Y’all’s president inconveniencing an entire city to watch a basketball game while gas is slowly creeping up to $6/gallon and two bags of groceries cost $200 is insane to me. A blatant fuck you to all of us.
Azzi Fudd earned the No. 1 overall pick and her starting spot. Jose Fernandez is finally utilizing her the way she was meant to be used.

I analyzed 3 years of Central Park rain data to see if the feeling was real.
It was.
27 of 38 summer weekends had measurable rain.
That’s 71%.
Friday was the rainiest day of the week, with rain on 43.6% of summer Fridays. Basically worse than a coin flip for your evening plans.
Sunday had the highest rainfall volume of any day, averaging 0.17 inches. It may not rain every Sunday, but when it does, it commits.
Thursday was objectively the best day to be outside in NYC: lowest precipitation, clearest skies, least weekend-related misery.

70.8% of rainy Sundays were preceded by a gross Friday or Saturday.
The weekend basically telegraphs its own downfall.
