Astros' Cheating Haunts Clayton Kershaw's Memory of 2017 World Series - Sports Illustrated

tl;dr
I'm a big Clayton Kershaw fan and this just makes me sad. Kershaw has a reputation for being completely dominant in the regular season, but choking in the post-season. 2017 looked to be the year he turned that around. That is, until he played a game against the Astros at Minute Maid park in Game 5 of the World Series. Kershaw gave up two leads and the Dodgers lost the game and eventually the Series. The recent news that the Astros cheated in 2017 puts all of this in a new and very ugly light. To his credit, Kershow is doing his part to move past it.

tl;dr
This article looks at a few examples of the new tools available in WSL2. The tight integration with VS Code is very cool. You can run multiple Linux distros side by side and even migrate Linux installations between Windows systems with just a few Powershell commands. He mentions Windows Terminal and I'd also recommend checking it out. You can tell Scott gets a kick out of this stuff. He seems to have fun with it.
