Welcome. Saturday is Juneteenth, Sunday is Father’s Day and at 11:32 p.m. Eastern on Sunday night, summer officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere. How will you spend the weekend? Here are some ideas for making it a full and cultured one, whether you’re at home, away or some combination of the two.

During quarantine, a number of white-noise generators sprung up allowing you to recreate sounds of un-locked-down life. I recommended “I Miss My Bar,” which let you experience the clinking and chattering of your favorite watering hole even if you couldn’t be there physically. Now, as many prepare to return to the office, there is “Homesick Sounds,” which lets you create bespoke mash-ups of at-home noises like “Baby (Awake),” “Mowing the Lawn” and “What’s That Beep?”
