Finally saw the LaMelo replay - I don't think it's fair to call that dirty exactly, but it's crazy that something like that can't be looked at. Feels flagrant-ish a a minimum

I have to admit I really thought the play-in structure was going to bomb but I was dead wrong. The NCAA tournament-feel to these games is a lot of fun.

Not really the point here but why do so many billionaires look so uncomfortable simply standing in their human bodies?

It's crazy that one of the more hopeful things to happen to American politics in the last 2 years happened in the country we seemed destined to follow down the authoritarian rabbit hole. I read it was nearly 75% of the public voted. Good god, what a great story.

lol, it finally happened. I feel personally offended by an Onion headline. DEPTH PERCEPTION IS HARD!

Why Pope Leo should go on Joe Rogan.

Is that the Statue of Liberty as a transformer in the background?

He's incapable of understanding that money isn't the motivating factor for everyone else in the world. This is existential for Iran. He's absolutely going to blink first and then declare he's won the fight in eye freshening.

Obviously, there's no such thing as the anti-christ. Also, yes.

What I wouldn't give for a reporter to ask Trump which Pope he would consider especially tough on crime. Or to just name another Pope. What a ridiculous timeline we all live in.

Never thought of Erving as having a KD build but in this shot I can see a lot of similarities, but somehow more athletic...what an absolute legend

Genuine question for the politically savvy folks. Ethics of the war aside, is it common to publicly announce plans to ramp up engagement? Maybe it is, or maybe this is all meant as an intimidation tactic, but seems like terrible strategy to let an enemy know what's coming. Or maybe this is standard?

Maybe she meant like, 'Look, he's obviously very sleepy. You can see his head nodding. If you're trying to gauge who is the sleepiest in the room, he's the most well read'.

Or maybe she's just a delusional sycophant. Could be either one.

Chicago being able to move a disinterested young star and get 2 first round picks in return is a pretty good haul. And Angel Reese seems like a great fit in Atlanta. Is this one of those rare 'everyone did this correctly' trades in professional sports?

Look, I'm never going to cheer for Iran's media machine but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't gotten a couple of chuckles from how they've absolutely owned our President recently.

Now I kinda wish UCONN had made it to the Championship because if UCLA did that to South Carolina, the drubbing they would have given Connecticut may have triggered Geno to punch the mascot and claim it wasn't being respectful enough.

The absolute GOAT of between-play-entertainment. Feels like Red Panda has been around forever.

Quick reminder that a non-insignificant portion of accounts on any social media site, especially those instigating conflict, are bots created by opposing countries helping along our national pastime of hating one another. The next time someones a dick to you online, ignore and block their robot ass

It's my Birthday and I'll Borderline Die if I Want To I’m not sure at what exact point in life birthdays transition away from something that you get excited for into something you either dread or dismiss, but I do know that I passed that threshold a...

The streak continues! And thank God it's the running streak

I've never been less sure of why I love a movie than I was with Birdman. Watching it was a great experience was also weirdly disorienting.

Also, that's a banger 4 pack there

That 9/10 game in the west is going to be ROUGH to watch

Welp, if anyone needs a quick pick-me-up....

Shhhh....don't interrupt the artificial outrage machine otherwise he's not gonna have a schtick. Which is too bad, too, because he was a pretty good sports journalist way back in the day.

Dude's gotta be the least serious perennial MVP candidate in NBA history and I love him for it

I love how the photographer was smooth with it - took the fake beating, slid right into the handshake and then was back to work without missing a beat along the way

Man, that direct correlation between font size of your texting and the likelihood that the messaging is going to be fucked up is wild.

Kinda feels like they did @chrislhayes.bsky.social dirty with this particular photo, lol

Obviously ICE is useless in the airports for anything other than intimidation but maybe this is a good thing. They have to show their faces, they're being recorded/reprimanded by angry citizens and if they're taking up airport space, they aren't hunting fellow humans. So, maybe keep 'em there?

Of all the crappy breaks this year, this one along with Jimmy are the most soul sucking. Moses seems like such a good dude and that image of him crumpling mid-jump was brutal. Heal quickly my guy.
