Amazing piece. US tinted glasses, Japan has a been ideal ally and perfect for a shakedown. My guess is an unfavourable deal for Japan will send a signal where others will be more hesitant to negotiate.

“Actually US has done bad things before”

and

“You didn’t want people to vote for Kamala? Now enjoy Trump kidnapping random foreign university students”

Keep feeding each other

India could really have 8% consistent growth for the Trump years if Modi stops protecting base (6 oligarchs and small biz hitlers) from foreign competition under guise of import substitution.

He can work out really well. Injury is my only worry with him.

What’s the worst decisions by him that you can’t clearly attribute to LeBron or ownership being cheap?

Still kind of crazy markets haven’t fully understood the consequences of this. Between the tariffs and potentially delaying/stopping payments, it could be nuclear for the economy.

That will be much easier.

I watched the Royal Rumble. I was all ready to talk about it. Probably the most unexpected result. Now it’s out of my mind because of the Luka trade.

Yelling at Embiid to stop panting is the biggest difference he has made

Somebody might try to get him for a lower price and the fact this is out, meaning he must be creating a lot of ruckus to get out

A good Indian must hate all 3

1) Racist against Indians
2) Indian diaspora
3) Indians in India

Pat Riley fuming is such a good feeling to think about

I keep saying what’s missing from this site is main characters and crazy randos. We need the “I’m unsympathetic an alligator ate your child because of white privilege” before this site has the same juice as twitter.

Every team he has been on decided not to pay him. That’s how he ended up in Miami. Miami was issue free till they paid him, even when they didn’t bring him help.

Grizzlies want to shed salary for the next season for Jaren Jackson extension. The trade for Jimmy, maximizes this window while allowing them to send salary that won’t be part of next season.

Heat keep doing this to their best players. Butler situation isn’t unique. Time will heal all wounds and everyone will remember those playoff runs.

It’s a very normal reaction. When you know that team isn’t going to give you a new deal and just wants to sign you for a few months.

No exaggeration but there are prisons around the world more lenient and less invasive than the premier institutions in India.

Genuinely any country where you read about “democratic backsliding” this is the main cause. People overestimate how much arresting dissenting journalists affects other journalists ability to tell the truth and underrate how much denial of access makes them desperate.

Also good to remember every major dem donor hated her and Dems are only going to listen to donor and their consultants more after this election.

Honestly felt like Heat were the best team in the playoffs both in 2020 & 2022. 2020 more winnable if Bam and Dragic are healthy. 2022 they would have matched up better against Warriors than Celtics.

Irrespective of your politics if you view someone labelled as a “terrorist” as peak evil, you’re going to have a really bad understanding of any conflict. You’re the most gullible to the cheapest kind of propaganda.

The guy ordering a Starbucks just before killing him is so funny to me

Heard 4 Lakers podcasts today. My god, it feels to listen to all of them the day they lose.

A lot of people are imagining that everyone celebrating the death of health insurance CEO is some lefty. But it’s every single one of their actual customers

Oh yeah it should have been in the ring. I think they tried to recreate the stadium thing that Cody and Roman did

What didn’t you like?

Yes, twitter before Musk was that. You need enough randos and enough annoying hateful people. Musk changed that to Hiterite racism,low quality Facebook videos and bible camp self help.

He was kind of funny before he went full anti woke unsuccessfully
