An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Fitting that Medvedev had to revert to his Cincinnati 2019 pure rage mode of hitting two first serves to win that. Tien bears the unique honor of rattling Medvedev thoroughly enough to make him celebrate unironically at the end.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This is absolutely wild. All 10 starters in the #WNBA Finals are Black women. And you use this photo of 1. A white woman who hasn't played since the All-Star break and 2. A white woman eliminated in the first round. 3. With neither team in the Finals.

Be better, @usatodaysports.usatoday.com #WNBA
