I hope you are right! I didn't know that about 2s also.

Brandon Ingram is coming up short for the Raptors in the midrange — sound familiar? Ingram's shot diet and slower decision-making don’t always make for the easiest watch. That won't matter if he makes more than he misses.

Derozan-itis - a term i just coined where your primary scorer in the regular season gets his shots in the mid range and those shots get much harder to get in the playoffs, so your primary scorer is no loinger a threat. www.nytimes.com/athletic/721...

A lot of the other pieces look good. CMB, JaKobe, Shead, Mamu all exceeding expectations. Scottie All Defense & 3rd team all NBA (prob). BI great in regular season. Injured and inconsistent starting PG and C isn't sustainable tho when they're also two of your biggest salaries.

1st 2 Raptor playoff games were borderline unwatchable. Raps always lose the first game of Round 1, so i was willing to wait to pass judgement, but setting the record for turnovers in Game 2 is not a serious team. Not sure how they get out of this with Quick and Poeltl eating uo salary.

Imagine a dinner table that could just spit ball ideas like saving public broadcasting in/from the earth's richest country, or setting up some shell corporations to lure a sports star from a Championship team with secret payments.

You know Zohran isn't the only one who should be skipping a Bezos-chaired Met Gala. We don't have to go to any parties we don't want to go to. That's still up to us.

Curiosity poll for artists on AI Your response would be greatly appreciated.

Mass Culture is looking for artists to submit their thoughts on AI here: survey.zohopublic.ca/zs/JLBwR0. IMO things are moving very quickly and the big AI and Culture event the government organized at Banff seemed light on artists. Policy is being formed rn.

(I'm joking the only thing i prefer AI summaries for is the minutes from zoom meetings.)

Should I ask AI to summarize the conversation Bernie and Naomi Klein just had on YouTube about AI?

turns out it was enough for door A

I thought you were talking about Elmo until the very end.

If i were a member of a comedy writing room, and i offered the broad concept of the pope as soft on crime, they would be like this guy is funny he can stay.

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

Can't believe a good thing has happened

LOL they caught up with this couple and actually the conversation was one i have at work weekly?

“We were talking about the academic rigor of a liberal arts education, and essentially how it can be updated for the current economic status and job market,”

Quote below is notable, but also relevant is he expands the concept to argue that "we" knew this before most people who are just coming around to it. We are the OG Trump haters basically.

Raps have a real chance to contribute to or detract from my birthday.

three good chutes deployed

lovely

Just learning half Raps are injured for the biggest game of the year against the team that has beaten them the worst. They had to call a timeout after 2 mins.

Ooooh boy am i glad past me promised we would go to "one of the first 3 Tempo Games" because the diff between the 1st and 2nd for four tickets was about $2,250 to $250.

which ones?

lol i mean Peggy Nash and Andrew Cash

Ding ding ding. Shawn, my theatre company brought Tommy Taylor's play about those breaches to Ottawa in 2012. Multiple MPs talked with us about participating the scene that recreates the conditions in the film studio/detention centre. None of them showed up. Peggy Cash and Andrew Nash did.

Scottie locks up an All-NBA nod and sends Raps to playoffs with a few good games today and over the weekend orrrrrrr a few more 4th Q fades and out of play in before we know it. Either seems plausible. Raps on 3.

One thing I appreciate about the books on my bookshelf is none of the 10 evil overlords plunging humanity into darkness can snap their fingers and make the pages go blank.

Im pretty surprised by this. The Carney ppl have been pretty savvy. There's probably more defections coming and either way they're definitely getting a majority without an election; so I'm not sure why you would prove the eternal critique that the only Liberal value that matters is power.

I genuinely can't stop thinking about the Iranian kids who spent yesterday wondering if they were all going to die and what that day will do to them for the rest of their lives.

If you blew a historically big lead in a Federal election, and more members of your party defected to the Government than under any other leader, you were one of the worst and least successful leaders your party ever had.

sounds like a good theatre prof!

IMO Alto's never going to happen. Business case is poor. Cost is immense. Results will be decades away and we know how P3s go in this country. Already wrapped up in perception of conflict with finance minister.... Just take 1/4 of that money and make VIA good again!
