We have that and more in Monday’s NBA newsletter.
Surprising few who can count to 27,900,000, Carmelo Anthony has decided not to opt out of the final year of his contract with the Thunder. He’ll be paid $27.9 million -- he wouldn’t have commanded anything close to that on the open market, and especially not on a competitive team where the coach refuses to force Melo into a more limited role.
Really, Melo has it quite sweet in Oklahoma City: the media pressure is limited because of the...
His second Minnesota squad still has glaring holes, but should be in lots of close games.
Bill C’s annual preview series of every FBS team in college football continues. Catch up here!
You have to say this for Fleck: he’s not one for short-term solutions. Even if it means losses in the interim, and even if it means youth movements or trial and error, he’s going to take his time figuring out solutions.
At his last job, short-term pain meant long-term domination. He won just three of...

Apple might be upgrading its headphone lineup in a big way next year with a new, high-end version of its wireless AirPods headphones with noise cancellation and water resistant technology and a (previously rumored) over-ear model, according to a report from Bloomberg.
An earlier report from Barclays analysts claimed that Apple would add the noise-cancellation feature to its AirPods sometime in 2019. Bloomberg’s report does indicate a delay for the over-ear models, though, which were...
We haven’t been able to avoid privacy policies in our post-GDPR world, but figuring out what these legal documents are trying to tell us isn’t easy. They’re typically filled with legalese and boring chatter about data and how it’s handled. I get why no one wants to spend time reading them.
So to save us all some effort, I called a couple lawyers — Nate Cardozo from the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Joseph Jerome from the Center for Democracy and Technology — to learn how...
LeBron James is not interested in elaborate recruiting pitches as he weighs his options, sources told ESPN.
Monday: Why migrants seek entry into the United States, President Trump attacks immigrants and the judicial system, and the world’s ugliest dog.
NATO member Turkey slid towards one-man authoritarian rule Sunday, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was returned to office under a new executive presidential system that gives him almost unchecked power.
The 64-year-old, who has dominated Turkish politics since becoming prime minister in 2003, comfortably won the first round of a presidential poll, securing nearly 53 percent of the vote. His nearest rival, Muharrem Ince of the secular Republican People's Party, could muster just 31...

Actions speak louder than words — particularly when those actions show just how much you care about a person.
People with disabilities have been sharing their partners' actions that show them just how much they're loved — actions that are "different from the way abled people show love."
Get the tissues at the ready, you're in for some very moving Twitter #content.

He may have written some incredibly long novels, but Stephen King does brevity well too.
You only need to read some of the many, many Twitter barbs he's aimed at the U.S. President to know how lethal he can be over a shorter character count.

On Sunday, the horror master decided to tweet his thoughts about Twitter itself. And the simile he used pretty much nailed it.
I like Twitter. It's like gossiping over the world's longest backyard...

Recent news of Amazon’s engagement with law enforcement to provide facial recognition surveillance (branded ‘Rekognition’), along with the almost unbelievable news of China’s use of the technology means that the technology industry needs to address the darker, more offensive side of some of its more...
Welcome to this week in baseball-related still images and videos. The Phillie Phanatic almost shot someone’s eye out.
It’s that time of the week where we meet and talk about various baseball things. Last week at this time, the Indians hadn’t yet run away with the American League Central, and the Mets were on a teensy little winning streak. Right now ... neither of those things are true. A lot can change in a week.
For example, Mike Trout hit just .278 without an extra-base hit last...
It looks like a magazine. It reads like a magazine. It even has the word “magazine” on the front cover. But don’t be fooled. “Grow by Facebook,” a new quarterly publication from the social network, is definitely not a magazine. Rather it’s a “thought leadership platform” about people “challenging the status quo,” according to the company.
Why the Orwellian double-speak over its first foray into print? Because the social network in no way wants to be seen as a publisher...
From raising the heat to 100 degrees to playing loud music remotely over an Echo, abusers are terrifying victims through smart home tech.
The New York Times has an interesting (and horrifying) story about how domestic abusers are using the latest home gadgets to inflict new kinds of abuse on their victims. The Times conducted more than 30 interviews with victims, lawyers, and shelter workers who highlighted some of the ways home tech is being used for terror:

By the middle of this week, all Amazon Prime members will have access to discounts at Whole Foods Market stores across the U.S. — finishing a nationwide rollout that’s part of the retailer’s master plan to dominate physical and virtual commerce in America.
All Prime members will receive 10% off hundreds of sale items and “deep discounts on select popular products,” the retailer said in a statement.
In the six weeks since Amazon first made the discounts available to shoppers in...
