Was waiting for my Dunker Spot fix and my app finally updated for the new ep. And sure enough, the Wemby news broke after they recorded the pod. It's always something, @nekiasnba.bsky.social! 😂

OPINION: "Despite being in a crowd of women, I felt alone. I didn’t feel empowered; I felt helpless. I felt as though I was fighting by myself for myself," Kiden-Aloyse Smith writes. https://buff.ly/3EvguNA

What a career for Hubie Brown. He's forgotten more about basketball than most of us will ever know.

Rascal @rowanzeoli.bsky.social attended a January 6th wargame days after the inauguration.

south korean politicians were literally scaling fences to protect their government and our senators are sending out pre-scheduled tweets about the super bowl while an unelected foreign billionaire seizes control of the treasury.

It’s like there is this straight line from Citizens United to “richest man in the world buys himself unfettered access to the Treasury”

If you had asked me last year, I would've said there was a better chance of Wardell Stephen Curry playing with LeBron than Luka. What timeline are we in?

The most sensible Mavs fans right now (hat tip to @davidjroth.bsky.social)

Worth noting... Since Klay Thompson's first full season back from injury, he has played more games than either Kyrie or AD. From 2022 to the present day: Klay: 69, 77, 42 (188) Kyrie: 60, 58, 39 (157) AD: 56, 76, 42 (174)

You are the Mavs. You are betting that a 25-year-old generational talent who just led you to the NBA Finals is worse long-term than: - A famously oft-injured C/F at 31 - A temperamental PG with a brain on permanent flight risk at 32 - A SG at 34 who lost 2.5 years of his prime to crabmeat legs

TIL that the Arkansas Constitution, in the year 2025, still allows slavery and indentured servitude as a punishment for crime.

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

There is such a thing as a too-smooth dust jacket. I like to actually hold my book instead of having it constantly slip from my fingers. One of the reasons I usually wait for paperbacks!

@gregleding.bsky.social Hi Greg, thanks for all the updates. Could you help explain the pharmacy bill that passed from your committee? Seems thorny. Can see benefits for hospitals and patients but worry about independents. Ultimately more options for patients to get meds faster is good, right?

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

Pushing myself to read more books this year. So far I've finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Obitchuary. What's everybody reading?

Played Void Crew for the first time. Pretty fun! Game does not pull punches. One minute you're fine and the next you're desperately fighting off an armada with your one little ship.

The reason that the Summoner in FEH is so revered and powerful is because Breidablik can summon units AND is a gun. Swords, lances, axes, magic? Nah. Bullets are outside the weapon triangle. They are literally "I'm going to defeat you with the power of friendship and this gun I found."

With Jalen Suggs, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner being the Orlando Magic's most important players... how about SPF for a nickname for the big three in sunny Florida?

What's a movie you used to love growing up, but you rewatched it as an adult and it sucked?
