One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

John Cornyn slavishly obeyed Trump and is going to lose his primary anyway. To a felon.

It is remarkable what two easy wins over teams deliberately trying to lose will do to encourage a fanbase that was apoplectic just a few days earlier after the loss to the Knicks.

It seems to me that the entire structure of our government is now antiquated and must be redesigned. It is dependent upon institutional loyalty being stronger than partisan loyalty and that no longer exists. Our politics work much better in a parliamentary system.

By how much does each Rocket impact the team's offense and defense when he's on the court versus off the court?

⬆️Positive impact on defense while on court
➡️Positive impact on offense while on court

Which Rockets are generating the most value on a per-minute basis?

⬆️ Higher Daily Plus-Minus
⬅️ Fewer Minutes

Tari and Steven Adams still the most impactful moment by moment while KD clears everyone by a large margin in total impact.

It will take many, many years to complete all of this construction and traffic will be just as bad as it was before the projects even started.
They rebuilt the I-69/I-610 interchange for four years and it made zero difference to traffic flow.

You cannot solve traffic problems with more highways.

That quarter may be just about as good as the Rockets can play.

My suggestion for the #Rockets is that they start making some shots.

He is referring to Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh?

the glorious constitutional principle of "the president can't fuck with Supreme Court justices' investment portfolios" stands strong

Leavitt confirms that Trump personally posted the racist Obama video.

- Enhanced geothermal energy that provides 24x7 inexhaustible electricity
- Direct Air Capture that actually pulls carbon out of the atmosphere
- Biotech that encourages the pancreas to resume insulin production
- mRNA-based cure for cancer

Not just Ime; the players also. If some of them haven't been traded by next season. What if Sengun has another series with a 49% true shooting percentage? What if Amen gets exposed like he did against SAS?

What are the standards for the Rockets in the playoffs this year?

Success: make it to the West Finals

Acceptable: Lose in 6/7 games in the second round

Total failure: Lose in the first round of non competitive in the 2nd round.

Lyndon Johnson was so right long ago.

Canadians would dominate and no one wants to enable them.

From the rockets community on Reddit: All KD twitter burner chat leaks Explore this post and more from the rockets community

It came up over the weekend that KD was allegedly using a burner account to talk trash about teammates - past and present.
We don't know if this is real or not. He hasn't said anything about it.

I assume that the #Rockets will have a practice and media availability tomorrow.

Will the team have any statement on the KD files at that time? Will our intrepid local media members push for clear answers from Durant?

Apparently, the restaurant we were trying to go to is inside a 'no-go' area of Austin for Waymo. Why they accepted the Uber request to take us there is a question I am unable to answer.

Got my first opportunity to take a Waymo Uber this weekend in Austin. It kept driving in circles rather than where we wanted to go. Had to bail out and find a human driver.

For younger folks on here who may not have ever seen this classic.

Always knew he was smart.

Liked your poke at Jackson today when he brought up KD's turnovers not being so important. 🤣

Such a suck-up! 🤣

I'm not sure which point you mean? Loperfido playing LF solves the infield problem?

Yeah, I understood. Maybe he meant ‘in the majors’.
Unless they find a good trade, playing him there maximizes the roster they have, imo.

So, getting injured one time eight years ago in the minor leagues is the reason he shouldn't play in the outfield ever again? Can't say I agree with that.

No, he's not great out there. But left field defense, especially at Daikin, just doesn't matter that much. The value of Paredes' bat is higher.

If Dana Brown can trade Paredes for a significant upgrade in the outfield then that would work as well. But until then, stop being so dogmatic about Yordan at DH and put out your best lineup.

Pena - SS
Paredes - DH
Alvarez - LF
Walker - 1B
Altuve - 2B
Correa - 3B
Diaz - C
Smith - RF
Meyers - CF
