Educating women is the fastest way to combat climate change

We all want the world to be better and what better place to start than at home? Enter: Wildgrid, an all-female team providing education and empowering women to “electrify” their homes.

Why women? Women make 91% of ALL decisions in their households. And that’s no small thing when it comes to sustainability – 20% of all carbon emissions are from our homes! Electricity, gas-burning stoves, furnaces, hot water heaters, and many more – all of these everyday appliances make a big difference in how eco-friendly our homes are.

So what is the fastest way to make major reductions in household carbon emissions? Educating and empowering women!

Creating a more energy-efficient home – called electrification – is a process that can often feel confusing and overwhelming, particularly to folks who are often marginalized in male-dominant spaces.

“In spaces with men where this kind of topic is being covered, I find myself feeling [overwhelmed]… I found it really great that it was for women,” said one Wildgrid user who took Wildgrid’s women-only education course, Voltage Vixens.

Wildgrid’s online tool is simple, intuitive, and requires no previous background in sustainability to understand. To calculate all the rebates you qualify for, visit WildgridHome.com.

Playoff Lessons: Can Darius Garland Play Like A Star All Of The Time?

Among the four members of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ core, Darius Garland authored the finest showing in their five-game, first-round flameout against the New York Knicks this past spring. After a torrid Game 1 performance, Donovan Mitchell’s jumper turned cold and he broke down defensively. Evan Mobley struggled mightily as a scorer and short-roll conductor. Jarrett Allen’s rebounding and defensive positioning were constant thorns in the side of Cleveland’s efforts.

Despite some issues, Garland acclimated himself fairly well in his introduction to playoff basketball. As New York engulfed him offensively and hunted him defensively, he averaged 20.6 points (56.6 percent true shooting), 5.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

The problem, though, was an inconsistent footprint. Garland endured lengthy stretches of muted impact. Nobody was a bigger victim of the team’s shoebox floor-spacing or Mobley and Allen’s regression in the first round than Garland. This is not to absolve him of any problems, but to note that many of Mitchell, Mobley, and Allen’s nosedives were less about the spacing shortcomings and more about areas they must remedy on their own.

Moving forward, he and the Cavs must build a roster and individual skillset to avoid the long periods of hibernation — they seem to have taken this lesson to heart by adding Max Strus and Georges Niang this summer. He is too good and too integral to their success. Against the Knicks, their offense faltered for numerous reasons, including Garland being relegated to bystander or neutralized option across possessions. That cannot be a recurring theme as they carve out permanent residence in the playoffs over the next handful of seasons.

When Cleveland aimed to involve Mobley in ball-screens, New York trapped the initiator, usually Garland, with Julius Randle. That left Mobley in 4-on-3s. I’ve previously talked about the imperative nature of his improvement in those spots. But the Knicks prompted them because it directed offense away from Garland without fear of consequence, assuming the likelihood of at least one non-shooter stationed around the perimeter that could be ignored to close off Mobley’s room inside.

Those traps and Mitchell Robinson’s willingness to play near the level are a major reason Garland’s pull-up three-point volume fell from 20.6 percent in the regular season to 11.3 percent in round one. His spot-up triple opportunities jumped to 26.3 percent from 15.5 percent, but the inability to bend defenses with the threat of pull-up shooting in high pick-and-rolls quelled some of his impact as a creator. That, along with New York’s range and length bombarding his dribble-drive pursuits, illuminates the slide of his playmaking numbers during the playoffs (32.8 percent assist rate down to 22.9 percent; 12.2 percent turnover rate up to 16.1 percent).

Typically, in these scenarios, he could seamlessly shift into an off-ball role. Among bona fide offensive engines, he’s a premier off-ball player in the league, sprinting into movement jumpers, reading and utilizing screens cunningly, and working off the catch absent a hiccup. In spurts, this tactic played out wonderfully for Cleveland. His third quarter explosion in Game 4, when he spammed handoffs en route to 11 points and five dimes, exemplifies the appeal of Garland off the ball.

