@tonyreast.bsky.social Is it a heresy if I say I don’t think the East is better? Maybe a couple of team in the East are better, maybe. Like, if we play the season on 2K with injuries off, then okay. Knicks are the same. C’s=down. Cavs=down. Pistons=down Hawks=up. Raps=up. Pacers=up Sixers same

I say this because unlike those truly strange people who seem to wish we were still on quarantine, I hated the lockdown. I was sad all the time and stressed. But I did it because it was necessary. I think that’s typical and I don’t see why it needs revisionism.

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

This is mean, but after reading the first few lines, I was suddenly thinking the sewage was better for the neighbohood than a guy named "chip"

Here in Indianapolis, DSA's lone victor in elections ever, Jesse Brown, was unendorsed by the DSA for "noxious behavior." How unserious are DSA folks? Here is the "noxious behavior" He refused conflict mediation?!? He revealed the first names of DSA members on a national DSA discord server?

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Let's be clear: it is a good thing that Platner was held responsible. As annoying as it is that Republicans allow rapists and wife beaters to run for office, we cannot sacrifice women's dignity to achieve partisan "fairness" on this front. Women matter more than partisan "fairness."

"The trove of documents contains allegations of drug use by Miller, misogyny and verbal abuse, and violent behavior against multiple women. The filings also include evidence that Miller implicitly threatened his ex-father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno." Platner was 86'd for his behavior.

*using "Islamophobia" as a catch-all for "the weird racialized set of prejudices many Americans hold against Arabs, Muslims, Middle Easterners more generally, and South Asians a lot of the time too"

“Racism is good and policy should be designed to reflect that principle,” couched in euphemism, is an acceptable opinion in the anglosphere leadership class but “racism is bad and policy should be designed to reflect that principle” is wokeness gone amok and unacceptable bsky.app/profile/okwo...

The editor in chief of The Economist referring here to the AfD’s leader as a “perfectly thoughtful person“ instead of what she truly is - a driver and enabler of German fascism - is a huge part of the problem.

Pacers are the team to beat. The Knicks can’t beat them (and they’ll have injuries all season cuz it’s the curse of the Finals). The Raps can’t shoot. The sixers cant have 2 of their 5 healthy enough to play 2-3 series Pacers are the class of the East (if healthy)

New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social where Joe Wolfond and I did the obligatory Kawhi purgatory temperature check before power ranking the East. 🏀The Raps with Kawhi can totally win the East 🏀Planting a flag on The Heat Will Suck Island 🏀Where do the Pacers slot in? youtu.be/gTupnDPAg8k

Why do folks like JD Vance and Clarence Thomas actively work to destroy the paths they used to reach elite status? Cuz they know they don't deserve it

@johnhollinger.bsky.social Question that folks like you are used to getting from folks like me, but what do you mean we don’t know what the Pacers are? I heard you today on dumped on prime and I’m baffled at that statement. He starting five was the best starting five by net rating in 2024 -25

This! MBA media, always taking the view of the team and owners, refuses to acknowledge the reason aprons and caps exist us cuz NBA owners are too stupid to control themselves. Players get 51% of BRI. In a functioning world, players would get 80% Y’all let me know when a team sells for a loss

Jason Concepcion@netw3rk.bsky.social · 6d ago

Meanwhile—is there a better example of the players being vastly underpaid than Silver saying he couldn’t plan the season until LeBron announced where he was playing

This will come as a giant surprise, but MAGA don’t care if their candidate gave a foreign government classified info or raped someone or beat their partner www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Poll: Trump’s MAGA voters would stick by a candidate through the most serious of scandals

Most of President Donald Trump’s MAGA base say they’d still vote for a GOP candidate when confronted with an array of scandals — more so than Republican voters writ large or Democrats.
