The Charlotte Hornets on Feb. 11 are retiring the No. 1 jersey of Muggsy Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history at 5-foot-3. Bogues spent 10 of his 14 NBA seasons in Charlotte (1988-1998) and is the franchise leader in assists, steals and minutes.

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

dude, you got yourself kicked out of two boarding schools, your Harvard application is rumored to have consisted of two words - "Harvard" and "Kennedy" -, your peers there say you were a dealer in college, your roommate reportedly wrote your senior thesis for you, and you failed the NY bar twice

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Susan Collins voted to confirm this wacko even though he had no relevant qualifications and a ton of red flags. #MEpolitics

I don’t have a single reason to give too much of a shit (come back to me when we do the definitive Midwestern state ranking and I will tell you why Iowa isn’t real), but is Connecticut really that shitty lol

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

There's nuance here about "how do we use platforms owned by the fascists". You *have to understand the political purpose of the platforms* in order to use them to subvert authoritarians. For the most part, Americans simply do not. Centrists (including DNC consultants) do not. Major media does not.

Key lessons from Brazil Amplify our people. Ignore the opposition. Use the tools owned by fascists to defeat the fascists? Meet the people where they are. May need to reconsider my staunch position of boycotting Meta for the reason. Thoughts?

Another terrible aspect of this is that Mayer treated this like a college application question, as if she's supposed to credentialize her kid as "creative" and "empathetic." But as a parent, when you're asked this, you're getting a chance to tell the teacher what your kid NEEDS.

You can get your hopes up now. A tremendous comeback by Lula to defeat fascism. He does it again. Best news in a very long time!

Don't want to get anybody's hopes too high too early, but things are looking much better for Lula than expected

The Cheesecake Factory “controversy” is nice because it’s a rerun of the exact kind of stupid shit we had to sit through every day of the Obama administration. Now Zoomers don’t have to feel left out of having their own Obama “controversy” to reference.

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.

"AI will destroy humanity" has always and only been an attempt to distract from "AI will leak your login credentials to the internet"

Emily Bell@emilybell.bsky.social

Three weeks ago AI founders were all over the press making vague but portentous comments about the existential risks and power of their models. This week their models are part of a widespread security failure around critical systems such as your bank account..a more immediate and serious risk 1/

Just so we're all caught up; Elon Musk paid for a political ad where Amy Acton's mother- who ignored that her boyfriend raped/beat her own children starting at the age of 9 for Amy- accused Amy of being a deluded serial liar. How am I still shocked at the shit they do after all this time lol

Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."

Also the constitution does not mention moms but it did disqualify insurrectionists until the Roberts Court decided that clause didn’t count
