It is possible. Go Lynx.

DiJonai (Carrington) post via instagram:

Do not become desensitized to Donald Trump having his masked ICE criminals murder people on the streets of America. Never normalize this evil. The sickness you feel is your conscience. We lose that and we are nothing.

Not everyone is going to catch every bit of symbolism, but a) it would be nice if the MUSIC CRITIC who gets paid to do so could do some of that work for us and b) JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURE IT'S RIGHT THERE

It will be remembered, in part, based on how people write about it. Sigh.

Trying not to put on my tin foil hat here, but if your strategy was to get the media to think you’d toned it down while actually going harder against the observers, a tactic you’d deploy would be to use a fifth column to divide the observers and box out the press, under a left-coded pretext.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

Peacock “ad-free” means ads every time you switch between events apparently

And you’re locked into the ad audio in the multi stream.

Lame.

1) If this was the tipping point to believing Trump is racist, you REALLY haven’t been paying attention

2) I would like the White House press corps to ask, re every batshit crazy thing he puts on Truth Social, “sir, did you ACTUALLY write this? Did you read it before it went out?”

POLITICO reporting that the White House has now claimed the ape video was an accident and removed it.

Will Mike Conley get a welcome back montage? I really hope he gets a welcome back montage.

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 2d

Not just matching the trade, but also lowering the overall cap liability. Because of trade exceptions (I think?), Conley went out for no salary in return. When he resigns post-buyout, he (presumably) does so a pro-rated vet minimum. The Wolves cap liability just dropped by that difference.

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 2d

I suppose it's kinda a version of cap circumvention, which is why there's a rule against doing it with just one trade - creating the opportunity for under-the-table deals is not great. But having it require an under-the-table deal with three teams is maybe protection enough...?

Did Timberwolves PR know the Conley news last night?

The only way to get more Conley than Conley is to BE the Connelly

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 2d

Also 50/50 this is a loophole that gets closed in the next CBA but will be known as the “Conley/Connelly loophole”

Free agent guard Mike Conley Jr. plans to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell ESPN. The sides are working on timing of him re-signing. Conley was traded twice this week – to Chicago, then to Charlotte – before being released and allowed to rejoin the Wolves.

Do you think Memphis holds on to Kyle Anderson? I know he’s got history there but I’m guessing he’d prefer a contender and certainly doesn’t fit long term plans

I’m really hoping it’s right!

Sam Kamin @sjkamin.bsky.social · 3d

I'm not 100% if this is how this works, but according to Spotrac we're $1.51m under the 1st apr after the trades. We've also got 30 games (or ~36%) of the season left.

The vet minimum for 10+ years of service is $3.9m.

So Bite Bite's prorated minimum would be... 3.9m x 36% = $1.4m...

...aka GOOD!
