I deleted my Twitter account.

Apparently, I'm the #1 "Sabonis hater." My opinions about the Sacramento Kings are 90% negative and have been for the past 10 years. I hate that I've been correct on all almost all of them. I yearn to be wrong.

you do have to do it in a couple of places but this tutorial makes it easy to go uncheck the boxes that otherwise lets Google's AI read all your shit. or move everything over to protonmail but moving everything over is a giant thing I know.
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

This seems like a crazy important story that is getting very little coverage here - especially if it destabilizes the regime

Study after study shows that using LLMs is bad for cognition, bad for learning, bad for understanding, bad for mental health. So why are our schools and universities still relentlessly pushing them?
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

OMAX should be a King. I'm so glad we traded him so we could pay Sabonis more money.

Truly remarkable how quickly and definitively the Sacramento Kings fucked up a pretty good thing. This is some of the most miserable basketball I've ever seen. If they're gonna get blown out every night, at least play the young guys.

Is the Kings talent really 20 points worse than the Grizzlies?
November 21, 2025 at 2:01 AM
Memphis has a lot of 2nd rounders on their team. It's almost like trading second picks for cash considerations or 1/2 season rentals is a bad idea.

Slamson has to go.
Just saying, it’s been all downhill since they got rid of Roy-Al. Let’s have him be our lottery rep and break the curse.

I'm confident the Kings will win tomorrow.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

CBS is the network that paid Trump $16m. CBS is the network owned by the Ellisons. CBS is the network that failed to push back in its 60 Minutes interview of Trump.

Of course, CBS is asking questions like this to House Democrats.
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

This is fucking gross.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

I once saw Rodney Rogers score 9 points in 8.8 seconds to send a game into overtime.

If the Kings can emulate that for an entire quarter, they can still win this game.
