From time to time in Los Angeles I meet people who were involved in the Nakatomi business. They always find this time of year difficult.

The Celtics’ collective pride — and the emergence of a promising supporting cast — have made tanking an impossibility. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/05/s...
Here’s one vote that the hot Celtics should still tank this season. But it’s evident they’re much too prideful to do so. - The Boston Globe
The most enjoyable plot twist of this season has been the emergence of assorted members of the supporting cast around the veteran stalwarts.

I remain baffled why Trumpism is covered without discussing race. Those "deeply researched most pro-Trump regions" are 80% plus white.
-In 2020, 85% of Trump's coalition was white.
-In 2024, that dropped to.....84% white.
Trumpism is a movement fueled by fear of a non-white America.

The Boston Celtics and the price of history
In Boston, past NBA glories can lift a franchise but also weigh a team down.

Stephanie McMurray’s “Masters of Small Worlds” — a brilliant study of why poor southern whites not only tolerated but embraced slaveholders who treated them with contempt — is important here. If the church and the press convince you that you and the oligarchs are one, you’ll happily shoot your foot.
This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Zelensky is a hero by any sensible measure. A leader inspiring his nation in the midst of an invasion by a powerful, repressive dictatorship. The fact that any American can think of him as the bad guy just demonstrates the triumph of tribalism over principle.
Republicans are lining up to denounce Zelensky because their base was seduced by a cranky old racist with a fondness for dictators. Just wild how the whims, prejudices, and weird obsessions of a senile 78-year-old have completely supplanted the party’s priorities — and reshuffled the world order.

Now, what you love here about Hubie Brown calling his last NBA game tomorrow is that he's still doing it at 91 years old. OK? He's teaching you the game of basketball. And so you say, you're learning the game. And he's done this at a high level for six decades, and for that, you have to thank him.
