The San Antonio Spurs had a disappointing season due to injuries, including a blood clot in superstar center Victor Wembanyama's right shoulder. Wembanyama is expected to make a full recovery by the start of the 2025-26 season. However, the team needs significant retooling, including adding shooting around Wembanyama and star guard De'Aaron Fox. To maximize Wembanyama's impact, the Spurs must surround him with dependable shooters, creating proper spacing to open up the floor and allow him to operate near the basket, where he is most dominant.

A recent investigation by Four Corners has uncovered a crisis in New South Wales' (NSW) public mental health care system. Psychiatrists and health workers have come forward to express their concerns about the system's collapse, citing excessive wait times, staff shortages, and patients being discharged before they are ready. In one instance, a man with schizoaffective disorder waited 93 hours for a mental health bed at Westmead Hospital. The investigation also found that two mental health wards and a mental health assessment centre at Cumberland and Westmead hospitals were closed in January, and that overnight, there is only one trainee psychiatrist to cover the entire Cumberland Hospital. The crisis has led to violent incidents, including a security guard being stabbed by a patient who had been waiting for 12 hours. Doctors have reported being pressured to discharge patients early, which can lead to a cycle of quick deterioration and re-admission. The system's struggles to care for vulnerable children have also been highlighted, with child and adolescent psychiatrists reporting being forced to make tough decisions due to limited beds and pressure to keep emergency department wait times down. The NSW government has acknowledged the need for improvement and reform, investing $2.9 billion into mental health services. However, the Australian Salaried Medical Officers Federation has pushed for a 25% pay increase for psychiatrists, citing low pay and retention issues. The dispute has led to 62 psychiatrists resigning, with others waiting for the Industrial Relations Commission's decision on their pay request. The crisis has sparked concerns about the safety of patients and staff, with many calling for urgent action to address the systemic issues.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has won their first UEFA Champions League title, defeating Inter Milan 5-0 in the final. This marks a significant milestone for the club, which was ranked 48th in Europe when Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) became the majority owner in 2011. Over the past 14 years, PSG has undergone significant transformations, including lavish spending and the acquisition of top players like Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, and Lionel Messi. However, it was not until the club shifted its focus towards building a younger, more balanced team that they were able to achieve success in the Champions League. Under the guidance of manager Luis Enrique, PSG developed a more pressing-oriented style of play, which allowed them to overwhelm opponents with depth, energy, and modern tactics. Key players like Ousmane Dembélé, who scored 27 goals with eight assists in 31 matches, and Désiré Doué, who contributed 15 goals and 13 assists, were instrumental in the team's success. The club's full-back duo, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes, also played a crucial role in their championship run. PSG's victory marks a new era for the club, which has compiled a deep and young roster with endless depth. With many exciting young players, including those like Warren Zaïre-Emery, João Neves, and Senny Mayulu, the club is poised for long-term success and may not peak for another year or two.

A discussion on the NANOG mailing list has centered around Amazon AWS Cloudfront WAF block and DNS-based blocklists. Rob McEwen expressed frustration with big tech companies, including Google and Microsoft, for not doing enough to prevent spam from being sent through their services. He argued that this has led to a decrease in the effectiveness of DNSBLs and has shifted the cost of spam prevention to others. McEwen also mentioned that his company, Invaluement, has been developing new anti-spam data to counteract these changes in the email industry. John Curran and John R. Levine discussed the challenges of running a useful blocklist, including the difficulty of determining whether a blocklist is behaving appropriately and the lack of transparency in blocklist management.

Netflix has cancelled the comedy-drama series "The Brothers Sun" despite its promising start and positive reviews. The show, starring Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien, and Sam Song Li, followed a family of gangsters from Taipei and managed to reach the Netflix Top 10 during its release week. However, with an increasingly crowded streaming landscape and high production costs, Netflix prioritizes shows that achieve massive cultural penetration and become the most talked-about thing on the platform. "The Brothers Sun" received an 84% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 90% audience score, but this was not enough to secure a second season. The show's cancellation highlights the challenges faced by new series in the current streaming climate, where success is often measured by a show's ability to dominate the platform and generate widespread buzz.

