I am a crumpled ball of tinfoil that never stops unfolding.

Just a crazy side thought: I’m fifty-one and even I wasn’t living album by album for my classic rock education.

I have a business in a red area and I produce a lot of social media content to the degree that people recognize me at Costco. And so many of my customers are in the cult. I feel so selfish putting business interests in front of just saying something, but would it even help...

My cat just doesn’t understand sarcasm.

It really appears that Finch will give the backup point job to Bones.

You could see him thinking about upping his creatine dose when Valencunis was tossing him around like a stick.

ohhhh shit

So he recieves the ball twentiy-six-feet from the basket (in Gobert-feet), dribbles smoothly WITH HIS LEFT HAND past Nikola Jokic and nails a six foot hook shot WITH HIS LEFT HAND. Fuck me. We have not seen this before.

Preseason hot take #1: By December we will experience 20% less anxiety when Rudy recieves the ball between three and ten feet from the basket, as compared to his previous years in MN. He's that much smoother.

Not a bad way to spend the evening, watching our bench guys beat the Denver starters.

I think that Bones will be the second point guard. Finch will not mess around.

Please everyone skip the "just preseason" disclaimer. Let's have fun and overreact and don't hedge it.

BACK

Preseason means everything. Rudy Gobert has transformed himself into an offensive juggernaut. Bones Hyland will make the All Star team. Jaden McDaniels will lead the league in made threes.

What an experience it would be for him if gets to guard Jokic.

It would be so cool if Beringer got a chance to guard Jokic a possession or two in this game. #timberwolves

A free trial of League Pass via Amazon will also do the trick, I believe. If you sign up for the full year it says “after a seven day free trial.”

Please sue. This is an outrageous miscarriage of justice and the court system is our only dimming hope.

Sometimes my wife makes food that is so good that it makes me regret that he will never taste it.

I was at a hostel in Vancouver hanging with a Canadian guy. He suggested a vending machine cookie and I said "no, man, you know how many chemicals they put in those things?" and he said "no, man, this is Canada!" So we got one and read the ingredients and it was all just normal stuff like flour.

They are a bunch of sickos. Very, very, polite sickos.

My hot takes:

Joan Beringer gets real minutes while Rudy is out with injury, plays shockingly well. Becomes the bench five.

Donte grows increasingly discontent, tries too hard, fans grumble.

Jaylen Clark plays more minutes than TJ.

Finch regularly chooses No Point Guard over Rob Point Guard.

This is a lot like me playing chess. Never, ever play chess against me unless you bring a book.

I have to say Donte seemed the least believable, maybe not great vibes interview. I think he feels threatened and not as much a part of the group as maybe some of the others. Hopefully he is telling the truth about his injury. I feel for the guy and worry he might feel like an outcast this season.

Shit. bad sign.

Frightening. All villains should quake, verily, quake, with fear of this man. Creative genius focused into a laser lane. Reminds me of Lindon, protagonist of the Unsouled series by Will Wight. Extremely polite, brutally badass.

I get those goosebumps every time.

I am obsessed with this guy on Instagram who makes ice cream using different kinds of trees, then he also makes a spoon and bowl out of the same kind of wood, and the whole time he teaches us about that specific kind of tree?? It’s so cool??

They're gonna crush it.

yeah, it's especially hard to see how so many people don't realize or care what is happening.
