i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

There's an obscure rule written in the original basketball founding documents by James Naismith himself, that if a team fields an entire roster of Jalens they win by default, and every team is trying their best.

If they remade back to the future and had Marty go back and astonish the crowd and kept everything the same amount of years apart he could play either Smooth by Santana ft Rob Thomas or No Scrubs by TLC

This is.... concerning

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

I get that tanking is seen as really bad. I get that the league is going to do what they can to fix it.

Saying tanking is worse that gambling scandals is about 20 bridges too far. Waving away gambling scandals like that is insanity.

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I just thought everyone should see this

Federal prosecutors quit in protest over lack of investigation into ICE shooting Six lawyers from US attorney’s office in Minnesota quit along with four leaders of DoJ’s civil rights division

So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

Scientists now believe that the human brain--a magic goo for worrying--can also be used to do other things

LeBron James' streak of 1,297 games with 10+ points is over.

He was held to under 10 points for the first time since Jan. 5, 2007.

fun fact via @woodleysean.bsky.social, only 24 players have played at least 1,297 games in NBA history.

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace-business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me-and I welcome their hatred.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

November is now the most steps I've ever recorded on my watch in a month as of this evening. Feels pretty good.

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

I assume this is code for he was hung over at summer league

this part from the unc dennis article at the athletic should be a bigger deal. cap circumvention is "a cardinal sin" but only if the NBA can prove it happened (a high bar, we're discovering) not if a rep asks for lots of it in negotiations. this is basically a don't ask, don't tell kind of set up.
