Not sure I'd bet on Essengue being that high on the depth chart, at least from the start of the season. We'll see what Billy Donovan says once he gets him into preseason, but he really preferred that slow roll approach with Matas last season.
Chicago Bulls projected depth chart via the summer league broadcast.

got a nasty feeling that what happened here is that Noem has required her personal authorization for expenditures over $X, the tab for each these call center companies ticked over $X, and she didn’t bother approving

The VP dared to lecture European nations about free speech, while the President dismantles the very concept right in front of them.
It will take a generation for the US’s global reputation to recover.

Good morning, America.
Your President is in Europe. It is not possible to fully articulate how much this man embarrasses the US on a global stage.
“We have scum that’s in this group. CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum. They are bad people. They're sick.”

Should write a version of this talk for a purely game dev audience titled "why you want to have a historian working on your game even if you think you don't need one, and yes that means you"

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Musk is mad at his robot progeny again and has now taken to scolding it over something it wrote in response to Catturd.

From the Nitpicker's Guide for Deep Space Nine Trekkers, published in 1996. The reviewer didn't think the state of the United States in 2024 as shown in the episode Past Tense, Part 1 was believable. Sounds like @roberthewittwolfe.bsky.social and Ira Steven Behr were pretty close....

Q: Could your recent dustups with Newsom impact wildfire relief?
TRUMP: Sure, maybe. He shouldn't have fires like that. You clean the floor of your forest and you won't have any forest fires.

You guys don't get to make fun of North Korea anymore
Planes roared over D.C. on Saturday, tanks rolled along the National Mall, brass bands resounded and thousands of soldiers marched past cheering crowds, as the Army put on the largest show of military might in the capital in more than three decades. wapo.st/4dYFOck

Surely the lowest form of political discourse is when the person asking questions insists on yes or no answers to complicated issues. Yes or no? You can’t even answer yes or no.
