Have all these people talking about the Hornets being likable seen LaMelo on a basketball court or behind the wheel? Have they read Bridges’ Wikipedia? www.theringer.com/2026/04/17/n...

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...

whenever people assume I am excited about a movie or show based on something I loved when I was 8 I just think about how weird it would’ve been if my dad got all pumped up about a Howdy Doody movie in 1986

a pistons-hornets 1st round series will FEED FAMILIES….specifically, jalen duren’s family. all other families will have extra time to eat together because it will be over in four games

If you are close, on going on a trip together and hugging terms with someone you cover as a journalist, that is not significantly better or worse than dating and/or sleeping with them. It's the exact same ethical concern.

I trust journalists way more than cops and courts to investigate sexual violence allegations. When a thoroughly reported journalistic investigation comes out, like the ones about Eric Swalwell, I’ve seen enough. If you haven’t done this work you may be unaware of how much goes into it.

I cannot believe how much I’ve had to hear about how dangerous the hornets are

Fireworks should not be available for the general public.

She left her agent because he was in the Epstein files, and just like that, there’s a bot-driven smear campaign. You fell for it with Amber Heard and Blake Lively, stop fucking falling for it.
