Election Day 2020, a young guy walked up to me in Astoria and said he was running for state assembly. A man near me asked, “Are you a Democrat? I don’t like Democrats, I’m voting for the Republican.” And the young guy said “I have bad news, I’m running unopposed.” Anyway, he just got elected mayor.

It’s weird to see the news about Billups and Rozier getting arrested when all the other headlines are “Legal scholars question whether Trump has the authority to cut off the head of the Lincoln Memorial as he boldly saws away.”

Ok, I've been a fan of @alexanderckane.bsky.social's books for a while now, but Dragon Heist might just be the best of them.
Here's hoping for a sequel!

How to make teams care: Winner of the NBA Cup gets 5 extra points to use during the regular season. Runner-up gets 2.
Lost by 1? You use two of your points and now you win.
To use the points, the head coach blows into a ram's horn. The coach carries it with him at all times. This is a good idea.

I want one preseason NBA game every year in which the players call their own fouls.
I would like to see one basketball game with free throws turned off. Fouls would still count but you’d just keep taking the ball out from the sideline.

The endgame of the trans athlete scare is defining what a woman is and punishing woman for not conforming to that standard.
Algeria is anti-LGBTQ. It is illegal to be trans in Algeria. This is about punishing women for living their lives honestly and demanding you recognize their excellence.

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about
A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.
NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's attorneys urgently ask Judge Farbiarz to order ICE to permit Khalil to hold his newborn son today "for the most elementary human reasons." ICE has so far denied the request, despite his wife and child having made the 1,500-mile trip. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
