Very well-done and well-researched video with a lot of background on Tom Dundon's path to owning the Blazers, that I sat for an interview for a month ago. Worth checking out now that it's out buff.ly/GPqfZxx
The NBA's newest owner might just ruin the league
Tom Dundon purchased the Portland Trail Blazers at a valuation of $4.25 billion dollars. What he's done next may well challenge the NBA's status quo - and not necessarily in a good way. Find out how,…

amidst all the usual post-2020 bullshit here where A Big Group Of Local Heavy-Hitters Pretends To Be Progressive And All Of Their Solutions Are “Give Money To Cops, Elect Conservatives, And Euthanize The Homeless” it was at least nice to see someone who got duped realize it and immediately drop out
Portland Mercury@portlandmercury.com · last wk.A new coalition, Go Portland Go, which filed as a political action committee (PAC) with the state in April, says it is pooling resources behind “leaders who can actually run a progressive city.”
The Clippers are like the portrait of Dorian Gray for the Lakers only they are out In plain sight for all to see.
RipCity Keith 🏀@ripcitykeith.bsky.social · 5d agoSo I'm glad they finally punished Ballmer, but is it weird that the only times we see Silver hold someone to account is when its the Clippers franchise?

can they induct Pablo Torre into the NBA hall of fame?
I just find all Potter diehards insane at this point. I've spent years now wondering if there could ever be a book -- or movie, or show -- that is so good, it could convince me to just become a bigot and abandon some friends. There just isn't. It's not possible. That's insane.
The Verge@theverge.com · 5d agoAs a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
Fuuuuuuuck youuuuuuu cheaterrrrrrrrrrrs I know they're different but the level of joyous surprise I'm feeling as I read this is not unlike watching a nazi get punched 1 point for justice
Shams Charania Tweets@shamsbot.bsky.social · 5d agoBREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian
"Investigating podcast allegations" in the first line Clippers are a joke
Justin Russo@flybyknite.bsky.social · 5d agoThe LA Clippers have said that the following letter has been sent to Adam Silver, on behalf of the LA Clippers:
Kawhi got paid millions under the table to do nothing and is only being fined $700k
This happened even before I ran for office when I talked about it ok TikTok. It’s threatening to realize someone with no mental health/drug issues became homeless because that means it can happen to anyone. It also shows all the potential lost when we don’t care for our neighbors.
Got trained on administering it at work, and I advise literally everyone to do the same. Be one of the Helpers that you heard about as a kid. It's not hard.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · last wk.New York, here’s how you can save a life: 1. Go to nyc.gov/naloxone to get free overdose-reversal medication, also known as Narcan®. 2. If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, call 988 for confidential recovery resources.
Look hipsters, I'm telling you. Olivia Rodrigo is a real one.
Sumita Pahwa@sumitapahwa.bsky.social · last wk.There were forty five thousand people there, about 80% women. Stars performed for free. $10 million raised from ticket sales, and Melinda Gates showed up to double it.
"Oh, the WNBA is too dramatic, that shouldn't be a league" has now been bouncing around my brain for a week now, probably started the ball rolling on a very strong future tumor.
Ian Rapoport@rapsheet.bsky.social · last wk.The NFL is placing Broncos pass-rusher Jonathan Cooper on the Commissioner’s Exempt list, taking him off the field because of two incidents involving a former girlfriend. Cooper faces five charges including second-degree assault, which is a felony.
Trump’s obscene corruption is therefore a symptom of what is broken in our politics and in our economic and social system. Revealing his abuses and holding him accountable is therefore essential to our hopes of restoring equity, decency, opportunity and the rule of law in our society.
These are directly tied to the grotesque political and economic inequality in our country, to the central issue in American politics today: That our system is rigged, that it does not work for most of us, that it benefits the few at our expense.
No president would ever again be seen as above reproach, others might succumb to the temptations of translating great power into profit. At the same time, the corruption of the Court and the Congress must be revealed and they too must be held accountable. So too must be oligarchs and…
…against pursuing the investigations, impeachment, and prosecutions. That would be a fatal error for American democracy. He must be exposed and what he has done painstakingly detailed or we will essentially ratify and institutionalize his transformation of our government into a mafia state.
TL;DR Get your rain coats out. Fall arrives early this year for the Pacific Northwest. A welcome (for now) change to the weather pattern this week. A true frontal system with ample rain and wind will arrive Wednesday and linger Thursday.
Dundon was like “do we have any old uniforms we can use?” Jokes aside these are probably my all time favorite jerseys. I’m psyched to see them back.
Ricardo@rumorama.bsky.social · last wk.Let's go!! ❤️🖤
Home Depot having flock cameras is such a fucking bummer. Might as well hang up a fucking Nazi flag.
1. the 1381 Peasant’s Revolt was real. it was! it’s a fascinating historical socialist event. 2. Robin Hood, the made-up fake fictional character, was not involved in it at all. 3. producers slapped his name on this to sell it, like “A Knives Out Story” was slapped on Glass Onion. 4. I’m annoyed!
Pete Fraser@petefrasermusic.bsky.social · last wk.Film as an industry is so weird - they take these incredible, hyper intelligent, boundlessly hard working creatives, give them the resources to realise the vision they’ve described, then do everything in their power to sabotage it. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/au...
damn he ain’t even played one game in portland and ja’s already a moon guy
