He did shoot one yesterday... let's not talk about the result.

Did they really do a challenge in a 43-point blowout? Just let the game end at that point.

I don't have to use it, but I've had to encounter weird AI slop that others have done.

Whoa. I just realized there have been 7 different champions in the last 7 years! I'm guessing that hasn't happened in a long time (or ever?).

That makes sense then. I don't follow the draft stuff that closely.

Yes. I wouldn't want it to be totally flat either. That is the original point of doing the lottery: helping bad teams get better (especially if they are small market teams maybe). I'm actually surprised that teams are tanking as much as they are given the flatter odds.

Do you think they would ever change the lottery to make it completely random for all teams regardless of record? That would eliminate tanking. They have moved it a bit in that direction already with the lottery odds getting more even across lottery teams.

Relegation will never happen. Owners paid for NBA teams. They didn't sign up for the chance that their team is bounced out of the league.

The Senate is stacked against us because of the small state thing. But the House doesn't have to be!

I love this list. But I would like to point out that his name is spelled Micheal Williams, making it less plain.

Yes. It is men's only. Unclear why women's basketball wouldn't be on here then... Or why they didn't add up the men's and women's counts if they were going to combine the two. They messed up.

They learned about the Median Voter Theorem in a Poli Sci course one time and decided it explained everything and they would never think about it critically no matter what was happening in the real world.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

To be fair, it was very clear at the time. Many institutions were very stupid (and cowardly).

This is why he's so desperate to get rid of Powell at the Fed. He's just a normal, smart person. (Yes, the Fed is supposed to be independent. I know.) Trump nominated him during the first term, and he now regrets it. It turns out he wants a Trump loyalist in every position.

This bothered me too. But just out of curiosity, who was president in 2018? I can't seem to remember... Maybe there is some connection between that administration and this one.
