American unions have long wanted such a safety net, back to New Deal times. What stopped it here?

He’s just not good at his job and incredibly thin-skinned. Even the commentator mentioned how Brothers has a pattern of talking back to players when he gets mad during a game. It’s a known thing.

But I do believe the relationship between a company and its workers is adversarial; you can call be dogmatic in that if you want, but it’s the nature of capitalism.

A non-hostile relationship doesn’t mean the company has necessarily co-opted the union; it would be unfair to say the UAW was co-opted by the big three instead of saying they dug their own grave in becoming a business union.

Sure: worker ownership of the company. Workers getting binding votes for things such as executives, policies, strategy, etc. Seats on the board for workers.

Could’ve been against five G-League guys; Nuggets don’t have a third healthy playmaker till you get down to their borderline NBA player 12th-13th guys. No ways to generate offense. If they had Watson healthy the might’ve tried with him instead of

That’s Jokic’s rest time and they can’t run a lineup with neither or they’ll score like they’re playing the mecha-Ben Wallace Pistons

Fuck Tony Brothers god damn

Basketball is a great sport! One fun aspect is a “foul,” which is something the refs define entirely new every single quarter of every game. Never the same thing twice, it keeps the game fresh

[john fetterman voice] somebody stop me.

First of all he’s a guy who was big into Chicago sports in the 1980’s, he’d hate the Knicks! He’d hate Patrick Ewing! He’d have mixed feelings on Charles Oakley!

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

I don’t know if this is a conspiracy theory others have too, but I think after the government killed MLK and Malcolm X, the ruling class decided to never elevate a left-wing leader to their prominence again

Laughing at the idea that the "first order of business if Dems win House/Senate" should be to re-introduce the right-wing immigration bill Biden/Harris tried to run on in 2024 to take the immigration issue off the table by making a ton of concessions to the anti-immigration right.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

It was either Bowie or Gary Numan who talked about this; if you wave to a crowd, at the end of any wave it’ll look like a Nazi salute, so it’s easy to pretend someone is doing a Nazi salute with a photo instead of a video

I’ve had it a few times at a French bar in Seattle, it rules. Basically tastes like butter mushrooms to me. Probably all the butter
