Men might be terrible at friendships. Me and my barber just realized we didn't know each other names after 3 years of haircuts. Which makes me wonder what the hell he's been calling me in his head?

Starting on the 4th season of The Witcher and two things stand out:

1) They do everything they can to avoid showing Cavill's face in the recap

2) You'll *never* convince me that Maas' Throne of Glass didn't start as Witcher fanfiction

A bit of Anthony Edwards and Chris Finch in the back hallway. Ant: “We fed off Finchy’s energy.” Ant later joked he’d pay the fine. Finch pointing out that both times he got ejected the Wolves won.

The entire state of Oklahoma gonna be in mourning tonight with the Sooners and Thunder both losing

You know what? I can actually appreciate how confused Dort, Caruso, et al. get when they get called for fouls.

Because honestly, calling them for ticky-tack stuff after you've let them commit full-on muggings for a whole game has got to be a trip

OKC-Minn has been a phone booth knife fight with all the fouls and non-calls

Refs really need to start calling the Thunder for all the fouls they commit before some team starts sending in benchwarmers to just body Thunder players on some "Oh, you wanna foul and flop all the time? Bet"

I kinda want to print this out and take it to a bunch of the local shops just to hear the absolute filth they'd read this design for

Machining this, GTFOH 😂

...what the fu—I hope every professor does the most maliciously compliant FUs to this

As much as I hate Chapel Hill (*spit*), the overall uni network has always been a highlight of this state. WTF are we doing?!
The UNC system just released its final policy on mandatory syllabi disclosure, stating that syllabi are university (not faculty) IP and certain course info must be posted on new, publicly searchable databases before every semester.

A thread about what's changed from the draft I reported on earlier:
NEW: Public universities in red states, from Texas to Florida, are increasingly required to make their syllabi public. The University of North Carolina may be next. Does "syllabi transparency" help combat distrust in higher ed, or feed ill-informed suspicions of it? www.chronicle.com/article/when...

Chris Finch is every non-Thunder fan watching any Thunder game
Chris Finch was LIVID and got ejected

It would be really cool if I could flip between the Alabama-Oklahoma game and the Thunder-Timberwolves game but I can't because streaming!

Instead I've got to second screen the NBA game (and hope the quality isn't crap)

I will always be a grumpy old man about this nonsense, millennial or not

It kinda feels like somebody who really hates Trump is in charge of how all this has gone

*Every* *single* *thing* they've done around these files is the worst decision one could make if you wanted people to forget about them

So... You want to make Americans government-approved drug dealers? Because this is how you get government-approved drug dealers, because THE DRUGS ARE VALUABLE

J*F*C, Mike Lee is an idiot
This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

Let’s pretend like these dudes on the boats are really cartel members.

There are a handful of OIF/OEF veterans that would be prepared to deal with that amount of firepower.

Everyone else? This will get Americans killed.

1. Sherm is crazy for saying the media should ask him about “this stuff” later when it was directly referenced in the game and involved one of the games brightest stars
2. McVay is PISSED
Sean McVay's answer specific to Puka criticizing officials and this tweet that was deleted. Also Richard Sherman criticizing the line of questioning and saying the media should have asked about the game and asked them about this stuff later

MFer can't even do his nonsense with plausible deniability
It's time for Dillon Brooks to get an extended suspension. What a freaking clown. I'll stand ten toes down on that. This man overtly swings at people in a non basketball manner on a regular basis.

Y'all remember when the Clippers were leading this game?

Well, they're down 22 and the Thunder have 100pts with 46 seconds left in the third...

KNICKS WIN! LFG

HOW? I DON'T KNOW!

(I do know. But it's ridiculous they won this game given who [didn't] play)
