This American heard so much about downtown New York City growing up, but never downtown Los Angeles. Even though I was raised only across a desert from DTLA. And not just not when growing up, but only when I moved to LA at 34, seeing it in-person, was when I first saw DTLA. And that’s insane, because DTLA is astounding. In the best way. Even though I’ve been in LA for 2 years & 3 months now, I remain impressed by it. I even took a video of it two days ago.

Here we go again. “I had my time. I’m appreciative of that, but I really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters,” actor Mark Hamill said. For all intents and purposes, Hamill claimed to ComicBook.com that that he’s done playing Luke Skywalker. He’s a majorly central “Star Wars” character. Thing is, Hamill has claimed this before, and it turned out to not be true.

Yes ‘Cers. Going back 31 NBA seasons, at least, only two teams* besides this year’s Indiana Pacers have clearly had more Cinderella runs in the NBA Playoffs.

While I’m spiritual, I hardly ever pray. (For what it’s worth, while I believe all things are spiritual, I reject religion.) However, I then learned about the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a tax & immigration bill that very, very much is U.S. President Donald Trump’s. The legislation would make it so CHIP and Obamacare plans would longer need to cover gender-affirming care — and Medicaid plans wouldn’t. That includes both minors & adults.

The NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers have been dealt terrible injury blows. They didn’t have one of their stars, Darius Garland (an all-star), in their second-round Game 1 loss. They didn’t have Garland or fellow stars Evan Mobley (also an all-star) or De’Andre Hunter for their Game 2 loss. The Cavs now trial the Indiana Pacers 2–0 in a best-of-seven series. The Boston Celtics also have been dealt a bad injury blow given lost time from one of their stars, Kristaps Porziņģis (another all-star).
