A chart of nba leaders showing Jokic leading the league with 12.6 rebounds per game (next 4 have 11.8, 11.5, 11.5, 11.2). It also shows Jokic leading the league with 10.5 assists per game (next 4 have 9.8, 8.6, 8.1, and 7.9)

Kinda feels like you shouldn't be an outlier leader in both rebounds and assists. (granted, he's only managing a pedestrian 6th in scoring)

also my pick

lol i thought it was a bit

when i was in northern-ish England I was amazed how much racism there was about Scottish people. everybody trying to warn us about the Scots before we went north

frr the Scots were great. (unlike many of their northern English brethren, tbh)

also, turned in their weapons to whom?

i think it's basically "your post made me feel bad about the world, so I'm mad at you. that it's clearly correct makes it worse, not better"

which... idk man at that point staying off bluesky is probably a better choice for them

i watched tv like a normal person. my trick? i live in a very rural place - there is only one option

iirc the rest are mostly breweries

“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program. “Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran. “Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. “I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. “The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort. “I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran.

I wonder how much of this is just that it already happened (or at least started happening). realpolitik kicks in faster when it feels like a fait accompli

which tbc it isn't, not really, but it is too late to stop aggressive war and decapitation. which cannot - but apparently will - be allowed

Tbh I am disconcerted by this meeting so far. The US’s violation of the charter is red letter, blazing, clear as day. Many of the US’s allies are mentioning it in passing. I suspect they wont like what follows from signaling they are less committed to the UN charter than they are to countering Iran

holy shit

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war.

Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East.

No war with Iran.

My unsolicited advice to big foreign policy mooseheads who’re going to be in the big outlets is to emphasize illegitimacy, not procedure. I realize I’m just one hysterical woman dry heaving at 4am and not a former ambassador but if you don’t reject the premise of bad acts, you risk normalizing them

wait why is that a thing? why would that ever be a thing?

not even awareness, let alone consent

per nyt "Senator Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, was not notified of the strikes in advance, his spokesman said."

well yeah, who wants to be president without the international proscription against targeting heads-of-state?

David E. Sanger Feb. 28, 2026, 3:29 a.m. ET Trump’s call for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard forces to surrender, with the promise of complete immunity, added a particularly unusual element to the speech. Because the campaign appears to be largely an air operation, there is no one for them to surrender to, no one to take them prisoner or to implement Trump’s offer of “total immunity.” It may have simply been intended to sow doubt in the ranks if they believed the government was going to collapse.

is it possible hegseth didn't know? like that's not possible right?

and also the BSA and also ivies for some reason? like seriously what the fuck, was he just completely uninvolved in all this?

yeah kinda feel like if the goal was for this regime to fall, one might have been better off waiting

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

fucking hell

You're right, I was trying to take your job, that's my fault 🤦🏻‍♂️. This was especially callous given recent news from our Department of War 🤺

Going forward, I am confident that I will always be 💯 % right when I'm confident! 🦾

they are basically the '99 Rams and I can't really wrap my brain around it

what's with everybody (not you) being so confidently wrong in this thread?

lol

i think locking the cockpit door is legit. the rest of it tho

a bluesky collapsed thread, from Beijing Palmer QPing jamelle: BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social 3h I think I can safely say that my support of trans rights is pretty fucking clear from my posting, and yet I'm on a good dozen or more clearsky lists as a transphobe for arguing with dumbasses about issues that have nothing to do with trans rights. jamelle @jamellebouie.net 4h have seen claims as well that i systematically block trans people and lefties, and that i am at the NYT out of a commitment to white supremacy .... .... BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.soc... 8m Every elf reacts to being told their gods are actually immortal monsters by immediately accepting that as truth and apparently being unbothered by it.

An enjoyable "wtf is going on in there" thread collapse

The Columnist I perceive myself as being someone who takes the agency of individual people very seriously, and think that It’s important to remind ourselves, continuously, that our choices actually do matt…

i've always wondered what the job of newspaper columnist is like, so, for this month's WORK IS FOUR LETTERS, i decided to go ask a newspaper columnist about it. @jamellebouie.net was kind enough to make time to talk to me about his work, and i'm really pleased to share it with you.
