a surreal pleasure to cover an NBA Finals that ended in a Knicks win. took a few angles on it: KAT's calm, New Yorkers' anti-calm after the OG tip-in, the print media boom, a trip to San Antonio to witness fan lunacy and a Brunson classic
The insistence on using caps lock even in this situation should be entered into evidence at The Hague

Raise your kid to watch movies that are half as old as he is. Start off with old movies and then every year your kid will be watching newer and newer movies. Stack those on top of each other. Soon your kid is watching movies that haven’t been made yet. You have now changed and manipulated time
Zaki Hasan@zakiscorner.bsky.social · 3mo agoMan, this is such a nihilistic take. Forget Lord of the Rings. My kids have watched The Wizard of Oz. The Godfather. Planet of the Apes. TONS of classics that are quite a bit older than 30 years, and they’ve enjoyed and appreciated them all.
i cannot recommend defector, this role, and the people you'll get to work with enough. i miss them already.

They should rename the tournaments to March Mindfulness. Like and share if you agree
Just so I have this right: The guys who built careers off “Argh, the internet is consolidated and we’re too online!” now have ideas on how to make a specific app blast more information at people?
