Remember the internet is not real life, and most fights happening here don’t exist on most people’s radar. I suspect most Stevens voters will vote D but we’ll need all of them and some to secure the seat. And if a El-Sayed voter being mean on the internet causes you to stay home, rethink your life

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 7h ago

Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick

The stock market is such a joke and I hate when the media talks about it as if it’s representative of the economy. Inflation is ridiculous, everything is much more expensive, housing is out of control and interest rates crushing families, but hey, the DOW is up so things must be great 🙄

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

enough of this shit

Angel Reese being second on this list in just her second season says a lot. People can debate her game all they want, but you can’t fake production. Night after night she’s putting up points, snatching rebounds, and showing her tenacity. She’s a dawg and you can’t teach that 💪🏾 #WNBA

I mean, I reject the premise about superheroes. But if true, can we please get a Red Rising adaptation???

Tim Marchman@timmarchman.bsky.social · 2w ago

Superheroes are dead now, so Hollywood has no choice but to stage incredibly elaborate adaptations of unfilmable science fiction classics. The masses need The Book of the New Sun!

Can’t wait to see a healthy Pacers team back in action. I think they’ll be fighting with Cleveland, Philly, and Boston (maybe Miami) for the 3-6 seeds in the East. Doesn’t mean they can’t get hot in the playoffs, but the East is actually deep again.

iPacers.com - Derek Kramer@ipacers.bsky.social · 2w ago

I guess Obi will be throwing Hali lobs now. Seems the recovery has gone well. 👀

It would almost certainly fail, and yet, it couldn’t be worse than whatever strategy the Kings and Pelicans are implementing. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Basketball Fan, of the Sixers and LeBron James lmao!@drewhamm5.bsky.social · 2w ago

Daryl Morey is punching air that he couldn’t convince the Sixers to let him do this

Very interesting question and chart. I’d say best player is Maxey. Player who gets the last shot (the most) will likely be Brown. Most important player will be Embiid (health). But it’s crazy how dominant Lebron has been for so long, and how Maxey and Brown have just barely passed his lows.

Mike Vorkunov@mikevorkunov.bsky.social · 2w ago

Who is the best player on the Sixers right now? Kind of an interesting question here

Not sure how much he has left, but still a solid piece off the bench. Experienced 3 and D player, added to Simons and Wade. Not sure what their big men look like behind Embiid yet, but that’s the last piece.

Adam Aaronson@adamaaronson.bsky.social · 2w ago

The Sixers are reportedly heading towards a deal with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, a starter on two title-winning teams with ties to LeBron James and Klutch Sports. The question: how will the Sixers fit his salary in? The pathways are explained here: www.phillyvoice.com/kentavious-c...

Being quick to say “Philly still won’t win the championship” doesn’t mean anything. Winning a championship is hard and if you had to take any team vs the field, you’d almost always take the field. You just sound like a hater, and not one of the smarter ones.

Definitely did not have “Will Lebron come off the bench” as a question that anyone would be asking today 😂

Lego Dolemite 🏴🚩@psychoalpastor.bsky.social · 2w ago

My question is what role LeBron is going to take up for the Sixers. 6th man? Or is he gonna play the 4 position and give up shots in exchange for more rebounding?

This shouldn’t make the 76ers a championship favorite. But it does make them a real contender. The spurs, OKC, and the Knicks should still have the best odds at the start of the season, but as we’ve seen the last couple years, the East is open if you get hot at the right time.

People saying the 76ers have no depth aren’t paying attention. They have two starting caliber players on their bench in Simons and Wade, plus they can stagger the minutes of 4 all stars throughout the game. No, they aren’t as deep as OKC, but 8-10 can give you spot minutes and Philon has potential

Yes, health is always a question, but you can’t call yourself a basketball fan if you’re not excited to see what happens here.

Sean@flyingwalruss.bsky.social · 2w ago

My favorite team, the Philadelphia 76ers

So who should Philly play on Christmas? Boston, LA, or the Knicks?

Now we’re going to see all the bitter fans of rejected teams (who were just begging for LeBron to come) team up with all the LeBron haters to make arguments like: He’s washed anyways, That team won’t even make the playoffs, This is embarrassing ring chasing, I’m glad we avoided the circus 😂😂😂😂😂

From a basketball fit, this was my first choice for Lebron. The only problem is Embiids health, like always. I love the NBA and can’t wait for the season to start.

Shams Charania Tweets@shamsbot.bsky.social · 2w ago

BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, Klutch Sports Group and Klutch CEO and Game Over show host Rich Paul tells ESPN.

Absolutely! This is why when moderate and 3rd way democrats complain that progressives give republicans campaign ammunition, I just roll my eyes. It doesn’t matter who we nominate, the GOP will paint them as a communist that wants to turn all kids trans. So FOH with what they might say about us.

Kelly@justkelly.bsky.social · 2w ago

Republicans ran on litter boxes in school bathrooms and people eating pets. You think TRUTH is a limiting factor? They ALREADY say all Democrats are communists.

Kyle Kuzma may have the strangest political beliefs in the nba and that is saying SOMETHING

Kuz is on twitter saying suburban lawns use more water than data centers.

I’m reading The City We Became @nkjemisin.bsky.social and I guess I’m feeling less bad about the Knicks winning the championship 😂 A true testament to her writing abilities.

Can we please stop the summer league overreactions. Yes, the top picks look great, and that’s generally better than them looking bad, but summer league isn’t for them. It’s for the guys fighting for a roster spot. Remember Wembys debut? Unimpressive. Look at him now. Let’s see real minutes first.

Note that they do have an iPhone version now as well. The article is from March and says it might come out.

I have been expressing desire for an app that alerts me to the presence of pervert glasses in my vicinity. It exists and it's called Nearby Glasses! Immediate download.

Hot Take (that shouldn’t be hot): I do not give a fuck about Black excellence. Jay-Z got a seat at the table in the NFL & players still can’t take a knee for Black Lives. He’s “in the room” with Target & they still ain’t reinstate DEI. I care about the black collective and liberation for all.

This woman has no political experience and isn’t even remotely qualified for the job, but hey, she was close to her brother so give her a shot 🙄 And the GOP wants to convince everyone else that DEI is the blocker to a meritocracy.

This is the first I’m hearing that people think the Lakers won’t make the playoffs. The problem with their offseason moves isn’t that they are bad in the abstract, it’s that they don’t put them at OKC or SA’s level. But no move was going to do that. Lakers should still be a top 6 seed in the west.

Kanin Allsup@kaninallsup.bsky.social · 3w ago

Call me crazy, but I think the Lakers’ roster looks solid. Carr has a high ceiling, they have good depth, Luka & Reaves are still a dynamic offensive duo, Kessler is an upgrade defensively from Ayton Casuals (Bron stans) think they won’t make the playoffs, but I think they’ll surprise a lot of fans

Sauron, the dark lord of Mordor, is an all-consuming monster whose life's mission is to make the world worse for everybody but himself. And I wish him a speedy recovery from his recent health scare. Can't wait to see you on the battlefield again, old friend.

This is how our democratic leaders sound every time. Somehow always concerned about norms when it comes to extremists trying to strip others of basic rights.

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.
