The Houston Rockets star’s points binge is reaching historic heights. Here are the numbers that tell the tale of one of the most thrilling rides in recent NBA history.
James Harden is the only NBA player other than Wilt Chamberlain to score 30-plus points in 20 consecutive games. It’s easy to marvel at any number from Harden’s historic run, but that simple fact emerges from the crowd much like Harden’s absurd 35.7 points-per-game figure emerges from the mass of near-30 averages this season. Yet a closer look only enhances the amazement produced by Harden’s 2018-19 season.

The World Might Actually Run Out of People

You know the story. Despite technologies, regulations, and policies to make humanity less of a strain on the earth, people just won’t stop reproducing. By 2050 there will be 9 billion carbon-burning, plastic-polluting, calorie-consuming people on the planet. By 2100, that number will balloon to 11 billion, pushing society into a Soylent Green scenario. Such dire population predictions aren’t the stuff of sci-fi; those numbers come from one of the most trusted world authorities, the United Nations.
But what if they’re wrong? Not like, off by a rounding error, but like totally, completely goofed?
That’s the conclusion Canadian journalist John Ibbitson and political scientist Darrell Bricker come to in their newest book, Empty Planet, due out February 5th. After painstakingly breaking down the numbers for themselves, the pair arrived at a drastically different prediction for the future of the human species. “In roughly three decades, the global population will begin to decline,” they write. “Once that decline begins, it will never end.”

A Hostless Oscars? The Last Time the Academy Tried That, Things Got Ugly

As the Academy goes into late December without a host to replace Kevin Hart at the helm of the 2019 Oscars show, talk has turned to the idea of having a show without a host. It has been done a few times in the past, both in shows in the late ’60s and early ’70s and then again as recently as 1989.
But be careful what you wish for, all you who are proposing a hostless Oscars.
After all, the last Academy Awards show that didn’t have a host, the 61st Oscars in 1989, is widely considered the worst Oscars ever. No, the lack of a host didn’t really have much to do with the show’s multitudinous failures. And no, this year’s producer, Donna Gigliotti, and co-producer and director, Glenn Weiss, aren’t likely to make the kind of mistakes that Allan Carr made back then.

The 2019 Academy Awards ceremony will have no host for the first time in three decades.
After weeks of scrambling to find a replacement for actor and comedian Kevin Hart, who stepped down following backlash over past homophobic comments, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ultimately opted to forgo having a host, ABC Entertainment PR and an academy spokesperson told ABC News on Tuesday.
The academy did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
The academy selected Hart in early December to host the 91st Academy Awards following a prolonged search amid declining ratings for the annual broadcast. The choice quickly came under fire, with critics noting the comedian’s previous tweets and jokes expressing homophobia.

The degrading names in the tweet below seem parroted from one of our esteemed leaders who preaches unity in SOTU speeches. I wonder who that could be.