Yet New York’s physicality — namely from RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley — and Cleveland’s clunky spacing wore him down and made it challenging to start so many possessions simply trying to get the ball in the point guard’s hands. Can he follow Stephen Curry’s lead and learn to disregard all that physicality while still thriving as an off-ball cog who rocks on the ball? Curry is better and bigger than him, though his development curve should remain relevant.

Too commonly, he and the Cavs’ pursuits were thwarted by top-locking and trapping. He’s become pretty averse to on-ball physicality, but off-ball physicality is a different aspect to now counter. The problems were cyclical. The surrounding personnel encouraged diverting the offense away from Garland on the ball. Garland’s own limitations rendered him easier to contain off the ball. The landscape left an All-Star-caliber guard resigned to life as a castaway.

Amplifying his arsenal thrusts some responsibility onto Mobley. Clean up the short-roll game to make trapping a less appealing and sensible gambit for defenses. Continue growing as a high-post and DHO hub to open up off-ball chances for Garland. Together, they pocket the keys for this franchise’s future.

In Game 2, Cleveland’s lone win and Garland’s finest outing behind 32 points on 8-of-17 shooting, its transition frequency was a series-high 18.4 percent — 4.1 points higher than its regular season average and 3.4 points higher than the playoffs. The Cavs could probably stand to prioritize running a bit more after ranking 19th in transition rate a season ago.

Four of Garland’s nine pull-up three attempts occurred in Game 4. His twitchiness and jitterbug handles were a terror to cover in space, only to be notably bottled up at a slower beat. Given the half-court struggles, athletic prowess and youthful nature of their four top players, dialing up the tempo could alleviate some offensive tensions, even if much of the onus primarily rests on growth from the roster rather than sweeping schematic or philosophical amendments.

On the ball, the lesson is clear: trust the handle. Garland is a sorcerer with the rock, treating it like a nonchalant accessory of his body. East-West or North-South, he weaves and slithers his way into space for drives, passes and jumpers. It proved particularly useful against New York, which prioritizes nail and strong-side help to eliminate the middle and curtail drives. Cleveland’s dearth of wing shooting simplified the strategy as well.

When Garland whipped the ball around stunts or slalomed through defenders to fashion forays deep into the paint, fortuitous outcomes followed. His handle is his best weapon and unlocks the scoring and passing. Treating it as such is imperative. That first-round series emphasized the necessity of always believing in his handle, even amid constant, mounting defensive pressure.

When Garland let help deter him, he and Cleveland’s offense suffered. I’d love to see him snake more pick-and-rolls. Maybe, Allen and Mobley can embrace the Gortat Seal to diversify their ball-screen dynamics. Improved ancillary shooting may declutter the paint and coax Garland to probe without fear of being submerged by a looming rim protector (or two).

Part of his 4-of-21 Game 3 showing was the ebbs and flows of shooting variance, but he also settled too much and didn’t wield his dexterous handle into beneficial spots enough. Life is already arduous as a slender, small guard who’s more shifty than explosive. Tucking away his best tool for creation left him confronting an increasingly daunting reality. The dichotomy in process when he preserved a live dribble versus when he extinguished it was stark. Let that ball boogie and bounce!

The leading plotline of the summer for Garland and the Cavs should be answering this question: How do we ensure he’s an omnipresent threat offensively? An inconsistent signature defined his good, albeit sporadic, first round. A serviceable playoff debut should be succeeded by star-laden encores. Doing so requires his star to shine bright at all times, not solely for moments, quarters or singular games, rather than letting it flicker. Accomplishing that means steadfast deploying his mystifying handle, shoring up his off-ball physicality, and enjoying a context better tailored to elevate everything he brings to the hardwood. The Cavs have at least attempted to alleviate that last concern with their free agency acquisitions on the wing, but it’s incumbent on Garland to take the strides in the other areas to carry regular season success into the playoffs in 2024.

