That number is way too low
California AG Bob Bonta writes, “On Friday, we announced a historic $12.75 million settlement against General Motors for illegally retaining and selling hundreds of thousands of Californians’ location and driving data to data brokers.”
It’s coming down
There are three great teams left in the NBA playoffs. The Knicks are by far the best in the East. I’m watching them cream the 76ers right now. It’ll be a sweep: 4-0. They’ll next face the Pistons, which own the Cavaliers. I think the Pistons are very good, but the Knicks are better. In the West, the Thunder will sweep the Lakers, and the Spurs will finish off the Wolves (which are also very good). While the virtual finals will be Thunder vs. Spurs, I think the Knicks are the equal of both. The finals will go seven. I won’t predict the outcome of that one, though of course, I favor the Knicks. My fear is that it will come down to injuries. The indispensibles are Brunson and Towns for the Knicks, Wemby for the Spurs, and SGA for the Thunder. If any of those go down, it’ll be end the show for those teams.
The main thing: we’ll never know
For Mozart’s death to work as a story, it needs to be dramatized. But the simple fact that it was countless diseases for which there was no cure at the time doesn’t leave dramatists much to work with. Thus spake this WaPo essay. (Alas, paywall.)
