Swear to god they started swallowing the whistle immediately after you posted this lol

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy

Probably poor phrasing but my point was if the trade gets us to a top 10 team, idk how much to care about shedding FRPs in the 20-30 range when those guys are increasingly becoming liabilities. Depending on where the 2nds you mentioned came from they're probably more valuable than our own 1sts

It's tough to judge because for so long first round picks have been the trade asset equivalent of gold but in the past year or two we've seen multiple former first round players just get salary dumped before their rookie contract was even up

I mean I wrote it as an offhand joke but it probably isn't far off from an explanation. This simply isn't the climate where a billionaire will ever be held to account for criminal activity. Honestly seems like we'd be lucky if Pablo isn't ruined just for bringing it to light

Boy if that isn't a slogan for this decade idk what is

Allegedly one of the bullets was engraved with the password to Hunter Bidens laptop

Right, that's why POTUS is sending debate teams to Chicago, LA, etc.

No one has to comment on his death, especially if having nice things to say is a priority and you can't think of anything nice to say; but saying nothing is also an appropriate option

Whatever you think the consequences of Republicans attacking every personal liberty under the sun should be, nothing is apparently as influential over average folks as when 4 billionaires buy up the entire news ecosystem to tell them what to think. RIP America

Some very clumsy "don't worry about the woman youre about to learn Giuliani was with before his accident" spin here but what I think is most telling is that apparently his next of kin contacted is his business partner rather than, ya know, anyone who cares about Giuliani for non-financial reasons

New plan: we get Obama to demand the death certificate

1) they will 100% use this to overturn Texas v Johnson

2) once they do, prosecution of 'anti-American sentiment' will be defined along party lines ("any criticism of this admin is anti-american")

3) If by some miracle SCOTUS doesnt play ball they will illegally neuter the court

People are clowning on it but these are the dangerous places ICE must infiltrate and traverse

Capitalist model: Return of phrenology

Socialist model: Does not have a plan to repopularize phrenology

Really tipping their hand by lumping "increased police funding" and "tough on crime" as somehow part of a capitalist economic philosophy rather than a necessity of the fascism they're actually intending to promote

Idk how I'd survive the off season without folks like you putting out content. Appreciate everything you do

I feel like it's not wholly uncommon for folks to think they'll try some of the most destructive substances when they're at a point in life that there's not much life left to ruin, and while I don't support the fact that's clearly happening in the WH, I have to imagine it will be educational

The fun part about the current presidency is finding the midpoint between "how much amphetamine is he on" and "how much amphetamine could I take at that age as someone who hasn't been taking them me entire life in order to function" so as to best gauge the danger of my late life plans

We need to know what this young core could accomplish if fully healthy and if it's worth betting on that as is or if we need to tweak and rework the current constellation of skillsets

What's the formula going forward?

We didn't really find our stride last year until Ivey got injured and Ausar came back and while I don't think thats a knock on Ivey, it underscores that we still haven't seen evidence of a long term vision for all our pieces especially after losing THJ/Beasley

Starting to wonder if the blatantly corrupt former democrat mayor might possibly be compromised by the also blatantly corrupt current republican presidential administration who have a personal investment in 1) how NYC is run and 2) how corrupt politicians are treated post-conviction

Just curious for my own understanding: did they have to renew Jenkins or Smith as 2-way guys or does that more or less continue in perpetuity unless either party opts out?

My dog just recently made it to his 14th year and his 4th year after a cancer diagnosis and amputation. Also the native gardens my wife has been slaving over for 3 years have finally started taking root and behaving somewhat self-sufficiently despite his best efforts

The way this image faded from Pistons discourse when we traded Bruce was honestly one of the most upsetting consequences of the trade

Alternatively, maybe one of the teams doing a mini tank this year (MIL, BOS, IND) take a chance at trading for him on the off chance they can flip him for more after a season of maximum exposure though that feels the less likely possibility

I wouldn't bet on him having much of a market but if there's a team that takes a chance on him it'll probably be because they're top heavy with contracts and are banking on getting disproportionate value for his expected salary so probably someone like GS, CLE, maybe NY

Gotta have a tighter handle imo. I don't know that it will directly raise his stock but I don't see him getting enough PT to draw any trade interest unless he can reliably bring the ball up and initiate the offense

It was definitely like 10 for Orlando SL, but I thought Vegas was a lot more like regular season rules

You're probably right but I hope not. He has enough holes in his game at the NBA level that I'd like to see a full dominant SL from him drilling 3s and play making for others
