Steph Curry In God Mode
Can someone cut the game audio and replace it with classical music? Serious inquiry. pic.twitter.com/3sTXaZqPkL

The NBA is back, which means the Washington Wizards are back too. This is mostly a bad thing, because the Washington Wizards are a bad, dysfunctional franchise with little hope of ever getting better than they were a couple years ago, when John Wall and the aging corpse of Paul Pierce dragged a dozen other guys to the second round of the playoffs. But if you must watch the Wizards ― and I must, thanks to bad luck, geography, a limited cable package and an odd willingness to allow myself to be tortured by sports teams I supposedly like and support ― it helps that every now and then they play teams like the Golden State Warriors and players like Stephen Curry, who unlike the Wizards are good. Very good. Steph Curry, I’m not sure if you’ve heard, is very good at the basketball, and this week he hammered the Wizards with a barrage of three-pointers and 51 points.
It was awesome to watch, because when Steph Curry goes into god mode like this no one can stop him. Especially not the Wizards, who will only ever appear in a newsletter that is meant to highlight good things when other players do ridiculously good things against them. ― Travis Waldron
David Schwimmer’s Good Jokes
Officers, I swear it wasn't me.
As you can see, I was in New York.
To the hardworking Blackpool Police, good luck with the investigation.#itwasntme pic.twitter.com/EDFF9dZoYR— schwim (@DavidSchwimmer) October 24, 2018
No one told you life was gonna be this way, with Ross Geller from friends devolving from paleontologist into a beer-stealing fugitive. Sure, the real criminal was supposedly just a lookalike, whom police say they’ve identified. David Schwimmer himself made fun of the likeness, posting a video in which he’s pretending to be the perp. But isn’t that exactly the move a mastermind criminal would do to make themselves look innocent? Especially if his job’s a joke, he’s broke and his love life’s DOA? I’m just saying making fun of the crime like this is the perfect way to pivot.

Queen Lizzo Playing A Whole Wind Instrument While Hitting A Dance That Can Leave You Winded
I have never seen a bitch play the flute and then hit the shoot but, my God today, Lizzo sure the fuck did that.
Blackness is vast and multifaceted — and Lizzo represents the best of it all. Let me break down the levels of this black shit:
1. This queen, this flawless being, did a cover of Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott’s “Big Shot,” which was on the “Black Panther” soundtrack. And we know “Black Panther” was the blackest movie of the year.
2. The song has a flute component that Lizzo played live. I am counting this as a very black thing because black people play instruments other than the trumpet and drums. (I played clarinet, myself.)
3. Then she took a break to hit the shoot, one of the hardest — literally and figuratively — moves out right now. (Maybe the shoot is just hard for me to hit because I lack coordination? Idk.)
4. The shoot morphed into an entire dance routine.
5. The way “Bitch!” reverberates up from her diaphragm is a gift that only black women have. How do I know that? you ask. Well, let me tell you a non-secret: I am black.
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands displayed some Big Dick Energy this week when she wore a tiara featuring the Stuart Diamond ― which measures in at a whopping 40 carats ― during a state visit to the United Kingdom. Royal watchers and jewel fans flipped at the sight of the diamond, which hasn’t been worn in a public setting in more than 40 years. Maxima, who was born a commoner, also made news when she wore a scaled-down version of the Stuart Tiara in May. ― Paige Lavender

This scene from “30 Rock,” now a ubiquitous meme, never ceases to be relevant in 2018. — Marina Fang
