The WNBA Had Too Much Going On Last Night
“Wow,” Kahleah Copper tweeted yesterday evening. She was the rare WNBA player with the time to post and spectate on Wednesday. The final day of the group play stage of the league’s in-season Commissioner’s Cup tournament involved six games in one night, the first five overlapping. On account of the odd number of WNBA teams right now, Copper’s Phoenix Mercury were the lucky 13th team out.

And btw, Cuomo, like Trump, is from Queens.
The Unisphere from the 1964 World's Fair. PS: If there were a Joe Rogan of the left he would be from Queens too. :-)
PPS: Queens doesn't have an Empire State Building, and they tore down Shea Stadium. So the Unisphere from the last World's Fair will have to do. But Queens is probably the most ethnically diverse place in the world. Think about that for a minute and how the fight for the soul of the US will be fought in Queens.
PPPS: I come from Flushing.

I’ve quickly become accustomed to Liquid Glass. The iPad windowing enhancements do make it feel more like a real computer, but I usually run things in … Continue reading Alfred-like Shortcuts in Spotlight →
