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. 😂

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.

I just remembered I made a video of the tour we did of the Golden 1 Center with my 3D camera. haha

The "Super Fans" haha

Some folks got really mad at us

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?

Dave Lack @davelack.bsky.social · 1d

Oh shit. I thought I tagged you but I only wrote your name. I'm still recuperating from 3 days at Disneyland. haha

Hey John, remember when the Sacramento Kings future seemed so bright? 😂

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 · 2d

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.

You wanna play games Texas Republican Politicians?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Californians are voting only to allow CA to match GOP dirty district maps to counter GOP gerrymandering.

Californians, we all agree gerrymandering is bad in general but this is needed now for fairness. VOTE

Must watch on our food supplies.

I am glad this video is going viral. There's a reason I only go out to eat a few times a year and only at specific restaurants.

I have always been disappointed by Sacramento pushing trendy chefs versus entire restaurants that are farm to fork and pay living wages

DeMar is calling his agent right now saying, “I thought you said this would be a retirement home? Get me somewhere that I can rest more while on the court.”

From last night's postgame presser, Doug Christie said the starters picked up 94 feet 30% of the time. Their goal is 85%.

"30 percent is just not enough."

This is heartbreaking. Our troops & their families should never be in this position.

The Speaker must call us back to ensure our military service members including the 74,000 in WA get paid next week.

New plan for Kings.

Start and play all the young guys.

Trade all the old guys for Giannis.

Dave Lack @davelack.bsky.social · 6d

Thank you! It was a pretty exciting time for us when we got to keep our team.
