As the smoke and particulate begin to clear, our hope is more of us will begin to make it outside to celebrate summertime.  As you prepare for the weekend, we highlight a few stories that will make you smile.  We found a new podcast based on another podcast's recommendation, which led to a recommendation for a summer book!  Images from infrastructure and manufacturing that look like they belong in the movies, and we follow that up with a YouTube clip with 100 of the greatest movie insults!

In the lead from the Axios Today podcast, we were introduced to Greta Johnsen, who hosts Nerdette on WBEZChicago.  The Nerdette podcast is "a weekly interview show that helps you unwind with fun conversations, inspiring ideas, and delightful recommendations."  Sounds like another newsletter we like to write!  Axios Today interviewed Greta Johnsen, who gave a few recommendations for summer reading.  One of her recommendations has already made it to our Kindle.  A new book from Shannon Chakraborty called The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi – the story of a women pirate told around the 12th century, a combination of historical fiction and fantasy.  A retired pirate is recruited to do one more job, hoping for treasure and a legacy to follow.

In another twist, when the first quick 20+ minute podcast from Nerdette finished, it auto-played to the next episode, which focused on a conversation between the host and a few guests.  The conversation went from the end of Netflix password sharing to understanding what Hard Pants really are.  A conversation about hard pants, which is only a thing after a global pandemic.  Greta Johnsen is a delightful podcast host and interviewer.  Add it to your favorite podcast app for some summer fun.

Moss And Fogg bring the images and visuals as usual today.  A story about infrastructure projects that look like movie sets.  We need to find out what a Neutrino is and why we would need to detect it; the image looks like something out of the movie Alien?  The bucket wheel excavator is from a horror movie and an elevator testing facility?

Here you go, 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time.  A great way to waste a few minutes to launch your weekend!
