Steph Curry continues to show that just about any shot from long distance is makeable -- no matter the sport. Curry, who has made more than his share of highlight-reel shots during his NBA career, added to his legacy on the golf course Saturday with a hole-in-one at the American Century Championship celebrity tournament in Stateline, Nevada. Curry, who led the event after the first round, sank his tee shot on the par-3, 152-yard seventh hole at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course -- the first ever on the hole during the American Century Championship.

Yeah, but I don't think the estates of men who died 30+ years ago will be too litigious.

Yes. Andy Cohen is great friends with him.

I understand actors' concerns about AI, and I think they are quite valid. However, I can't help but think of the possible gay porn benefits. As someone who was a fan of quite a few stars from the 1980s, I've become much more cognizant than I was back then about how many of them often did scenes with guys that weren't comparatively as hot. Just imagine if the technology became simple and cheap enough that anybody could pair up any 2 (or 10) guys they'd want to see together, even if they never worked together. (and wouldn't THAT be an interesting topic?)

A lonely and jobless Japanese woman reportedly bombarded first responders with 2,761 fake calls for help — just to get some attention. Hiroko Hatagami, 51, of Matsudo, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of obstructing operations of the local fire department, The Mainichi reported. The needy nuisance told investigators she kept ringing up emergency services because “I was lonely and wanted someone to listen to me and give me attention,” according to the outlet. The myriad calls to the Matsudo Fire Department between Aug.15, 2020, and May 25 reportedly included bogus declarations that “I have a stomachache,” “I took a large dose of medicine” and “My legs hurt.” When ambulances arrived, the serial complainer turned them away with responses like, “I don’t want to take an ambulance” and “I didn’t make the call,” The Mainichi said. Police and fire officials warned Hatagami on a number of occasions to stop calling and wasting their resources, but she kept at it until a formal report was filed — and she was arrested, the outlet reported.

Man behind viral blue-black dress illusion charged with trying to kill wife The Scottish man who rose to fame in 2015 over his mother-in-law’s viral black-and-blue or gold-and-white dress that divided the internet is now accused of trying to murder his wife. Keir Johnston, 38, of the Isle of Colonsay, appeared at the High Court in Glasgow on Monday after being charged with the attempted murder of his wife, Grace Johnston. He had allegedly committed an 11-year campaign of domestic violence acts and coercive control against Grace, which allegedly led to him trying to kill her last March by pinning her to the ground and compressing her neck. Keir denied all allegations against him, including that he repeatedly assaulted his wife at their home before brandishing a knife and attempting to strangle her. Other allegations stemming from incidents between April 2019 and March 2022 include allegedly pushing Grace against a wall, shouting at her and throttling her. The couple became viral sensations in 2015 after their friend and wedding guest, Caitlin McNeill, posted a picture to Tumblr of a dress Grace’s mother, Cecilia Bleasdale, wore to their wedding. People within the Johnstons’ close circle declared that the dress appeared to be blue and black in the photo while others were firm it was white and gold. The debate also intrigued the internet, and the garment became simply known as “the dress” or “the dress that broke the internet.” Celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Chrissy Teigen all weighed into the online conversation on how their brains processed the colors. It was so controversial that Keir, Grace and McNeill, even appeared on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” where Bleasdale came out wearing the dress that was indeed black and blue. DeGeneres presented the couple with a $10,000 check as well as a trip to the Caribbean. The attempted murder case will get a preliminary hearing before a trial in 2024. For the record... white and gold

Actor Michael Rapaport declares Sal, Kris & Charlie’s in Astoria the best deli in the city When Rapaport visited his favorite sandwich spot this past week, he posted to Tik Tok, captioning his video, “Sal & Kris is the BEST OF THE BEST in NYC. Period.” “Alright, I’m gonna make this short and quick. Listen, I don’t do sandwich reviews, because there’s only one place in New York City. You want a true-blue New York hero? Sal & Kris’s Astoria, Queens,” Rapaport raved. “If you’ve never had a sandwich from Sal & Kris in Astoria, Queens, you’ve never really had a New York sandwich, trust me,” Rapaport said. “Forget all the rest, classic New York hero– Sal & Kris, Astoria, Queens. This place ain’t for vegetarians, alright, it’s the real deal, New York.” Located at 33-12 23rd Ave. Sal, Kris & Charlie’s Deli is well-known for its massive, 14-inch-long heroes. (that's a lot of meat, though if those are 'gay porn' inches, it's probably more like 9 1/2 - 10) The spot was previously reviewed by the New York Times in 2018, which highlighted the “supersized sandwiches” beloved by many.

