Everything had to go right AND Indy had to play perfect to have a chance in the NBA Finals. To their credit, they did basically everything right through 4 games. But TH pulling up lame is a piece of bad luck they just can't afford to have. Impressive, gritty run but feels like a 10+ win for OKC in 6

An update from @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social : The Los Angeles Press Club says police officers repeatedly used "less-lethal" bullets and violated the constitutional rights of reporters covering anti-ICE protests.

Seeing some people dragging Aaron Judge because he had a lousy series vs the Sox and WTF folks...have you seen his stat line this year? He's single handedly dragging this team to 1st place and we're gonna lose our mind over 12 at bats? I know it's vs Boston but c'mon

On one hand, I really hate this incessant making of sequels to my favorite childhood movies so I kinda hate this Spaceballs news. On the other hand, if you're giving me an excuse to see Rick Moranis and Mel Brooks in a new movie together - fuck, I'm definitely going to go see that.

You know how I know Trump was never a good dad? Because he planned a big fucking to-do on father's day weekend. You know what a good dad wants on father's day? Nothing. Leave him alone. Give him 8 consecutive hours to nap, have a beer, nap again, and play a decade old video game in peace.

Couldn't sleep last night so I watched 'The Equalizer 2'. A meh level action movie where good guy kills cartoonishly evil bad guys? Sure, perfect 2AM watch. And you know what? Denzel is so good he actually ruins the movie. He's too compelling, too real. He makes it impossible to enjoy the fluff

It's 1:21p on the east coast, Wednesday and I think Judge's HR from last night just landed. Good lord that was a bomb

Talked with a conservative buddy of mine this morning and it's interesting to see how the RWM is promoting Newsom as some sort of liberal hero. He was surprised to hear that, although I agree with a lot of what Newsom has done in the last 72 hours, that dude is not my pick for the future

OK so Newsom has had plenty of swings and misses in the last 12 months but this one's pretty funny

I had friends texting me about the NBA Finals last night and I had friends texting me about The Tony's last night. I was too tired to stay awake for either. And THAT, is how you know you're a well rounded adult.

My only regret is that I'm too old to start a band and name it 'Building American Bananas'

Remember that feeling as a kid when you saw Vader kill Palpatine for the first time when you're like 'Oh, cool, thats good. Vader still sucks but, that was good'. That's the same way this Musk/Trump scuffle feels tome

I'm 100% sure this isn't a unique observation but I finally started watching Severance and while it's amazing, at least twice an episode I think to myself 'holy shit Adam Scott looks exactly like a sleep deprived Tig Nataro'

Clogging the machine in a nonviolent, hilarious and disrespectful manner. 10/10, no notes.

Now that Elon is publicly criticizing a Trump bill, it'll be interesting to see how quickly POTUS starts calling him a washed up hack with a drug problem. All that money buys Elon a lot of Trump love but you don't cross the worlds most sensitive bully without getting some arrows your way

Tibs getting fired reminds me of when Golden State canned Jackson and brought Kerr in. Building the foundation of a franchise and fine tuning the talent are equally important but different skill sets. If the Knicks win a ring in the next 5 years, Tibs will be the guy who should get an honorary ring

36hrs into June and I have yet to hear someone casually but unironically say 'Well why don't we have a Straight Pride Month'. Pleasantly surprised and the O/U of 5.5 days is quickly approaching, I may happily lose this bet

Reading the words 'Supreme Court' and then any piece of good news immediately following is super disorienting.

Last night my daughter was giving me some wildly unprovoked attitude and out of nowhere I said to her 'I will snatch the happy from your life' and I just want to thank whatever ghost of a southern mom inhabited me in that moment because Good Lord did that get her attention

This Pacers run, Pascal Siakam aside, feels weirdly similar to that 2019 Toronto postseason. If both SGA and Chet blow out their knees in the Finals, it'll basically be identical.

If OKC wins the title this year, and it's hard to imagine an non-injury scenario in which they don't, they're lined up to possibly win a couple more in the next 5 years. That's in an NBA thats now structured where such runs are really tough. Turns out 1 billion 1st rd picks are pretty useful

Just heard about the shooting in Fairmount Park here in Philly. Awful news - here's hoping authorities are able to find those responsible quickly
