If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.
Just unspeakable assholery.
Miami isn’t in their title game…..and neither are either of the teams that beat them

A large "Wu!" logo is projected onto the windows of the Substation in Roslindale.
Thank you, Boston 🙏

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
Whenever someone says they’re afraid of downtown in American cities, I’m always like, brother, that’s where the Fogos de Chão are.
Some thoughts on 18 guys who I think might have a chance to be useful for the teams that draft them.

This headline is confusing, no? Would be great for them to not have an injured Curry.

‘SINNERS’ is estimated to earn a phenomenal $42M domestically this weekend, a 10% drop
• Would be the smallest box office drop for a major movie in modern history

Here’s the best way to understand what’s happening. Trump genuinely wants to impose a 19th century mercantilist model that would crash the economy and destroy the global trading order but the idea is just so colossally stupid and destructive, he can’t actually do it. So we get this.
Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.
Say it louder for the people in the back!!
Red Rooms is awesome!!
A heatmap distribution of the average shot taken in an NBA season, comparing ’04-05 to ‘24-25
Weird how much the NBA has changed, 20 years ago shot distribution looked like two squirrels chasing each other but now it just looks like my parents fighting?
Awful news --> Delivery of therapeutic food assistance to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids abroad is suddenly in doubt due to Trump-Musk firings at USAID, two manufacturers of the product tell me.

Thank you again for the seminar! Very insightful and enhanced my watch of the film.
I know. It's the same reason I shrug off how many picks NYK gave up for Mikal, since they sent out 0 players of consequence in that deal. Nonetheless, you would think Dallas would have gotten the Lakers' best draft assets, in addition to AD, rather than Charlotte somehow getting them for Williams.
friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"
