Nine of the absolute best players to play the game.

And Karl Malone, who sucks as a person but is probably top 50 all time.

Teen about to punch a racist says “okay”

Only upside of the glasses is that we might get more videos like this;

In January I would have said Luka was second team just because he was having a down season, but I think his 2026 was so good I’d put him on first team even with the games missed.

(I really value durability though, so wouldn’t blame anyone for knocking him down some spots)

The discourse: Democrats never do anything for working people, which is why they vote for Republicans

What’s actually happening:

They’re fine with common goods for other white people but draw the line at black people getting anything.

Your preferred gender matches your biological gender. (ie not trans)

I still don’t understand why no one south of Philadelphia or west of Chicago can make a decent Italian sandwich. There’s still a ton of Italian places in North Beach (San Francisco) and none of them can do it!

Tapper’s post reads like what a parody of a CNN reporter’s posts would sound like.

Stephen Miller thinks the only problem with the Holocaust is that they went after the wrong ethnic groups:

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

There a lot of exceptions to this, but most bartenders at most places hew pretty strongly to this.

Oh, and this probably isn’t obvious- not the legal limit, but the limit before you can’t function (a definition different for each bartender)

I spent all of my 20s and a lot of my time before and after in bars and clubs, my mom was a waitress, I’ve dated a bunch of waitresses and bartenders, I say this from experience any decent bartender has an idea of how drunk you are and is going to cut you off if they think you’re over the limit.

True, but he also should never have been allowed back in that league in the first place.

Wonder if management told the players that Mosley was being fired no matter what, so they didn’t need to slack.

Miles Bridges is a quality NBA rotation player and the fact that he’s allowed to play in the NBA is an indictment of Adam Silver, Michael Jordan, the new Charlotte owners, the rest of the owners, the players union, the citizens of Charlotte, and I’m just getting started.

See, that’s not how I would describe capitalism - but all this is a moot point, unlike GLHM I do describe myself as a Democratic socialist

Didn’t someone get the Chipotle chatbot to write some Python for them instead of ordering a burrito?

That part killed me. I gave a ton of money to food insecurity programs last year (Thanksgiving was tough for me, and the only way I got through it was trying to help other people). But I still took the standard deduction, because it’s huge!

God I love having Doc Rivers back on the Bill Simmons pod. Absolute HOF podcast guest.

But all of this is downstream from the fact we listen to business leaders about what policies are good for business, and they tell us policies that are good for them personally and bad for the overall economy (and their own business!)

I think this is all semantics. Putting all the money in the hands of a few people isn’t a good use of capital since we have economic data that says the economy performs better when we give money to poor people, so from that I’d say concentrating wealth is a not optimal form of wealth distribution.

Yeah, there is a large part of me that is small-c conservative and that is the part of me that is the most angry at the modern conservative movement.

Wagner is back but he doesn’t look right, and Paolo seems more concerned with getting a new coach than winning. I agree it’s hard to see the Magic break the hornets. But I could see the Hornets beating themselves.

missed a call from the Crash Test Dummies this morning

When Josh Shapiro started talking negatively about Israel (even if it was barely negative) that’s when I knew these must be insane poll numbers.

High Church Episcopal! They have similar drip and no pope, if that’s what you want.

But these guys want to be a part of 2,000 years of Western civilization without remotely understanding the past 2000 years of Western civilization.

Yeah, Korea was (despite whatever issues in execution) a just war. Vietnam did not “become” unjust though, it was always unjust (learning how much faith Ho Chi Minh had in the US for so long was genuinely depressing)

If you told me that Donald Trump was the Kwisatz Haderach of evil, a product of two thousand years of selective breeding to produce the antichrist foretold in the Bible...I'd take you a lot more seriously than I would have 10 years ago.
