Wowwww

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the 2024-25 NBA Champions!

The NBA has seven different champions in seven seasons for the first time in league history. 2019 - Raptors 2020 - Lakers 2021 - Bucks 2022 - Warriors 2023 - Nuggets 2024 - Celtics 2025 - Thunder

I’m here! Really great speech on the data from Leon Smith of CFJJ.

My kid with his sign! #NoKings #mapoli

I’m at the #NoKings rally in #Waltham and it is a SCENE! #mapoli

This seems to be about right to me

Then ICE should have no plans to continue existing. This is morally wrong, legally wrong and is indefensible. The people making these decisions must be held to account.

Arrest Trump admin officials who refuse judges orders.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

This is literally a @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social joke

I’m here! Such a great networking event. #mapoli

This is madness

The season has begun

Nooooooo

Armed with a new outline for my novel, I’m trying again to traverse the Plains of Procrastination

Woke up from a dream in which Shawn Hunter from Boy Meets World was played by Antoni Porowski and….it kind of works????

That’s a bargain!

I find it’s helpful when I’m feeling this way to specify what “cooked” means. Will many many things get bad — and worse? Yes. But not all of them. That’s where there’s an opening to make change.

This is why I (a non-smoker) love pretzel rods

It is WILD to me that this was written in the early 1990s, before Kindles, before highly targeted internet ads took over every aspect of our economy. Before any of ::gestures around broadly:: I used to identify with Calvin. Nowadays I identify more and more with Calvin’s Dad.

Yeah I got daddy issues

Hot take: this era is better than an era of a dynasty. Don’t we want surprises? Don’t you not want to think “dang that team is great but they’ll never make it past X”? When anybody can win it’s EXCITING!!!!

Today I returned to my project to try & find out if I can make it over Insecurity Mountain/across the Plains of Procrastination. The real question of course is not whether I can do this ONE time, but rather daily or nearly so. I need a plan that gets me over the “I’m too tired”/“life happens” hump

Also! Why is cursive magic? If I write my name in print that’s not a signature that counts but if I scribble my name in script it’s “official.”

At the risk of sounding corny, hope really is a practice. I’m as much of a cynical depresso as the next person. The reason why I find doomerism so toxic is that it forecloses the possibility of a better future. The devils want us to fall into despair.

still celtics. regardless.

Pacers-Knicks is so boring

I’m depressed.

Honestly at this point just chuck up a bunch of 3s and see what falls and whatever #celtics

Should I even watch the second half? #celtics

#celtics just … crumbled

That’s game.
