yeah I liked Friendship but I feel like it was tenuously walking a narrative/character-empathy tightrope the entire time and could've toppled over without Paul Rudd

this chart is insane
www.theringer.com/2025/10/10/n...

In today’s NBA, learning to rebound means learning to corral errant 26-footers. Last season, we crossed yet another Rubicon: For the first time in NBA history, more rebounds came off missed 3s than missed 2s. It’s a wild stat, but it’s also a good example of how an evolving shot diet touches all aspects of the game, including the art of the board. In 2000, an average game included fewer than 20 missed triples. Last season, that number was 48, and for the first time ever, it outpaced the number of missed 2s per contest. Three-point rebounds used to be a side dish at Rodman’s restaurant—now they are the main course.

One big question for the next 25 years: Will the 3-point rate continue to increase? I say yes, for three reasons. First, we just witnessed another big uptick last season: In 2024-25, the 3-point rate ballooned to 42.2 percent, up from 39.5 percent in 2023-24. Second, all of the talent arriving in the league is showing up with a pace-and-space mindset, while many of the league’s midrange artisans are aging out. As vets like Chris Paul, DeMar DeRozan, and Kevin Durant fade out, they’re taking their old-school bags with them. Third, we’ve already seen forward-thinking teams push the envelope even more. Last year’s Celtics broke the record by taking 53.6 percent of their shots from beyond the arc—they ranked second in the league in offensive efficiency and scored a ridiculous 119.5 points per 100 possessions.

absolutely loved this song, which was everywhere first semester of my freshman year of college. I connected with a nerdy TMBG-loving dorm neighbor through it, I got him high for the first (and last) time later that semester and he barfed in his trashcan
