Skylar-Rickea-Dijonai-Azura-Kamilla is a pretty fun 5. I don't know if it's *good* exactly, but it'll probably be fun.

Someone said this is the Chicago Sky every time they do a trade 😭 #WNBA

Institutional failure sent Angel Reese out of Chicago. Sky owner Michael Alter must break the cycle — or sell the team.

Can the Sky PLEASE fire Jeff P already? Jesus Christ how many more assets can he possibly give away while staying bad before they take the job from him.

76ers toughest opponent the last decade

I have seen multiple job listings on job sites for positions with the California Post, the sleazebucket rag spinoff of the putrid NY Post, where they don't mention the employer name, because it's known to be a Nazi agitprop outfit devoted to inciting a mob against mountain lion conservationists.

I have had some version of "he wants all of us to be buried with him" in stuff I've written about Trump in the past and usually but not always taken it out. It didn't like looking at it, mostly, but over time it just became one of those things that was too obvious to bother with. It's all sickening.

how is it that the worst front offices in American professional basketball are both in Chicago?

me when all the Bulls losing this year ends up for nothing and they end up with a mid pick in a generational (at the top) draft

Overdosing on oxytocin

I heard a goose and little did I know it was a goose on da roof

fascism, conservatism, modern liberalism all stem from the same core beliefs of private property and class hierarchy; they exist on a continuum that is compatible with the capitalist mode of production, and even the most ardent "liberals" support something resembling fascism at the periphery

@tiedye.bsky.social just said "what about a lesbian tag team and they are called bi erasure". really good

The Bulls finally shut down Jaden Ivey and Jalen Smith for the season. Their handling of Jalen’s calf injury — which clearly never fully healed — was perhaps the most confounding part of this post-deadline span, at least to me.

Aphantasia sounds like a nightmare existence, but also might fix my propensity for living in the past.

I sure hope so. He stinks!

Still looking for this pup’s family! Please share if you can.

It’s the future, it’s inevitable, just accept it, it’s the way we will all be working very soon and there is no point in trying to oh wait it sucks, no one asked for it or wants it, and it’s shutting down forever.

How much money did they set on fire for this? How long did they think they could generate video, something computationally taxing, with no clear path of profitably?

Fever broke lol.

I don’t know what The Point™️ is for the Bulls right now. why suffer the indignity of parting with so many beloved players just to flounder around in no man’s land? was the goal just to force us to spend weeks debating the ethics of tanking?

The Bulls have a real deal, professional Tribune beat reporter writing like a depressed Blog A Bull commenter of yore. They’ve truly broken us

Yoda doing work getting this deal

multiple pals reached out to say this was “the most depressed I’ve ever sounded in print” and tbh probably should just keep reheating it for the rest of the regular season

unfair that haus gets to be this good at music AND drawing etc

Here's a new song called "Do You Have Any Idea How Most People Live?"

The dumbest but most obvious bit of sports analytics wisdom I can give is - if the sum of your positive contributions doesn't cancel out your negative contributions, you are a negative player.

the other day i dropped my new phone that i had just bought like a couple weeks ago because i broke the screen on my old one multiple times. i jumped up and down and stamped my feet like yosemite sam. then it turned out the screen was fine. anyway, how's everyone

"take me to the balkans please!" is another raftery all time

To prove it, this article includes a very simple tax plan for funding the entire Bernie Sanders 2020 platform without taxing anyone in the lower 80% of the US a single penny. And it would FLATTEN inequality.

NEW: I've developed a new way of visualizing how much revenue you can get by raising taxes exclusively on the rich. And I don't see much evidence that the middle class needs to be paying any. www.peoplesline.org/p/revisualiz...

I think about this tweet (from the great Justin Podur) and it is why I lash out at "leftists" who get mealy-mouthed about Venezuela, Cuba, China, Iran, etc calling them dictatorships or evil states or whatever nonsense. You think you're just being a Rational Thinker but you are stooging for Empire

bracket busted after G1 lmao

older i get the more obvious it is that even a modest sliver of power over another person completely shreds the human soul. not sure what's to be done about that "haha" 👍

this is horrible. fucking hell man

Now we’re cooking

Stacey King's poster machine comes out for this Matas Buzelis dunk

NBA players with 100 blocks and 100 threes this season: Matas Buzelis Victor Wembanyama

Winning against the Grizzlies is a disaster for tank standings but at least Matas and Giddey are driving it and not, like, Sexton
