I'm so thrown that there isn't an NBA playoff game tonight. I miss my two-month soap opera when it's not on. For me it's just the most wonderful time of the year.

Love this writer and this piece. @mattkeliher.bsky.social, you turned me on to him years ago! www.newyorker.com/sports/sport...

I mean if you know you know. So funny.

Last year I read a predictions roundup and every single analyst picked L.A. Every one. This year the tally on ESPN was 15 to 1. Sheesh. I get that the series isn't over, and I get that the Wolves frustrated during the year, but does everyone just forget how we did in the last two first rounds?

The last minute of this performance is still the most mind-boggling display of talent I've ever seen on network TV. Love his smirk at the end. He knew he was the best. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeuF...

I miss and think about Prince every day. You may think I'm exaggerating but I'm not. Check my YouTube history.

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

Jesus Christ, these are third-graders.

EVERYONE I know knew that shovel story was bullshit. At least there seems to be an investigation happening and hopefully accountability. Hard to take anything DHS ever says post-incident seriously again. They lied in MN every time something happened. Every time. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...

Jesus christ, he's spending a billion dollars a day on a bullshit war. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Well this is just wonderful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bNb...

I had the Bourdain mortadella sandwich for the first time on Monday and proceeded to eat it every day this week for lunch. I imagine Tony occasionally ate other things. But goddamn.

I have watched the Julius shot 20 times today not just for his clutch brilliance but the world-class Joe Ingles shove on the bench. I mean that's so good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=74yD...

I'm currently at 73 percent according to my Kindle but I can't get to it for a few hours, which will leave me about two to finish. I think I can do it; it's a terrific read. Wish I could sip and savor but I dawdled. And sadly this isn't my first time playing beat the library clock. Anyone else?

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

"Researchers noted that the overall 60 percent figure represented a 17-point decline from where trust stood following the most recent presidential election and that each political party experienced a double-digit drop." thehill.com/homenews/cam...

I love thinking of Robert Duvall living with Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman in NYC when they were all broke stage actors. I mean goodness.

RIP Robert Duvall youtu.be/Hn6zbpV98ag

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

I've long thought Robert Duvall's performance in the Apostle is one of the most underrated acting jobs.

Pam Bondi should really smile more.

Seattle is the city I love as much as Minneapolis so happy about the game. Hooray, @elundy.bsky.social!

So this is a headline on Huffpost: "Republicans Condemn 'Incredibly Offensive' Trump Post About The Obamas" Are you fucking kidding me? 3 fucking Republicans said something. 3. Stop giving them credit for not even doing the absolute minimum. This is ludicrous.

I mean look at this fool. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

Homan is bald Bovino and he's already sounding like Robert McNamara.

Alcaraz's defense is so sick. When he locks down he out Novaks Novak and I've never seen anyone do that. Also worth noting, Novak is 38 for god's sake. He's never been my king but I recognize GOAT doing GOAT things.

ICE is camped out at a free clinic/food shelf on the Northside if you'd like to see how de-escalation and targeted enforcement is going.

Maybe they'll find the Epstein files in the Fulton County Board of Elections office . . .

Inspiring scene at Joyce Uptown Food Shelf this morning. So many donations! Grateful to those volunteers meeting neighbors on the sidewalk in five-degree weather.

BREAKING: One in critical condition after shooting involving Border Patrol in Arizona, according to NBC News

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

My report from Minneapolis, about the things you'll never see. newrepublic.com/article/2057...

You fuckin rule

So it's 4,000. "The Justice Department said a total of 4,000 federal agents have been surged to the state, with about 2,000 coming from ICE and 2,000 coming from Customs and Border Protection. A specific number is to be provided to a federal judge some time later today."

My favorite footage from yesterday was protestors asking ICE thugs if they plan to go to Argentina and their not understanding the reference.

Except these solders are out-of-shape rageful morons.

The band's devotion to Baron von Raschke has always been laudable, although Mars is a holdout. Probably a Crusher fan.

The footage tomorrow of thousands of Minnesotans protesting in -40 weather is going to be amazing. It's going to make the Ice Bowl look like the Caribbean. I can't wait.

Confirmed w civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong's lawyer that she & Chauntyll Allen were arrested by federal agents this morning in downtown Minneapolis. Armstrong participated in the protest Sunday at a church where a pastor leads the local ICE field office. Pam Bondi tweeted the arrest.

Delighted for everyone involved in "Sinners," a wonderful work of filmmaking, but now I'm worried about Oscar night. That many people of color bunched together is going to bring ICE down on the red carpet.
