More often than not, I'll be writing and talking about the Lakers, but every so often, I'll branch out to topics that catch my attention across all sports, entertainment, life and anything else that comes up.

How many old “rebels against the establishment” like Stern have morphed into establishment shills. Being a Boomer myself, I have watched nearly all of them flip flop. Where are the anti war, anti government, free speech, anti Big Pharma libs? Is it just me or are they all now official spokespeople for “The Man” to use their former terms?

Friends, hello! Welcome to the first edition of Pizza Every Other Friday where we celebrate all things pizza adjacent: salads, sauces, condiments, and more. Today we’re making an antipasto wedge salad inspired by one I had at Rubirosa earlier this month. As I began thinking about recreating this salad, my memory told me this: iceberg, blue cheese, capers. But the Rubirosa online menu described otherwise — romaine, provolone, mortadella (and more) — which left me with doubt.

User Experiences that Matter By Anton Sten I write a newsletter every two-four weeks. I'll let you decide if it’s any good but people seem to stay on. In fact, thousands of smart people incl. designers from Amazon, IDEO, Figma and Shopify are subscribers. ncG1vNJzZmirpZfAta3CpGWcp51kjaK606ilrKyVow%3D%3D

Today I’m excited to begin a little series I wanted to call ‘Antonio August,’ but there are just a few too many Antonios, so we’ll be bleeding into July and September a little bit… but the aim is to spend a few consecutive newsletters exploring the characters named Antonio, who are often noted as sharing similarities in their roles within the plays, and an association with queerness. This is a bit of an experiment in whether reading across plays character by character can be illuminating… or whether we’ll just get confused by having the same subject line for several weeks in a row.

Dear Reader  We’re talking a lot about frames right now. How we shape our reality by seeing it through the best frames we have, and how, when those frames are less useful we need to try new ones.  Here’s a good example of re-framing. Most of us think of tides as when the sea comes and out from the shore. It’s a good frame. It works for us.  But tides don’t go in and out.

Welcome to Flashlight & A Biscuit, my Saturday-morning Southern culture offshoot of my work at Yahoo Sports. If you’re just arriving for the first time, why not subscribe? It’s free and all. I’m on vacation this week, which usually means an array of bad food choices in voluminous quantities. Sometimes I go for the familiar — the barbecue joint and the Mexican restaurant that are as familiar as a classic-rock radio station — and sometimes I attempt something new, challenging my gut to a whole new litany of abdominal assaults.

Last month approval was given for a new apartment block in Melbourne’s Brunswick which was just 24.5 square metres. That’s about the size of a double garage. That’s below the minimum apartment size for New York City (30 square metres) and London (37 square metres), prompting concerns over the proposed development.   I’ve lived in some tiny places by Australian standards, living in a studio-sized 49 square metre apartment with a toddler.
