Passed 3K follows, so here is something I made when the NBA Board of Govs voted to keep Kings in Sacramento.

If you forgot (or never knew) the completely insane history of the Kings in Sac, take 4 minutes to watch this and have your mind blown.

It can ALWAYS be worse. 😂

Mitch McConnell’s seat at the right side of Hitler in Hell is all but wrapped up.

As long as I live, I will never forgive Mitch McConnell for both causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump.

Everyone is a title contender the day before the season starts.

Dave Lack @davelack.bsky.social · 22h

Yeah. But only a third of the teams last year were willing to do that and they all thought they had title chances, at least when the season began. 😂

I whine about the Kings a lot as part of the Kings family, but one thing they do seem willing to do is spend money.

The Sacramento Kings and DaQuan Jeffries have agreed to a deal, sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. Jeffries started 20 of 47 games played for the Hornets last season, averaging 6.7 points and 2.9 rebounds. He’s played six NBA seasons with the Kings, Rockets, Grizzlies, Knicks, and Hornets.

Haha. I mean, I love Russ. Only has one gear: overdrive. So it can’t hurt to have him as an example for the young guys, but I don’t see him making a difference in the win/loss column. But if this means they could be looking at this year as a development year, I guess that is good.

Dave Lack @davelack.bsky.social · 1d

Well THAT ought to fix everything

Kings leadership back to “let’s just put a few fun players to watch on the team and people will keep buying tickets” I see.

Out of nowhere I was reminded right now that Vlade set back the Kings by a decade by not picking Luka when everyone else in the world knew he should be the pick but Vlade thought he was smarter.

There are people in Sacramento apparently protesting something about Charlie Kirk on his birthday.

What they are protesting, I have no idea, and I don't care.

I'm just happy it is raining on them while they do it.

Frankly, I am having a hell of a time this year, really for the first time in a decade or more, getting motivated to be a fan this season.

What does Jerry think I can I latch on to, even something small, to be excited about?

Got a note on my front door yesterday from USPS saying they couldn’t deliver my envelope because $4 was now owed.

Assuming this is Trump tariff douchbaggery.

NBC News @nbcnews.com · 3d

U.S. consumers are already shouldering as much as 55% of costs due to Trump’s unprecedented gambit to impose sizable tariffs on imports, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs analysts.

U.S. consumers bearing more than half the cost of tariffs so far, Goldman Sachs says

The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.