A Stagehand For The Weeknd Is Suing Live Nation, Claiming He Was Run Over By Forklift

About a year ago, The Weeknd was on his After Hours Til Dawn Tour. It kicked off at the beginning of July and ended at the start of September, although he’s now continuing overseas. However, there was an incident at The Weeknd’s concert at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

On August 14, 2022, a stagehand by the name of Steve Genovese was allegedly run over by a forklift while working on The Weeknd’s elaborate stage setup. Now he is suing Live Nation for five counts of civil liability including negligence, negligent hiring, and gross negligence.

“While marking the floor for the stage dimensions, [Genovese] was run over by a forklift which was being operated by another worker on site,” the complaint says, according to Pitchfork. “As a result, [he] suffered severe, excruciatingly painful, and permanently disabling injuries to his leg. The flesh and muscle were torn away from [his] leg and were detached from the bones.”

“Defendants had the knowledge, ability, and duty to prevent the severe and life-altering injuries inflicted on [Genovese],” it continues. “Instead, [they] placed more value on their own financial gain than on the safety of the workers who helped put on The Weeknd concert.”

It argues that Live Nation “failed and refused to provide qualified forklift drivers and adequate staff as agreed in their respective contracts.”

City Girls’ ‘Face Down’ Single Is A Sassy Response To The Growing Discussion That They’ve Changed Their Ways

Finding love doesn’t mean a self-proclaimed baddie has abandoned the movement’s manifesto. The club’s head figures, City Girls, can attest to this. The rap duo (consisting of Yung Miami and JT) are both happily linked to other entertainers, but instead of walking away from the cause, they’ve doubled down on the core principles. On their new Mike WiLL Made-It & P-Nasty-produced single, “Face Down,” the group offers a sassy response to the growing online discussion that they’ve changed their ways.

As if the Girls Gone Wild-inspired cover art for the record didn’t send a clear enough message, out the gate Yung Miami declares her allegiance to the City Girls lifestyle, rapping, “Face down, ass up, sl*t me out / I don’t even let a broke n**** eat me out / He know this p*ssy stay wet in the middle of droughts / I make him face me, nasty, squ*rt in his mouth / I need that car paid for and a new house / Said ‘Do I look basic? Wife me now’ / I heard cash rules, let me show you how / Bettеr spend that sh*t, baby, ice me out.”

The listener knows she means business thanks to the distraught clip of her beau, Diddy, leaving a designer storefront after one of her extravagant shopping sprees.

JT follows it up, rapping, “If he ain’t blowin’ a bag, b*tch, pick a better n**** / I’m in that new coupe, might go vroom-vroom / B*tches that be hatin’ on me really ain’t got no room / I mean literally, no house b*tch, no room / I’m a city girl, so he gotta be a tycoon / Face down, ass up, that’s the way I like to f*ck / You want a b*tch from the city, huh? P*ssy pretty, huh? / Got a n**** out of motherf*ckin’ Philly, uh,” reminding everyone she’s still madly in love with fellow rapper Lil Uzi Vert despite her violent tangent during the 2023 BET Awards.

Adding to their growing tribute to Miami hip-hop legend Luke, “Face Down” contains a sample of his 1990 song “Face Down, Ass Up” featuring 2 Live Crew. The record is the latest offering from the pair following after “Good Love,” “I Need A Thug,” “Piñata,” and “Act Bad,” with Diddy featuring Fabolous further fueling their claims that an album is on the way.

Listen to City Girls’ single “Face Down” above.

‘Morning Joe’ Lost It Over Trump’s Claim To Have ‘Strawberry Blonde’ Hair In Addition To His Hilariously Fabricated Low Weight

Joe Scarborough did a professional job covering Donald Trump‘s highly questionable height and weight that was reported for his Georgia arrest, but the Morning Joe host just could not keep it together when the topic turned to the description for Trump’s hair.

