Pacers led by 5 points from Monte Morris.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I love how slow Wikipedia moves during controversy. For YEARS after the "GamerGate" harassment campaign, editors refused to give up the URL of the *original* meaning of the word: A gamergate is a kind of ant.
