BS it was never a lack of fan support that was the problem. Was always ownership

I refuse to be an oakland fan until fisher sells the team and brings them back. Was a fan for most of my life

I still don't like his game or his effort on defense. But I can grudgingly admit he's improved.

Oh ffs

The kid in middle school who actively chose to "steal" my only two friends and then frequently told me to kill myself.

I'm sure he had some kind of trauma that made him think this was ok to do but I doubt that dude got any help for that

Super weird to see sociopathy in a child.

What?? You know what I don't wanna know

In my top 3

I maintain that it is possible. I ended up playing sabaac with Ashoka and some CMs there. There was no schedule for it. Just happened organically. The spy character running around has great potential.

The real reason it doesn't work is Disney doesn't want to pay performers that can make it work

It doesn't have to suck. But you can't commit to it halfway, which is definitely what they did

It's so much like baseball! The rhythm feels similar. The pace feels similar. The strategy visible between actions.

It's how other companies think they can do something like it and eventually have it work.

Give me a bobsled team made of big ten tight ends. I think that would work well

The literal opposite. Things went generally pretty well and music suffered as a result

Honestly not sure how they pulled it off and I watched it!

There ARE specific places to go to see that. Heights, third ward, River oaks, by Rice/museum district, etc. But yeah I mean it's dominated by suburbs

Bring back tortillas from HEB. You'll be glad to have them in Chicago

My least favorite Tiger even got the game winning bucket and block. Ok Phillips. Ok.

Mizzou Rah baby! These Tigers gave the Aggies hell in the second half.

Not sure how A&M wasn't called for an offensive foul on the last possession.

Aggie literally had his arms hooked around the arms of the Mizzou defender.

Why Affordability and the Vibecession Are Real Economic Problems There are many ways inflation makes people worse off even when real incomes recover, especially for essentials.

Really good stuff from @mtkonczal.bsky.social on empirically quantifying the “vibecession” … a combination of price volatility/more income going to essentials despite rising wages substack.com/app-link/pos...

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I was at that game. It was not fun to watch
