man this is wild it really doesn't look like this in person lol

Jaden McDaniels wants #TheCup: "When I see the court, I’m like, it’s just time to win the money. We ain’t been to Vegas one time. At least come in 1st, 2nd or 3rd we get a little bit of money. So, whichever one we come in, I’m cool – we get a little wire transfer."

the nba cup just means more

It’s a fun filler episode

sometimes it’s nice to have a game where you don’t really learn much but it’s a lot of fun

i’m worried the jazz are going to be a bad influence on these kids

it’s never going to happen i’m sorry

the halftime show was the kids playing a basketball game and they genuinely looked like they had never played basketball before so his moment lol

who cares about the defense it’s way more fun to be good at offense anyway

jazz playing the worst 18 minute stretch of professional basketball i’ve ever seen in person

wolves on pace for a 112 point win

the wolves are going to shoot 70% from the field forever. i am never going to die

alright feeling pretty chill about this one lol

lol target center just played goosebumps on that randle layup. incredible.

i don’t know what to tell you the court is cool in person

every now and then i’m like “you know what? i don’t think my wife is gonna divorce me if i eat the last of our peanut butter cups. she doesn’t have the guts.”

an embarrassing thing about me is that am late to games a lot because there are nights where i’m just not feeling the national anthem so i try to time it where i miss it

virtue signalling is good actually

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

one of my favorite things in lord of the rings is when the hobbits say “hullo”

i think a lot of people across the political ideological spectrum have not fully come to grips with the fact that the republican party is, in it's current form, just a death cult. that's occam's razor explanation for all that they do.

we are up to 950 flights that have been cancelled today and it's only going to get worse from here

and there you go. sorry to do this but this is chuck schumer vindication. democrats are asking for one single concession, something that would tangibly help people and also help republicans get reelected and they can’t even do that

i will wait to judge this until i see how it works because it's clearly the smallest possible ask dems could ask for, would ultimately be a massive benefit to republicans if they agreed to it- so if they won't agree to it it means we are going to be shut down forever

trying to repair my rapidly deteriorating mood by thinking about how good that target center diet coke is gonna hit tonight

do they still not have a fun song to associate with the nba cup? they really gotta get a fun song to associate with the nba cup.

this feels like a classic case where the prosecutors probably could’ve charged the guy with *something* that would stick (idk DC law but maybe disorderly conduct) but overreached because they were mad and charged something they couldn’t prove. tale as old as time

The note is pretty good evidence that the sandwich guy jurors carefully evaluated the legal merits of the DOJ’s case and weren’t collectively engaged in a nullification exercise.

The Timberwolves recent road trip to New York was a chance for Naz Reid to be around family and friends, and to honor his sister Toraya. “She’s very selfless, and I want everybody to know that.” www.startribune.com/timberwolves...

in what many sources are calling "a huge dumbass move" i saved up all of the work tasks i least want to do for friday

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

pablo i think sometimes it’s okay to not find out

one thing that’s been interesting to learn reading lord of the rings is that the orcs are simply republicans

anyway another thing affecting my mood is that i’m worried the wolves are going to lose to the utah jazz this evening

i learned at an immigration response training that legally speaking, if someone with a mask and absolutely zero identification that they are with the federal government tries to kidnap a person. you are still guilty of a crime if you try to stop them even though you couldnt possibly know.

the news is back to being all bad again :(

kinda crazy that they announced the flight cancellation stuff like 18 hours before it would start fucking with stuff. feels like something you could’ve been preparing for for a while?

i wonder what % of americans don’t even know the government is shut down

it is so so so bizarre every time i watch this. feels like 1000 years ago

The key factor that everyone seems to always forget is that Trump was the host of what was once the highest rated show on network TV - a purportedly non-fiction show that portrayed him as a hyper-savvy and hyper-successful businessman.

if you cannot prevent your model from doing this, you have an ethical, moral, and, probably, legal obligation not to release it, and if you’re working at openAI right now, this blood is on your hands, too

up to 776 flights canceled tomorrow…the fact that it’s slowly ticking up makes me feel like this has not been thought up well?

we should reward people for wanting to work for the common good and not private profit!

This goes for civil service salaries, too. Outside of major metros where locality pay boosts apply, the highest-paid federal civil servant tops out at $190,000. We literally can't build software in-house because almost nobody is willing to work for federal salaries. It all has to get contracted.

it’s not jury nullification, it’s jury looking at the facts, what is legally considered assault, and going “who the fuck throws a sandwich at a riot cop intending to injure them”

you are officially allowed to throw a delicious sub sandwich at federal agents! comedy is truly legal again thank you mr trump

We have reached a verdict: Not guilty.

starting to think this is going to be a fucking disaster

trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with my brain that i just immediately have started refreshing the flight cancellation page all day. why do i need data so bad! www.flightaware.com/live/cancell...

i really dont think these people are equipped to live in the world they built.
