New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

I have a theory for why LeBron keeps playing basketball. I think he likes playing basketball! That's the entire theory.

NBA offseason grades: Which teams had best trades, signings, deals?

We hand out grades for every NBA team after a busy offseason of trades and deals. Who passed, and who scraped by?

I’ve made it 31 minutes, and I’m not sure I’ve got anymore in me.

The most powerful man in the world with the most powerful intelligence apparatus in the world insists the 2020 election was stolen but can still not provide one shred of evidence for it. If anyone could prove it, he could.

As much as I like both players, I’m starting to get a little wary of the Duren / Ausar pairing long term.

What’s the latest on Jalen Duren’s contract negotiations? What led to the Isaiah Stewart trade? Are the Pistons done making moves? After nearly a week in Vegas for summer league, here’s what I’m hearing about Detroit: www.nytimes.com/athletic/744...

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

USA Basketball is expected to name Oklahoma City's Mark Daigneault, Detroit's JB Bickerstaff and Gonzaga's Mark Few as assistant coaches for national team coach Erik Spoelstra's staff, sources tell ESPN.

Federal and state health officials are reportedly investigating whether Taco Bell restaurants played a role in one of the largest U.S. outbreaks of an illness that causes explosive diarrhea

Cyclosporiasis, the parasite causing the current explosive diarrhea outbreak, is at a level 20x higher than its yearly average. This comes just 1 year after the Trump admin removed a cyclospora tracking mandate from the 'Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.'

I love all the shooting the #Pistons have added but at the same time am a little disappointed they didn’t add a dynamic wing to help take the load off Cade. How are you all feeling about the offseason?

Quinten Post's offer sheet will come out of the Non-Taxpayer MLE for the Grizzlies, if the Warriors don't match. That means that Memphis will likely tie the Isaiah Stewart acquisition into the Santi Aldama trade. Expect that one to ultimately be a four- or five-team deal.

ESPN doesn’t like the Pistons offseason thus far.

Unc’s gonna get a championship before the Pistons.

“It was for Paul George and two firsts.”

Over the last 4 seasons, Celtics had a 35-7 record when Jayson Tatum was available without Jaylen Brown. They were 51-26 when Brown was available without Tatum.

I’m not as high on Jaylen Brown as many are, but yikes. That situation must have been toxic for that return to work.

The Pistons didn’t get better, and things are getting crazy around them.
