“But everything gets harder when you get older. It’s harder. You’re probably at a little higher risk for stiffness, you’re at a higher risk for persistent swelling, you’re at a little bit of higher risk for aches and pains. And as you get older, it’s always harder to recover muscle mass.”
Jimmy Butler hobbled around on crutches yesterday in SF, at his afternoon BIGFACE pop-up, then at a Bacardi dominoes event at night.

He has yet to undergo ACL reconstruction surgery. That's when the tough part starts.

“The complaint [filed in MA by lawyers from the ACLU] alleges that the US violated the Death on the High Seas Act, which allows relatives to sue for wrongful deaths at sea, and the Alien Tort Statute, which empowers foreign citizens to seek legal redress in US federal courts.”
“People may not simply be gunned down by the government, and the Trump administration’s claims to the contrary risk making America a pariah state," said one attorney involved in the case.

“The most immediate cause of the rising risk of hunger is the ongoing U.S. naval embargo that blocks Venezuela’s oil exports. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that in marketing year 2025–26, Venezuela will have to import 1.62 million MT of corn, which is 56 percent of its needs.”
The Trump administration’s de facto alliance with the unelected and unpopular Chavismo government is only adding to the risks of a disaster.
