I just read that the Black album by Metallica was released 35 years ago today. Pretty sure I'm in the fossil record at this point.

LeBron leaving the Lakers after Bronny’s contract locked in:

@talkhoops.bsky.social you just brought up the pin down play the Thunder ran with Durant in 2012 in the context of Wembanyama. Color me impressed. Sincerely a massive thunder fan #nba #nbaradio

For real though, why didn't Denver tank that game against San Antonio? They could've been destroying the Rockets LOL

Nice work, Chuck. Just the kind of progressive leadership we need in the Senate. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/04/24/p...

An important reminder that just because a CEO says a thing, doesn't mean it needs to be parroted as a headline without context. karlbode.com/ceo-said-a-t...

Look at this damn headline on CNBC.com. The commodities traders are going to give Trump the impression he not only can, but SHOULD use a tactical nuke.

Yes and also I’m not sure how publicly known it is how close it came to becoming black hawk down in Venezuela

Oil is up about 40% since December. If it stays up here, that'll add ~100bps to headline and ~20bps to core. More importantly, it will eat into household's real spending power. It's a drag roughly enough to fully offset the positive OBBB benefits in '26.

Didn't realize just how many AI and crypto, MrBeast and digital-deaging commercials there were until my wife said, "You can't say 'fuck you' to EVERY ad"

Pat Spencer is going to have an incredible story to tell at the office tomorrow.

Why do this? If you told me it's because nursing is a female dominated field and they don't view women as professionals, I might believe you. Nursing no longer a professional degree. See changes to student loans share.google/bZg9KnnHEPAJ...

Russell Westbrook passed Paul Pierce and John Havlicek in scoring on Sunday. He's now No. 18 all-time. Buddy Hield also moved ahead of Paul Pierce in three-pointers. He's Top 15 in NBA history.

That was the first flagrant foul of Steph Curry's 17-year career -- 1,193 career games prior to tonight and zero flagrants. Got called for stepping into the landing zone under an Isaiah Joe attempted 3.

The AI Boom’s Real Economy Problem While AI CAPEX is exploding, the payoff isn’t. Meta’s $70B/yr is only notching $3-5bln in incremental revenue. The kind of poor sector ROI exposing the diff between the dream and real economy reality. bobeunlimited.substack.com/p/the-ai-boo...

Thunder fans got everything they wanted on Tuesday: a ring ceremony, a championship banner unveiling and a win over ex-Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets.

You're telling me you can't lose to a team 69 to 3 and then the next week lose to another team which we haven't lost to on your home field since the '50s?

"Kennedy's actions are endangering America's health, according to everyone in a position to know." That's the story. You put Kennedy's side on paragraph 9 after laying out the entire case against him, and then you spend 6 more paragraphs reiterating why he's full of shit. That's a responsible story.

My parents purchased a pedigreed puppy from a well-known breeder. It came with a packet warning them not to vaccinate their dog with language exactly matching anti-vax talking points, incl autism. Of course, within 5 years the dog was riddled with congenital diseases caused by inbreeding.

I feel bad for having interacted with the topic of the night. Mostly because there's no way it's true and it was weird that it became a thing in the first place.

RFK Jr is defunding federal mRNA vaccine research, and justifying it with a bunch of irrelevant research while also lying about what that research says. not great prospect.org/health/2025-...

Donald Trump has laid the groundwork to become one of the wealthiest people on the planet by personally making money from every dollar printed in the United States. And get this... the worse the economy gets, the more money he stands to make. #crypto

This is so much better than cable! Just really fucking cool and great! I love this!

A fun campaign event that makes a point about an everyday thing that's important to New Yorkers? Yeah, you can see why Democratic leaders don't like this guy. Cory Booker's idea of fun is voting to make Jared Kushner's father ambassador to France.

This is Horus. He got a lot of attention on a recent flight in Mexico. Clearly the other passengers have never flown with someone so handsome. 14/10 we're told he was very well behaved (TT: denniabuendagalvn, paulinagtza_, cheetahbash, cristianjbetancourt)

A "substantial new source of revenue" the "budget may start to depend on" that will be "hard to quit." IT'S A TAX. Use the damned language, #BrokenTimes. Throw away your thesaurus and get a damned dictionary.

One of the hidden tipping points underway is the loss of wholesalers that supply local retailers. “It is going to hurt us a lot. Right now, we don’t have a milk supplier," said a grocer after a 100yr-old wholesaler said it would close, citing Walmart..

These long commercial breaks are killing me. #nba #finals #thunder

Found an old YT video announcing Alex Caruso to A&M. Some of the comments: "This dude is the most garbage basketball player in high school!" "give me a scholorship from A&M if he gets one" "He only joined the basketball team so that he would stop getting stuffed in lockers"
