Through the lens of a security camera, we see two men standing next to a BMW. It's about 2:30 A.M. on April 4, 2023, and the car is parked in a secluded spot underneath the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. The owner of the car is wearing light-colored clothing. His name is Nima Momeni, and he's a thirty-eight-year-old IT consultant. The other man, dressed in black and gray, is a hard-driving and hard-partying tech executive named Bob Lee. A prodigiously gifted programmer with a zest for life, Lee, forty-three, is a beloved figure in the Bay Area tech scene with a wide personal and professional network. But here, in the middle of the night on a dark street, he is alone with Momeni. Minutes from now, Lee will be bleeding to death. |

| The decline of good bars has, I believe, led to the renewed popularity of private member clubs, where you can actually speak in measured tones (and the best gossip should be trafficked in close confidence). At bars and restaurants, there are bad acoustics and worse music. People must scream to make themselves heard. All that's left—and really all that you feel—is revelers barking at the top of their voices and the pulsing beat. Good grief. |

| A host can make or break an episode, rocket a sketch to virality, or keep everyone talking about SNL deep into the week after it airs. But these stars did it best. |

| There is perhaps no mind-altering substance as tightly woven into the fabric of daily life than caffeine. Nearly 80 percent of adults in the U.S. consume caffeine, in some form, every day. Coffee is the primary caffeine-delivery mechanism for many people—two thirds of American adults drink it every day—and many consider it an indispensable part of daily life. T-shirts and, naturally, coffee mugs exclaim, "Not before I've had my coffee" or "But first, coffee," as if the travails of everyday living are impossible without a morning cup of joe. For some, coffee even serves as a handy substitute for having a personality. So ubiquitous is caffeine in our culture that it doesn't even register to people as a drug. |
