Vile stuff. Perfectly clear that Robert Kennedy Jr. is a fascist and trying to position himself as Trump’s heir apparent. I just want to take this moment to shout out all the post-left contrarian types who embraced him as some kind of independent voice for truth. Good job, losers.

Just look at the adjustment that the Valkyries made on Angel Reese: Games 2 & 3: 51 points, 17-for-28 shooting, 16 FTA Games 4 & 5: 15 points, 4-for-20 shooting, 10 FTA

It's the most hilariously on-brand thing for Natalie Nakase and the Valkyries that, after losing big in Games 2 & 3 while playing good defense but being unable to score, their adjustments have primarily been about making the defense even better lol.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

A call I'm not sure I've ever seen before: Jaylin Williams grabs a defensive board and then turns to help up Isaiah Hartenstein from the ground. As soon as their hands touch the refs whistles a turnover, because Hartenstein's rear was out of bounds.

FINAL: Magic 111, Knicks 102. With loss to the Paolo-less Magic, the Knicks become the first reigning champs since the 2012 Mavs to start the next season 0-3. Next up is the unbeaten Pistons, who currently lead Philly. Sean Sweeney's first head coaching win comes at MSG.

i had no idea the MNBA was such a narrow-margins business that moving a single regular season game could incur unmanageable issues & losses. evidently a very fragile business run & played by v fragile boys

a UK food delivery service experimented with AI-generated images for restaurant menu items that lacked pictures. they stopped when customers reported seeing some unusual new dishes. a tiger-prawn dish became a bowl containing actual tiger cubs. friends, i think the tech may not be ready.

The media is going to do the exact same thing whether you make a cutesy crack about Trump's decorating or call Trump a deranged, corrupt pedophile who is putting kids in gulags and plans to destroy democracy forever, so you might as well do the second thing imo.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that if Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are speaker and majority leader, no matter how large their majorities are, no progress will be made. They will do nothing.

October 25, 1983: The 76ers top the Spurs, 114-113, at the Hall of Fame Game in Springfield, MA. Julius Erving had 20 PTS/8 REB & Andrew Toney added 19 PTS for Philadelphia. San Antonio's George Gervin scored 45 PTS (14-23 FG) in the game (which was played with no 3-point line).

Ultimately, if you only have time to know one thing about all of this, just know that not a single solitary tech oligarch, tech company, or tech-backed politician has a single solitary serious commitment to the existence of Black political power or economic security in their plans for the future.

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

$446 million of his (sometime) reported net worth of $1 trillion means he’s still only spending 0.0446% of his net worth to try to buy elections. put in more concrete terms: if you had $100, this would be like spending less than 5 cents. now tell me again why i should vote against a wealth tax.

I can’t keep straight who is “J-Will” and who is “J-Dub” on the Thunder so I just call them “the flopping-ass bitch who looks like he’s going to cry all the time” and “the fake All-Star from those dumb-ass commercials” and it’s a little wordy but it’s helpful to me

One of the craziest comebacks I have seen in this building. Sixers were dreadful all first half and then hit a level of intensity the Cavs simply couldn't match in the second, overcoming a 29-point lead. Insane start to the year THE RECAP from me allphly.com/sixers-home-...

A story on a night that it’s hard to believe happened: LeBron James and Jaylen Brown playing in Philadelphia (for the Sixers), a gross half followed by a euphoric half, another masterful halftime adjustment, a 29-point comeback complete. Read this one: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-vs-ca...
