We’re heading back to 1990 levels (27,000 cases). If we keep it up we’ll get to pre-vaccination numbers (500,000 cases annually)

GSWs are sitting somewhere amid the third and fourth tiers of the West -- about the floor of playoff relevance. But there's a path to making it more interesting.
They need at least 1 more player, though.

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.
Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.
Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

The discernment and restrained but scintillating prose of an @anthonyvslater.bsky.social Warriors game summary will be one of the last things artificial intelligence will replace
Bad home loss for the Warriors to open the homestand. They gave up 21 offensive rebounds and 28 second chance points to the Blazers. Lost 127-123. Steve Kerr shifted to a bigger lineup in the second half, but it didn't solve issue. They're 9-9 through 18 games.

A RARE WIN FOR HAITI’S OUTNUMBERED, OUTGUNNED POLICE
Dozens of officers, working under steady gunfire, helped rescue thousands of pieces from the country's famed Centre d’Art.