Maybe they should call him Carlos AlcaTraz... World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz admitted Wednesday that his dad likely was recording Novak Djokovic’s training at Wimbledon after a report surfaced from Serbian outlet b92 that Alcaraz’s father “closely followed the events at Djokovic’s training” and was “at one point recording everything that was happening.” Alcaraz, the 20-year-old Spanish phenom, is on track to face Djokovic in the Wimbledon final. Alcaraz insisted there was nothing fishy going on with his father’s filming. “My father is a huge fan of tennis,” he said. “He doesn’t only watch my matches. I think he gets into the club at 11 a.m., gets out at 10 p.m., watching matches, watching practice from everyone, being able to watch Djokovic in real life, yeah, probably it is true he’s filmed the sessions.” The reigning U.S. Open champion said he doesn’t think film from those practice sessions would play a role during a potential matchup with the Serbian tennis legend, who owns the men’s tennis record with 23 major titles. “I don’t think so,” he said, smiling. “I mean, I have a lot of videos from Djokovic on every platform. I think it’s not an advantage for me.” The filming saga, dubbed “Spygate” by the British press, recycling the name of the infamous NFL scandal involving Bill Belichick’s Patriots, picked up steam when Djokovic, 36, asked during his press conference for more privacy. “The circumstances are such that we don’t have privacy in training, although sometimes I would like to have more privacy,” Djokovic said. “Then it gives me more opportunities to try some things, to communicate more clearly with my team. “The fact is that you are not completely relaxed in training. You know your rivals are there, you know everyone is looking over your shoulder at what’s going on, what you’re working on. Every shot is measured, evaluated and assessed. “That, through some analysis, affects the eventual meeting with Alcaraz or anyone. Concentration is required. For me, training is like a match. I bring that intensity to training as well.”

Social Security recipients finally have something to cheer about: the forecast for next year’s Social Security increase edged up on Wednesday even after the government said inflation cooled further in June. YIPPIE! Lower inflation is generally welcomed because people are regaining their purchasing power. but Social Security recipients, used to seeing their potential cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) decline with slower inflation, got an unusual extra surprise. COLA is estimated at 3% next year, according to a forecast from The Senior Citizens League, a nonprofit seniors group. That’s much less than the four-decade high of 8.7% COLA in 2023 but above last month’s estimate for a 2.7% increase for 2024. The average trailing twelve-month inflation rate that the league uses to project inflation in coming months rose slightly, affecting "our COLA estimate rising from 2.7% last month to 3% based on the June data," said Mary Johnson, Social Security and Medicare policy analyst at The Senior Citizens League. The average monthly check for Social Security beneficiaries was $1,701.62 in May, according to SSA. A 3% COLA would mean about an extra $51 each month. Cautious optimism Ebbing inflation coupled with a higher COLA is music to a Social Security recipient's ear, but Johnson warned that this could all change again. "There are still three more months of data before the COLA is announced in October and this estimate could change," she said. COLA is determined using the average inflation of July, August and September and then comparing it to the year-ago figure. The percentage difference between the two is the amount of the COLA. Additionally, Social Security recipients won’t learn the bottom line until the Medicare Part B premiums are announced. Part B premiums are automatically deducted from most beneficiaries’ Social Security benefits. "In many years, the Part B premium increase can take most, or even all, the COLA, leaving little else to cover other rising prices," Johnson said. In March, Medicare Trustees forecasted monthly Part B premiums would increase to $174.80 in 2024 from $164.90 this year. "But that’s an estimate, and it doesn’t include any significant new costs that come up after the estimate is released," Johnson said. "One of the most significant new costs could be Medicare’s coverage for a new Alzheimer’s drug —lecanemab, known by the brand name Leqembi, which is expected to cost $26,000 per year without insurance." The next COLA will be announced in October and be effective starting January 2024. https://www.aol.com/social-security-cola-2024-estimates-180424412.html

Wall Street got an extra dose of encouragement to bid up stocks after another inflation report reinforced bets the Federal Reserve is approaching an interest-rate peak. All of a sudden, “disinflation” becomes the buzzword across trading desks, with investors looking on the bright side of data showing a slowdown in prices — even though core inflation is still running above the central bank’s 2% target. Equities gained further traction on news that Fed Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard — who called for aggressive hikes to fight the recent inflation surge — has resigned. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-12/stock-market-today-dow-s-p-live-updates?srnd=markets-vp#xj4y7vzkg
