OED newness
A June 2026 update: “The latest update to the Oxford English Dictionary includes more than 900 new words, phrases, and senses, including floordrobe, blingy and humblebrag.”
Floordrobe! Years ago I could have used that word. Not so much now.

Bear Moleskines
[From “Caramel,” The Bear (2026). Click for larger notebooks.]
Donna Berzatto (Jamie Lee Curtis) opens her son Carmy’s (Jermey Allen White) notebooks. And we see that they’re Moleskines.
This final season of The Bear is a mixed bag. The first few episodes are mostly scene-setting — and commercials. Many, many commercials (if you have Hulu with commercials). The seventh episode (the one with these notebooks) is by far the best. And the eight and final episode offers a number of suitable, if easy to guess, endings.