According to reports, Trump’s staff purportedly sent his height and weight to the jail to speed up the booking process. However, the former president was reported to be 6’3″ and 215 pounds, and the Morning Joe crew was not buying it. Although, they did appreciate the “moment of levity” during the otherwise “sobering” occassion.

Via The Wrap:

“I’ve stood next to him many times. I’m about 6′ 4″. Maybe he’s 6′ 1″, maybe he’s 6′ 1.5″, 6′ 2″. He’s a good bit shorter,” Scarborough said bluntly. “But his staff reported him at 6′ 3″, and in a fighting weight of 215. That would be like if my staff reported me: ‘Describe Mr. Scarborough’s appearance.’ ‘He looks a lot like Robert Redford in 1974.’”

“Wildly, wildly off,” Scarborough continued. “I’m not going to tell you where the over/under is on Donald Trump’s weigh-in, but let’s just say it’s a good 70 or 80 pounds higher than what the staff reported.”

Scarborough maintained his composure during Trump’s measurements, but that all went out the window when co-host Willie Geist reported the description for Trump’s hair.

“I also like the self-reporting of strawberry blonde hair,” Geist said, which caused Scarborough to lose it. “I thought that was a nice flourish as well.”

“Yeah. He really went for it,” a laughing Scarborough responded. “He really went for it.”

You can watch the Morning Joe crew tackle Trump’s height, weight, and luscious hair at the 3:40 mark below:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Monster Game Helped Canada Obliterate France In Their World Cup Opener

No game was more highly-anticipated during the group stage portion of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup than the showdown between Canada and France. A pair of international powerhouses that have legitimate aspirations of winning a gold medal, the Canadians and the French were put together in Group H and were expected to play one of the games of the tournament on the first day of the competition.

It looked like that would happen through one half, as Canada took a 43-40 lead into the locker room at halftime. And then, the Canadians took over, as they turned some absolutely stellar defense into offense en route to a 25-8 edge in the third quarter. By the time the final horn sounded, Canada had wrapped up a stunning 95-65 win that served as a statement of intent for the rest of the field to recognize.

Unsurprisingly, the man at the center of everything for Canada was Oklahoma City Thunder standout Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. An All-NBA First Team selection last year and arguably the best player at the tournament, Gilgeous-Alexander was nothing short of magnificent for his country, going for 27 points on 9-for-19 shooting with 13 rebounds, six assists, two steals, and a turnover in 27 minutes of work.

Gilgeous-Alexander was hardly the only NBA standout for Canada to perform well on the day, as Kelly Olynyk scored 18 points, while Dillon Brooks and Nickeil Alexander-Walker both pitched in 12. But Canada’s hopes on making a run for gold revolve largely around Gilgeous-Alexander playing like one of the best basketball players in the world, and through one game at the World Cup, it certainly looks like he’s ready to rise to the occasion.

Canada will return to action on Aug. 27 against Lebanon in a game that tips off at 5:30 a.m. ET. France, meanwhile, will look to bounce back against Latvia on the same day at 9:30 a.m. ET. Both games will be aired in the United States on ESPN+.

College Football Week 0 Watch Guide: Sickos Unite

The college football season is finally upon us, with Week 0 bringing us seven games to warm us up for when the full slate begins in Week 1.

As is often the case, Week 0 is not exactly filled with tantalizing matchups and is a good test for just how starved you are of college football. There are two ranked squads in action and both are three touchdown favorites, while the most compelling games are those pitting teams likely to be on the outside looking in come bowl season. Still, it’s college football and we haven’t been graced with its presence for eight long months, so it’ll be nice to return to the warm, comforting embrace of the couch on Saturday.

Here, we’ll go through the admittedly thin Week 0 schedule and highlight the games we’ll be watching in each TV window.

