Less than two weeks in and my Yahoo Fantasy team is done. Soooo many injuries. Glad we just do it for "fun" and don't pay anything. On the bright side, I've got this little baby already locked up for the season.

Just in: Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his ailing right knee and miss up to two months, sources tell ESPN.

Actually, Bolsonaro heard he can get a free flight to Rwanda just by coming to the US.

Bill Madden@maddenifico.bsky.social

Following his election loss to Lula, Flávio Bolsonaro has fled Brazil after missing a deadline to hand over his passport. News outlet Metrópoles reports that Bolsonaro is scheduled to land in Florida on Tuesday afternoon, with plans to seek political asylum from fellow far-right authoritarian Trump.

Vance's speechwriter just won a side bet in the office as to whether he could slip that in and get Vance to say it.

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

Wow. Recently striking California State Workers SEIU 1000 disrupted a lecture to HR managers throughout the state by CALHR boss Monica Erickson on “Navigating a Modern Workforce", where she presumably meant to do so by union busting with unfair negotiating practices. 👏👏👏

How do you tear an MCL and not need surgery? Is it just a small partial tear?

Shams Charania Tweets@shamsbot.bsky.social

Utah Jazz star Jaren Jackson Jr. has sustained a torn MCL in his right knee and will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon. Jackson will not require surgery.

Hahahahahaha Just saw the dumbass “liberals are the new racists” commercial during the World Series because literal fucking nazis don’t like being called out on their privilege. Fuck all the way off, Karens.

If any of my followers haven’t yet started watching WNBA games, you are missing out on as great a sports experience as any out there. These women are so talented.

it’s completely inexcusable that this wasn’t solved before the series started. you knew literal months ago that the W was taking a month off for FIBA and that the Finals had a very good chance of conflicting with the NBA schedule. it’s been a non-issue in San Francisco, why is this only Atlanta?

Like military contractors they believe, “You are worth the value of what you can destroy”

Dave Levitan@davelevitan.bsky.social

My second-hand impression of the Anthropic IPO filing is that basically says "we lose a country GDP's worth of money, we rely heavily on other tech companies to even exist, our tech may destroy the world in [86 pages of possibilities], we are worth 100 trillion dollars"

This the kind of thing that absolutely 100% happens because the orange baby had a tantrum and ordered them to do it.

So since AI just “knows” and regurgitates what it has stolen, does that mean everything you “create” using AI will just be stolen by the next guy asking AI to do the same thing?

what is the point of a big arena if you hold it in the middle of the day when everyone who would attend is at work?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Arrrgh. My multiview only shows four programs.

Happy sports equinox day! Today is the only day this year that you can (try to) watch an NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and WNBA game at the exact same time, or as I call it: The Sickos Challenge.

The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

It's like every single time they are on defense they stand in no-man's-land too far away from the player at the three point line, but also too far away from the key to help inside. So either the other team gets a wide open 3pt shot, or a wide open lane to the hoop. It is infuriating.

Dave Lack@davelack.bsky.social

Can the Kings please hire absolutely ANY coach that knows how to teach 3pt defense?

I would say, "Eff you, Vlade" again except the Kings would have traded Luka away by now anyway had they drafted him instead of Bagley.

NBABeau@nbabeau.bsky.social

Luka is going to put up one of the most absurd statistical seasons we’ve ever seen if he stays healthy this year.

Seeing posts from folks feeling hopeless that no political party sees them and cares for them, and I truly hurt for these people. I also feel that voting has never been about picking your perfect candidate. All candidates and political parties are flawed. Voting is about the lesser of evils.

By not voting at all you are proving, "what I think doesn't matter" even if you are trying to protest against that very thought. You are saying that you don't care if the terrible person leads you over the mediocre person. You basically give up and let them win.

If you don't vote because you care so much about only one thing, you become indistinguishable from the person who doesn't vote because they care about nothing at all.

Everyone knows the over-the-top faux ornate decorations in the Cheesecake Factory is part of an overall experience like at a theme park. The owners of the restaurant chain know this as well. The only one who doesn’t seem to understand how silly over-the-top ornateness looks is Trump.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

Donald Trump is Ben McLemore.

Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social

I used to tell my friends Bill Clinton is Kobe. Obama is LeBron. Bill had a wider political vocabulary (Bill was a good retailer and orator). Obama focuses on his particular set of skills and does them really well.

BEGGING my fellow streamers to PLEASE stop using Tangia! I don't care if it makes for funny clips. Most voices on Tangia come from people who've very publicly said they don't want their voice taken from them this way. AI voices hurt ALL voice actors. You're better than this. Use other TTS.

OK, so that is the G-League starters. Who is starting for the NBA team?

Super cool Birthday idea for theater kids. Teaching the girls a dance in between starring in “Six” as Catherine Parr on Broadway on a two show day.

Dave Lack@davelack.bsky.social

Calm before the storm. About to have 7 middle school girls here for my daughter’s birthday party. Having Broadway Star Stephanie Jae Park do a Zoom in dance lesson between her two “SIX” shows today and then the girls will dance for parents and get “Tony Awards” Wife @karalack.bsky.social rocks
