2025 whodunnit, dir. Rian Johnson, Daniel Craig, Josh O'Connor: IMDb. We'll need an old priest and a young priest…

I like to run this post on Memorial Day (one version first ran May 28, 2012) because when I think about soldiers and wars and Memorial Day, I think about Uncle Bundy. He was awfully opinionated and excessively direct but I admired him...

A look back at five months looking for a job: some personal numbers, takeaways and what I noticed about hiring in 2026.
