I need a drink and a quick decision
I don't like having an opinion on shit like this but it really feels more to me like Dundon bought the Blazers to exert political pressure on Portland than anything about the team itself
OPB@opb.org · 6d agoPortland Trail Blazers officials told city councilors the city needs to do more than just help fund a renovation of the Moda Center if it wants to assure the Blazers’ long-term presence in Oregon.
The league has to get rid of this Dundon guy. He bought the Blazers to hold the city of Portland hostage for arena money and now he's telling all of his underlings to shittalk the city so he can move to Kansas City or something. Cut this shit out or the league will be held hostage by similar ghouls.

Went on CNN to discuss UEFA's threat to boycott FIFA events after Infantino's brazen, private-equity smash-and-grab & how it would be a crime against joy itself if the 2027 women's World Cup ended up being sacrificed on the altar of FIFA greed.
Jules Boykoff@julesboykoff.bsky.social · 6d agoWould be more than a bit awkward if two hosts of the 2030 men's World Cup—Portugal & Spain—boycotted the event. And it would be a downright crime against joy if the 2027 women's World Cup was sacrificed on the altar of FIFA greed.
Tom Dundon is using a tired playbook. Looks like he's trying to get PDX to break up with him. While fans fight frustration and fatigue, I'm wondering if the NBA will take a deeper look at his investment group. Column:

Is he trying to get you to break up with him?

Truth Social is planning to sell access to Trump’s posts to Wall Street before they become public. Trump is so brazen that not only is he admitting he posts to manipulate the stock market, he’s charging Wall Street to get in on the grift.
we should all start ordering voter rolls
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · 3w agoAmong the documents released by the White House tonight is this claim that Colorado's voter registration rolls were "compromised" by China. Colorado's voter registration rolls are public records. You can order a copy here: www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/electio...
There is no way that "278,000 noncitizens" are voting in US elections, as Trump claims in his speech. Its just not physically possible, as WIRED and other outlets have consistently reported. This is a scare tactic, and it's working. And the repercussions are endless:
Election Officials Are Getting Ready for ICE to Show Up at the Polls
The Trump administration keeps threatening to send federal agents to oversee elections. State and local officials are preparing, and even gaming out what happens if they're arrested.

Hey, fellas, before you write that white hot take about how rape is such a tricky thing and, I mean, who can really say what happened and, you know, maybe we should not be too judgmental, I'd like to remind you that instead you can simply shut the fuck up.
Not sure if you happened to catch Thursday's episode of The Daily. I was interviewed and talked about the extraordinary ways President Trump and his family have monetized the White House, based on a decade of reporting on the Trump family. Please listen & share www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/p...

Which, I should note, is exactly what Mullin said he would do.
Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 4w agoAgree. We’ve been reporting lately on ICE ramping back up to 11, but the trump administration is trying to do it without Minnesota type headlines. The secret police are trying to be more… secret
Graham Platner just posted a video claiming he "intends to withdraw" and that he's "suspending" his campaign. I think he's lying. I think this is strategy. It's Nixonian. Let me explain. (thread)
In rape culture, everything a woman says means yes and nothing she says means no. This seems to assert that though she said not to come over, said no repeatedly, struggled against Platner, an ambiguous prior comment constituted irrevocable consent. Not a shocking breach not to include it.

Go-Go’s release their debut LP “Beauty and the Beat” 45 yrs ago today. “It all happened so quickly,” said Jane Wiedlin. “One minute we were playing clubs and sleeping on people’s floors, and the next minute we were the No. 1 album in America. We didn’t really have time to stop and think about it.”
