Not naming names, but there are at least 4 people in my family that are ranked below Joel Embiid on my list of who I save from the fire in what order.

An overlooked part of that insane Joel Embiid game was that he did it in front of Brett Brown, who is part of the Spurs organization.

Was cool to see Brett be one of the first people to come over and congratulate Joel after the game. #Sixers

Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo are both hinting that they’re open to playing elsewhere.

That speaks to the challenges of building around a superstar in today’s #NBA.

Easy to distract nba twitter by just saying something like “Is Joel Embiid a top 10 center of all time?” So that should work

At Y! Sports: After learning that the James Harden deal happened in the middle of the night on Halloween (truly, scary hours) I wrote about why the 76ers made *this* deal at *this* time, and what it says about what's begun to coalesce around Joel Embiid and, especially, Tyrese Maxey: yhoo.it/45UCh9v
How Tyrese Maxey’s hot start might have been the impetus for the James Harden trade
Maxey has stepped to the forefront in Harden’s absence, posting a career-high usage rate and averaging 30.3 points and 6.3 assists per game while leading the Sixers in touches per game and time of p...

Every time I watch this dude I see five minutes of getting pickpocketed in the backcourt, missing dunks, and throwing the ball to no one, and the announcers go "Embiid so far 33 points 10 rebounds 5 blocks and he reached a settlement over Transdnestria that averts bloodshed"

Porzingis has become very good at that post-up rip move against smaller defenders who feels like their only chance is to reach. Has drawn fouls on such a high percentage of his post-ups. Same move Embiid uses to grift.

Still wild that the best 4 players in the NBA right now aren't Americans: Embiid, Jokic, Giannis and Luka. And two of them are white guys!

My favorite Churchill quote:

"When the night is darkest, it is the duty of those who know the dawn is coming to rouse their fellows and lift their heads so that they might see the bright light of that next splendid morn.

And Ron Desantis is a little bitch."

End of the day, I have no hope for positive outcomes of any sort from those two. What I AM hoping for is an enduring humiliation that eats at DeSantis for the remainder of his days. An inescapable helplessness of having everything he destroyed in his quest for power be for naught.

After all of this, DeSantis endorsed Trump. For a party that is routinely obsessed by gender roles and performative masculinity, Republican electeds really are a bunch of chickenshits www.nytimes.com/2024/01/22/u...

With every DeSantis or Stefanik that enters my consciousness, I become more and more convinced that the Ivies are running a parallel remedial program for right-wingers. A parade of noxious but credentialed mediocrities who aren't even good at bullshitting.

Ron DeSantis dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Donald Trump. He explained that a DeSantis endorsement might just be the thing to make Donald Trump lose.

"DeSantis committed an act of heresy by launching his campaign."- @georgelakoff.bsky.social and @gilduran.bsky.social's FrameLab

Ron's problem was always that he was betraying the Strict Daddy. His campaign itself was an assertion that Trump actually lost in 2020.

"I'm sorry, sir. You're not eligible to apply for unemployment."

"Are you sure?"

"You're still the Governor of Florida for three more years, Mr. DeSantis."

I’ve a few postmortems on DeSantis 2024 now that point out how the bigoted anti-trans panic he banked on didn’t work, which is sorta true. But also, you all saw that poll of GOP primary voters, right? They want to erase trans people! Trump hasn’t made it central to his campaign, but he’s on board!

Here’s another post-DeSantis analysis that I think is pretty good. It also suggests again that Corey Robin didn’t quite get things right in his book The Reactionary Mind when he argued that the strength of the right rises and falls with the strength of the left. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...
