Someone got the half court shot at the rockets game for $25k!

The way Steven Adams just picks up Keldon Johnson lol #Spurs

Opinion | Our democracy is in peril. That’s why it’s more important than ever that progressives not give me reasons to be cranky toward them.

The State Department claimed a plan to buy thousands of armored Teslas was left over from the Biden administration. A document obtained by NPR shows the Biden plan was far smaller.

Twigs went fucking crazy this album is the best. One of my favorites right here from the album open.spotify.com/track/3E0FBv...

This moment continues to feel like February 2020 for fascism: smart people who pay attention are freaking out, your average sea cucumber-like American is either totally unaware or blithely assuming everything will Be Fine.

Ridiculous song open.spotify.com/track/2Km8hI...

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

I regret* to inform you that @propublica.org has updated our DOGE tracker again with a bunch more names: projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do... *delight

wearing sunglasses, doing drugs, wielding a chainsaw recklessly…there’s not a thing on this earth that Elon Musk can’t make seem uncool.

you love to see it. gov hochul comes out strong.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

@adamfrank4.bsky.social listening to your talk on colonizing asteroids with Frasier Cain from a couple years ago, and I was curious if there was anything more recent that you could point me to? Thanks!

Reposting from The Ringer: Welcome to NBA Expansion Week!!! We’ll be examining all the possibilities for and complications involved in the league expanding beyond 30 teams, plus reminiscing about some expansion teams of the past. 🧵 ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Alaskans lost millions after a state-backed deal with a seafood company went south. Our investigation reveals that state leaders and the management firm they hired ignored or overlooked warning signs leading up to the deal. With @adn.com and Northern Journal

Needs to happen asap

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Urbanism folks, I'm in the Houston area and have been wanting to dabble in developing smaller properties with smaller starter homes... Anyone else doing this or know local people/orgs who might be able to mentor or give advice?

I love my library. I go in there like 10 minutes a week since it's so efficient, scoop the books they have on hold for me and my youngest and I'm back out! Use hoopla and Libby apps for audio books at night too! #booktok 📚

Trump claimed that DOGE has uncovered billions in “fraud, waste, and abuse.” However, no evidence has been provided, and all public fraud claims from both Elon Musk and Trump have been debunked as false.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Just do no fouls and let dope shit happen and move on #rockets

Man I love Dillon Brooks hahaha

I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

Now is the best time ever to support companies like @signal.org and independent journalism like @propublica.org

Amen Thompson. Good player.

Is the enough #moss🟢

Shameful and murderous www.propublica.org/article/trum...
