Early goings, but Giannis + Myles Turner feels like it actually works.

We shouldn’t have to tear our attention away from basketball but here we are. 😠

I know the NBA is back (hooray!) but godDAMN this is infuriating. Every member of this administration is a charlatan and each and every elected federal politician who enables such blatant in-broad-daylight corruption is a coward and must be thrown out of elected office ASAP. Disgusting.

Bro. This is as illegitimate as it gets.

“Stealing tax dollars” has got to be worse than “taxation without representation” right?

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

Toad climbed out of the river. The water dripped out of his bathing suit and down onto his feet.

Toad stands on the rich riverbank, water dripping from his old-timey bathing suit.

I’m on vacation — and it’s unlikely anyone gives a damn what I think — but I really really REALLY like that AJ Green extension for the Bucks. Good deal for a good player, and a very tradeable contract if/when that becomes a necessary step for a deal.

Plus, awesome two-way contract success story!

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

today an IRL prestige cleric used an IRL magic item (not kidding) to upcast Turn Evil (not kidding) IRL on ICE and reality is so borked that it actually worked

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

alley *oop gdi

Mitchell Maurer @mitchellnba.bsky.social · 11d

If the practice footage of AJ Green dunking an alley pop proves anything, it’s that the vibes in the Milwaukee Bucks’ locker room are immaculate.

*Everybody* got hyped when AJ dunked it, to a hilarious degree. You love to see it.

History has pretty clearly shown that bad things happen in other places & to other people, but not here & not to me. I'm frankly not very worried about any of this

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

It hits hard, in the best way. And I don’t know if this matters, but as a parent (two boys, 10 and 6) it was soooooo much worse (again, in the best way.)

Incredible story-telling, outstanding acting, and far more relatable than I would have ever thought.

It’s all over the socials so I’ll pile on: Adolescence was quite possibly the best piece of media I’ve consumed in a long while. I’m sure the technical details are astounding but the *RAW* performances from so many in that cast were heart-wrenching.

The last scene of Episode 4 left me a mess.
