always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Lovely interview by @girinathan.bsky.social in @defector.com with Jose Alvarado's hgh school and AAU coach: defector.com/jose-alvarad...

if you don’t understand Bad Bunny lyrics then you just don’t know ball. It’s 50 percent names of NBA players. “Luka” is the same in every language

My new burger is a cement foundation layered with planks of wood and glass, topped with shingles. It costs a million dollars

I’m not sure who’s going to win the Super Bowl

it's important as a sports fan to hold some demonstrably false beliefs, and one of mine is that Jaylen Brown is bad. i don't mean "not an all-star." i mean not good enough to play professional basketball

Karl-Anthony Towns wearing Amar'e Stoudemire's old goggles raised the Knicks' championship odds from 10-1 to 9.9-1

there is a Taiwanese basketball team that is straight-up named after the DEA. the United States Drug Enforcement Agency is their mascot.

Yes, Gus Kenworthy is a beast. Yes, fuck ICE. No, he absolutely did not piss that accurately into the snow get the fuck out of here that's not possible

i have an NBA trade deadline joke, here ya go: it bothers me that the Knicks haven't been able to acquire a rim protector when Nick Richards was traded for a mere coffee! this was my NBA trade deadline joke! have a good one

i'm so happy for the guy in my old neighborhood who was a Knicks fan but spent all summer wearing a Carlos Arroyo jersey

fuck it, i just emailed my local board of elections

What we loved about Dan McQuade:

Mitchell Robinson is fantastic, man. Never watched a player like him

wriggling

shams has to know. It has to be a bit at this point. It has to be.

The Seth Angle: i want kyle anderson

I’m not at all joking. This is fantastic, painstaking work. A mind-expander and a mind-changer

tfw you listen to Steve Winwood’s “Valerie” in your Toyota en route to the Toyota dealership and then when you walk into the Toyota dealership, Steve Winwood’s “Valerie” is playing at the Toyota dealership. Tfw.

most important movie ever made youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

I love to “make another pot of coffee in case anyone wants some” then drink a personal bonus liter o’joe straight to the face and have seven consecutive panic attacks

Is “penguin shaped piñata full of band-aids” A: something Anthony Kiedis once shout-rapped? or B: my child’s specific request for his third birthday party?

a cool feeling is when you've heard a song many times over many years and it never really did anything for you until one day it just CLICKS and you love it youtu.be/m0ODoeBc04g?...

it is a borderline delirious feeling to see a major contemporary politician espousing something resembling sewer socialism youtu.be/Fqb7p8PKxAE?...

Sixers hold a moment of silence for Dan McQuade.

71,000 dead and here in America our politicians and cops were siding with the murderous regime and expelling students from their universities. a stain that I hope future historians will contextualize for the evil it is.

lol I watched the first half of the Knicks game before getting on a train and just shrugged and walked away like oh well, schedule loss

i keep watching POV videos of people skiing dangerous couloirs and giving myself little proxy panic attacks to, i guess, just permanently sand off the edges of my psyche? i dunno but i keep doing it

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The last few years have seen the largest wave of immigration in American history. All those images we carry in our heads about people arriving at Ellis Island — we just surpassed that. Crime went down. Real wages went up. This is a fake problem. Enough is enough.

get rid of ICE, get rid of CBP, get rid of DHS, let the IRS and idk maybe a national agency of social workers handle everything at the border. Seth 2028

this guy i saw has friends and family who enjoy his company. they all hang out together, smile and laugh and even share food sometimes. clearly this is some kind of op with a million-dollar bankroll and a staff of paid actors, but where does the money come from? Soros?

watching Happy Feet for the first time and this is the closest available comparison to what salvia feels like

every new image I see of Zohran he’s wearing another custom jacket that I want. He’s losing my support because of envy

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

anyway something I've noticed about myself is that my values are changing. i feel differently than i used to about who deserves what and what i'm okay with uhhh happening to people

The Athletic is hiring a new women’s basketball reporter — come work with me and @chanteljennings.bsky.social! jobs.lever.co/theathletic/...

fuck it i'm makin a beans sandwich. who even cares

Yesterday a reporter asked me for comment about Minneapolis’ opposition to ICE. I got kind of worked up and sent way more than I should have. The piece is great—it’s in my prior post. But I wanted post my comments in full here:

I want what they have

i eagerly await a return to 90s-era hypersincere collective enviro-optimism. i'm talkin Free Willy. i'm talkin Return to Pooh Corner. i'm talking Mariah's "There's Got To Be a Way." pandas. trees. sus4 chords. shouting WOO! during the bridge. once we crush ICE we'll be ready

the thing about the Knicks is that I love all the players on this team and I want them to just stay together and figure it out

selling intellectual property door-to-door opening my trenchcoat to reveal pockets upon pockets of IP in different shapes and sizes sir! sir! how would you and your family like to try the latest and greatest intellectual property?

Episode 1 of Regular Season has dropped! In it I talk to @sethrosenthal.bsky.social about an eminently forgettable NBA game from November of 1997, missing out on hookups in college because you're blogging about a Knicks-Bobcats game, and the current state of sports media.

they're making me the new global hegemon. honestly don't have time for this but i'll do what i can

at some point recently Walt Frazier acquired internet access and someone needs to take that away before he gets himself fired
