Postseason-high 18 turnovers for OKC, they're on pace to commit more turnovers than their opponent for just the second time this playoffs

Benedict Mathurin is playing like Ronny Dobbs in “Backyard Basketball” tonight…

Fun part of this Finals? Both the Oklahoma City and Indiana crowds have been awesome! So much energy and noise in both arenas.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

This was how Osamu Tezuka felt. I do what I do & no one would be able to execute my vision but me…

For Some Black Angelenos, ICE Raids Reopen the Wound of Displacement Neighborhoods now under siege by ICE were once the beating heart of Black LA, before demographic change transformed them into Latino communities capitalbnews.org/ice-raids-bl...

Your tongue was a different color for longer than it should've been. I can still tase it and I haven't had one since "Silver Spoons" was still on the air before syndication...

Either Sabby Lewis, Roy Haynes or Alan Dawson.

i urge y'all to watch old interviews & debates in your free time. you'll see that we've been fighting these battles for a loooong time. we don't have to reinvent the wheel... the ancestors left playbooks & we have the benefit of knowing what didn't work to figure out what may work now

I've liked the decisiveness, drives and cuts from the Pacers. The Thunder have hung around, Pacers effort has been good defensively but questions still there. Pacers shooting 55% at half, OKC has 20 made field goals, 10 assists.

The Happiest Place on Earth

That was an interesting first half of NBA Finals basketball…

Learning the details of "nonlethal" AKA "less than lethal" AKA merely crippling and/or blinding and/or incrementally less absolutely certain to kill you weapons was one of the major factors that made me leave military R&D in the late 90's. Don't believe any hype you hear about "rubber" bullets.

A friend who works at Harbor-UCLA just told me that ICE was on the premises. Harbor-UCLA is a safety-net hospital & a level 1 trauma hospital. People are going to die because of these actions. This makes me so angry.

These dumb ass Trump supporters be saying shit like "You have to admit that Skeletor had a point"

She ATE your honor!

Gotta tell ya that losing Juliette Powell and Ananda Lewis on back to back days is a gut punch to Gen Xers who know firsthand the impact of them both on multiple micro generations of Black girls and young women who got to finally see themselves represented in those spaces. Rest in eternal peace.

There was a stretch where the trifecta of people’s biggest crushes were N’Bushe Wright, Maia Campbell & Ananda Lewis in the late ‘90s…

Ananda Lewis quickly became an all-purpose host & correspondent on MTV. I first saw a young Christina Aguilera as a member of the Mickey Mouse Club but Ananda Lewis raved about her years later on TRL after seeing her sing live at a showcase thrown by her label. She worked on MTV’s Hip Hop Week…

Under Ananda & DaJour, there was a resurgence with “Teen Summit”. A new young energy that included a young Mya Harrison as a background dancer. People began noticing & Ananda got more opportunities with BET before MTV came calling. She ended up a host on MTV shows “12 Angry Viewers”, TRL” & “DFX”…

I was introduced to Ananda Lewis via BET’s “Teen Summit”. The show first thrived under Lisa Johnson, later Lisa Johnson-Smith. When she left, she was replaced by Belma Johnson. He didn’t work out, so BET hired co-hosts, Prince DaJour formerly a teen panelist who moved to “Rap City” & Ananda Lewis

Ananda Lewis, the former MTV VJ, has died, according to a post on her sister Lakshmi’s Facebook page

ANANDA LEWIS?

EDDIE!

RFK is going to be responsible for a lot of death and suffering

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

If your healthcare provider supports or endorses anything RFK. Jr has to say about public health or vaccines, your health is in grave danger. Find yourself a new healthcare provider expeditiously. A word to the wise is sufficient.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Should we call these masked agents undocumented or illegals?

I was his biggest opposition going back to the early Twitter days…

NOAP. Thank God. Neither is the Baltimore version of Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Brooklyn Zoo”

The Sky really played in her face. SMH.

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he 💯 is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.

If Tyrese Haliburton running the pick-and-roll is the Pacers' fastball, their changeup is running things through Pascal Siakam. But the Thunder have hit that, too. At Y! Sports: Wrote about OKC limiting Siakam, and how Indiana needs to get him going: yhoo.it/4jJscTK

Abolish Palantir. Palantir Technologies is not a data analytics company. It is, as its own CEO and founder has stated, a “digital kill chain.”

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):
