I just don’t think the league should allow the Wolves to lose when their unis look this good.

I would love to be able to talk to my dad again, but notice I said “my dad” and not “some AI abomination.”
For real, check this out. Evil.

Spurs wearing gray while playing on a gray floor is not aesthetically pleasing.

(Still yet to see an NBA Cup floor that didn’t make watching the game worse)

Is the hideous floor screwing up everyone’s ability to shoot free throws?

Does Sabonis set an illegal screen on every play or is it just me?

We went to see Stevie Nicks last night and she was amazing, as expected, but my real takeaway is that Anna Graves (who opened) is a fantastic songwriter with a wonderful voice and should be a much bigger star.

I’m a fan of Domantas Sabonis. He’s a fun player to watch for me.

Say what you want about Rudy Gobert, but a good Rudy game is just good, clean fun.

If you’re a Democratic politician and you use “socialist” as an insult, I’m going to be immediately wary of you.

I take no joy in Charlie Kirk’s death. But, for many reasons, not least of which are the jokes and conspiracy theories they hatched after the shooting of John Hoffman and his wife and assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband, MAGAs can spare me all of their bloodthirsty moralizing

Back to back in my timeline. It’s amazing how much Jeffries sucks.

Graham Greene was one of those actors I didn’t think about much until he showed up on screen and then I was always really happy to see him. RIP.

I just don’t know what to make of a world that ignores all the warnings and blindly dives head first into AI and at the same time cuts scientific research. It’s just too goddamned depressing for words.

Help a working man tell ICE to fuck off! Very short thread -
Guys, I have a special & unusual request today. My cousin Sean is a union bus driver here in Los Angeles who was just FIRED in retaliation for saying he would not let masked ICE agents onto his bus to abduct riders. The fight is on to get his job back, you can help: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

Ghislane Maxwell tells Justice Dept. she never saw Trump act inappropriately.

What exactly would constitute inappropriate behavior to a child sex trafficker?

The funniest part about all these MAGAs getting all pissed off about the Cracker Barrel rebrand is how much Cracker Barrel sucks as a restaurant. Seriously, if you want to go to a “country”-coded breakfast place, always choose Waffle House.

This is nothing new, but the DFL convention endorsement reversal really drives home the point that we are surrounded on all sides by selfish, self-serving ghouls.
