Trump (and right-wing media such as Newsmax and Fox) are working together to intimidate potential jurors.

Maybe we should rotate to talking about something else.

I think anyone who did what Jontay did would get the same treatment I don't know if they would have given a huge star like Giannis, Luka, Embiid, etc. a lifetime ban if they were the first to do this. But now that they've set the precedent, they would probably have to do so for consistency's sake, ...

^ Interesting stat, but weird visualization. He went "1-0" against them, for a "1.000" winning percentage, in each game?

The "No Dunks" crew weighs in on Wolves vs Suns:

I do have some concerns about our overall roster construction (lack of defense and ball-handling etc.), but I wouldn't want to trade Grayson for any of the proposed guys. We need some continuity on this team right now, and Grayson has been an excellent piece to go along with our Big 3.

I have to believe in our guys. We have consistently beaten these Wolves this year, and we're finally playing some of our best basketball at the perfect timing. I don't believe in us as a true contender, but I think we can pull off this upset. The playoffs are all about matchups, and this is the one ...

Good for a chuckle.

An article about USC's decision to cancel their (Muslim) valedictorian's speech this year after concerns about safety / threats of violence:

Jimmy Butler seems to have an MCL injury and will miss the next play-in game. Rough news for Miami.

Open letter from several NPR employees asking its CEO to rebut the statements made by Uri Berliner.

Trump is already trying to turn his supporters against the jurors. Surely this sort of talk is over the line in terms of tampering with the trial or intimidating the jury or something of that nature.

76ers beat the Heat to secure the 7 seed. I hadn't really looked over the East bracket yet (we should do a Playoff Predictions thread once the matchups are all settled), but the Celtics at #1 are the team you want to avoid in the 1st round. The Knicks are #2 apparently (wow), a much easier opponent....

Wait, we extended Grayson? Holy shit.

Nodack's quote is straight from the Project 2025 web site. They explicitly state that their goal is to put conservative partisans into supposedly non-partisan governmental roles.

Can’t get beat by an Ant. Just step on him.

We could use an Ant trap defense.

The effort by the GOP to impeach DHS secretary Mayorkas (on the grounds that he was not managing the border well) has failed.

A "trans only" sports division would be silly because you could never get enough trans people to field a team, much less a whole league.

I just won't take anything as gospel if it's tweeted from some rando, where all he includes is some blurry screenshot. What is that a screenshot of? What are his sources? Where did he get the information? What evidence is there of it? Can I look at this evidence? etc.

Project 2025 aims, among other things, to fire a bunch of genuinely nonpartisan people and replace them with Republican / MAGA partisans.
