Before this season, I had never noticed the refs cowering hoping to not get hit during a jump ball. But it is now one of my favorite things to watch for every game

The guy buying the Portland Trail Blazers is using a fortune "that was built on predatory lending. ... He made lots of profit ... on the backs of low- and poor-credit individuals.”

Just in: The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Damian Lillard and stretching the remaining $113 million on his contract in order to acquire Myles Turner, sources tell ESPN. Lillard's two seasons in Milwaukee come to an end as he rehabilitates a torn Achilles tendon.

I have never needed a @pablo.show deep dive on any topic more than the absolute shit show that is Alpine F1
Alpine has confirmed its driver switch, with Franco Colapinto replacing Jack Doohan, who remains with the team as reserve.
It says the change is for the next five races at least, and there will be another evaluation made ahead of the British Grand Prix in July #F1

NY State AG Letitia James ought to issue a warrant for Elon Musk and his incel clown posse for wire fraud and grand larceny. They took $80 million of federally allocated funds from a bank account that wasn't theirs. Indict them, issue warrants, and arrest them now. End this madness.
