Hey #NetsSky, here's an interesting data point: After working out with the Bulls and Clippers, Keaton Wagler did indeed cancel his workout with the Nets. x.com/ErikSlater_/...

Whoa. #NetsSky, did you see this? As a U of M fan, I'm bummed for Michigan. As a Nets fan, I'm curious to see how this impacts the Mavs at 9 (or 12 and 17, if the rumored trade with OKC goes through). Did Mara/Lendeborg/Johnson Jr. just become more likely options for Dallas? x.com/PeteThamel/s...

Thread. Why is this *so* blatantly obvious to the rank and file of the two parties, but not the party leaders themselves?

Everyone else in NYC is combing the streets looking for bootleg Knicks gear. Meanwhile, yours truly just went to a Barclays Team Store that is currently 90% Liberty inventory vs. 10% Nets, to pick up this beauty. #NetsSky

It was good to own a castle on the Rhine.

#NetsSky, here are the invites to the green room for next week: Dybantsa Peterson Boozer Wilson Wagler Brown Jr. Acuff Jr. Flemings Ament Burries Mara Lopez Philon Jr. Anderson Jr. Lendeborg Cam Carr Cenac Jr. Johnson Jr. Steinbach Stritz

#NetsSky, let's hear it for former assistant coach, Tiago Splitter. x.com/ShamsCharani...

Hey #NetsSky, have you seen ncmockdraft.com? Not perfect, but pretty good, and tons of fun to play with. 😊

#NetsSky, unfortunately @kevinoconnornba.bsky.social isn't active here yet, but saw this over at the other place: x.com/KevinOConnor...

#NetsSky, I'm surprised we haven't read more chatter about Morez Johnson Jr. potentially going in the 5-10 range. Sure, U of M didn't lean on him like UNC did Caleb Wilson, but that's because Lendeborg and Mara were there. If you watch the tape, he looks every bit the prototypical NBA power forward

***PERFECTION***

Not bad for my first try! www.82-0.com

Good gravy. My Yanks just put an epic beatdown on the A's. 13 runs in one inning, 10 before recording an out. Took just shy of 45 minutes to get through the bottom of the third.

Swift boating worked because democrats did the “we won’t dignify this with a response” thing and looked to the mainstream media to debunk it. It’s one of the dumbest things the party has ever done and it’s still how they operate today.

I see the "Bluesky is a bubble" discourse is back. Serious Q: why TF does anyone care where people engage in social media? Like, if you're a campaign/brand strategist or w/e, you need to know where to be and why, but the rest of us are just chatting with folks we like in a place we're comfortable.

Dan Goldman’s office rn: “whoa whoa whoa, did he film this, in, like, Brooklyn? Is that allowed?” Someone else: “yeah I mean, most of the district is actually in Brooklyn. It’s just we’re afraid to show our faces there.”

New records (again!) in the @fiftyplusone.news aggregate: - First time disapprove has reached 60%. - First time approve has dropped to 36.5%. - First time net disapprove has hit +24% (with rounding). And look at that most recent ARG poll at the bottom – blowing through the Bush line.

Inshallah

Aaand with that, the aggregate breaks +23 net disapprove.

@bskyplays.bsky.social I'd like to play a game of Zork.

You know, #NetsSky, I've been pretty set on my preferences if they stick at 6 (in a *very* tight grouping): 1. Brown Jr. 2. Mara 3. Wagler But a thought that occurred watching highlights of Wagler: I think there's a very real possibility that he and Egor would help each other's games evolve.

Late to this, but this man is a f*cking hero. Every damn word of this, Marshawn, every damn word. Kudos.

#NetsSky, I regret to inform you all that over on Twitter the discourse is now speculating that the Clips will take Mara as Zubac's replacement and that makes sense and also makes me mad. lol Oh well, our choice of the guards if it happens, I suppose.

Aw, man. We knew it was coming, but still so sad to see.

#NetsSky fam, post lottery and combine, what're we thinking for the draft? My preferences as of now: #1) Trade into the top 4 (unlikely). #2) Trade back, acquire a 2nd pick in the teens, take Lopez + Mara. #3) Stay at 6, take whichever of the big 4, Wagler, and Brown remain. (Then, Suigo at 33.)

Sigh. This is what it is to be a Nets fan. Oh well.

Virginia Gov @abigailspanberger.com and Democratic legislature should pass immediate legislation to redistrict anyway. If the old confederate states can do it post Callais - so can Dems in Virginia if they care about saving our democracy.

Exactly. Speaking as a now deeply experienced canvasser, people don't respond to a specific set of words; they respond to authenticity.

I've been a Yankees fan for as long as I can remember (I come by it honestly, I'm from Brooklyn), and this team looks as good as the late '90s squad. Top 5 bats, anchored by the modern day M&M boys, Judge and Rice. Top 5 arms anchored by SP that's arguably *9* deep. 🤞 I didn't just jinx them.

Lol at those bars for "intelligent." le sigh

So this is where we are: Trump: My opponents should be put to death, immigrants are vermin, black people have low IQs, journalists are the enemy of the people Democrats: Donald Trump is a fascist Bigshot media: Whoa, Democrats, isn't your extreme rhetoric promoting violence?

OUTSTANDING chat between two of my favorite political analysts today, @wajali.bsky.social and @mikemadrid.bsky.social. I think they're dead on in their conclusions. Certainly, it all jibes with my own read of the situation. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Whoa. Big news.

I have an ideas to cut back on political violence: hold accountable the political leaders who promote violence, pardon and praise violent thugs, and accelerate the distribution of guns in our society. Trump owns this violence. He is its primary author.

Exactly this.

So, he's going to come back and give a speech the same night? I try not to give credence to conspiracy theories, but man, I gotta say, the three most hard to ignore in my lifetime are the Epstein suicide, the first assassination attempt, and now this.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

And it only took two days to break new records across all of approval, disapproval, and net approval. His net favorability is now down to -22.5. That's just shy of half a point in 2-3 days.

Aaaaand there we have it. With the latest AP-NORC poll, the FiftyPlusOne aggregator now sets multiple new records: *First time Trump's approval sinks to a number beginning with 36. *First time Trump's disapproval reaches 59. *First net disapproval over 22.

Welp, took longer than I recall to pinpoint me this time, but they still nailed it in the end, and within a pretty tight band too.

YES Can't wait for next season.

Man, these Bluesky warnings are getting more and more ominous with each outage. I'm expecting "Abandon all hope" any moment now.

Trump attracts a certain type...

Hey, would ya look at that, government working for the everyday citizen.
