Low hanging fruit but pretty funny nonetheless. Looking forward to your analysis of Cleveland’s FA moves/trades soon.

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.

These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.

If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

I LOVE REGULATION. I LOVE THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT A RESTAURANT IS SAFE TO EAT AND A PRODUCT WONT KILL ME. I WANT MORE REGULATION. I DONT WANT CORPORATIONS TO BREATHE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION.

Think about this for a hot second

I think the general internet argument view of “you have emotion about this event har har, you’re triggered, you have an emotional response to cruelty har har” has been a complete disaster for humanity both for the person being told that and for the person saying it

For-Profit Companies Can’t Easily Replace NOAA’s Weather-Forecasting Prowess Replicating the abilities of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s fleet of weather satellites would take time and a lot of money—and expose private companies to a large amount of…

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

Trump illegally firing the youngest, fittest US Forest Service firefighters after a few weeks of bullshit about how the LA fires were caused by government incompetence is quite a thing.

Very valid. That’s sort of my thought too. And while I obviously wish Dewine was better, he also is clearly more “center” vs the MAGA movement. I agree that Vivek would probably decimate a lot of things that dewine hasn’t touched and try to run the same scams Trump runs.

Genuinely asking. Is it your hope/ sentiment that Tressel would legitimately be different than Vivek in terms of policy?

The OSU fan in me hopes he would be more compassionate and educated vs his GOP cohorts based on his experience in higher ed.

But we’ve seen this end poorly in SEC states.

Jon Stewart asks why Democratic leaders think they need better messaging rather than better policies. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries replies their solution is "making the American people feel that we understand the pain that they've been in" — the exact thing Stewart was criticizing!

Trae Young is the best player I've ever seen whose hair situation almost always looks at least kind of like Big Ern McCracken near the end of "Kingpin"

there's a headline on nyt, excuse me the athletic, "why the lakers couldn't say no to the luka doncic trade" uh is it because he's a no-question top-five nba player who's 25 years old?

Luka Dončić, LeBron James and the biggest winners and losers of the Lakers-Mavericks trade Here's a first look at who appears to have been helped or hurt in one of the most shocking moves the NBA has ever seen.

At Y! Sports: I wrote about exceptionalism, dreams, nightmares, old-head wisdom, bold gambits, prime movers, half-court defense, half-court offense, the past, the future, and the absolute brain-melting stunner that is Luka Dončić for Anthony Davis: yhoo.it/4aF1Pvf

The real lesson of Zuckerberg and Musk is that some people are just born with loser stink on them that no amount of wealth or power will ever scrub off

Believe it or not: The Cavaliers are one of the most dominant teams we've ever seen Can Cleveland win it all this year?

"You're as good as your record says you are," Stephen Curry said after the Cavs mopped up the Warriors. "So they're pretty damn good right now."

The record says the Cavs are 29-4, on pace for one of the most dominant seasons ever. They believe. Do you? yhoo.it/4fIbYIj

Even those bullish on the Cavs before the season, though, likely didn’t expect them to open it performing like one of the most dominant teams we’ve ever seen. That sounds like hyperbole; somehow, it isn’t. Consider: The Cavs have won their 29 games by an average of 11.88 points, which would be the fifth-highest average margin of victory in NBA history, according to Stathead. The only teams to finish a season with a higher average margin: the 1972 Lakers, the 1971 Bucks and the 1996 Bulls. They all won the NBA title. Simple rating system, which accounts for a team’s point differential and strength of schedule, pegs the Cavs as one of the dozen strongest teams in league history. Nine of the 11 teams that have finished a season with a higher SRS than Cleveland’s went to the NBA Finals; eight won. The Cavs aren’t just leading the NBA in points scored per possession; according to Jared Dubin’s adjusted efficiency metric, Cleveland has the third most efficient offense since the ABA-NBA merger in 1976. Because they also remain excellent on defense — tied with the Timberwolves for sixth in defensive efficiency, according to Cleaning the Glass — the Cavs enter Friday with an era-adjusted scoring margin of plus-10.4 points-per-100 above league average, according to Dubin. Only eight teams since the merger have finished with a margin higher than 10. Six of them won the title. “They have the best record in the NBA, they have the No. 1 offense in the NBA, and no one seems to be able to stop that team,” Nuggets head coach Michael Malone told reporters after Cleveland buried Denver beneath a 149-point Cavalanche. “... Really, when you play them, there is no margin for error.”

On a preseason podcast, I wondered why a team that won 48 games last year despite being ravaged by injuries couldn't be "like, a 55-win team waiting to happen." It appears that I was *massively* underselling them!
