Having a society is gonna be difficult when no one can believe their own eyes anymore.
I showed my girlfriend the (real) video of a fan storming the court during the Clippers-Nuggets game the other day and she was convinced it was AI. It’s not just creating fake stories, the non-stop AI onslaught causes people to doubt the real ones too.

The Dems should have kept the federal government closed tbh.
Our tax money is just being funneled to these grifters.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

The Jazz need to shut Lauri Markkanen down soon or they might be at real risk of conveying a mid-to-late lottery pick to OKC this year

Jared McCain is being assigned to the G League and will suit up for the Delaware Blue Coats tonight. Here’s why it’s the right move, who he’ll be playing alongside, and how to watch:

Jared McCain assigned to Delaware Blue Coats
After struggling to find a rhythm in his first three games back, the 2024 first round pick is headed on a baseball-style rehab assignment.

Fun fact: The NBA's defending champ is on course to land TWO lottery picks in 2026, thanks to the flailing Clippers and tanking Jazz.
Obvious solution: The rest of the NBA should conspire to lose to the Clips and Jazz as often as possible.

Fully in favor of this. Let the kid get his legs back under him in a lower-stakes environment before throwing him back into the fire.
Sixers announce that Jared McCain has been assigned to the Delaware Blue Coats. Feels similar to when a baseball player gets a rehab assignment in Triple A. He can get more minutes in less-“important” game action as he works his way back. Blue Coats play tonight and Saturday at home.

19-63

The Wizards' record over the past three seasons:
15-67

According to @sports-reference.com, 21 teams have finished a season with a point differential of -10/gm or worse. It’s very early still. As of tonight (with the Kings getting drubbed) 5 teams are currently -10/gm or worse.
If the season ended today, WAS would have the worst PD in NBA history.

On a completely unrelated note, the OKC Thunder own the Clippers’ fully unprotected 2026 1st-round pick.
