Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

My only critique is not enough corner 3s generated, but that's somewhat to be expected given the Pelicans' lack of a true floor general style PG

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 14h

This first half shot chart doesn't look like any Pelicans team I recognize. Had to make sure it wasn't misclick!

Just got the kids down and turned on the game to see... a fight being broken up?

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Bari Weiss, a right winger with a history of anti-Muslim hate and the founder of billionaire funded "Free Press", now leads billionaire owned CBS, and hires Free Press to make up a story about the potentially first Muslim mayor of NYC.

Definitely no conflict or corporate corruption here. Nope. None

ESPN's fantasy basketball autodraft settings are just insanely bad. One guy autodrafted tonight and ended up with Bojan Bogdanovic and Derrick Rose 😭😭😭

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 2d

Alright y'all, gimme all of your fantasy basketball sleepers. Who's having a good preseason? Who's gonna blow up?

The stupidest fucking people are running the country. They're cruel and heartless, but they're also just really stupid.

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

I'm pretty excited to finally have a good reason to cut bait from LaMelo (had him for like $7 after his rookie year)

Also our keeper inflation is n*2 so resetting the clock will be nice!

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 3d

This is where I'm leaning based on the research I've done as well

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 3d

Just one. I think J-Dub is the smart and safe choice here

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 3d

FBB draft tomorrow. H2H 9-category, 12 teams, $200 auction budget. My keeper options:

LaMelo: $20
J-Dub: $21
Franz: $22
Josh Hart: $9
Coby White: $11

I have no idea what to do

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

Did Sumrall bet Tulane -6.5? What a dumb thing to call there

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 5d

The only thing left to go wrong for Tulane tonight is their kicker who is perfect on the season thus far missing the game winning FG as time expires
