98% of Substack posts’ target audience is other people who write Substack posts. It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.

When I worked for my college satire newspaper my favorite headline that no one else enjoyed was: Earth Day Celebrated on Swath of Cement.

And to this day I still love it more than you hate it.

It’s not kowtowing to tell Israel to figure their shit out without our help. The US doesn’t exist to placate Israel’s desire to dominate the Middle East. Get over yourself.

This bill would immediately make all three of the NBA’s new national TV contracts null and void, meaning that small market teams would be looking at $0 in TV revenue at the current moment as they don’t have local TV deals either. This would lead to first ever contraction of a major sports league.

Don’t fucking tell me the play in game starts at 7 Prime when it starts at 8. NBA actively hates people who work on the east coast.

Aaron Boone with one of the worst late game management games I’ve ever seen.

If you offered to pay me $100k to explain what a township trustee is responsible for I’d never receive that $100k.

The N.B.A. Has a Tanking Problem Despite the N.B.A.’s many attempts to combat tanking, the incentive to lose remains strong for teams hoping to strategize for the future. Is there a fix?

The absolute best piece on tanking.

Nothing? They are different sports with different coaches and managers.

The greatest NBA story of this season is the Pacers doubling down on tanking after the fine. Just a very public middle finger to Adam Silver. Who, of course, is using the situation to rig the league harder.

And Roman Anthony.

NBA considering harsher tanking penalties, draft lottery expansion: Sources "You have to have something in place that is so drastic, a team would actually think twice about tanking," one source told The Athletic.

At its most fundamental level the NBA is a league that ensures its top markets always have a marketable star. This just makes that slightly easier to do. Equal odds for 1-10*

* unless 1-10 contains a top franchise and then you know what’s coming

Sad end. Just kind of fell apart at the end there. Hopefully they learn from it and grow for next season.

Hell no. Next topic please.

Indy residents brace for 2-way street conversions on city's north side — The Indianapolis Star Some welcome the changes; others fear they will lead to crashes and traffic jams.

Complete insanity to create a narrative from 3 residents. Two of which the article doesn’t even confirm live there. This is bad journalism.

Opinion | Data center opponents should use facts, not hysterics | Letters — The Indianapolis Star I am pleading with opponents of the Martindale Brightwood data center, of which I am one, to stop with the hysterics.

Probably not many fans of my opinion that we should say bad things are bad for the reasons they are bad instead of trying to make them fit the rhetoric of the moment.

The entire confederate resurrection project is based around forgetting that Gettysburg ever happened. It undercuts the whole project.

This also doesn’t make any sense because the socialist party, of which Hidalgo is a member, won an outright majority beating out populist left and centrist parties.

Parisians clearly liked it!

After 100 seasons of futility it’s nice to finally have some lol

The best part of Jacobson getting two quick fouls is that Jacobson can go back to the bench where he belongs

So glad we refused to trade him and Peraza and Andujar and

The Republican Party continues to promote the most anti-natal policies in the US.

Kentucky making it to the second round in that game is how you know this is the bad place.

Hasn’t America been through enough? Couldn’t even give us a Kentucky first round exit.

Terrible decision. Hopefully the courts block it.

Are these the most unlikable winners of all time or just of the 21st century?

Opinion | Tolls won't fix Indiana's budget. Legal marijuana might. | Letters — The Indianapolis Star Indiana plans new highway tolls drivers can easily dodge. Legal, taxed marijuana would raise more revenue and create jobs.

Hard to combine so many bad things into one letter in which I agree with the main point. Legalize marijuana yes but also toll roads. And for the love of everything realize that workplace drug enforcement is a *federal* issue and legalizing weed here still means you can be drug tested.
