I say this every NBA trade deadline, but if I ever have to learn what a trade exception is or how to calculate it for my job, I swear to God I am going to hunt down everyone who rooted for a salary cap in MLB and fill the air vents in their cars with bees
If I'm counting it all up right, the Grizzlies have turned Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. into Cedric Coward, five first-round picks (plus a swap), about $17.5M in expiring contracts and the biggest trade exception in NBA history. Lots of raw materials to work with, at least.

re-listening to Revolutions because I thought my Dad would really like it and like having media with no visual input. We're almost done with the French Revolution and @mikeduncan.bsky.social remarks that he's reactivated his twitter and I cried out eleven years into the past saying "no! don't!"

it's killing me that the DoD gave CBP anti-aircraft capability it leaked that CBP used it to shoot down a children's party balloon and CBP had to reach out and correct the record that actually they shot down FOUR children's party balloons

renard johnson hasn't really had much to deal with as mayor, a pretty bad response to a water contamination ended up mostly blamed on the city council, but him coming out and basically saying "hey, what the hell are you idiots doing" is a pretty good public stance.

Okay, reading the actual statements (assuming they're accurate, which is a BIG assumption these days), the military started taling out drones with lasers and stuff, didn't TELL the FAA about it, and when the FAA found out didn't stop so the FAA put out the TFR to protect civil traffic until

so DOD was doing a drone test, didn't tell the civvies, and the civvies went "OH FUCK ALIENS?????" because communication is what marriage counselors tell you to do, and only <radio edit>s do what marriage counselors tell them to do.

Being very insistent on my nonintuitive nickname was very good Ally Training.
Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

Football players are football players because they like playing football. They dont want to tank. And they dont want you to make up a medical reason out of whole cloth so that you can tank.
Maxx Crosby reportedly has told Tom Brady that Crosby will never play for the Raiders again.
