Wings' Paige Bueckers to a ref: 'Do you need my glasses?'

Paige Bueckers wasn't available to play on Sunday, a bummer for the Dallas Wings. It did set up one of the funniest moments of their matchup with the Las Vegas Aces, though. After one call went against Dallas, the broadcast cameras focused in on Bueckers. On this day, in casual clothes on the bench, Bueckers was rocking some glasses. And so, she stood up, took a few steps toward an official, and asked, "Do you need my glasses?" Sometimes, that feels like it might be a fair question. That was the high point of the day for the Wings, who lost by 26 to Vegas without Bueckers. They'll just be hoping she can be back soon, because as fun as her referee interactions are when she's not on the court, Bueckers is much more fun in the game.

Volodymyr Zelenskiy Needs to Rescue His Own Presidency

Ukraine's president, the comedian turned Churchillian war leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has backed down on his decision to seize control of the nation's anti-corruption agencies. That averts a potential disaster for his country, and he deserves some credit for making the U-turn. But what to do with him now? Zelenskiy's heroic armor has been shattered. His misstep should serve as a reminder that he wasn't a popular president before Russia's full invasion of February 2022, with an approval rating that hovered around 25%. It was his response to the war, both genuinely gritty and brilliantly produced by the presidential staff he'd drawn from his old TV company, Kvartal 95, that made him a geopolitical rock star.
