There was a good chance for some severe storms to form today (Monday), according to Rodriguez. "The east coast seabreeze gave this one a little extra oomph, and that turned severe, and it produced a tornado." According to him, the location was west of Fort Pierce, north of Florida's Turnpike, and west of Interstate 95.

Rangers won’t take ‘momentum’ for granted ahead of Game 3 vs. Lightning

Image
Ahead of Game 3 against the Lightning, the Rangers will not take "momentum" for granted." Image Source This is where it's at: TAMPA, Fla. It's not something that Gerard Gallant is convinced of. The head coach of the New York Rangers believes in living in the present moment. Yesterday's events have no bearing on today's. Because of that, it's hard for him to change it now. On Saturday, even Gallant had to make a minor concession."We're playing well," he said ahead of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Lightning on Sunday. "The last four games, we've been playing our best hockey." That's exactly what I'm saying. "Does tomorrow begin?" In my opinion, that's not true." Even if the Rangers do not have momentum, they appear to have found something within themselves that few outside of the room believed they had. The Rangers lead the Lightning 2-0 in the series. They've won their las...

Pizza Hut's Book Club Controversy, Explained

Image
An Explanation of Pizza Hut's Book Club Controversy Image Source One of the most common pairings is between book clubs and controversy. In most book clubs, discussions about the hero's journey and authors' notes are secondary to a good whodunit yarn. In addition, Big Pizza is no stranger to controversy, as evidenced by Pizzagate 2016 and its controversial reappearance in 2020. With just one email, Esquire reports, the rise of alt-right extremism and one of the most outlandish conspiracy theories of our time were triggered by a pizzeria owner's interest in hosting a fundraiser for then-candidate Hillary Clinton. Sad. Because books take so much longer to spread than emails, perhaps today's Pizza Hut book club controversy pales in comparison to the email that sparked a thousand conspiracy theories. According to Newsweek, it all began with a well-intentioned idea: a programme to improve children's reading comprehension. Pizza Hut's "Book It!" programm...

The $190 million Jordan Poole question on Warriors future gets definitive answer from Bob Myers

Image
Bob Myers gives a definitive answer to the $190 million Jordan Poole question about the future of the Warriors. Image Source In order for the Golden State Warriors to definitively label their current roster as championship-caliber, they need to win four games in a row. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson's original core had already achieved a great deal. However, as a result of their inexperience, injuries, and the addition of new teammates, their team has had to prove its worth yet again. Jordan Poole, one of the cast's supporting players, could prove to be crucial in the future. To put it mildly, he's an absolute revelation for the Warriors, averaging more points per game than Stephen Curry while also being more efficient. This offseason, the Golden State Warriors have the opportunity to sign him to a long-term contract extension. The decision to do so, even at the rookie max rate, would be an easy one for most other teams. However, given that the Warriors ...