Navy (+20.5) vs. Notre Dame (in Ireland), 2:30 p.m. ET (NBC)

Notre Dame will once again kickoff its season in Ireland as part of their Shamrock Series, this time facing Navy as the Midshipmen exit the Ken Niumatalolo era. Navy is still running the triple option, but with new offensive coordinator Grant Chesnut coming in from Kennesaw State, the expectation is for a bit more of a run-pass balance than Navy’s had in the past. Still, the Irish are heavy favorites for a reason, as they look to take a step forward offensively with Sam Hartman coming in at quarterback after starring at Wake Forest for the past few seasons. We’ll find out if Hartman has the weapons around him to bring the offense to life, as that is the big question for Notre Dame after star tight end Michael Mayer left for the NFL. For years, Navy has been a team capable of tripping up opponents and playing them closer than the experts think (to steal Lee Corso’s favorite line), but we still need to find out if this Navy team has that kind of juice in them after a dreadful 2022.

UTEP (-1) at Jacksonville State, 5:30 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network)

The Gamecocks are making their FBS debut after making the transition to Conference USA and will host UTEP in a near-coin flip game at the sportsbooks. Jacksonville State has long been an FCS powerhouse, going 9-2 last year (but weren’t eligible for the playoffs because they were transitioning to FBS this year), and their move up also means former West Virginia, Arizona, and Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez is now back in the top level of college football. UTEP will be a bit of measuring stick for the Gamecocks, as the Miners went 5-7 last year and are a middle of the pack C-USA squad. A win will establish Jacksonville State as an immediate threat for bowl eligibility, while a loss will show there’s some room to grow before finding similar success at the FBS level they had in the FCS.

Ohio (+2.5) at San Diego State, 7:00 p.m. ET (FS1)

The absolute sickos will also keep an eye on New Mexico State-UMass on ESPN in this window as well, but I can’t recommend that beyond “it could be funny.” I do think this will probably end up being the best game of the day, as it pits last year’s MAC runners up, Ohio, against a San Diego State squad looking to bounce back from a disappointing 7-6 campaign. The Aztecs are, typically, a physical team that leans on its defense to win, but last year they were prone to getting leaky on that end and didn’t have the offense to pick up the slack. The Bobcats will be a good early test of whether the SDSU defense has taken some strides back to being one of the best Group of Five units, or if there’s still issues on that end, because Kurtis Rourke is back under center for the Bobcats and can sling it. This will be a fun game of contrasting styles for two good non-power programs.

San Jose State (+30.5) at USC, 8:00 p.m. ET (Pac-12 Network)

The other Power Five program in action at this time is Vanderbilt, as they host Hawaii after blowing the doors off the Rainbow Warriors last year on the road, but of the two, this is the game with the most national intrigue. It’s not college football season until you’re trying to figure out how to watch a game being broadcast on the Pac-12 Network (which, let me offer a preemptive RIP for next year). The reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Caleb Williams, will begin his season at home against the Spartans with dozens able to watch on TV. The selling point for this game is seeing exactly how dominant the USC offense looks out of the gates without Jordan Addison. There are still questions for USC on the defensive side of the ball, but Williams is such a dynamic talent that he’ll give them a chance against most anyone. San Jose State doesn’t figure to have the athletes to hang with USC so we won’t learn all that much on either side of the ball, but it will be a chance to see what playmakers are the early top targets of Williams and just how easily USC carves up the Spartans will be an indicator of how they’re operating early in the season.

FIU (+11) at Louisiana Tech, 9:00 p.m. ET (CBSSN)

My main pitch for this game is that games tend to get weird in Ruston. Last year these two teams played a 42-34 OT thriller in Fort Lauderdale and the Bulldogs will be looking for revenge here to open the season. I don’t foresee a ton of defense being played by either side, and that should make for a pretty entertaining nightcap, even if it’s not especially good football.

Russian TV Pundits Are Pulling Wild Conspiracy Theories Out Of Their A**es To Place Blame On Anyone But Putin For The Coup Guy’s Plane Getting Blasted Out Of The Sky

Russian state media pundits are doing their best to convince viewers that the explosion responsible for downing a private jet carrying Wagner Group founder Dmitry Utkin and its chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, was not the work of President Vladimir Putin. And by “doing their best,” we mean tossing up ridiculous conspiracies blaming NATO, Ukraine, and even the weather.

