Chet Holmgren has DOGE hair

I love that these AI slobs are so lacking imagination that even in the ideal future they're trying to present people are still printing birthday party invitations, which hasn't been necessary since the popularization of the smart phone

How it started // how it's going

Picking up the Darko option makes a lot of sense, he's been very good at the specific things Nurse failed at - player development and offensive cohesion

Whether he can turn this into a winning team is still unclear but he's earned the chance to try

I'm not morally opposed tanking and don't care if teams do it but you'll never convince me that fans rooting for failure or being mad when their team does well is anything but sucker shit

Really curious about what Trump thinks happens in an economy that doesn't make anything, everything imported is more expensive and nobody has any disposable income because they don't have jobs and/or the cost of essentials like healthcare have skyrocketed

The more I look at the on/off and wowy data the more convinced I am that the Raptors have the foundation of a good team already in place

A handful of good players, another handful of interesting prospects and RJ Barrett, who will hopefully be on another team next season

This is an insane takeaway from an election where an extremist beat a centrist

Aviation expert here. The problem is that they landed the plane upside down. Generally you want to avoid that.

It’s also like - guess what, they’re trying to talk about the closest-to-reasonable part of whatever hate thing they want as a rhetorical tactical to GET you to help make them sound reasonable. You’re just a dupe!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services.

The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

This has always been the problem with people like Taibbi - even if the criticisms they present are somewhat valid they never offer solutions so in reality they're just advocates for a world where no information is ever validated, which is just censorship via noise

One feature of the Nazi conquest of France was the astonishing defections among the intelligentsia, including some of the left-wing political intelligentsia. The intelligentsia are the people who squeal loudest against Fascism, and yet a respectable proportion of them collapse into defeatism when the pinch comes. They are far-sighted enough to see the odds against them, and moreover they can be bribed—for it is evident that the Nazis think it worth while to bribe the intellectuals.

Was reading George Orwell on the Spanish civil war last night and this part stuck out.

I get it from Masai's perspective - basically free talent because all it's costing you is another team's first and some players you were looking to move anyway

It's just that if the options are bringing in a weak defending ball stopper or continuing as you were I'd take the latter. There's no rush

I get making a move for A player just not this one, especially not when you have to re-sign him immediately

There's nothing in Ingram's past that suggests he's a fit and he's at that age where dramatic shifts in any direction are rare, he likely is what he is

These are the sort of text exchanges I have with my 20-year-old son.

It's been a long time since I haven't wanted a player as much as I don't want Ingram

what I like about trade reporting is how it is done across 47 indecipherable posts worth of broken english

If you’re entertaining any thoughts about it being “mean” to expose Elon’s little rats, I need you to understand that these fascist rodents are the kind of people who would laugh as they watched you die.

A massive, massive sports betting scandal is like the sports equivalent of global warming in that ppl can see it coming a mile away and know it has potential to do irrevocable harm to its host and yet the powers that be have decided to look the other way because there's too much money to be made rn.

beginning to wonder if you could get away with beating up a legacy media reporter on the street by writing "racist" on your face and knuckles and relying on them to be unable to identify you

"Obviously it is not standard to have aircraft collide. I want to be clear on that." -- Sean Duffy, our new secretary of transportation in the new awful administration.

Plane Crash in Washington live update appears over a headline reading “Truml fires heads of TSA, Coast Guard and gutd key aviation safety advisory committee.

Hell of a live update above the headline ☹️

This is the only thing giving me hope but it sucks that it requires Trump turning America into a barely livable hellscape in record time(which he's somehow ahead of schedule on?) so that we can just point south and that's what Pierre wants and it sucks ass

This is the big problem - Pierre sucks and will ruin the country but nobody can produce an alternative so he's gonna win

I decided to see what the Ontario libs were up to and the first 4 sound bites I could find were all "Ford bad don't vote Ford"

Motherfucker we know this tell us what you're going to do that's different. What is your plan

Not calling it what it actually is normalizes it
