Good morning —

Today's puzzle weaves together some heavy news threads—from crime and justice to natural disasters and the fragility of both nature and infrastructure—alongside lighter brushstrokes from entertainment and sports. There's a gentle melancholy running through it, touching on loss and disruption, but also the kind of everyday resilience we see in weather forecasts and game predictions. Take about 3-5 minutes to sit with these clues as a quieter way to check in with what's been happening in the world around us.
