Ugly third quarter dooms Warriors in blowout loss to Kings
Early in the fourth quarter Sunday night, as Warriors players exchanged puzzled glances after Kings forward Marvin Bagley III threw down an alley-oop dunk off a lob from Bogdan Bogdanovic, a chant emanated from behind Sacramento’s basket: “SAC-RA-MEN-TO! SAC-RA-MEN-TO!” This wasn’t how Golden State envisioned Northern California’s only other NBA team’s first visit to the $1.4 billion Chase Center. By the time that chorus began, the Warriors were already well on their way to a 100-79 loss to the Kings. Enough Golden State fans had filed toward the exits for purple jerseys to nearly equal the blue and yellow ones in the seats. In a local matchup that has long failed to live up to a “rivalry” billing, Sacramento — the David to the Warriors’ Goliath in recent years — relished a rare chance to bully its neighbors.

It’s been a trying year for Trent Reznor, to say the least—one that began with the death of his idol and tourmate David Bowie, who inspired the Nine Inch Nails frontman to kick heroin in the late ’90s, and may end with the election of a racist, pussy-grabbing ex-reality-TV host as president of the United States. Amid the cacophony, the man Dave Grohl called “my generation’s most talented musician-producer-songwriter” has kept himself occupied recording NIN’s ninth studio album, which may land sometime this year, and scoring a pair of hot-button films: the climate-change documentary Before the Flood and Boston Marathon bombing drama Patriots Day. Directed by Fisher Stevens and executive produced by Martin Scorsese, Before the Flood follows Hollywood star, lady-killer, and environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio as he delivers a crash course on the reality of climate change, from the disappearing Sumatran forests to the melting glaciers of the Arctic … [Read more...] about Trent Reznor on the Rise of Trump: ‘It’s Absurd That This Is Even Happening’
In S. Korea, Hong Kong’s Pro-Democracy Protests Find Support
SEOUL - Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement is gaining support among South Korean college students, who see some overlap with their country’s own struggle for democracy in the 1980s. In recent months, Seoul has seen regular rallies with hundreds of students, many wearing black in solidarity with the Hong Kong protesters and carrying signs reading “Stand for Freedom, Stand with Hong Kong” and “Stop Police Brutality.” "South Korea experienced political oppression in the 1980s and so does Hong Kong in recent years,” says Ahn Ji-sun, a junior political science major at Sogang University in Seoul, who organized a group to support Hong Kong's democratization. The protests have led to conflicts between South Korean students and those from mainland China, who view the Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters as violent radicals. At many universities in Seoul, mainland Chinese students have vandalized “Lennon Walls,” which contain messages of support for … [Read more...] about In S.
