Is this the Jordin Canada game? I think this is the Jordin Canada game.

It feels like Jordin Canada must have like 6 steals by now.

JFC, Allisha Gray’s poor finger.

Uh oh, I do not want Allisha Gray with a dislocated finger. Bad way to start the series.

(I actually think there were plenty of justified concerns over TikTok but this does the same type thing you would be worried about etc. etc.)

And they told us TikTok was dangerous

All I’m saying is the New York Knicks would never have given us their historic NBA championship run if the first round was a best of 3. If the Lynx lose, the Lynx lose, but I would like a team that fun to have the same type shot.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

Yikes. Hope Jordin is gonna be ok. ATL doesn’t have a very deep bench.

Hot take: first round of both NBA and WNBA playoffs should be best of 5 series.

Having a discussion earlier about how the process *is* the art of creation, and that's really true. You can never know what the thing you're making is until you start actually making it, and that's at least as true for nonfiction stuff like I mostly do as for fiction.

This is honestly the most frustrating game of basketball I’ve watched in a minute.

Add Stewie to this list too. So many misses she normally makes.

000

But need more. The move is not to just move it around the perimeter and shoot a three when they’ve been cold from there all game.

000

These bad misses from Phee feel so out of character. What’s going on here?

Dang. I don’t know what I was expecting but Silver really hit the Clips. It’s probably an appropriate punishment, but brutal nonetheless.

I just remembered how triggered I was when I discovered that Dolly Parton only had one album on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums. Let's do better on that next time.

I recommend to you this podcast series about Dolly Parton by Jad Abumrad (creator of Radio Lab). You may ask: how did a MacArthur Award winning pub radio guy meet Dolly? Because she personally funded his father's vaccine research, that's how. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dol...

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

understand that the wnba has been under siege because it’s a league of women, especially black women. the Right™️ thinks it’s sweet out here and ripe for rabble rousing, but —as is usually the case— the Right has underestimated black women.

For anyone wondering about the financial state of the Gates Foundation, I looked it up on Nonprofit Explorer. My hot take: if you’re a billionaire and your family foundation’s revenues are greater than its expenditures, you’re doing it wrong. Spend down your fortune, you can’t take it with you.

It’s not brilliant literature or anything but it sure is fun and it’s an easy page turner. It’s kinda Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy meets the Hunger Games 🤷🏻‍♂️
