Five years ago in the middle of a reckoning over abuse and misconduct, the players of the NWSL were debating if they should save the league or burn it down. They picked both. On the last five years, free to read at @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

when I ran the GSA and kids asked what to do when they saw someone being bullied or heard someone being homophobic or transphobic, I said that a lot of the time the harshest critique is just one of their peers saying "Gross, that's not funny." We used to practice saying it.

In both film and video games, you see a ton of *project cancellations* and a general difficulty in funding new projects, which wouldn't be the case if AI was displacing workers in producing those products—you'd expect the opposite, in fact, if it was becoming cheaper to make a movie/game.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

People want to talk about trains but are missing out on the transformative power of a well-organized bus network. Colorado's Bustang has knocked intercity bus service out of the park and added 18 new routes since launching Bustang in 2015. Illinois should directly copy Colorado's success.

The Connecticut Sun's final game is tonight. Connecticut and its fans bought into the WNBA at its low point, turning a profit when the NBA's owners saw the league as a moneypit, only to lose their team now that everyone sees big bucks in women's sports. Some thoughts on the setting of the Sun:

Surprisingly, moving the team to Connecticut worked. In 2010, the Sun became the first WNBA team to turn a profit — during a global recession, and during the league’s nadir of popularity. The casino in the middle of nowhere became a fortress. The Sun has won 64.5 percent of its home games. It developed a real fanbase and made four WNBA Finals.

The Connecticut Sun is not the first WNBA team to die. (Enjoy this haunting image of the mascots for the Sacramento Monarchs, Utah Starzz, Detroit Shock, and yes, the Houston Comets, hanging out, smiling, not realizing that death will soon come for them.)

But it’s the first WNBA team to die for this reason: Not because nobody cared, not because it couldn’t make money, not because it couldn’t find fans or win games, not because the league is shrinking … but actually because the league is growing. The Sun helped the WNBA survive, but the period of mere survival is over. The league is moving on to bigger markets and bigger money and leaving Connecticut behind.

Multiple rounds of moderate-heavy rain will impact portions of the Appalachians & Mid-Atlantic. Tstorms with isolated severe wind gusts will be possible this afternoon from parts of the Southeast into the Appalachians. Multi-day heavy rain will pose a flash flood threat in New Mexico beginning Tues.

A weather map of the contiguous United States showing total forecasted precipitation.

Light to moderate precipitation (0.10 to 1.50 inches) covers wide areas of the West, Central Plains, Midwest, and Southeast.

Higher precipitation amounts are highlighted in two main regions:

South Central U.S.: A band of heavy rain (2.00 to over 5.00 inches, shown in purple and red) extends from western and northern Texas through Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and parts of Arkansas and Illinois.

Southeast / Atlantic Coast: Heavy precipitation (3.00 to over 10.00 inches, with offshore areas reaching up to 20.00 inches shown in red, orange, and yellow) covers Florida, the Southeast coast, and extends northeastward along the Eastern Seaboard.

I laid out the path to the funniest WNBA playoff scenario (5-way tie for 4th through 8th) in today’s newsletter and fwiw the first two results have gone as needed

• Here is the specific path to a five-way tie, if you want to root for total chaos:
• New York goes 3-0 (at
TOR, vs ATL x2)
• Which means means ATL
has gone 0-2 (at NYL x2)
• Washington goes 3-0 (at
IND, vs CT, at CHI)
• Indiana goes 1-1 after losing to Washington (vs
MIN, at MIN)
• Dallas goes 2-0 (at PHX, at
SEA
• There you have it, they're all 28-16!
