Tim Kawakami SUCKS at podcasting! He oscillates between saying lame, obvious things and totally ridiculous things. I listen to #Warriors Plus-Minus *despite* him. I wish it was Slater and MT only, every time @theathletic.bsky.social

California is a great state, but the DMV is massively failing its drivers. @calmatters.org "found nearly 40% of the drivers charged with vehicular manslaughter since 2019 have a valid license." 😳 calmatters.org/investigatio...

Very well said by @haliesoifer.bsky.social #USA #AmericanJews #Trump #Antisemitism #FreeSpeech jewishdems.substack.com/p/passover-a...

@ml-j.bsky.social You nailed the mood for the Kings ("What is the point?) on Around the Horn, and I LOVE the food analogy 🍫🐓🍇 😂😂😂 I say all this as a Sacramento-raised former spors reporter (including for the Mercury-News). Bravo for summing the basketball situation up so eloquently 👏🏼 though sadly

U.S.-born man held for ICE under Florida’s new anti-immigration law 😮😥😡 floridaphoenix.com/2025/04/17/u...

I want so badly for the #Valkyiers to take Hailey Van Lith!! I'm been a fan from afar for a few years and I think she has the tenacity and skill to be a real star in the #WNBA @gsvalkyries.bsky.social

I just now am listening to Mark Cuban on @smartless.bsky.social in Aug. 2022, in which he said he has no plans to sell the #Mavericks... mere months before he sold the team, and with it any control over keeping Luka Doncic in Dallas. Wild!

Steve Kerr to Steph Curry in the immediate aftermath of the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medal game: "Holy shit, you are amazing. Finest human being I've ever met in my life, and I mean that, in every way." Awesome moment caught for @netflix.com's #CourtofGold #StephenCurry #USABasketball #Warriors

Enlightening and entertaining piece by @brianphillips.bsky.social trying to make any sense of the "extraordinary nonsense" tariffs, which were seemingly lifted from an incorrect AI response... @theringer.com.web.brid.gy www.theringer.com/2025/04/08/p...

Rep Baumgartner decided to play the Soros card. Yawn. I expect he'll be introducing legislation to overturn Citizens United any day now... right?

“Yes, we do need some First Amendment protections at the State Department, but not for imagined transgressions of previous administrations. We need them from this administration, today.” Watch the rest here: foreignaffairs.house.gov/hearing/cens...

I want to give another huge shout out to @ninajankowicz.com here for her brilliant testimony on how the "censorship industrial complex" is an invention of the right wing bullshit machine. On Taibbi, one of its architects: "Everything looks like a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works!"

Massive thank you to @booker.senate.gov for your courage, conviction, compassion, values & stamina in speaking for a full 25. hours on the Senate floor!! Your marathon speech on behalf of Medicaid greatly inspires me & makes me hope we can come together & actually rebuff #facism!! @corybooker.com

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

OSSOFF: Disagreements between the president and VP about US plans and intentions would be of obvious interest to foreign intelligence services, would it not? RATCLIFFE: Yes OSSOFF: And they were discussing the timing of sending US aircrews into enemy airspace where they faced an air defense threat

The brain drain from the US has begun: 2 of America's leading researchers have left their jobs--formerly 2 of the most coveted academic positions in the world--for a chance to live & work without fear in Canada. There is going to be a lot more of this, ending almost a century of US leadership.

Boy am I gonna miss Around the Horn... but I will NOT miss Bill Plaschke. Not only is he *far* too much of a homer, his takes almost always are ridiculous. What a whackadoodle! #ESPN #AroundTheHorn @latimes.com

"If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation immediately, our country is in very serious trouble!" Yeah, in trouble because of *you* Another example of nefarious double-meaning from Trump. SMH #USA

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Big same

@bera.house.gov As one of your constituents, and a liberal one, I'm appalled to learn that you voted to censure Rep. Al Green for his protest of Trump. Considering what that vote symolizes -- punishment for a dissenting of the Idiot in Chief -- I will be abstaining from voting for you ever again

Stephen Curry could be called the Small Fundamental 😂 -- as inspired by #Warriors broadcaster Bob Fitzgerald referencing Tim Duncan (aka the Big Fundamental) in praising Steph's passing and fundamentals. Or maybe it's Medium Fundamental, or Not-As-Big Fundamental 🤣 @nbcswarriors.bsky.social

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

Sadly, WaPo is not the press, it is propaganda. That slide had already started & was cemented today. I'm glad to say I'm not an Amazon Prime user, & I won't be reading WaPo articles (sorry to the honest journalist there... if any with integrity still work there) #Journalism @thepressbox.bsky.social

One pernicious step after another, Bezos encroached on the Post editorial policy. Today he seized it fully. The old Washington Post is gone. I'll never write for it again as long as he's the owner.

I am shocked even while I am not shocked. Another example of how the orange guy at the top is empowering overt racists/facists and their horrible ideology #USA

Former NFL player Chris Kluwe arrested during Huntington Beach City Council meeting www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

14 US states say Trump illegally appointed Elon Musk to head DOGE and sue Trump. New Mexico and 13 other states sue Trump alleging he has given Musk "unchecked legal authority" without authorization from the U.S. Congress. www.reuters.com/legal/judges...

Someone tried to tell me Taylor Swift is as big as The Beatles... OK so, No.1 hits-wise it's 12 to 20 (so far), #Swifties are kinda like #Beatlemania... but The Beatles revolutionized 4-track recording and had around 100 hit songs that were/are known worldwide. Their influence can't be matched again

Big thank you to @joelanderson.bsky.social and Brian Curtis @thepressbox.bsky.social for talking about the many problems with Trump's attack on the press. It's cathartic to hear two journos whom I respect lay out how terrible it is #Journalism #USA

Drake's antics are silly, sure -- but Kanye literally fomenting hatred is *dangerous* ... So terrible how Meta doesn't bother to ban a massive celebrity (or anyone) for pointing their account toward selling these. Beyond atrocious #ChooseLove #ScrewCapitalism #USA
