Back-to-back game 2 stunners tonight. Basketball is fun.

I knew the Knicks would not be able to sweep the Hawks but I didn’t know one of the Ls was gonna look like this. I need a weighted blanket and some smooth jazz.

F*cking Knicks, man.

Yes, you can make a strong case about the optics of the third ouster of the second Trump admin being a third woman. But Bondi and Noem were doing the admin's worst bidding (and badly). Chavez-DeRemer is just an extremely wild and messy gal.

I've heard people say "well yeah but he was still successful after all that"

okay but what was he successful at? keeping himself and his family rich at the expense of everyone else. so. what would you expect from him as president

This immediately made me go to his Wiki page.

It will never, ever cease to amaze me that ppl voted a man into office who filed for bankruptcy six times in his life bc they thought he'd be great for the economy. SIX TIMES. And a couple of those were casinos. Do you know how terrible you gotta be at business to fail at owning CASINOS?

I truly wish we could keep the @slate.com homepage double emoji'd up like this for the remainder of the week. The art team is holding on for dear life over here. Gotta laugh to keep from crying.

This is f*cking gorgeous. When does it drop?

He’s fun to watch, but still a fool too often. And the jokes about his driving aren’t funny. Someone in that organization should talk to him about Bobby Phills.

While they're reviewing LaMelo sweeping Bam's leg, they might wanna check on what happened to Hugo postgame, too. Gotdamn.

These Play-In games tonight have no business being this fantastic.

I’m sure it’s there. But I don’t know who’s actually drinking it on that side of the map.

That was an insanely good game of professional basketball. My God. Like, goosebumps for real. Pure dog mode.

YOU GOTTA BE SH*TTING ME, BEZOS.

They’re setting it up for Kon Knueppel to go berserk in the first round to make up for tonight.

If the Hornets win this, they are gonna give the Pistons a headache in that first round. And I’d like to see that.

Seems like it paid off. And he’s still not out there for OT. 😫

On a night where Kon Knueppel laid a fat goose egg from three on six attempts and a -20 for the game, Hornets are putting up a hell of a fight.

It might be regional. Squirt is extremely popular here in LA. Especially at taco stands/trucks

Jamelle, this is one of your finest short reposts.

i bet this goes crazy if you’re a dumbass

A screenshot of a 2024 Twitter/X post from musician and film director Boots Riley which reads: “Now is as good a time as any to tell people that Rick Rubin is a behind-the-scenes right winger who tried to recruit music industry folks to QAnon type stuff and is who (according to Kanye) convinced Kanye to meet Candace Owens and endorse Trump. He just looks like a hippie.”

From 2024. Boots isn’t the type of person to just come outta left field and wild sh*t just to say it.

Yes, and Portland. Cleveland, Philly and Detroit down the road as well.

There’s one name in particular on here I wish they could punt into outerspace for reasons but otherwise this is an amazing, diverse class.

I'm excited.

The new WNBA season is gonna be so fire. Them girls gettin’ money now.

Ahhh yes, The Red Cross. Famously known for their glowing hands and their ability to heal people by laying hands on them.

GET THIS GERIATRIC F*CK OUT OF HERE, PLEASE.
