Starting to think I need a secondary account for (most of my) non-basketball stuff...

If the ACC Tournament started today, it would look like this

Taylor x Saniya Rivers x birthday. Well done.

Tied in Atlanta with under a minute to play. #20 Georgia Tech trying to come from behind and beat a Florida State team playing without O’Mariah Gordon or Ta’Niya Latson.

No O'Mariah Gordon or Ta'Niya Latson in the starting lineup again for FSU...

It's because too many so-called sports fans ignore women's basketball 90% of the time but...

Before lawmakers swear an oath to the Constitution, perhaps they should be required to read it

Wes Moore: "Sometimes, Tilda Trygger is too Swede-ish."

There are 4,188 hotel rooms in Cary/Raleigh/Morrisville, per the Greater Raleigh Convention & Visitors Bureau's official meeting planner guide, that are in hotels w/ ≥100 rooms and w/ ≥2500sqft of meeting space, & that doesn't count Durham or Chapel Hill...

We’re stopped because of a medical emergency in the stands.

Y’all, there’s a chance SEVENTEEN non-area teams, between men’s & women’s, could be in Triangle the weekend of March 20. NC State M hosting 1&2 rounds @ Lenovo: 7 (+ Duke men, safe assumption). Then all 3 schools are expected to host W 1&2, so that’s 9 more, 10 if 1 gets First Four pairing.

There is an NC State assistant wearing Louboutin sneakers for the second time (that I’ve noticed) this season and I am SO here for it. Helps that they’re the right colors…

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

That part.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

S/o to the girl at Reynolds with the sign “it’s my birthday, I’m feeling 22,” which managed a triple message of birthday, Taylor Swift and Saniya Rivers.

Reynolds is photogenic AF, and it is getting its moment today, y'all.

Greetings from inside Reynolds Coliseum, where we’re about 15 minute from College GameDay and an hour and 15 minutes from tipoff between #1 Notre Dame and #13 NC State.

It turns out my expectations of marathon cheering were set at a rather high bar with the first ones I ever cheered at being Boston.

Once again, “pro-life” party my a**.

Halftime here at Cameron and it's Journey League basketball, a league for people with special needs. They did full intros. I love it. PS: the uniforms are giving Will Ferrell/Semi-Pro vibes (complimentary).

If you're looking at the Pitt/FSU score confused as to why it's so close, neither O'Mariah Gordon or Ta'Niya Latson are playing. Latson is missing her second-straight game with injury. Not sure on Gordon.

Raise your hand if it's 31 degrees out and you got halfway to the game before realizing you didn't have a coat. It me. Oops.

No one is actually surprised, right?

Seems appropriate to drink Michigan whiskey when it looks like Michigan winter outside in North Carolina.

Doot, doot, doo, lookin' out my back door…

Me looking for all the “don’t tread on me” and “We the People” stickers to stand up and do something…

REJECT THEIR FRAMING: it hasn’t even save $16 billion considering how much those positions contributed to the economy. For example, “In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity”. So ask how much money we are losing with these cuts.

HYPED for Mitch to get this shot. Also, he gets stuck sitting next to me entirely too much, based on the photos in this piece.

Getting our kitchen back, presumably so the workpeople can (rightly) try to beat the weather home. That's one stressor gone, at least.

This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.

The second most shocking thing is the perfect headline from AP

Big kid is home because of probable weather, they’re painting my kitchen (to deal with a ceiling leak repair, not voluntary) so I don’t have a kitchen today and there’s the aforementioned weather so food delivery might not be available. Today should be interesting.

Just a reminder that the senate can impeach department heads.

If RFK Jr. actually cared about medication safety he would have worked to empower the FDA. Instead he is gutting the FDA and proposing that untested therapies be available (sold - it all comes down to profiting off their positions of power) to the public with no protections in place.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Hey, Missouri, maybe fix your 19th-worst maternal mortality rate first…

The idiots realize they have to eat too, right?
