Is DeRozan the best non-winning player of his generation?
By non-winning I don’t mean no rings, I mean a player who cannot be part of a contender.

I wouldn’t even call it socialism. Mamdani and AOC are what we used to call New Deal Democrats.

Beautifully written essay. But this paragraph confused me.
Does Anand Giridharadas actually believe these stupid, shallow aholes have a shred of merit?
Or does “merito-aristocracy” mean something else?

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Fast-casual salad chain Sweetgreen is struggling as its traffic and sales continue to fall and it reports millions in losses each quarter.
The company hasn’t figured out how to turn a profit.

Give Ajax more minutes as long as Giannis is out. Please.
It’s not going to help us win, mind you. But at least we get to see a couple rad above the rim plays each game.

Phoenix is a great basketball city. So I guess I’m happy that they have a functional roster that plays with intensity and joy.
On the other hand, I hope Dillon Brooks catches diarrhea and we beat them by 30 next time.

I think Doc literally forgot about Myles.
Doc has our best rebounder and best defender on the bench for overtime when he has played less minutes total this game then he averages in regulation and we are in overtime

As trust in ICE’s statements quickly melts away, I’m hoping some of the skepticism will spill over into normal cop reporting.
Could it be that one day the Strib will not just straight up print press releases from MPD? I know it’s a lot to ask but a boy can dream.

So it’s quite notable that local elected officials were directly lied to repeatedly that this was not an ICE raid.

Ever wonder why Cabaret is set in a cabaret?
“The Dallas-area suburb was — in an effort to comply with new presidential executive orders — considering eliminating the city’s protections for LGBTQ+ people that prohibit employers and any business providing accommodation from discriminating against them.”
LGBTQ+ rights are eroding in Texas under a pressure campaign
Conservative activists argue they’re protecting women and rebalancing the law that Democrats tilted in favor of LGBTQ+ people.

Honest question: is it normal for the coastal elites to immediately call their agents when their partner/spouse is stepping out?
