It's not lost on me that Jokic got injured because of exactly the sort of offensive push-off that Thinking Basketball piece pointed out. If you let defending guards get shoved backwards into their bigs, stuff like this is bound to happen. youtu.be/vfViuDuT62E?...

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

It is still The Newsletter, but Luke also turned Hell World into a pretty fantastic magazine over the last year. It is always worth paying for, but he's made it increasingly worth it.
I'm so lucky to have been able to publish a great array of talented reporters and writers this year. Here's the best stuff they wrote for Hell World in 2025.

catching up on last night's Spurs/Thunder. First time hearing a soccer-style chant during an NBA game (I'm assuming from that fan section Wemby put together?). I have trouble seeing it take off considering how faster paced the game is, but it's fun to hear 'em try it.
