I wrote about my grandmother, Chien-Shiung Wu — a pioneering nuclear physicist who’s on a 2021 USPS stamp — but also about loss, immigrants, fame, scientific ambition, women in STEM, and the questions we have about our families that are too late to ask. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

My Chinese American dad who raised me as a Knicks fan from birth: “That was pretty great!” Which is the most effusive he’s like ever been. NEW YORK NEW YORK!!! #knicks

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

So the refs did marching orders, calling everything and extending the series so everyone makes more $$$ and now they’re responding to the outcry by calling *nothing. Got it #knicks

No stronger luggage game than the DR Congo national team 🧳🔥

They just led an elephant through the @TexasGOP convention and it took a giant pee right near the press area.

HOUSTON — Elephant joins Texas GOP convention, and pees right between the press area and delegates, after Gov. Greg Abbott’s speech.

The World Cup isn’t real. What do you mean the Mexican and South Korean fans celebrated their victories yesterday by dancing to Gangnam Style?

I’M SCREAMING

By FAR my favorite Knicks reaction video I’ve seen so far. The camera work, the timing of the music, the delayed reaction. Simply incredible

Knicks fans were celebrating and threw this cone perfectly on someone’s head This clip is unreal. 🤣🤣🤣 (via @sidetalknyc)

I love Mariska Hargitay’s lore as a Knicks fanatic so, so much I just wish the millions who have stories about how we’ve watched the Knicks since we were kids, how our dads scalped nosebleed tickets outside the Garden, etc. also got to sit courtside at the finals sometimes, too.

Goosebumps
