• We watched: this video promoting the 2020 Heart Ball, of which Joe Jr. and Lacy will be chairs. In it, Joseph III talks about his experience as a heart surgery patient. We think he did a great job).

• We think: the most recent NBA Finals were especially fun to watch, even with the injury-depleted Warriors. We have a bias for Eastern teams, so enjoyed Toronto’s win. One of the key post-season subplots is what Kevin Durant will look like when we returns from his injury, probably during the 2020-21 season. In the meantime we look forward to seeing where all of player movement leaves the league this season.

• We read: about professional decline and what it means for well-being and productivity. We really like the author, Arthur Brooks, and think you’ll enjoy the piece.

• We've been: concerned about the potentially harmful effects of social media, having seen a steady stream of reports linking its use to higher rates of depression and even suicide. The truth, according to these researchers, is that we have no conclusive understanding of the real impact. It may be true that social media is harmful, but we don’t actually know. Many who claim that knowledge are building businesses based on it, which gives us pause..

• We recommend: Toy Story 4. A great film for kids or adults. Visually, another amazing achievement, which we certainly take for granted in the age of digital filmmaking.
