Am I allowed to say that watching OKC play absolutely bores the shit out of me.

How can a group of young guys be so swagless in their game?

Harvard & any other biz or institution that can afford it has to fight Trump. Make him fight a never ending war on multiple fronts

The excuse that Harvard can’t just go to their 50 billion dollar endowment like a piggy bank is horseshit. Why else do you have billions laying around? TIMES LIKE THIS

i really loved @zachmack.bsky.social's podcast about the drastic lengths he went to to ween his dad off conspiracy theories, and i'm so glad Josiah got to chat with him about the experience.

It’s amazing that game was even close when you look at what OKC’s main guys did vs the T’Wolves main guys

SGA: 40 PTS, 9 REB, 10 AST
Jalen Williams: 34 PTS
Chet: 21 PTS

Edwards: 16 points
Randle: 5 points
Gobert: 13 points

95 to 34

Extremely funny for ESPN to play a diddy beat during the game despite the trial happening RN

Lounges and lounge access at airports is totally ridiculous. Just make airports nice for everyone and we don’t all have to wait in line with fancy credit cards for no reason

My big club night in Berlin was so sick. Hit up 3 spots

Club 1: Bouncer asks “1st time?”, then “why are you alone?” Then steps aside “sorry not tonight”

Club 2: Longest line I’ve ever seen

Club 3: *bouncers just shakes his head no

Collectively it’s far and away the best story in the canon
