Fairytale endings are rare in the NBA. So how would Steph Curry like his final chapter to play out?
Spoke at length with Steph, as well as KD, Dirk and Steve Kerr. My latest, at The Ringer:

Steph Curry’s Final Act: “There Are No Perfect Endings”

In the past 13 hours, I've now seen two cars AND A SNOW PLOW get stuck on our street and have to dig out. I have a feeling our poor street is going to remain half plowed until the temps rise above freezing. #snowpacalypse2026

I've been getting caught up on Moby Dick while visiting my husband's relatives in Colorado. Today his aunt stopped to say hi to her FedEx guy, who was chatting with a UPS guy on the side of the road. That's how I learned the package delivery service version of a "gam" is called a "fed up." 🐋

It took a while to get him the hardware, but congrats again, Kevin Durant, winner of the PBWA's 2024-25 Magic Johnson Award. (Presented on Thursday by PBWA president @howardbeck.bsky.social.)

The Chapter 1 heading "Loomings" (plural) caught my eye. In addition to "imminent/impending" and "to come into view as a distorted/enlarged/indistinct form," it once had a nautical meaning: the slow up-and-down motion of ships at sea (OED). 🐋 #monthofdick

Congrats to @harveyaraton.bsky.social on his fantastic middle-grade novel, The Goal of the Game! This moving, gripping tale about the choices we make on and off the field will resonate with both parents and kids. Even non soccer fans will be rooting for Z.

PSA for pumpkins: I, too, love fall and autumn decor. But it is time to let go and send your pumpkins to the Great Compost Bin in the sky. They are cold and tired and do not wish to compete with your Christmas garlands.

New Yorkers know their elected officials well. So why don't they know their state Comptroller?
The Comptroller is one of the most powerful people in New York – controlling billions and shaping our housing, childcare, and economy. It’s time to reclaim that power.
