Surely there’s nothing concerning about multiple NBA franchises being flipped this month.
Every day is another announcement about how mRNA vaccines can cure cancer and every day is another day of the lackeys of the richest people whom ever existed trying to convince you vaccines are the greatest threat to human history. Wonder why they’re doing that.

@teamziller.bsky.social wrote this genius line this morning in GMIB about the Jaylen Brown trade… and Bill Simmons just said on his live pod that he was actually having a colonoscopy yesterday when the trade happened. The basketball gods are fucking hilarious.
