Horrible reffing in Dubs v Spurs, Wemby gets hit a ton with no calls, lots of Warrior moving pics. Kornet got fouled on a bunch of lobs too.
But the Spurs, including Wemby, get lost off ball super easy. Warriors just moved & relocated constantly. Fox is still a sieve on the perimeter.

Metro Transit says it will patrol nearly every light-rail train trip — especially during rush hours and late at night — starting this week, in a bid to assure riders the service is safe.
Metro Transit boosts uniformed security presence on light-rail trains
The Twin Cities transit agency has struggled with ridership since the pandemic and safety issues, real or perceived, have proven to be a hurdle in drawing people back to public transit.

I get out of bed, but I don't do anything.
Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning.
And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

Warriors/Thunder - There was a 5 minute stretch in the first quarter where I think the Dubs were going to make a game of it...
And that's about the best you're going to be able to do against them in the regular season.

The wrong analogy... we're the frog in the water and the temp just went from 230-degrees to 240-degrees.
This latest Epstein thing feels like a nothing burger compared to what we have reasonable suspicion to believe is the whole story but Erin just said “surely one of these grains of rice will eventually tip the scale”

95% of the post-Luka trade discourse was that Nico has to be fired because YOU CAN NEVER TRADE LUKA! That’s silly.
You can’t trade Luka for a no-pick-haul centered on an aging oft injured superstar.
The rationale for trading Luka was fine, proven correct I’d argue, but the return was abysmal.

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out
Both of them took as a given that this was a fact in a private email

In BF Skinner's experiments, rats would be given opiods if they hit a lever. Skinner discovered that a lever that dispensed the opiods reliably would get the rats to take as much as they wanted then stop, but a lever that irregularly and unreliably dispensed the drugs would get them to overdose.
This is a side note but something I find striking is how little engagement these influencers get compared to pre-Elon twitter, but it doesn’t seem to register with them

Not watching any sportsball contest that has Arabic Numerals involved. Sorry, this is America.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."
