Sorry to hear that, Bone. It can get so loud and angry and deflating when politics comes up nowadays; it seems like there's genuine hate between the various disagreeing groups. I find myself asking to "ban" politics talk in various spaces. Like my family just agrees not to talk or fight ab...

Thanks for compiling those scores. And congrats to saucey, BK, and FF.

Tim Scott won't commit to accepting the 2024 election results. He knows another 1/6 style coup is coming. Shit like this should be immediately disqualifying, but nothing matters any more.

Fwiw, here's another new poll from ABC. This one has Biden ahead 49-45. Usual disclaimer, these are mostly worthless, next week Trump will be ahead or whatever, etc.

I don't think we'll have a true Civil War, but we may have a coup / takeover. It's concerning to see how much of the police, military, national guard, border patrol, etc. seem to carry partisan loyalty to one political party. What will happen when the leader of that party orders them to arms? While ...

Jimmy Butler is probably better than Beal short-term, but he's several years older and probably isn't a true fix for what's wrong with this team. He's not an excellent facilitator; he isn't a great on-ball defender any more; and he wants to have the ball at the end of the game (just like Book and KD...

Interesting.

Whoops.

Wow, great Game 1 between the Wolves and Nuggets. Anthony Edwards had 43 points on 17-29 shooting. Naz Reid also really showed up with 16 points. It was intense and close until the end when the Wolves pulled away. This is going to be a good series. https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401657182

Huh, interesting. We'll have to watch and see.

My wife and I just finished Outer Wilds. It was honestly one of the most interesting and unique experiences I've had playing a video game in a long time. It's a space exploration game with a "vast yet small" world, along with a "resetting" mechanic where the sun goes supernova an...

Here would be a thought…. Reports are that Miami is souring on Jimmy…they were also linked to Beal before. Beal for Jimmy? Makes a lot of sense for us, but does Miami still want Beal with no Jimmy? Beal has a worse contract and is a worse player, so they probably want a pick too. Does Beal want tha...

It sounds like Israel is refusing to accept the cease-fire deal and intends to militarily enter Rafah? Despite a way to end the violence and get all their hostages back?

This is actually a big loss for the Mavs. Kleber is one of those role players who nobody plans for in the scouting report, then he hits a couple of big 3s against you.

I don't want to panic about it. From the bit I've read, it sounds like it is already pretty widespread in dairy cattle, and therefore it's probably interacted a bunch with humans already. And we don't seem to be getting infected with it. So maybe we'll be okay? I worry that maybe it'll mutate and be...

I guess so, but he forgot to do the part where you make it funny. He just read a bunch of valid criticisms of what a kook he is.

Harden might actually make sense from a basketball perspective (needing a facilitator in the starting lineup). But I don't see why he would turn down $35+ million to come here on a minimum contract.

I know I'm the old man yelling at clouds but I hate the way they view the gather step. Growing up watching basketball that is a clear travel every time. Guy goes from the wing all the way to the corner w/ no dribble? Silly. I agree. They do seem to just let guys "Euro step" much more now....

The #1 thing we need to do is get off the Beale contract. Idk who would take him but maybe Philly with their %65 mil in cap space. Who else can they get on the free agent market? I think the best chance of unloading Beal would be Orlando. They're having a promising playoff run here, pushing Clevela...

Yeah, but, if you keep throwing away your picks to get veterans, you end up with (at best) a lot of Royce O'Neales, guys who might be rotation players but in 1-2 years you have to throw decently large money at them to get them to stay, else they just leave. And that's how you end up with a team full...
