Trying to root for Denver but my body is rejecting it

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens

I’m sure Lakers fans aren’t watching but they should be sick that they voided that Mark Williams trade.

A lot of people said I wasn’t going to like watching Jalen Green and one half in they are all wrong.

if the world's richest man can afford to make a nazi salute but a 31 year old meterologist can't afford to criticize him for doing so, it suggests that the price of speech may in fact be slightly higher than "free"

No. 2022 was really fun arguably till game three vs the Mavs. Has been a slog since then.

This episode was pretty grim

Tough afternoon 😫

Current lose in semifinal, Chiefs drop their first game, and Suns lose on that nonsense in MN. Oof!

Sports Bluesky!

Quote Post with your favorite sports teams and introduce yourself…

NBA: Suns (since 1986)

NCAA: Kansas (since 2006, alumnus)
MLB: Royals (since 2001)
WNBA: Mercury
Soccer: Current/Sporting KC
NHL: none (feel entitled to Blues if I want)

We did have a great time, thanks! He got fist bumps from the team when they ran through the tunnel, made his day.

So it was not a masterpiece.

Tyus Jones signing my boy’s ball 😎

Got my son tickets to a Suns game for his 9th birthday. We live in Missouri so it’s Indy, Chi, Mem, OKC, or Dallas. Was down to Dallas last Friday (one point win, all of the big 3 played) and OKC…

I may have chosen poorly. Wish us a Booker masterpiece!

Pacific time is brutal

I have some regrets

I mean on the other hand it’s a nice chance to see Okogie get some run.

A well adjusted person would not stay up till midnight CST to watch the Suns on the second game of a back to back minus KD, Beal, and Allen against a team that just beat them.

Katie Ledecky is like Wilt’s stats with Russell’s rings.

This looks good/smart to me. I’d move PDX up b/c it seems they are finally doing a rebuild and Grant’s contract might still get positive value later (maybe C+?). I’d move Sac down for basically burning a valuable pick to lock in existing roster. I’d move Raps down too, lost FVV still no direction.

Also it’s hilarious, these are like “notes to self” I could be posting in this memos app lol. But maybe someday someone will dig up my old skeets to shame me. “All this for one like?!?! What was he thinking?”

I’m probably going to keep doing this dumb bit as long as I can but I’m for real excited about Wemby. Is probably the first younger-than-Booker star I don’t root against out of jealous pettiness, which is not a pattern about myself I had identified until I realized I was rooting for Wemby.

This is better. I will propose it as an alternative option at our next faculty meeting.

Wemby’s career averages in the NBA* are 17% on 3pa and 8% (!!!) from 2. I know we had high hopes, but at some point a player just is who he is.

*1 summer league game.

Jesus Kai Jones I was kidding around. Take it easy on the kid.

Northern most southern state or southern most northern state. Neither side wants to claim us.

Was literally just thinking “he must not consider Missouri in the mid west”
