A jury found rapper Lil Durk not guilty on all counts

The truth is easy to see. You just have to ignore the bullshit. Truth of the matter is, nobody likes the truth. It hurts. Truth never aligns perfectly with personal bias and that's where the conflict for most people resides. Confirmation bias, tells us there must a truth that will support our belief

View full thread

We let politicians tell us why our bias isn't wrong, instead of telling us what the truth is. That's what I cannot abide. The abandonment of our personal understanding in exchange for someone else's understanding because people are too lazy to do the work. That's what I hate about people.

I hate democrats and republicans because, instead of taking that responsibility and educating people, helping them understand for themselves, they use that power for their personal gain while idiots argue in the comments. I'm so tired of this fucking reality its hard to think most days

We tell ourselves, there must a person, a group of people that feel this way, completely abandoning the truth for a manipulated truth that makes us right. Took me a long time, traveling all over the world to different continents, living in different cultures to understand that's not true.

Truth isn't hard to see, ignoring our personal bias, ignoring our personal ideals of what truth is our how things should work is hard. Admitting we have no idea what the truth is or how to search for it is hard. Instead of admitting that flaw, we let other people explain why our bias is correct.

nbcsports.comThe Shilo Sanders bankruptcy trial gets started (and doesn't start well)Shilo Sanders, the son of Deion and a member of the Buccaneers during the 2025 offseason program and preseason, hopes to discharge an $11.89 million civil judgment through the federal bankruptcy laws.

You've never heard, ever heard about an undrafted free agents bankruptcy trial. You've never heard about it. If Adam Shefter posted this, people would be killing him in the comments. That's all I'm saying.

basketballnetwork.net"They don't cry like they do in the NBA" - John Salley says he'd rather watch WNBA than NBASalley believes the WNBA delivers a tougher, more enjoyable brand of basketball.

31 Aug

The NBA says 170 million people regularly watch their product. Independent analysts look at the exact same data and say the core audience actively sitting on a couch choosing to watch a full NBA game is actually closer to a baseline of 1.4 to 1.7 million people. Big difference ain't it?

23 Aug

When the capacity for basic empathy, protection of the vulnerable, and shared moral recognition is gone, the institution is no longer serving human beings—it is just processing bodies. It is terrifying and sickening precisely because it proves how hollow things have become.

“A 1-year-old baby appeared in immigration court without legal representation in Arizona and received an instruction: File an asylum application before the next hearing or face deportation.”

This guy, Dr. Dave, just blocked me because he's a idiot. He's the dumbest psychologist and educator in the history of this planet. This is what happens when truth walks in the room. Stupid people leave the room.

When someone who holds themselves out as a professional psychologist, educator, and author publicly publishes a statement like this, it reveals a profound and troubling contradiction between their credentialed role and their behavior.

This is why I hate democrats and republicans. Politics shouldn't be this way and SMART PEOPLE should understand this. For someone who's job is to educate and help people, this is disturbing and this is the core of what democrats and republicans are. This is why I hate all of them.

This is dehumanization over diagnosis. Rather than analyzing the social, cognitive, or systemic factors that drive political polarization, this person relies on totalizing, dehumanizing language. This is the antithesis of the psychological approach, which is supposed to seek understanding.

This is a failure of educational philosophy. An educator's primary purpose is to foster critical thinking, facilitate learning, and engage with diverse perspectives to guide intellectual growth. To declare a massive portion of the population incorrigible, is a declaration of educational bankruptcy

This post is unavailable.

The denial of human agency itself is staggering. Calling any large group of people completely devoid of redemptive value, monsters, and entirely incorrigible and irredeemable directly contradicts fundamental psychological premises that individuals possess the capacity for growth.

When I just try to engage in the natural ebb and flow of a conversation, my brain maps out a deeper path, and the moment I follow it, I hit a wall. Getting ignored, shut down, or suddenly realizing I've been giving a 30-minute lecture to a room full of blank stares is incredibly alienating.

It leaves me feeling like a spectator in my own life.It forces me into a constant state of hyper-vigilance, where I have to manually brake my own thoughts just to keep from driving off others map. But it is what it is, I'd rather walk alone than walk with people who can't understand where I'm going

Because Trump treats the world economy like a transactional business deal rather than a fragile global ecosystem, he leaves massive power vacuums everywhere. He breaks a perfectly functioning system, takes his victory lap for the cameras, and has no idea how to manage the fallout.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Pakman: This is where Trump’s obsession with irreversible accomplishments comes in. When you look at the attempts to acquire Greenland, destroying part of the White House—he’s 80 and has limited time left in the Oval Office. I think he’s thinking, What can I do that can’t be reversed right away?

21 June

This isn't proof of some grand design. It's proof that, if you hire someone who doesn't know what they're doing to do a job, he's going to do things that don't make sense. And when the people, congress, just stand by and let him do whatever he wants, this is where you end up.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the Knicks have not declined a White House visit - despite a meme going around. As of today, they haven’t yet been invited. I hope they do decline, but remember to check for sources before sharing unsubstantiated claims.

Jussie Smollet was telling the truth. I did not have that on my bingo card. But this proves, whenever Trump gets involved, facts become lies to protect his maga brand. #jussiesmollet #justiceforjussiesmolllet that second hashing is wild. But it is what it is.

Congrats to the New York Knicks on winning the championship. #nbafinals

3 point game with everything on the line. If the Spurs lose, it's going to be open season on De'Aaron Fox #nbafinals

Boy De'Aaron Fox should be facing fraud and grand larceny charges for stealing money from the Spurs. #nbafinals

The boo birds are out for Fox already. When they announce his name, it's going to be bad. We're going to see what his mental toughness is like. #nbafinals

Trump doesn't think Vance leaked the story. But there is a lot of finger pointing to Vance's inner circle because the reports say he was the most upset and concerned about the fallout. Again, democrats and republicans don't need the information to be true, just align with their bias.

Don't be this person. Black people have been complaining about police since the nwa said fuck the police. People gave been calling for police reform since the 60's. There is literally so much history of people talking about it. This take is wild as hell.

The thing nobody wants to talk about is how the cops control blue cities in ways people can’t understand (see LA) and it’s very hard to push back. (Remember NYPD doxxing DiBlasio’s daughter?) It’s a nationwide problem.

All De'Aaron Fox had to do was hold the ball. Boy, I can't even understand why he's still allowed to play. I would make De'Aaron Fox walk back to San Antonio. That's crazy. #nbafinals

Wemby has 0 clutch gene. You know Wemby is missing the last shot smh. #nbafinals

I'm not saying I called it but...

Socratesmmxv@caesarmmxv.bsky.social

I did not expect the Knicks to come out like this. That game 3 loss must have shaken them. The Spurs are young so they might let the Knicks back in the game. Long shot but it is what it is. Towns is the key it seems. When he plays well they win, when Towns doesn't the Knicks struggle. #nbafinals

Times like these for the Spurs is why they traded for Fox. They thought Fix would be the calming presence on the floor, to settle the young group. But now, they need the floor general and Fox hasn't been able to do that. I expect him to be traded this off-season ##nbafinals

Unless the Spurs win, then they will probably run it back. But if he doesn't play better the rest of the way and the Spurs lose, I can see the Spurs moving on from him.
