My set went waffles, chocolate, what's the deal with standard NBA metrics that underrate the impact of non-traditional wings like Toumani Camara, King Leopold II on OK Cupid, and then I pulled a muscle doing my "Jean-Claude Van Damme on Dancing With The Stars" bit and couldn't get to Ajay.

I did a show tonight where the audience was mostly Belgian MBA students and I admit it was mistake to talk about Toumani Camara as much as I did.

They hope sports helps you forget Alex Pretti. Make them abolish ICE instead.
An essay on slave patrol resistance, anarchist calisthenics, the NBA trying to return to normal via a Warriors and Wolves game, and ICE abolition.
For my latest piece, I spent the weekend writing about sports' response to the killing of Alex Pretti, slave patrol resistance in 1850s Boston, anarchist calisthenics, and overcoming nihilism to ensure we abolish ICE.

Weird that hiring away a few checked-out Tory alcoholics from British dailies and emphasizing op eds about Why Your Boss Deserves A Tax Cut didn't deliver better results but what can you do? What, at the end of the day, can you do?

Would we be better off as a country if Larry Ellison had been able to buy the Warriors in 2010 and focused on ruining the NBA instead of the USA?
