The OKC Thunder returns home for a game against the Sacramento Kings at 7
Darius Vines made a good impression with his first start of 2024, while the offense showed up late and the bullpen held things down in the Braves 6-2 win over Houston. The Braves are still trying to get their rotation reset after losing Spencer Strider to season-ending elbow surgery over the weekend. Next up to audition for a starting spot was Vines tonight in Houston. And he showed this audition probably needs to be more than just one start. It started a little shaky, if we’re being honest....
The Dallas Mavericks easily dispatched the Charlotte Hornets 130-104 Tuesday night in Charlotte. Luka Doncic led the way with 39 points, setting a new Mavericks record for total points scored in a single season. It was the Mavericks 15th win in their last 17 games, with one of the losses being to Oklahoma City with Doncic sitting out. The win secured the Mavericks 49th win of the season, almost assuredly guaranteeing them a 50-win season with three games left, one against Detroit. Dallas started...

JASPER COUNTY, Mo. — It's no surprise to see a well-trimmed lawn and neat paths in a modern cemetery, but many abandoned cemeteries aren't as lucky. They can be overgrown, making it tough to track down the final resting spot for your loved one. But at least one in the Joplin area is benefiting from []
Last year, Nanna Thylstrup wrote about the precarity of our digital past. Old blogs, once thriving with activity and personal memories, are unceremoniously deleted by platforms and users. The Internet Archive, a bastion of digital preservation, finds itself under constant assault. Search engines continue eroding, making locating and accessing information increasingly difficult. Movies and TV shows vanishing from streaming platforms without warning; we find out too late that our VCRs don’t work...
[Editor’s note: This is a recap of Fallout episode two. The recap of episode three publishes April 12.] Now that is significantly more like it. Of the many ways Fallout’s second episode is an improvement on its first, the most important, by far, is tone. Make no mistake, Vault Dwellers: This is, at least for now, a pitch-black comedy with some dramatic elements, not, as “Maximus” tried very hard to suggest, something that would occasionally try to get genuinely grim and joyless as our...
Of course it begins with the bomb. Or, rather, a series of bombs. In the
The clear theme of this eighth episode of Shōgun is loyalty: Who is worthy of it? What function does it serve? Are there limitations to its usefulness? With tricksters like Toranaga-sama around, it’s hard to believe anyone would trust anything the guy does, at least as it applies to them personally.

Or is it just founded in the...

Boy, is this ever Shōgun’s Mariko-sama episode. We begin with a flashback to her 14 years before the action of our story, wandering in the snow, heavy with child, and hellbent on self-destruction. Once she has been led into a tent to warm up, we learn that these attempts to escape her husband and end her life have formed a pattern for her. Here, she meets Father Martín for the first time. He christens her “Maria” and plops a rosary into her hand (“something to hold onto when she can’t talk”)....
