The Update- June 15th

In today’s edition of The Update Journal, we’re asking one of the most dangerous questions in sports: why are we still fouling people on three-point attempts like basketball was invented during the last commercial break? Nothing raises the blood pressure faster than watching a defender fly into somebody’s shooting space like they’re trying to block a Wi-Fi signal. Now the other team gets three free throws, the coach is aging in real time, and I’m sitting there wondering if my Apple Watch is about to call emergency services.Then, it’s Part 1 of the Interview With the Vampire summer watchlist, where I very confidently said I would watch this show in the daytime… and then immediately watched it at night because there was nothing else on TV and apparently I enjoy making decisions that threaten my nervous system. Am I emotionally ready to go all the way through this series? That is between me, AMC, and whatever part of my brain thought, “Yeah, vampires, trauma, blood, and family dysfunction sounds like a relaxing summer activity.” The blinds are open, the lights are on, and the remote is being held like a security blanket.And finally, for Pride Month, we’re talking about why supporting your partner matters — not just when it’s cute, easy, Instagram-friendly, or comes with a matching outfit and good lighting. Real support shows up when things are complicated, when the world gets loud, and when your partner needs to know they’re not standing by themselves. Love is not just posting a rainbow in June and calling it community service. Sometimes love is listening, learning, defending, adjusting, and making it clear: “I’m with you, not just when it’s convenient, but when it counts.”In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, the Northeast remained under the threat of severe weather, with more than 100 million Americans at risk of severe storms with damaging wind gusts and hail.The Big Apple erupted in bloody chaos overnight as rowdy mobs celebrating the Knicks’ NBA title trashed NYPD cars and torched FIFA buses in Times Square, leaving 10 cops hurt and 63 people in handcuffs. And in Missouri, a plane carrying a pilot and 11 passengers on a skydiving outing crashed in a field and was engulfed in flames, killing all aboard, authorities said.
