- you cannot believe how bad the Brooklyn Nets are

- Warriors don’t win 50 games but we do get a real Playoff Jimmy sighting

- Atlanta Hawks are somehow good but everyone is still mad a Trae

- Ant Edwards only gets better but the Timberwolves have peaked

I haven’t done any season preview stuff. No podcasts, no columns, nothing. So:

- Knicks don’t trade for Giannis and win the East

- Bulls win 30 games

- Cooper Flagg is the next Christian Laettner

- Thunder do not repeat but win 60 games

- Rockets in play-in

they are proving over and over again that they’re not built for it, people are rejecting corporatism and that’s all they are

I was AT that workshop and aggressive is not at all how I’d describe it (complimentary to you and the workshop)

my literary take is if you haven’t read small press poetry in the last month you’re doing life itself wrong

this isn’t unhinged, tho, this is every screw in perfect place with a fresh spray of WD40 anywhere that creaks

I know this is only one man in this clip but Ive spoken to him when ive been otg and he said he’s from the area. i also talked to many young Black and Brown folks at Broadview, many of whom rode bikes/skateboards. These folks arent riding in from far away.

it me

The Fish by Lydia Davis She stands over a fish, thinking about certain irrevocable mistakes she has made today. Now the fish has been cooked, and she is alone with it. The fish is for her—there is no one else in the house. But she has had a troubling day. How can she eat this fish, cooling on a slab of marble? And yet the fish, too, motionless as it is, and dismantled from its bones, and fleeced of its silver skin, has never been so completely alone as it is now: violated in a final manner and regarded with a weary eyes by this woman who has made the latest mistake of her day and done this to it.

same with An Indigenous People’s History Of The United States, hits home the point of how the U.S. military still calls any enemy territory on the globe “Indian country”

Chicago Over Everything

Robert Loerzel @robertloerzel.bsky.social · 14h

A few messages seen today in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood

A poster on a pole next to a street says:
“ICE YOU ARE NOT INVISIBLE
!RECORD!
!RECORD!
!RECORD!
NAZI RATS LEAVE OUR CITY”

A stack of posters featuring a hammer-wielding figure with the stars of the Chicago wrapped around his torso. It says:
“I PREFER MY ICE CRUSHED. END IMMIGRATION ARRESTS, DEFEND OUR SANCTUARY”

A sign in a store window says: “WE DON’T [SERVE is crossed out] FEED ICE OR PIGS! even if you steal this sign”

The words “ICE OUT” are written in chalk on a sidewalk.

damning thread. Pritzker needs to call off the cops

shawn @mulchy.bsky.social · 15h

thirty-four people have been arrested outside the broadview ice detention center since illinois state police + the cook county sheriff's office set up "unified command" on oct. 3.

charges range from misdemeanors, like resisting/obstruction, to felonies, like criminal damage to government property.
