Glad the Pacers have Zubac, but if that GTJ deal is what it looks like, him taking a below-market contract helped MIL sign Turner(albeit to a contract that hasn’t aged well), leading the Pacers to overpay (via trade) for Zubac with another team that is also being investigated for shenanigans.
Since Indiana’s near-total abortion ban in 2022, Republican lawmakers have championed baby boxes as a solution to crisis pregnancies. Monica Kelsey has built a $4.4 million empire creating these devices. She calls them “mercy made tangible.” Critics say they’re unsafe: https://bit.ly/4rJ3JCM

rahaeli@rahaeli.bsky.social · last yr.The fact congressional Democrats have not hired three dozen D&D rules lawyers with oppositional defiant disorder and turned them loose on parliamentary procedure with the goal of maximum obstruction is such a fucking missed opportunity
Look, I know I'm a progressive so maybe I have a blind spot here, but one of the most consistent patterns in American politics of my lifetime is a GOP president running the country into a ditch, then a Dem spending all their capital picking up the pieces, and the cycle continues...
@schumer.senate.gov what are you doing to address the Lakers doing this shit again
Kid came in to my room this morning telling me that school had a 2-hour delay because Google AI said so. It was wrong. He is now radicalized for the Butlerian Jihad.

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 2y agoBREAKING: Here is the anti-trans sex/gender executive order. It's extensive, it's bad, and it's often lawless. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

If "the rule of law is dead" no resistance matters beyond performance art, and that's just not a thing we have the luxury of conceding.

Erica Wilkinson@everywhereerica.bsky.social · 2y agoI don't know how many of y'all are watching the migration of American TikTokers to RedNote, but it's the most fascinating thing I've EVER SEEN HAPPEN ONLINE. 🧵
Every podcast I don’t listen to is called “Achieving the Limit with Duff and Ween” and gets sold for 300 million dollars while every podcast I do listen to is called “The Movie Toilet” and begs me to buy a t shirt so they can eat food

@pauldehnerjr.bsky.social · 2y agoEpic gift alert: Joe Burrow gifted his offensive linemen authentic Japanese Katana swords. Each sword comes with its own story, from certain towns or battles. He put them in a room and each picked one. LT Orlando Brown: “The fact that he bought me a sword, it’s the most ancient form of respect.”
