If I am the Rockets' FO, I'm keeping an eye on Sixers' Adem Bona, a 2025 version of Ben Wallace, to bring him to Houston in the near future to play him next to Alpi, who is kinda a 2025 version of Rasheed Wallace. Just saying... #Rockets

Astros have taken a deep dive recently. Texans are hopeless. Dear Rockets, Houston needs you come the start of the season. Please stay healthy and make this great city (especially my students) happy and proud :)

Churchill would have Scotch and soda as lunch, champagne as dinner before having brandy and more Scotch, while staying at the White House during WWIi. A man who was loath to be accused of being a teetotaler, he was apparently.

Btw, Texans suck. Astros swept by the Mariners. Rockets lost FVV to injury. The city of Houston definitely needs one of these to be installed on both the west and east sides of I-10 👇

Ramadan Mahya lights of Selimiye Mosque in Nicosia in Cyprus late 1950s.
This photo has been used (of course cropping the writing underneath) often by Islamist social media accounts to accuse 1940s İnönü presidency of Turkey as being anti-Islamist.
