Kahless tells us one of the most important things we must decide is what to do with the time given to us. Fill your time with kindness, truth and integrity. Keep hope and faith in yourself and others, no matter the darkness. Do this and like the tide, honor will lift us all.

i stayed up till 5am local time to try and make sense of the craziest nba trade of my lifetime—-for @guardian:

www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...
The Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis trade is shocking, franchise-altering and very, very odd
Two of the best players in the NBA are reportedly swapping teams. The Mavericks could benefit this year but the Lakers look winners in the long-term

New from me: Two influencers make very similar content promoting Amazon products. They dress the same. They buy the same stuff. They even have a similar tattoo.

Now one is suing the other, claiming her rival won't stop copying her. But who influenced whom? www.theverge.com/2024/11/26/2...

I wrote a silly piece about this 2 playoffs ago and it has somehow gotten worse. www.basketballnews.com/stories/the-...

I think social media and ESPN created this monster together.

In my latest newsletter I wrote: "Concern over the existence and safety of trans people in public life had absolutely no impact on this election, and anyone saying otherwise is an asshole."

I wanted to share a response I received (CW: anti-trans rhetoric) and how I replied. Zero tolerance policy.

Okay, I got some thoughts on this. For starters, the NBA product is not broken the NBA media product is broken and I believe ESPN broke it. Over the years they have conditioned the fans to prioritize transactions and silly debates over the games themselves.

Kahless tells us to never let a victory get to your head, nor a loss to your heart. A true warrior celebrates victory and laments defeat, but succumbs to neither hubris nor dejection. Let honor stiffen your backbone against both.

I went to the South Bay Transit Summit last weekend with my daughter. She was able to speak to the transit planner who schedules the bus she takes to school ♥️

Kahless tells us there is no honor in souring someone's happiness, if they are causing no harm. Nor should you attempt to turn others away from something that brings them joy simply because it does not do so for you. Revel that they have found their joy, and go find your own.

If you think pedestrians/cyclists don't particularly like drivers, wait til you meet other drivers. Drivers are probably the most anti-driver people out there.

These garbage companies created 1000 problems with generative "A.I.," then created "checker" tools that just create more problems, all of them wasting people's time and degrading the quality of people's thinking and writing. It's immoral, garbage tech and all of us should say NO to it all the time.

@kevinmkruse.bsky.social You were right. C-SPAN is the way to watch the DNC.

I’m an MSNBC fan but I missed SO MUCH good DNC coverage watching them. When I watched recording on C-SPAN this morning, that’s all it took.

Lesson learned. Watch DNC on C-SPAN, folks.
