wrote about the Luka trade three times. this is #3 t.co/VyK2fLnBqY

favorite thing ive read on the trade by @wilmes.bsky.social basketball.realgm.com/analysis/279...

I think a good distinction is made by asking yourself if you really need to know about some “news” story or if you’re just feeding the bullshit factory by paying attention

Rockets/Pistons day game is the exact sweet spot for my basketball sicko palette

maybe next weekend

i would like to see a team win a game by playing amazingly instead of just fucking up significantly less than the other one

been a bad weekend for every team i've rooted for

i actually think it's bc they work really hard on the algorithm and UX

THE ROOM NEXT DOOR (2024)

they should re-legalize defense in professional football

tiktok was a social media platform for losers. this one is too, along with all of the others

The lions are cool

ppl who think US is banning tiktok bc it's "too radical" or whatever: be serious. more ppl get dumber on there than smarter—same as here, probably—and they've got ops infiltrating the space. it's getting banned for the same reason all US social media is banned in china; doesn't make anyone here rich

Malice in the Palace II

the eastern conference is back

A small thing in light of this shitty news, but it would be lovely if today were the day this GoFundMe for TWIN PEAKS actor Carel Struycken and his wife, who lost their home in the Eaton Fire, reached its target www.gofundme.com/f/support-ca...

I see that people with “Marxist” in their profile are now falling for naked Republican signal-mixing. resentment of the democrats is not an ideology, folks

these companies knew what they were doing: manufacturing a sense of doom, and prioritizing that over good business for a few years. the long game—getting rid of an FTC and SEC that actually did a few things—will be worth it to them. but it's also just "what they like to do"

My dad studied this dynamic, and published a bunch of research on it, for yrs. Was titled “Does Diversity Pay?” His conclusion was that corporations do more business, not less, when they have more diverse workforces.
