Kentucky is now the first state in the nation to capture oblique (side/angle view) photography of its entire geography from the sky. The KYFromAbove Program and its contractor, NV5 , achieved this milestone after pilots flew 2,600 flight lines over Kentucky’s beautiful landscape, travelling 117,000 miles and capturing 40,660 square miles of the commonwealth’s land, including our cities, towns, farms, lakes, mountains and more.

The Current GA

Georgia voters kicked out incumbents, picked replacements for departing legislators and set the stage for June runoffs as well as the big show in November. Ballot casters up and down the Peach State made choices Tuesday that are already set to reshape the state Legislature, which could have an even greater effect on the average Georgian than who sits in the White House this time next year.

Justin Sayles and Jodi Walker go back to the courtroom and recap The Jinx: Part Two finale. They start by discussing Season 1’s shocking conclusion, how true crime has progressed as a genre and since exploded into mainstream popularity between seasons, and why the opening scene is the most powerful moment in Part Two (1:43). Next, they unpack how the return of the HBO docuseries differs from the initial run of episodes and what worked (and didn’t) across this unexpected follow-up season nearly 10 years after the fact (9:01). Later, they break down why some of the stuff left on the cutting-room floor had the potential to improve the final product of the second season (44:41).

In an age of cults, sports are the last gasp of the monoculture—the last remnant of the 20th-century mainstream still standing. Even so, the new NBA media rights deal is astonishing. At a time when basketball ratings are in steady decline, the NBA is on the verge of signing a $70-plus billion sports rights deal that would grow its annual media rights revenue by almost three times. How does that make any sense? (Try asking your boss for a tripled raise when your performance declines 2 percent a year, and tell us how that goes.) And what does this madness tell us about the state of sports and TV economics in the age of cults and cord-cutting? John Ourand, sports correspondent with Puck News, explains.

The Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga script is full of “Holy shit!” moments. But when Tom Burke first read it, a single line shot straight up like a red flare in his head. “I remember exactly what it said in the script,” he recalls. “It said, ‘The Mortifiers become the Mortiflyers.’”

Bill Walton was perhaps never so lucky as he was in his very first game of organized basketball, when he was but a fourth grader riding the bench on the sixth-grade squad at the Blessed Sacrament Parish School in San Diego, California. He sat for nearly all four periods, entering only once it had become a certifiable blowout. In the final moments of the game, he caught a soon-to-be-familiar vision that would come to define his style as one of basketball’s all-time great centers: Out on the perimeter, the young Walton saw a wide-open teammate directly under the rim and rocketed a pass toward the basket. “But I misjudged the distance,” Walton wrote in his 1994 autobiography. “And instead heaved the ball directly through the hoop, nothing but net.”
