Some news: over a year ago, I started building out a model to weigh NBA careers with the hope of removing a lot of bias that comes with analysis. (My own specifically!) I eventually weighted 23 factors to try and assess the greatest players of all-time in a calculated order.

I haven’t deactivated my X/Twitter accounts because of a decades worth of archived content. Every so often I see a poster who I want to engage with. Not hedging bets. I’m here. I do miss some of the SunsTwitter that some how was first here and then just abandoned it. Very odd.

Super weird hobby trend but also interesting.

True gold prizms /10 routinely go for way more $ than the black/gold /5 and green /5.

I think there are four camps.

True idealists. 100% done with X.

People hedging their bets for work and associated other reasons.

Never going to leave X because they can’t be bothered to start over and don’t want to lose their audience.

Never going to leave X because they are pro all the bad.

Yea, it remains incredibly unfortunate that the nba migration was more like a vacation.

I AM really struggling with how little NBA talk there is on here and I'm tired of pretending I'm not. Ratio me, it's a badge of honor.

Reading for pleasure has fallen by 40 percent since 2000. This is not progress. You should read because it's good for your brain, your soul. You should read because our freedoms will not long endure in a post-literate world. Most of all, you should read because it's fun.

A ★★★ review of How to Train Your Dragon (2025)

The story remains good and I felt the same feels. Generational hate hurts, harming animals is the single hardest thing for me to watch in a movie. Even mythical computer generated ones. With all that ...

I liked it more than Asteroid City and I remain sated from my time with Wes Anderson but I’m no longer enthused when I sit down to partake in the meal.

Wes started as the small community restaurant that everybody loved. He won some awards, soon every table was full. Reservations booked way ahead. A renovation was needed, more room, more business but ...

A ★★★ review of The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025)

A pretty good adaptation of a really good mystery/thriller. Similar to ‘The Dry’, it did a good job of staying true to the core of the novel while making some good dramatic adds. The central gaslighti...

A’JA. RIYADH. WILSON.

A'ja Wilson becomes the first player in WNBA history to earn regular season M’VP, D’POY, and Finals M’VP in a single season.

I’m not seeing Ant. Am I crazy for thinking panini somehow confused him and Udonis Haslem?

There’s nothing hyperbolic or dramatic about a movie so full of chaos and sadness. This is the reality of kids who fall through the cracks and are at the edge of the abyss held on to only by societies mercy or lack thereof.

A ★★★★ review of Steve (2025)

The film is timely, though depressingly so. This school of boys, so lost, so in need of help and specialized support. There’s nothing hyperbolic or dramatic about a movie so full of chaos and sadness....
