I wrote about a veteran Austin comic (believe it or not, comedy existed here before Joe Rogan and it was good) who is starting an anti-Kill Tony show. Because standup can be funny AND non-shitty! thebarbedwire.com/2025/04/04/t...

good morning. @thecurmudgeon.bsky.social interviewed yacht rock expert @hollywoodsteve.bsky.social about all things yacht rock and more. it's an extensive interview that covers a lot of bases and it's pretty fascinating ihavethatonvinyl.com/conversation...

I love that the Spanish MLB IG page has a video taking two migrant workers to the Padres game. It feels like a big middle finger to everything going on in this country

In 2018 Ora Wildermuth’s name was taken off the Intramural Center at Indiana U after rediscovery of his segregationist beliefs as a trustee. In 2020 Bill Garrett’s name went on. He broke Big Ten hoops’ color line with IU in 1948. The marker went up in 2017 www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/2...

maybe if men focused more on Their Riffs & not Tairiffs,

New story on a new device from OneCourt that is helping blind and visually impaired fans watch Blazers games via haptic feedback

my bracket!

Very annoying how people keep parroting the "republicans are good for the economy" talking point which has never been true in my entire life. Mountains of historical evidence showing that it is a lie and people just went with it because it meant tax cuts for rich people.

The Memphis Grizzlies totally revamped their offense this season to run fewer pick-and-rolls This has been written about a ton after the Taylor Jenkins firing, including by @yourmandevine.bsky.social: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/... Here it is in a visual 👇

I wrote about a developing defensive trend against the Pacers: bigs guarding non-bigs On the new-ish cross-match, the emergence of Jarace Walker and Aaron Nesmith, & how the Pacers are more often taking a chance on spreading their wing-sized wings 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/how-pa...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Whether you are out or not, just questioning, or somewhere in-between, you are valid and matter. Gender is a wonderful diverse spectrum and being ourselves makes the world a better brighter place. Support trans people on #TDOV and always. 🏳️‍⚧️

A fundamental difference between left and right wing is the idea on the left that a government's job is to care of its citizens, and the right thinks that the government's job is to make it easier for elites to exploit and use up the rest of the citizenry.

going to start calling myself a centrist and then listing all my leftist views as proof, just going to start moving the overton window by force

A bit on the Taylor Jenkins firing compared w/the last coach fired on the eve of the playoffs w/a top-4 seed, Larry Brown & the 82-83 Nets. Larry's situation was a bit different. At the time, Hubie dissed LB (via Kipp's From Julius to Jason): hoopsanalyst.com/a-closer-loo...

I LOVE REGULATION. I LOVE THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT A RESTAURANT IS SAFE TO EAT AND A PRODUCT WONT KILL ME. I WANT MORE REGULATION. I DONT WANT CORPORATIONS TO BREATHE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION.

CAN SOMEONE JUST

he's the absolute king. bill kennedy acting like he forgot dillon brooks' name 10/10 no notes

met another dude Kelly, he helped me get to the baseball cards at the flea market, Kelly had the keys

Wish I was a guy who knew the names of flowers and birds rather than every rotation player on the 1995-96 Seattle Supersonics

want sports blogs? want writers telling billionaires like @mcuban.bsky.social that they completely fucking ruined things?

I’m so jealous of Tim Walz right now. I can’t imagine how good it must feel to have Elon Musk go on TV and say that you - specifically - hurt his feelings so bad.

From Halberstam's "Breaks of the Game," in 1975, NY acquired Spencer Haywood to try to keep the dynasty going. Interestingly, they were originally trying to get Wilt out of retirement but settled on the 26 yr old Haywood. He put up 18 ppg in 4 yrs in NY but was not efficient.

March 29, 1981: Footage from Wes Unseld's final NBA game—a 138-103 win for the Washington Bullets over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Landover. Unseld, an NBA Champion in 1978 and the 1968-69 league MVP (as a rookie), played all 13 of his NBA seasons with the Bullets. 📺 WMAR-TV

we already knew the WHCA was pathetic but this is confirmation and anybody who attends this dinner is complicit with the Trump administration

do millionaire actors ever get tired of taking the sort of advertising gigs that used to go to anonymous actors who needed the money? Mountain Dew, now Ritz. Keep on crunching, they'll make more.

We all need to remember the names and faces of the Hitler boys doing this

March 28, 1995: This Scottie Pippen dunk on Charles Smith in New York. Pippen finished with 19 PTS/9 REB/8 AST for the Bulls and Michael Jordan scored a game-high 55 PTS in Chicago's 113-111 win. Patrick Ewing had 36 PTS/7 REB to lead the Knicks. 📺 MSG/WGN/TNT

Madison Square Garden banned a fan for life over a t-shirt he made criticizing Knicks owner James Dolan — even though he didn't wear the shirt to the venue. MSG won't say how they identified the fan, who suspects facial recognition played a part. www.theverge.com/news/637228/...

Wonder how many people are going to die as a result of things like endocarditis as a result of sepsis from decaying teeth.

Before going to tonight’s Indiana Pacers game I got to see, on the Georgia Street strip, an unintentionally hilarious statue and plaque for a guy who grew the NCAA men’s hoops tournament and apparently took the check to move the organization to Indy. Tom Jernstedt… admirer of ellipses

The wild game-ending sequence to Lakers-Bulls that ended with a Josh Giddey buzzer-beating halfcourt shot:

This whole thing is nuts. But that Pat Williams three was more unlikely than Giddey’s half court heave. Not that Pat made it. That he shot it.
