I'm hoping this will be a thrilling matchup, but I mostly expect OKC to dominate. I'll still watch either way. Love both teams.

revolving door of head coaches in the NBA is insane! There can only be one winner in any matchup and the team has maybe the most parity it has ever had. Gotta make assessments of coaches that go deeper than 'did we win the championship?' Thibodeau has obviously been great for the Knicks

I love this team - will hate to see any of them get traded!

it's a darkly satirical guide, telling us how to write as the mainstream press does. I.e., avoiding terms like genocide and speaking of the deaths of Palestinians in the passive voice. Sympathize with Israel, but equate Palestine with Hamas. A grim indictment on what we actually see in the news.

it's just murkier than that. Taking content and selling it as one's own is theft. But if a human trains on another's style, and produces new work in a similar vein, that's legitimate. Training AI on others' work is arguably more the latter than the former. But re: machine learning - it's murky.

💯I honestly have little love for the Democratic party. Its flaws are many and often serious. And the Biden age thing is a real issue that in normal times deserves serious discussion. But this isn't normal times - we're staring at the potential end of the USA as we've known it! Get with it, media!

old heads in the party need to relinquish control. They want to maintain their cozy relationship with corporate-sponsored elections and have been too slow to see that their corporatism complements the aggressive work of GOP to dismantle democracy. Save our country and shift far more progressive.

seriously - it's been amazing to me that the trend toward more screens in cars has persisted this long. It's not like greater familiarity with touchscreens is ever going to make them a safe interface while driving!

what really kills me are the average people who vote Republican and repeat these talking points, as though they're going to reap the benefits of tax cuts. They're standing in a ditch with their backs to the suit and his pile of money, yelling at sensible Americans the same inane arguments

it's not the video itself that has anyone scared (or elated or whatever) it's the trajectory of progress. Yesterday, coherent video+audio from one prompt wasn't a thing. Today it is. Looking back one or two years where generative AI was, this dumb video showcases insane progress.

it's not like I think the team is better without Tatum. I highly doubt Celtics get a second championship this year. But if Tatum could keep the pace up through the whole game, keep the ball moving and largely eschewing 1-on-1s, the Celtics would be just that much better

I'm fine with being wrong. But I like to live in nuance, hard in limited-character posts. Tatum's the man - and I'd never, like, advocate trading him. I just trust Brown more, even being somewhat the less talented guy. People think I'm saying something more severe than I intend. meh

[sigh] I'll probably just delete my post. I'm not a fighter or confrontational kind of person. Sports fans like you guys just really like shitting on people when you disagree with them.

I recognize how great Tatum is. He's the most gifted and talented player on the team. But he's the guy that most shifts gears from a pass-first, fast-paced offense to slow, 1-on-1 that is so much less effective for them. Frustrating to watch those because I know how great he always should be!

For a few years now, I've had Brown over Tatum as MVP. Tatum is obviously talented and gifted - but his late-game 1-on-1 slow-the-pace approach is painfully awful.
Celtics have 2 main modes: winning team play, and then Tatum ball (which loses 20pt leads). Brown always plays team ball

Tatum is the most frustrating athlete! Obviously talented, physically gifted, hard working, and seems like an all-around really good guy - but when he starts slowing the game down in 4ths Celtics keep blowing leads. I hate to watch it

thank you Sen. Paul (that's weird to write) It's been driving me nuts that reporting and exuberant stock market act like we just got a huge win. Down from 145% to 30%! But real framing should be: we're going from 0% to 30% tax on everyday Americans, while the rich still expect tax breaks.

that really is Joe Mazzulla's weak point - he's not a very situational coach. He seems to have one approach, and believes in following it 100% of the time. Usually works, but when it's not, it looks like they don't have secondary strategies

Celtics handed both games over. Knicks played great, but it's moreso Boston defeating themselves.

I've said the same thing for the last 5 or 6 seasons. The Celtics' biggest obstacle is themselves. They could have 3 or so championships in that time period

He watched Kamala Harris start her campaign by attacking and ridiculing Trump to enthusiastic support, only to falter and peter out as she toned down the attacks and courted GOP support relentlessly and Gavin thought "that's the strategy for me!"

maybe we really should be using the word more. "Yeah, I gotta go into the office this Friday - we have an all-staff conclave. Totally mandatory. But at least there's donuts."

Soon, you and your kids get to look through the window of the factory at the robots who took all jobs.
Manufacturing (for American humans) is never coming back. The jobs we do still have will continue to be replaced by automation. In the long run, bots will do better at literally everything

and after complying with that condition, states will need to permit new "Election Integrity Officers" to oversee ballot counting. At least the counting of Democratic-leaning districts.

back in the '00s I gave H*R a try on a recommendation, but couldn't get into it from just randomly starting any old cartoon. But when my wife showed me the combo of the Fhqwgds (sp?) email and followup song by the Cheat, I understood. This site was pure joy.

I would love to see the 3-point line extend to the sidelines in so the corner-3 space is chopped off. I dislike the offensive scheme of 'park 1 guy in each corner' requiring a defender largely hover near them too. What actions would evolve without these parked shooters?

kind of a dream job, but for which I have no resume. In another life, I'd have been preparing for this moment ...

NBA defenses looking more like High School / AAU defenses here. I remember some chatter like this when zone defense started becoming more prominent ('we don't usually see this at the NBA level ...') and wondered, why didn't we see it more at the NBA level? We see zone all the time now.

yeah, the vast majority of churches (and mosques and synagogues) deserve their tax-exempt status. They are routinely the impetus of local charity work where nobody is getting rich.
Now, selectively targeting megachurches for taxation? Maybe a little fraught drawing lines, but I'm all for it!

quite - the warning from all countries should be to all: don't travel to the US. I am presently cautioning friends whose parents are green card holders about the danger of traveling out of the country, that their return is fraught. I hate all of this so much.

I was surprised by Harrison Ford. One of very few roles where I felt he wasn't just Harrison Ford. Felt like he substantively adapted William Hurt's portrayal of Gen. Ross. I'm not nearly as down on the movie as some - thought it pretty fun. But that was real highlight to me.
