Watching the Blazers go up by 55 in 480i. Six minutes to play. Has a team ever led by as many points as the resolution they broadcast in (in the Seattle area). We might get there!

This is an awesome read. Hard to overstate how much of a sex symbol Big Country became during that final four run.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age. This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO. Docs to come.

its weird seeing the tech bros going all-in on "return to office" bc working from home in jobs where its possible is actually the exact kinda thing we were promised tech would do for us to make our lives better

I can. In fact, the Canadian version is so great, I can't think of an American equivalent. 🧵

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

February 4, 2000: Portland’s Rasheed Wallace slams home the lob pass from Steve Smith in Atlanta. The Trail Blazers beat the Hawks, 97-90, and improved to 35-11 on the season. 📺 NBA Action

While you were busy dreaming up fake trades, the Blazers won for the eighth time in nine games. No, really. Portland 121, Phoenix 119 (OT). Deandre Ayton 25 points, 20 rebounds. Fittingly, Suns couldn't rebound a free throw on game's final play.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

How much of an absolute nightmare must Luka be off the court for the Mavs to make that move.

SHAEDON SHARPE, ARE YOU KIDDING?!

Love this podcast so much. Learning stuff shouldn’t be this much fun.

Buncha weak ass little boys, afraid of folks puttin' pronouns in their email signatures. Grow the hell up.

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

My hottest take is that every Dem in Congress over the age of 70 should announce now they're retiring at the end of their term. That doesn't solve it all, but it'll open space for the next generation - and thanks to the bench we've built, there are incredible leaders in every state ready to go.

NEW: A far-right evangelical is looking to get members of Congress to join his ministry... His anti-LGBTQ+, anti-abortion ministry. I found a Democratic member of Congress who's helping him:

we never should’ve given power to the nerds. the jocks shouldn’t have it either. we must usher in the age of the goths

Second try at making baguettes. Last time I think I overworked the dough during shaping and they were more like breadsticks. Hoping for better results this time.

Random thought I had watching a few recent Blazers game: Portland is going to have an interesting decision to make when Grant comes back. Enjoying this starting 5 w/ Deni (playing really well) in his place. Roll with the youth, says I

Brutal Kraken loss in the final minute at Winnipeg tonight.

Nix to Franklin! Let’s go rocky mountain ducks!

This game is desperately in need of some helmet logos.
