if the Eagles look like shit in the first quarter and you need to change the channel out of disgust, consider disgustingly changing it to NBC at 830pm for the network debut of THE PAPER, the spin-off of The Office that I write for and am late to podcasts because of!

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism.

I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists.

I know where my allegiance lies.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

a warning for those saying "the NBA is back, now the games count" -- not for the Sixers they don't. in fact they never have.

Ranger simply has the biggest balls in Philadelphia sports history and a serious organization & a serious city would refuse to let him play anywhere else. He is also my biological son.

Alyssa Thomas is so perfectly cast as Underappreciated Star Who Never Gets A Ring but I need her to break through and get her title. Such an easy player to root for, she’s like if you gave a tank arms & legs and told it to shoot a basketball. That is exactly how an armored tank would shoot.

well at least they’ve already started formulating plans to make Grimes feel valued once they return from their sportswashing trip to the UAE, I feel deeply relieved
Reported over the weekend that the Sixers had already started formulating plans to make Quentin Grimes feel that the team still values him. That process has included high-ranking officials within the organization. When they get back from Abu Dhabi, it should be a top priority.

Qualifying Offer it is. Sixers choking any good vibe out of the season before it starts. Organizationally QWOP Guy
Restricted free agent Quentin Grimes is signing a one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer to return to the Philadelphia 76ers, agent David Bauman told ESPN. Grimes will now hold an inherent no-trade clause and enter a more flush market in unrestricted free agency next summer.

The smear campaign the owners are about to hit the players with over this WNBA lockout will be legendary, but I don't think many people are stupid enough to fall for it at this point

I used to run the Civil Rights department of the North American labor movement and I can tell you that this is one of the best public statements I’ve heard/seen from a labor leader about their working conditions in the midst of negotiations. Well done Phee! 👏🏾👏🏾 #wnba
Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview.

She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

a promising young guy is injured, they're being vague about Embiid, and a contract negotiation has gotten ugly -- you know what that means! August Two is over and the Halloween Sixers are about to haunt the next 6 months of your life.
