Exits: Something darker
Writer Robert Silverman on the Knicks, the authoritarian need of humiliation, outgrowing childhood fears, and Karl-Anthony Towns.

At @wtevs.bsky.social's BASKETBALL FEELINGS, the Zesty KAT stuff took me right back to my own dumb childhood jock dreams and the ugly homophobia that’s seeping into ever corner of the current fascist moment—even the '24-25 Knicks. www.basketballfeelings.com/p/exits-some...

now that's what I call good government
Keep in mind there is no law saying bagels are only for the morning. If you want a 9PM bagel, that’s fine. You can just do that.

A person I'm on a discord on found this in the emails and I hasn't seen anyone else post it yet so I thought I'd share.

Look, I know we’re all rightfully pissed about the current Epstein stuff, but you should really set aside some time and read this piece. There’s a reason “mitigating the effects of climate change” is one of my key policy positions.

somehow, in the middle of this otherwise incredibly incriminating email, Epstein tells Wolff that Trump never got massages and that's all you'll hear on Fox
The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."
