    The myth of California’s economic standing
    “ICYMI: California Poised to Become World’s 4th Biggest Economy,” heralded a press release from Gov. Gavin Newsom late last year.
    “While critics often say California’s best days are behind us, reality proves otherwise — our economic growth and job gains continue to fuel the nation’s economy,” Newsom said in the announcement. “I feel tremendous pride in California’s resilience, leadership, and our formula for success.”

    It’s a dark and stormy night.
    Well, not really.
    But it could be! Because dark and stormy stuff is happening.
    There’s been a murder most foul.
    A killer is on the loose.
    And a party is going just plain off the rails.
    And there’s more. Everyone at the party is a suspect, and the murderer is among them.

    SAN FRANCISCO – Warriors guard Steph Curry is expected to be available for Sunday’s regular season finale against the Clippers. 
    “We’re planning on him playing, but he’s got to get through warmups first,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.
    During Friday’s win in Portland, Curry went back to the locker room with 1:59 remaining in the first quarter after hitting his right thumb on a Blazer defender’s knee on a drive.

    Angels’ Nolan Schanuel has improved his numbers with better bat speed
    HOUSTON — Nolan Schanuel spent his winter trying to improve his bat speed, and so far it’s worked.
    The Angels first baseman has increased his average bat speed from 65.2 mph to 68.2 mph, making him one of just three everyday players in the big leagues to have an increase of at least 3 mph.
    Schanuel came into Sunday’s game hitting .283 with a .790 OPS. He hit his first homer of the season on Saturday. Last year Schanuel hit .250 with a .706 OPS. He hit 13 homers last season.

    Perhaps if I grew up in a family in which the patriarch was a Queens real estate tycoon, I would see the world differently.
    But that’s not the family structure in which I grew up.
    My father is a chemist, and he made big rockets go boom with the whiz kids in the early 1950s at Aerojet in Azusa, leading to the Saturn V, the vehicle that carried the Apollo astronauts to the moon in 1969.

    I just returned from vacation in France. As a transgender woman, I was amazed by the complete absence of transphobia. I was treated with dignity by every French person I met. It was always “madame” or “mademoiselle.” Nobody stared, pointed, or asked barbed questions—little cruelties that are now everyday occurrences at home. The only transphobia I experienced came from other Americans. It seems to me that the French live by their revolutionary ideals of “Liber

    We’ve all heard these stories in the last few weeks, as the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration (legal and illegal) picks up steam. Judging by how this crackdown is being reported by the media, one would assume everything the Trump administration is doing on immigration is blatantly illegal and unprecedented.

    It’s a holy grail of health care: forcing the industry to reveal prices negotiated between health plans and hospitals — information that had long been treated as a trade secret. And among the flurry of executive orders President Donald Trump signed during his first five weeks back in office was a promise to “Make America Healthy Again” by giving patients accurate health care prices.

While Friday’s surprise performance of Queen guitarist Brian May joining Benson Boone had festivalgoers hyped, it was Billie Eilish and Lorde dropping in to collab with the “Speed Drive” star on Saturday that had attendees absolutely losing their minds.

Even those with noble intentions, like Boromir, who dream of wielding it to protect their people, fail to grasp its truth. The Ring twists every ambition, every good intention, into tyranny and ruin.