A report on the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme has found that pregnant migrant workers face significant challenges, including discrimination, coercion, and limited access to healthcare. Many women have hidden their pregnancies or attempted home abortions due to shame, fear of losing their jobs, or lack of access to affordable healthcare. The report highlights issues with access to contraception, antenatal care, abortion, and STI screening, as well as experiences of gender-based violence. The Australian Women's Health Alliance is calling for urgent action to address the health needs of PALM scheme workers, including removing health insurance waiting periods for pregnancy services and providing greater education and support.

The Network for Sustainable Mobility has acknowledged the EU's adoption of a targeted amendment to CO₂ standards for light-duty vehicles, providing temporary relief to the automotive sector. However, they emphasize that this should not distract from the need for a more inclusive and technologically sovereign approach to decarbonization, beyond just electrification. The network urges the European Commission and Parliament to support a technology-open and cost-effective decarbonization of road transport, allowing all climate-neutral solutions, including sustainable renewable fuels, to contribute. They aim for a legislative framework that prioritizes decarbonization, industrial competitiveness, and innovation, giving citizens and businesses the freedom to choose the best mobility solutions.

Mizuno wanted players to feel a sense of unease and yearn for the night, which is reflected in the game's design.

The Trump administration is pressuring Harvard University to address antisemitism and end race-based discrimination, threatening to cut off federal funding if the university does not comply. However, the administration's approach has been criticized for potentially infringing on free speech. Vice President JD Vance has emphasized the importance of free speech, but the administration's demands on Harvard, including abolishing diversity and inclusion programs and auditing departments for viewpoint diversity, have raised concerns. A group of right-of-center scholars and lawyers has argued that the administration's approach violates the First Amendment and has urged the administration to reinstate Harvard's funding. The authors acknowledge that Harvard has made mistakes, but argue that the administration's approach is too heavy-handed and could harm academic freedom and national security interests. They suggest that the administration should refine its approach to address Harvard's issues while respecting free speech and the rule of law.

Iran is experiencing a wave of labor unrest and civil disobedience, with truck drivers, bakers, and other workers launching coordinated strikes and protests in over 100 cities. The demonstrations, which involve retired workers, teachers, nurses, and civil servants, are demanding economic justice and dignity, but also increasingly calling for regime change. The Iranian government, led by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, views the movement as a significant threat and has responded with violent suppression, including arrests, executions, and internet blackouts. However, experts believe that the regime's actions may only delay the inevitable, as the population is no longer afraid and is increasingly united in their demands for change. The US has a strategic and moral stake in the future of Iran and should be prepared for the possibility of a new revolution.

A new approach to exercise emphasizes quality over quantity, with strategic movement patterns delivering remarkable results in just 10 minutes daily. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) circuits, bodyweight exercises, and Tabata protocols are effective methods that combine strength and cardiovascular challenges, triggering powerful metabolic adaptations and burning calories for up to 24 hours after the workout. These methods also improve insulin sensitivity, enhance mitochondrial function, and promote the release of beneficial hormones. Dynamic movement patterns, such as mobility flows and yoga-inspired exercises, provide comprehensive benefits for joint health, movement quality, and injury prevention. Targeted core training, resistance band exercises, and plyometric training also offer unique benefits, including functional strength, power, and athleticism. The key to success lies in consistency, intensity, and progressive overload, rather than workout duration. Rotating between different exercise modalities prevents adaptation plateaus and addresses various aspects of fitness, including strength, cardiovascular health, flexibility, and power. By treating 10-minute daily exercise sessions as non-negotiable appointments with health and fitness, individuals can build sustainable habits that support long-term health and wellness goals.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a report projecting Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions between now and 2055. The report finds that even if all planned measures and policies are implemented, Ireland's emissions will only be reduced by 23% by 2030, falling short of the national 51% target. This is a decrease from last year's projection of a 29% reduction. The EPA warns that Ireland is at significant risk of missing both national and EU climate targets, with emissions potentially exceeding carbon budgets by up to 50%. The government has acknowledged the need to move faster to meet climate targets, and environmental groups are taking legal action against the state for failing to reduce emissions in line with carbon budgets.
