If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Kings getting cooked by Memphis early isn't even surprising anymore, unfortunately. Not even mad anymore, just disappointed.

There's not much in sports that I hate more than the "you can't call a foul on every play" line of thinking. No. Bullshit. If there's a foul, you call it. The tenor of the game should have zero bearing on what is it isn't a foul.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Maybe he's just being a good teammate. Didn't want to make everyone else feel bad, since none of them could score.

Really liking the defensive effort the Kings are playing with, keeping pressure on the ball handler, but this is around the point in the game where they just...stop. Let's see if they can keep it up.

There are lots of things that the bible sends mixed messages on - it's why theological debate exists.
But the one thing the christian bible is pretty consistent on is, "fuck them rich people."

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.
