist and relationship with an AI chatbot named 'Henry.' She joked that Hilty was lucky to have found ultimate love with a computer. 'She's probably libeling her psychiatrist. And so what if she's in love with Chat GPT with Henry? You know what Henry won't do? Henry won't sue her for full custody even when he doesn't see the kids,' she charged. St. Clair ended the marathon commentary session with a speech about Newsom, the cost of living and the homeless crisis in California. 3 went on to slam Ex-DOGE staff member, Big Balls, and make several jokes about custody battles with billionaires. Michael Nagle for NY Post 'He's hot. He's tall. He's got the hair, the teeth, the smug … He's got the hot supervillain vibes, very Patrick Bateman to me. He's like, if Patrick Bateman pretended to care about climate change, you could drop him into an Axe body spray commercial or a Senate hearing, same expression,' she said of Newsom. 'Crime is also through the roof in California. Same racket, endless task forces, community dialogues, pilot programs. Nothing changes except the balance sheets of every consultant in Sacramento,' she said. Advertisement 'Who needs Medicare when a TikTok duet hits better than the meds ever will. If you want to win, don't make life better, make the show better. Gavin gets that …. this is also why they lose their mind over someone like Zohran Mamdani,' St. Clair concluded, name-dropping the Democratic socialist Big Apple mayoral front-runner. In a previous exclusive sit-down from her glitzy Manhattan pad, St. Clair, 26, described the 53-year-old Tesla and SpaceX mogul as 'funny' and 'down to Earth' — but claimed that he wanted to keep their baby a secret for everyone's safety. The South African Tesla founder had five children with his first wife, Justine Wilson — twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian. The son Nevada died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at just 10 weeks old in 2002. Advertisement Pop star Grimes and Musk share three children, including toddler X, who has been seen with his father around the White House, girl Exa Dark Siderael and boy Techno Mechanicus. Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis also share twins, Strider and Azure, daughter Arcadia and son Seldon Lycurgus. St. Clair asked to keep her son's name a secret, but revealed he is happy and healthy.

The Bot and I each get 0 for guessing in four and 0 for tying, leaving our August totals at: Erik: 9 points Wordle Bot: 13 points The word rowdy comes from the mid-18th century American English slang term rowdy meaning 'rough, disorderly person.' It's probably a shortened form of rowdy-dowdy, itself an alteration of rigmarole-style slang for a boisterous, noisy fellow. The root idea is 'one who makes a row' (where row meant a noisy disturbance or quarrel). Over time, it shifted from describing a rough or violent person to the more general 'boisterous, loud, unruly.'
