Sly Stone channeled multitudes; they were all gloriously American
There are a host of images of Sly Stone in which his onstage style serves as a celebration of the freedom and power that were the by-products of being a rock star, but also the jet fuel. He could be a blend of blinding sequins, flashing metallics and all manner of hats, from broad brims and newsboys to a crochet bucket hat adorned with a glamorous brooch. His face could be haloed in a wondrously buoyant Afro. His hair could reach skyward in a rainbow-colored mohawk. And it could be straight-combed and curled like a child's on Easter Sunday. When he performed, he could swagger with a bravado that spoke of street cool, and he could lower his voice and tilt his head like a preacher halfway through a sermon but just getting warmed up.

Caitlin Clark's Effect on Pacers Amid NBA Finals is Turning Heads
Caitlin Clark's Effect on Pacers Amid NBA Finals is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Pacers continue to defy their doubters, as they took Game 3 of the NBA Finals by a final score of 116-107 over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Advertisement The Thunder were heavily favored to win the world championship coming into this series, but the Pacers now lead the series 2-1. The Hoosier State is stoked about the very real possibility of the Larry O'Brien Trophy landing there for the first time ever. This is the Pacers' second trip to the NBA Finals and their first since 2000, and fans can almost start to taste the champagne. Indiana Fever stars Caitlin Clark and Aliyah BostonKyle Terada-Imagn Images One of their biggest fans is Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark. She was on hand at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday for Game 3 along with several of her teammates, and she may be a good luck charm for the Pacers. When she has been in attendance this season, the Pacers have been 8-0. Fans on X reacted to this interesting statistic. Advertisement "That's a cool stat," one fan wrote. "She needs to attend 2 more games," another fan chimed in. "Or maybe it's the spirit of Jim Ursay," a third fan wrote, referring to former Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, who died a few weeks ago. "CC Effect," a fourth user wrote. "The @NBA saw what the @NFL did with @taylorswift13 and said, 'Hey we can do that with @CaitlinClark22!!' 😂😂😂 #conspiracytheory" a fifth user mused. "Thank you @CaitlinClark22," another fan added. During the regular season, the Pacers finished with the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference. Many were counting them out as the playoffs started, even though they reached the Eastern Conference finals last year. Advertisement But they knocked out the Cleveland Cavaliers, who finished first with 64 wins, in the second round, and they shoved past the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals. Throughout this postseason, they have gotten the job done not only with their potent fast break but also by overcoming late deficits and getting some late-game heroics from Tyrese Haliburton. The Pacers can put a stranglehold on this championship series when Game 4 takes place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday.

Woman Is Confident Her Chair Is Blue — But the Internet Has Other Plans
One TikTok user grabbed the internet's attention over the color of her chair. The saga began in early June when a now-viral video was shared by Kristin (@ which has now amassed over two million views. In the beginning of the clip, she asked the question that started it all: 'Is this chair gray or blue?" Kristin explained that she was asking because she was giving the chair away to someone, and the person thought the chair was gray while Kristin had always believed her chair was blue. "And she's like, 'Can you get more pictures? It's gray.' And I'm like, 'OK, but my couch and my chair have always been blue,' but now she's gaslighting me and I'm starting to believe it." The California resident then flips her phone camera to reveal the chair in question, leaving many users baffled at the sight of it. 'It's not only gray, it's very freaking gray,' one user said. 'I adjusted the screen brightness on my phone and everything trying my hardest to back you up, but sweet Moses that is a very gray chair,' said another user. Despite differing in opinion with the internet, Kristin continued to be in good spirits and joked about the debacle in videos. 'It can't be gray! It's not gray, is it?' she said as she laughed in a video posted after her viral video. Users also pointed out that a couch in the background of her original video matched the chair's color, leaving Kristin with another question: What other things in her house are gray? 'The couch is navy. The couch was never part of the question… the couch has always been dark blue!' she said in a follow-up video. She then introduces other items in her house that she thought were blue or gray, and TikTok users were quick to share their opinions. 'The rug is dark navy blue. But your couch and that blanket are 100% grey,' one user said. After a few days of realizations and laughs, Kristin sat down to take an online color blind test, though she emphasized she would go to a doctor before confirming anything. The test results suggested that she may be protan color blind, where she may have red-green color blindness. Though the realization was a shock, Kristin stayed in good spirits and has now asked viewers to help her pick a new couch. In the comments, one person thought up the scenario in which Kristin accidentally buys another gray couch. 'I'm checking the description this time,' Kristin replied with a laughing emoji.
