my dad's advice about the knicks "one more day. take deep breaths. be ready"

it is really really insidious and gross that Moulton is using language about generational change and the "same old playbook" about why he is running against Markey. He's a moderate! He wants the same old playbook! He wants to be middle of the road do nothing guy.

I think it's more nefarious than that. There's an established history of companies like Adobe and Microsoft cutting huge deals to get their software in schools because kids growing up with it means they know nothing else and essentially forces it to become industry standard.

The entire reason AI is being deployed in schools is to funnel money out of schools and into tech companies. Whatever reasons you've convinced yourself that AI edtech is necessary, regardless of how "useful" you think it is, it's sole purpose is to pad the pockets of the wealthy.

Every so often on IG I scroll a young Chinese influencer who speaks rationally and even-handedly on illusions westerners have about China (negative and positive) and I remember one where he talked about the perception of Chinese as obedient and calmly pointed out Americans are far more complacent

my hoops fields, they remain barren, when will this drought end

Saw a “jazz historian” on Instagram describe Sun ra’s music as “mid” and that’s about it for me for the day

Knicks are in the finals

remember when the police rioted for months straight in every city in this god forsaken country like 6 years ago

way too many guys who are wrong all the time and also annoying are picking the knicks for my comfort level

all else aside, I think this was the start of a shift for a lot of people- realizing their government was absolutely capable of helping them, but actively choosing not to

The finals schedule is rhe worst possible schedule for me personally. Just work and plans wise I’m gonna be exhausted the day after every game

Thing I’m not gonna like about this is all The annoying Knicks takes that are gonna be flying fast and furious the next few weeks

I’m definitely not a woman it’s weird that I think about what if I was literally all the time tho

still bizarre to see people hate on the knicks tbh…i’m sorry you have closed your hearts to the power of friendship but that’s not my problemo

Fun game, I’m nervous, good night, go Knicks

Wow. A rematch of both the nba cup AND the last time the Knicks were in the finals. Both teams probably feeling like they have unfinished business and want revenge. Wild stuff.

Wild game

Not doing the thing where I root for one team or the other because I think they’ll be a better match up for the Knicks both because it’s bad karma and also because both of these teams are playing like demons rn. There is no “easier” despite what the analytics and such say.

Hoops?

this whole situation really fucking sucks. like, the success of this guy is at least somewhat attributable to people wanting more progressive policies and someone outside the democratic machine but jesus christ he fucking sucks and is unbelievably scandal plagued.

reading caitlin starling's The Starving Saints and I love when my weird mystical cannibal novels are also very horny

straight up this is an intrusive thought for me sometimes

of course the person who switched with my regular weekend work partner to work this weekend with me is deathly ill and not wearing a mask or covering her mouth when she sneezes and coughs. Gonna be a long weekend.

Was excited for this new show but am decidedly less so now. I know everyone is human and I get the writer instinct to portray everyone as such but terfs have so much fucking power and have done so much harm and take up so much space already

Come hear me slowly realize I was about to get one of the shittiest colds I’ve had in recent years but also have one of the best discussions about movies I’ve ever had!!

I love Boards of Inferno's new album, Canada

New boards of inferno album the same week the Knicks punch their finals ticket. great day for Bri

This fucking sucks. Netflix just exists to give one season to things and cancel it. It’s a bummer

Every time they cut to those nuns in spurs jerseys I fucking lose it

Literally heard David Grann say “I haven’t seen the heartbreak of seasons past with this team yet” 5 minutes before I heard that Robinson had broke his finger

Earlier today I was feeling decent about our chances. God damn it. you’re in rest rn what the fuck!!!

is it bad if you’re on a child-free romantic vacation with your wife and every time she asks you why you’re gazing into the middle distance with a loving smile you talk about the Knicks’ point differential

bing bong knicks in 5

Even with insurance my dental surgery was 1400 (which doesn’t cover the fake tooth itself I’ll get in a couple months lol). with a bit of help and my savings I now have 900 left to pay off monthly. Any help to make this a more manageable amount would be greatly appreciated

i want to d*e

Have been at my job for 10 years. Crazy

ive been bad about posting what i'm reading to storygraph and instagram like i was planning at year's beginning but I just finished Sing Unburied Sing and boy howdy what a fuckin book.

we had a lot of fun with this one. i'm real proud of it.

Dropping This Friday! my favorite ep of The Power of '73 Compels Us so far! @palguy88.bsky.social & i cover Christina Hornisher's remarkable Hollywood 90028 & Richard Bare's creakily charming Wicked, Wicked. this episode also debuts our new music intro! stay tuned!

have enjoyed the knicks victory for two days it is time to start feeling stressed again.

the second of these felt like a basketball play but the first of these was obviously deliberate. Man, I want to like Wemby but he's pulling shit like this too often. people are allowed to beat you and play well against you, my dude.

No stop don’t perceive us stop hyping us up we need to be doubted

this is why we love him

still cant believe these knicks

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Knicks are going to the finals after two consecutive series sweeps where only a couple of games in each were even competitive. What…is happening. where am I? I can’t believe this
