Pretty wild that the Mavs are running a lineup with two future hall of famers against a G League team

Between this, the med bed video, and telling reporters his circle convinced him Portland is permanently on fire, I’m convinced ole pepaw here is fully out to lunch. Like even more so than we already knew he was.

The US media apparatus has failed at reporting on the rise of MAGA fascism at every possible turn. It is most definitely not equipped to be dealing with federal authorities flooding the zone with false narratives and fake evidence to continue pushing their oppression. This is going to be bad.

IDK what this crony nutbag thinks the definition of the word β€œengraved” is, but it definitely does not mean β€œhastily scribbled in blue Sharpie”

The President of the United States just accidentally tweeted out a crazed DM to the Attorney General of the United States, admonishing her for not doing a good enough job of punishing his enemies.

And this country is so fucked that it’ll just be a β€œlol of course” thing that we forget immediately.

Bret Hart rocked an SGA t-shirt at a German football game. Two Canadian GOATs.

The craziest thing about the Kimmel situation is he didn’t talk about Kirk himself, nor did he actually say the shooter was conservative. He was commenting on MAGA’s desperation to characterize the shooter as a belonging to any group other than their own.

But you know, reality doesn’t matter.

Can’t wait for Christofascist state-run TV that’s nothing but football, televised megachurch sermons, Kid Rock music videos, and reruns of Kevin Sorbo’s Hercules

This right here is the trick of it all. The civility is performative, a method of dressing up hate and misinformation to give off the air of grace and intellectualism. It’s lipstick on a pig, and it’s even more insidious than being crass or violent because people and the media fall for it.

Corporate media bravely continues Charlie Kirk's legacy by committing to destroy the careers of anyone who disagreed with him:

Ironically, all the people old enough to be hyped about this have way too many back and eye problems to use it in a manner that’s even remotely comfortable

Not saying I’ll ever buy one or play any of these games, but I’ve never popped harder for a Nintendo Direct announcement than this one, just for the sheer absurdity of it

Fucking insane. Isn’t it enough to be installing your fascist bullshit here? Leave them folks alone.

This whole concept of a β€œsmoking gun” in this situation is so juvenile. β€œOh well, what if the Aspiration guy was just a big Clippers fan and wanted Kawhi to stay in LA and the team had no idea about the payment?”

Call me naive, but that, to me, is still cap circumvention in spirit anyway

11.09.2025 23:08 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The Kawhi stuff is truly insane. At this point, if the league doesn’t punish the Clippers in some capacity, the question has to then become β€œokay, so what WOULD prove cap circumvention?” And if the only answer is a literal communication mentioning cap payment, then that is a MASSIVE can of worms

In other news, I’m very heartened to see the size of the crowd showing up to see the 4K restoration of Seven Samurai at my little local Long Island art-house theater

there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

Not posting about you now what so instead I need everyone to see this comment made by Adam Silver at the NBA Board of Governors meeting because it is one of the most infuriating things I’ve read about the league in a long time

He’s fit in so well to the team and the city that it would be so sad! They have lots of options for keeping him around, though. So who knows.

This upcoming season is the last one before Dub and Chet’s new salaries start. The team will need to start making some difficult $$$ decisions after this season. Hart is expensive, and the team also has the option to let him go after this upcoming season. So if that’s the route they want to take…

Certainly makes next offseason even more interesting with the looming Hartenstein contract situation
