Honestly shout out to ESPN for their zero effort NBA coverage. They really just outsourced it and it’s a massive improvement 🤣

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Emperor Palpatine

xkcd.com/3157/

Comic. Scatter chart with Emperor Palpatine character age on Y axis and Ian McDiarmid age during filming on X axis. Plot with descending arrow beginning from Return of the Jedi (emperor age 90, McDiarmid age 40) → Revenge of the Sith, Attack of the Clones, and The Phantom Menace (emperor age 50-70, McDiarmid age 50-60) → The Rise of Skywalker (cloned body, undefined age) with a gradient vertical line (McDiarmid age over 70) → Now (emperor age under 10, McDiarmid age over 80). [caption] To continue the trend, they should make a Star Wars movie where 81-year-old Ian McDiarmid plays the emperor as a toddler.

Join us in wishing Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki a happy birthday!

It will be hard to top 51, but here’s hoping your 52nd is just as legendary.

Flipped past an episode of the X-Files and a lady just asked Mulder for change to use the cigarette machine and now Im wondering if today's kids would understand any of that

Incredibly, Rockets-Thunder is NBC's second-straight regular season NBA game to go double-OT. The last ever regular season game of the original run -- Lakers-Blazers in April '02 -- went 2OT.

Every time I look up at the basketball game the Rockets are getting stymied as OKC's defense looks as good as last year and then I look at the scoreboard and how does Houston have 30 points

Energy Drink Thoughts: The brand Lucky has really grown on me in recent months, even despite having to read the founder's insane origin story on every can.

The founder tells a short story about surviving a plane crash that killed his father and 135 other people.
