Markets
Tech stocks got hammered on a broad selloff, with the Nasdaq down 4.8% as the 10-year Treasury yield jumped 1.9% for the week, making bonds actually competitive again.
- Why it matters: When Treasury yields spike that fast, growth stocks suffer because their future earnings are worth less in today's dollars. Nvidia, Tesla, and Dell all dropped 6%+ because they're priced on the assumption of cheap money that just got more expensive.
- Watch for: The inflation print on Thursday will tell you whether this selloff was justified or overdone. If CPI stays hot, the Fed stays stubborn, and yields keep climbing. If it cools, tech gets a chance to stabilize.
- What to bring up: Bitcoin's up 3% while stocks tank, which is the first time in months it's decoupled from the Nasdaq in a down market. That's traders hedging against continued volatility or rotating to non-correlated assets.

Sports BizKnicks take 2-0 series lead over Spurs
What happened: New York won Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals against San Antonio, with the Knicks getting some favorable late-game calls and executing in crucial moments.
Why it matters: The Knicks are one win away from their first championship since 1970, and MSG ticket prices for Games 3 and 4 just jumped hard — meaning the city actually believes this is happening.
What to say: If the Knicks pull this off, New York loses its mind for a week straight.

TVAnthony Head, Buffy's Giles, dead at 72
What happened: The British actor who played the headmaster and father figure on Buffy the Vampire Slayer passed away, and the cast released a joint tribute.
Why it matters: Giles was the moral center of that show — the guy who actually gave a damn — and losing him hits different if you grew up with that series.
What to say: Giles made you want to read more and take yourself less seriously at the same time.

StreamingSeverance — Season 2
What happened: The show about surgical work-life separation — employees literally split their memories at the office door — came back and picked up exactly where it left off.
Why it matters: Worth your time.
What to say: Just put it on.
LevelsLevels puts a sensor on your arm and shows what your blood sugar does in real time for 30 days. The insight most people get in week one: that the "healthy" foods they eat are causing major spikes, and the foods they thought were bad aren't. You'll change two or three things and keep them changed for years. The honest flaw: $199 for the first month is a lot for data you could get cheaper elsewhere — but the visual feedback loop is what actually creates behavior change. Worth one month as an experiment.
