Had a feeling this was coming, given the summer and the start to the season, but man..... Really sucks. Hope he gets well soon 😥❤️

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.

The Wolves had plenty of other opportunities to close this one out, but watching these in real time sure felt like they were getting screwed out of a game

In the NBA's last 2-minute report, it was concluded that James Harden should have been called for a foul on Anthony Edwards' drive late. Also, the steal from LaMelo Ball on Donovan Mitchell was deemed incidental contact. Not surprised at either determination.

So The Terminal List is mostly Bad bad, but they are certainly moments of Great bad. There's a moment where Chris Pratt stares down a lion, the lion walks away, and Pratt just keeps staring as if to see "yaaaaa... I'm a MAN". Glorious

Baseball is so good, everybody. I implore you to get into it if you already aren't.

Sal Frelick hit four home runs in 407 plate appearances this year entering today. His fifth just tied Game 2 of the World Series.

So are shows like The and The Mashed Singer just, like, what sports are for me? I do not understand how these shows are still on the air.

I don't really have a rooting interest in either of the World Series teams, I just want a great Series. (But it's like 55-45 bc I kinda want to see them win one for Ueck)

For Ueck. 💙 Brewers Hall of Famer Robin Yount pays tribute to the legendary Frick Award-winning broadcaster Bob Uecker. #WorldSeries

I always hope that ppl near the ocean take it in as much as Minnesotans take in our lakes. Got to the Ocean for the first time in 20+ years last month and it was transcendent. Hopped up and down in some waves for a half hour and felt as though I was dealt a new hand in life.

I've had cats all my life. I've wanted a dog for a long time. I love my dog so much, but I'm ready to fast forward out of the puppy days. My family wanted this damn dog, and now she is basically solely my dog. I loves her, but puppy Penny is fucking exhausting with 2 other kids.

This is so Unbelievably fucked up. I'm not even joking when I say I would hope they would form a Union just to strike over this. It's worthlessly petty and degrades your employees merely for your own giggles.

If you're a connoisseur of on-brand James Dolan pettiness, grudge-settling, and ham-fisted dumbassery, have I got the article for you www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

One of the things that I like about the NBA is that a player like Kuminga can take a 1-year, prove it deal and that this is one of the ways he can prove it. It was relatively quiet, but if he plays like this all year... He is going to get Paid next year.

5 stocks tonight for Jonathan Kuminga Wolves allowed 52 points in the 54 possessions he and Rudy Gobert played together (96.3 DRTG, 96th percentile), wth an 86% DREB% (95th percentile). Kuminga was active fronting the post, playing passing lanes, and contesting shots.

Man, I have Zero idea what Lisa Demuth was thinking when she decided multiple debates weeks a good idea. Klob has been doing this a Looooong time and is Very good at debates. Make the most that you can with one debate and get tf out without getting KO'd She really should not have done this debate

This was such a good idea. I just let the posts backlog while I watched Show Horses and a couple YouTube videos and now I can scroll through Wolves joy for the rest of the night.

The great thing about a Wolves opener dub is getting to hope scroll for like 2 hours straight. Thanks Wolves-sky.

There have been an odd number of songs from the soundtrack of the early 2000s cinematic masterpiece "Serendipity" in TV Shows of late

In Bloom, because it was the first restaurant I really felt comfortable on the line. The Village Wok bc it was the place where the music majors from Hamline circa 2003 went to study, and it was Amazing.

I was sent to the shadow realm by my kids' chaos in the first half and unable to watch my dearest Wolves. Luckily 1 of the two will be asleep for the second half.

Wolves in 4 'til it ain't.

I’ve said howdy to four strangers on the street wearing Knicks gear today by saying “Knicks in five,” to which they responded, “Knicks in five.” It’s as much a part of the shared lexicon now as “fuggedaboutit”
