5 years ago: “An incalculable loss” Today: Banning masks and restricting vaccine access

I've never seen it so well put before.

For those wonder: Here's the crazy thing with Bill Russell "only" making All-NBA First Team three times: Three of the years Russell was named NBA MVP, he was named to the All-NBA Second Team: 1957-58 1960-61 1961-62 Not really sure how much sense that makes, but that's what happened!

You've heard the outlier 3-point shooting discussion, here's the comeback one... BOSTON CELTICS - Leading by 16+ in the 2nd half. This series: 0-2 Previous 59: 59-0

25 for 100 = 0-2 26 for 100 = 1-1 28 for 100 = 2-0

Sorry but that was pure grifting, kicked left leg out to try and get a call, fell down selling it, and gave them an easy leakout.

David Adelman is about to be the only coach in NBA history with more playoff wins than regular-season wins.

April 30, 2000: Jason Williams with a no-look, behind-the-head pass to Nick Anderson during Game 3 of the Kings' first round playoff series with the Lakers. Williams had 10 PTS/5 AST and Chris Webber had 29 PTS/14 REB/8 AST as Sacramento avoided elimination with a 99-91 win.

61 wins. 61 jerseys. ☘️

Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are IN tonight. Jrue Holiday is OUT

Orlando Magic beat Atlanta Hawks in play-in, will face Celtics in opening round playoff series www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2025/04/15/o...

As the Celtics close the season with two games against Charlotte, their playoff path could be locked in as early as 10pm tonight. We're expecting the Atlanta/Orlando winner, then New York-Detroit to be the Celtics' half of the East bracket...here's how that would happen...

10. 10 years. We’ve come a LONG way. April 9, 2015 our Autism journey officially began after meeting with the nicest neurodevelopmental pediatrician you could ever hope for. (1st: L from diagnosis day, R from recent).

Is Luke Kornett going to be too expensive for the Boston Celtics? Check out my conversation with @keithsmithnba.bsky.social breaking down Luke Kornet's value, the moves the Celtics would need to make to stay under the second apron, and whether it's all worth it. Watch: youtu.be/8lDebVY5Y-c

Today is World Autism Awareness Day (every day in our house). I stumbled across this great video. Watch if you can: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezv8...

This is a great thread. 10/10 please read.

I absolutely love this analogy...

Disabled friends, a message for you. You're not broken. The world is. If you take a working battery and put it in a broken appliance, the appliance won't work. But the battery isn't the problem. Don't let anyone convince you that you're the problem when the world is obviously a VERY broken place. ❤️

At some point people got stop being fucking stupid. There is decades of science to consult, doctors to call. Why the fuck are you listening to RFK Jr??

EXCLUSIVE: Tonight at the Kennedy Center, Guster brought on cast members from Finn, an LGBTQ+ kids musical that was recently canceled when Trump took over the center. They performed the band’s song “Hard Times” to a standing ovation. Full story, exclusive quotes and video on The Handbasket:

Jayson Tatum listed only as DOUBTFUL for tomorrow vs. Phoenix. He hasn't been ruled out entirely, even though he likely won't play

Love this. www.espn.com/womens-colle...

The Trump Regime has deleted DOJ guidance to businesses on complying with the Americans With Disabilities Act. 25% of Americans live with a disability. Trump cannot delete the ADA, and he cannot delete disabled Americans. We are not going back to asylums and sanitariums.

Well this is gonna be a hoot. @themountaingoats.bsky.social

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!