The Wagner Group is a state-funded military organization — labeled by the United States as a “transnational criminal organization” — comprised of mercenaries with previous training in Russia’s special forces. Prigozhin was a long-time pal of Putin who was often thought to do his dirty work at home and abroad. Putin’s attack on Ukraine strained the pair’s relationship which ended with Prigozhin attempting a coup, marching his troops on Moscow just two months ago, only to abort the whole thing at the last minute. According to CNN, the rebellion marked the biggest challenge to Putin’s rule in 23 years. Now, with news of Prigozhin’s death, the world is speculating that Putin organized the plane crash as revenge for his old friend’s uprising.

And Russia’s on-air TV personalities are in full-on panic mode trying to point the finger at literally anyone else.

The most famous of these, Vladimir Solovyov, has resorted to shouting insults at viewers who question the Russian president’s involvement in the “accident,” and concocting absurd theories about who might want the head of the Wagner Group dead. After claiming Prigozhin represented “no threat” to Putin, Solovyov reminded audiences of the deal the two struck when the Wagner warlord tried to invade Moscow saying, “I’m trying to figure out who might have benefited from it. The very last person it would benefit is Putin! Putin gave a word, he forgave all of them… Putin was never known not to keep his word! He is a man of his reputation… all about the laws.”

Solovyov then tried to shift focus to Ukraine, alleging the country was celebrating Prigozhin’s death on the internet and that he was “target number one” for their military. When an audience member challenged him by theorizing that Ukraine didn’t have the means to pull off such an intricate plan, Solovyov lost it, calling her a “fantastic fool,” other audience members “degenerates,” and ranting, “How hard is it to sneak a bomb on board? It is the simplest thing there is… I’m so sick of fools writing to me! I hate cretins! I just hate them!”

In the end, Solovyov blamed everyone from the United States to NATO to France for the explosion that took Prigozhin’s life but it was his fellow anchor who gave the most compelling theory. Despite video of the crash showing relatively clear skies on the day the plane went down, meteorologist Evgeny Tishkovets said he blames the weather for the tragedy.

Toro Y Moi Dropped A Surprise EP, ‘Sandhills,’ Along With A Short Film

Toro Y Moi makes a sonic departure and a spiritual return on his new EP, Sandhills, which he released today. According to the story on the project’s Bandcamp page, the EP is a love letter to Toro’s South Carolina hometown, Columbia, which he recorded after making a pilgrimage to the locales of his past. Rather than the chillwave and synth-funk of his past projects, Sandhills is a folk-pop project marked by banjos and other homages to small-town Americana — without the weird politics. Here’s a quote from Toro’s Bandcamp:

Toro y Moi’s ‘Sandhills’ is both a tender love letter to Chaz Bear’s hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, and a poignant, bittersweet acceptance that one can never really go back home. Recalling Sufjan’s ‘Seven Swans’ or Karen O’s soundtrack work for ‘Where The Wild Things Are,’ these loping folk-pop songs are themselves a sort of Saturn return, reminiscent of Bear’s first handmade CD-Rs as Toro y Moi. Bear gave them out to friends in the earliest days of the moniker, the releases stuffed in the Case Logic visor of their cars, and each listen brings a little more of that detail to life: the mall after which ‘Sandhills’ is named; the teenaged friends spending aimless hours there, full of big ennui and bigger dreams; the late-capitalist decline and empty big box stores of Sandhills today.

The EP is also accompanied by a short film produced by Toro’s high school photography teacher, Katherine Perry, and directed by her husband Steve Daniels, who worked with Toro on a video for his high school band. The film also features his school’s football team and local artist Ernest Lee (aka Chicken Man), who also created the cover art. Sandhills follows Toro’s collaboration with SBTRKT, “Days Go By,” and his 2022 album Mahal, which spawned its own short film co-starring Eric Andre. Toro Y Moi is billed to appear at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in LA in November.
