LeBron’s just-ended streak of regular season games with at least 10 points was a bit more than two weeks younger than Cooper Flagg

HOLY SHIT one of the most amazing streaks in sports history just ended because LeBron made a perfect pass for someone else to hit a game winner.

Another way to look at Lebron's streak of 1,293 consecutive regular season games with at least 10 points is that there are currently only TWO (2) other players in the entire league (Kyle Lowry and Chris Paul) who played a single NBA game BEFORE the streak began.

His streak has played more games than all but 24 other players in NBA history.

This is gonna sound a bit [bong rip] but it's weird how a SCOTUS this brazenly fucked still functions as the be-all end-all of American law, like there's no mechanism available to just be like "hey, this court is *obviously* just making shit up, so, no thank you."
It feels like a cheat code.

It's interesting how Cotton et al are all-in on the "these were legal murders" take when it seems pretty clear the videos will become public at some point, like they know unconditional support has upside while murder/war crime apologia probably has very little consequence

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Not that things were good before but the last few days really does feel like the country is turning down just a remarkably dark path with this shit
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."
He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

The horrible writing is one thing and the journalistic malpractice another but I keep thinking that if she really did materially help RFK end up where he is then she is a meaningful contributor to the ongoing destruction of several pillars of public health in the country, I mean jfc
