Just wait until you can't tell the difference between a real musician and a fake one. And so on and so forth.

All these tech dorks "it's only going to get better!" just absolutely thrilled to see the end of things being fun. So lame
Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

I wish shit like this moved the needle at all. If recordings of him in 2016 admitting to committing SA didn't matter... feels so hopeless
These are the people who are willing to go on the record.

If you think about it it’s harder to win single elimination games than the NBA Finals. What a brilliant innovation by Adam Silver and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan
my opinion on whether the NBA Cup is important will depend 100% on whether or not the Knicks win the NBA Cup tonight

truly a clash of the titans
Some matchup rankings headed into Grizzlies at LA for Monday night

The last time the Grizzlies visited LA, the Clippers gave Chris Paul a tribute video. The vibes might be different in the arena tonight.

More on why intentional fouls should be abolished ⤵️

Intentional fouls ruined the Spurs-Thunder game. The NBA should abolish them
Whether or not the "foul-up-three" strategy is employed correctly, it makes the product far less entertaining.

Not only did Major League Baseball shorten games with its wide-ranging rule changes, but it did so by eliminating many of the sport’s boring moments.

The NBA should do the same and keep the main thing the main thing, writes @ekoreen.bsky.social.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.
utterly incapable of grace

they NEED to find a way to remove fouling up 3, it's so bad for the product

I'm glad the EPA no longer links humans to climate change and thinks pollution isn't dangerous for humans because otherwise I'd be SCARED right now but instead I'm just smiling through it all taking extra deep breaths :)

The main reason I think the GOAT debate is over is that LeBron is going to be an UFA at 40, and if he doesn't decide to retire (understandably on his own terms), he'd still easily get $20M/yr. Maybe more, I honestly don't know.

Players/coach being aligned is so important. We still suck but I legitimately don't think it's Ty's fault.
Asked Nicolas Batum about practice, then later about communicating with Tyronn Lue

Batum: "He's doing a great job to keep us engaged. It's not easy to find sometimes a new speech, a new something new to keep us engaged, and he's doing it."

We are 28.8 percent of the way through the NBA regular season.

So it’s time for our writer, Law Murray, to grade teams based on their progress so far.

The foreign-born fraction of the US population was 15% in 1890, and in 1910. America thrived.

That fraction is 16% now.

The difference is that in 1890/1910, >96% of immigrants were from Europe or Canada. Today that's less than 10%.

It's best to be honest about one one is actually afraid of.
Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."
