The Athletic@theathletic.com · 12h agoThe NBA has come down hard on the LA Clippers as it finally announced the results of its investigation into the organization and its star, Kawhi Leonard. The Clippers will lose five first-round picks and are being fined $30 million. More details: nyti.ms/4dbic51
what’s the funniest band that could at one time realistically be called “the biggest band in the world!”
great job security for Ty Lue as the Clippers will not have a single young player on the roster for the next ten years
One of those things you were pretty sure was true but now you have causal quantiative evidence in the American Economic Review: business schools trained CEOs to pay workers less in pursuit of maximizing shareholder value www.aeaweb.org/conference/2...
Pink Floyd moving to France so they can make enough money to pay their back taxes without going to prison for back taxes
D.J. WEED PIZZA@djweedpizza.gobirds.online · 12h agolol at Kawhi basically expatriating to the Raptors to avoid legal trouble
One time, early in his career, Lawrence Frank insisted on me following his car to the GW Bridge in a driving rainstorm because he feared otherwise I'd get lost. This was shortly after I explained The Electoral College to him. True story. I'm gonna give him a pass on this Clippers fiasco.
there’s such an embarrassing lack of dignity involved in working for these bozos
Polygon@polygon.com · 13h agoThe Russo Brothers justified filming 'Avengers: Doomsday' with an unfinished script, citing their background in improvisational comedy.
Uncle Dennis getting a blanket “get the fuck out of here” ban for five years lolol
This is a completely fabricated Twitter post based on absolutely no sourcing. There is extensive reporting over months that Driscoll resigned because Hegseth was ripping the Army apart. I am begging some of you to practice even a minimum level of media literacy.
You know what sure, let's give these guys $1.5 trillion next year like they want, what could go wrong
Daniel Drezner@dandrezner.bsky.social · 18h ago"Current and former defence officials have described Hegseth as consumed by paranoia, personal insecurity and even jealousy, angered when the spotlight falls on others such as Driscoll."
Locke's theories of property, labor, and land use have been key ingredients for driving everyone insane over the last ~350 years
Evan Washington@eewash.bsky.social · 14h agoLocke's property theory makes a lot more sense if you replace "labor" with "mana" and realize he's just describing his own idiosyncratic magic system for his fanfic

Rahm Emanuel getting fluffed by Rolling Stone reminds me that his brother is "super-agent" Ari Emanuel, who unquestionably has strings to pull with any news outlet that covers entertainment

I mean, what we've actually conclusively established is that Xi socked away a truly shocking amount of crude oil and petroleum products.
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 16h agowe've been at tank bottoms for literally weeks now and apparently that doesn't matter, because as we've now pretty conclusively established: donald trump is the world's specialest boy and it can only good happen
HBO just released a new trailer for counting to 100. I know I'm supposed to have outgrown it, but it feels so magical to see all my old friends again: 7, 20, 5, and this time they even managed to include 22.
Warrior season 2 is one of the great experiences of my life
Stella Sacco@antlervel.vet · 17h agoAnyone who has seen Warrior knows why I will be seated for any garbage they put Andrew Koji in, including the Street Fighter movie

Obnoxious take but I think it has some validity: I completely understand why MacKenzie Scott is spending money on practical causes, but I really fucking wish she'd buy the LA Times and 100 local newspapers and TV stations instead, because $26 billion buys a lot of fucking leverage
a fun activity is 'try to come up with a political philosophy taylor-made for justifying settler colonialism' and then check out locke's work on private property

Seems like the plan -- or at least one of the plans -- is to make it as difficult as possible for states to send ballots out, then get courts to rule that late-arriving ballots can't be counted.
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 2d agothis is correct: the USPS rule is about mailing *to* voters (not *from*) we have an explainer on this! boltsmag.org/mail-voting-...
“USPS officials confirmed it was possible that one ballot with a bad barcode or wrong voter information within the more than 2 million ballots could delay the entire mailing, according to two people who attended the related committee meeting.”
