If it was so easy to win NBA championships against "firefighters and plumbers" in the 60s that Bill Russell's octopeat and 11 total rings shouldn't "count" how come nobody else could beat him?

THIS is Boston #Celtics basketball.
White gives it up to Queta. Queta hands off to Pritchard and rolls. Pritchard drives and skips it to White, who relocated to the corner. White catches and immediately swings to Hauser, who lifted from the corner into the space vacated by Queta/PP. Hauser drills the three. Beautiful basketball!

Kudos to my Congressperson @whipkclark.bsky.social for going to Burlington to check this facility out. Total outrage that she was not let in. #mapoli
Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, the second-highest ranking Democrat in the House, said she was turned away from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Burlington field office early Monday morning when she arrived for an unannounced oversight visit. https://bit.ly/46uuMck

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

So, I agree with this take, of course.
AND perhaps contradicting that, the performance *was also* squarely for the people mad about it. It was aimed at the bigots of the US to send a message: “we are here, we are joyful, we have a rich history & culture.” In that way it was for them.

I feel like there are so many celebrity ads and like…isn’t there diminishing returns on this? Like, at some point does the value of associating a product with a celebrity diminish because there’s just so many???
