41-year-old LeBron James scored a team-high 28 points tonight, becoming the oldest player in NBA history to lead a team in scoring in the playoffs.
Passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who did it at 41 years & 2 months on Jun 16, 1988.
he also led the team in rebounds & tied for the team lead in assists lol

Smothered him completely. There was a couple times he split the trap high and a third body was there before he got inside the 3pt line
Kevin Durant with 9 turnovers tonight, the most in the playoffs by any player since Joel Embiid had 9 in Game 5 against the Knicks in 2024.
9 turnovers, 4 fouls.

using the gas tax as a lever to stabilize prices at the pump — raising them when gas prices are low and lowering them when they're high lets consumers budget better rather than being trapped into a car they suddenly can't afford to fuel when there's chaos in the middle east.
here's what i'll say about this: suspending the gas tax *with the stipulation you raise it an equivalent amount later when gas is cheap again* is a policy idea that makes a lot of sense.
Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.
Sengun be doing the same shit we wanna put KAT in the dunce corner for.

Trail Blazers fans are already justifiably upset with me, but I'm just talking as a general basketball consumer.
I don't want to see Jerami Grant on a basketball court. I want to see him on a runway, modeling, as God intended for him.
I want to see the face of the NBA Victor Wembanyama.

Worth noting how many organizations like SPLC neutered themselves and the work that they do, trying to avoid this very moment. Especially since Trump won again. But MAGA was always going to come for them. And eventually, we'll all be targets. No matter how much we tried to remain nonpartisan, etc.

SPLC was indicted before anyone in the Epstein files.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
The legal system is, you know, a system.
This is what it does.

Can you imagine not being able to commercially monetize this community? Probably shouldn't be allowed to run any media company ever again
A lot about the world is very heavy right now but if a college football podcast that got jettisoned by Vox during the pandemic for not having a marketable audience can raise this much money for refugees in Atlanta in two days then just think of all the stuff we can all do together
AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"
think this posture is going to become even more important in less than 24 hours if things go sideways with the supreme court
![The key phrase—“an establishment of religion”—was readily
understandable to founding-era citizens. See District of Columbia v. Heller,
554 U.S. 570, 576–77 (2008) (relying on a phrase’s “[n]ormal meaning . . .
known to ordinary citizens in the founding generation”). The reason is
simple. At the time, establishments were “a familiar institution.”
McConnell, Establishment, supra note 12, at 2107.13 Someone on the streets
of 1789 Boston, reading that phrase, would have instantly thought of the
Church of England, the colonial established churches, or the current state
establishments—in other words, a polity’s official church or religion. Ibid.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:aw426jbgw7drhivb4ijrizlu/bafkreiduhdy2udsogi6jjhgxmz764ne7a25cvulptoeqmzq2kevp6pe66e)

Ibid.
Although the colonial establishments became more tolerant of dissenters as independence approached, their essence remained unchanged. The original state constitutions reflect as much. Far from rejecting establishments, many states preserved the core components of their establishments, such as public financial support for the official church, regulation of religious institutions, and religious qualifications for civic participation.36 Most explicit was South Carolina, whose 1778 Constitution declared that “the Christian Protestant religion” was “the established religion,” requiring religious societies to subscribe to enumerated articles of faith to receive legal recognition. S.C. Const. of 1778, art. XXXVIII, reprinted in Poore, State Constitutions, supra note 36, at 1626.
The Fifth Circuit flatly states that when the First Amendment says Congress may not create an "establishment of religion," it means the Church of England. They then argue the Founders intended states to have their own churches unaffected by the First Amendment (!!!).
