PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

Yeah, Coby White step-back. And then a few possessions later the Jaylen drive that went all the way around the rim, stopped on it, and then fell out.

The moment in Q3 that Kon 3PT went straight up off the back rim and in and then the next possession Derrick had his corner 3PT go around the rim and out and I knew it wasn't happening

"The Gahden? Yeah, I'll be Gahden my local Dunkies 24-7!"

People flooding into Boston from suburbs like Great Barrington and Old Orchard Beach for the Yes DunKings protest

I was about to tell my wife this joke but unfortunately it doesn’t have a Creative Commons license so I can’t

Plus Dunks laces it with crack (or so my wife swears)

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

If you want to make the best case for tanking it’s this: at this very moment, before they change the lottery and with most of the contenders holding at least one top-5 picks that they drafted and with the strongest extension rules in decades, tanking is better than the historical results. That’s it.

Nine of the last 175 top-5 picks have won a title before changing teams (and four of those picks were acquired via trade and two of the other five are Darko and Wiseman).

We’ve had decades of teams winning without big tanking first.

And yet the idea still gets sold as intelligent.

Nine years ago I wrote this in a post!

A decade of Cheap ass franchises selling the ahistorical idea that losing is the best path to winning (and just happens to be cheap and profitable but that's secondary...) and getting the media to report that as Smart Management has led to fans buying in to the idea?!

Ten years of this...

How many games have Liverpool fallen behind, made a bunch of desperation subs, got back to even, and then lost the game in added time playing with a team so ridiculously imbalanced as to invite disaster?

This isn't the worst Liverpool season I've ever seen but it might be the least enjoyable

I think it says a lot that these morons think it's not possible to offer young men anything more than crypto, & gambling.

Classic not a penalty because Egyptian call?

I hadn't thought about it that way but, yeah, right about at that mark now

That's a weird award because it's for a single year and a lot of what Brad did that contributed to winning this season happened more than a year ago and I don't think "got out of the tax" is what you want to reward, even if it was done expertly.

Joe for CotY should be a lock.

And Giannis was back! And I also had little doubt they'd win!

This is a team with a single active player who has made an All Star team in the past five seasons and no one drafted in the lottery since 2016

The Celtics defense has now edged ahead of Houston. Boston is currently top-5 in both offensive (2nd) and defensive (5th) efficiency and opening up a gap on Detroit for the second best net rating behind OKC.

Their per game point differential is tied with the Pistons b/c of C's slower pace.

Kansas Secretly Spent Years Making a List of Trans Residents. Today, the State is Taking Their IDs. An investigation from Transitics has revealed that, under a Democratic governor, Kansas built a list of the state's trans people. Now, Republicans are weaponizing it to revoke their IDs.

In 2023 I would have been ok if they had replaced him, even understanding that the situation he was dropped into was extremely difficult. It was a question of if, with the team being all in for the title, they needed someone more experienced.

Good thing Brad had faith!

Had soccer on Monday night so just caught up on the C's game:

I know Detroit, Phoenix, San Antonio, and Charlotte fans all might feel the same way about their guys, but if Joe Mazzulla doesn't win Coach of the Year I will be Mad Online

Love my taxes being used to fund 3-5 different Israeli wars simultaneously at any given time

Ok, but
