Can’t say enough encouraging things about local radio and local news coverage in LA last couple days. These are places that have been financially gutted outside of reporters’ control. Those reporters are out here with a 24/7 feed explaining and calmly assessing and getting people information.

It’s so eerie watching USC play in the middle of a Maryland snow globe knowing they’re going home to a city on fire. I can’t imagine trying to keep my head in a game with an undefeated team right now.

Maryland/Rutgers vs Maryland/USC. Support your local teams regardless of their opponents, y’all. Fan communities are fun. Knowing lore no one else knows cuz you were there is fun. Watching a team grow over time is fun.

One of the things that isn’t mentioned enough when we compliment @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social and their content strategy is how, before a single camera was on them, the players were bought in because this is a worker cooperative and the leagues’ success means their success.

Vivek continuing the Kings tradition of ownership blaming a coach for the mid roster they built performing at about the level a rational person would expect it to perform, rather than investing in roster improvements.

We coulda just had a holiday Beyoncé livestream without an NFL game and saved Netflix a lot of money. The NBA put out a far better sports entertainment product.

NBA unveils its new All-Star Game format.
Wrote it recently: I'm totally on board with this! The old ASG needed to be put out of its misery. This holds promise.

I can’t imagine what all these close game heartbreaks does to one’s psyche, but one of the things that impresses me about this year’s Kings is that they’ve stopped doing the young team thing where a bad run means a bad game. #SacramentoKings

This is meme-worthy for so many contexts.

I appreciate that the #Spurs have reasonable ticket prices and thus the folks I see on the fan cam look like the fanbase. It bothers me when a team is in a diverse city but the arena attendees aren’t diverse because some populations are priced out.

Anyone have eyes on the manifesto? When someone shot up my university because sorority girls wouldn’t sleep with him, his manifesto was everywhere within 24 hrs. Everyone is trying to piece together intention with old social posts, it would be useful for the discourse to know what he actually said.

Is there a rule that we can’t put games away and they all must go down to the wire? I am tired #SacramentoKings.

The existence of Trae Crowder doesn’t compute because of the existence of Jae Crowder. The names are too similar and the personas too different. #NBASky

Anyone watched this Lisa Frank documentary series yet? Is it juicy or not worth 4 hours of my time?

It’s almost like LABOR IS IMPORTANT.
If you're a Spotify user who is finding the microgenre & geodata of your annual "Wrapped" to be less substantial than usual, there's a reason why.
A year ago, Spotify laid off most of its employees who worked on genre classification, including folks like data alchemist @glennmcdonald.bsky.social.

Thinking a lot about how the ratings decline is going to impact the next round of NBA collective bargaining in 2030. Much like Hollywood strikes, I think we’ll see talent asked to accommodate the league making a shortsighted bet on media deals with a bunch of disconnected streaming platforms.

I love when people post their Spotify Wrapped with great pride and I haven’t heard of a single artist on their list. Big “I’m happy that you’re happy” energy over here.

I still don’t fully get how the NBA Cup works, I could invest energy in figuring it out but I don’t really care that I don’t get it as long as they’re playing hard and the courts and jerseys give us something to talk about.

The WNBA with increasing numbers of off-season staff is increasingly providing off season entertainment. Those schedule releases were all literal movies. The story telling grounded in local lore and place had me searching out videos from teams that aren’t my own.

I’m not one to be nostalgic for past eras, but if it was 1978 and there wasn’t a three point line the Kings would be a great team.
