I don't understand the negativity around the #Kings We have a top 8 pick, we found hidden gems in 2nd rd Raynaud and undrafted Cardwell, trade assets in Sabonis and Keegan. It's worse to be in a position like the Bucks, Pels, and Grizzlies. Failed superstars with maturity issues. #nba

Don't draft Duke players. For every cooper Flagg, Tatum, or Knueppel there's a Zion, RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, Marvin Bagley, Justice Winslow. I could go on and on. #nbasky

I'm more optimistic. At best, this was going to a playin team. We had injuries, some players quit on the team, we have a rookie coach, so we stunk. But, we get a good pick and we got to see some of the young players develop. More positives than negatives. #Kings

I'be always been registered as independent. This Swalwell story doesn't surprise me and it doesn't affect me. I'm not an automatic vote for anyone or any party. #independentvoter abc7news.com/post/califor...

Not once in this story does @politico.com mention that US factories employ ~89,000 fewer employees than a year ago. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Melania's speech isn't odd on its own. The timing is curious. Sounds like she's trying to get ahead of something. Maybe someone has evidence she's afraid of leaking. Maybe Iran. Could Bondi have dirt on Melania and she's using it for leverage? www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

When 4 Non Blondes asked "Hey, what's going on?" It wasn't a rhetorical question. #badtakes

Kids meals in restaurants should be for all ages. I want a corn dog, plain hamburger, and some chicken nuggets too. #badtakes

Monty Python is overrated. Clockwork Orange is overrated. All the Godfather movies are overrated.

WE NEED BAD IRRELEVANT TAKES IMMEDIATELY FLOOD THE TIMELINE

Kings fans are now Nets fans. #tanking

The Kings starting five before the season are all out. Keegan, Sabonis, Demar, Lavine and some guards that I forgot about already.

I get weird looks at zoos when I take my kid with a backpack leash. Best $10 I’ve ever spent 😭😂

Huge NBA game tonight. Bucks at Nets. Nets have a brutally easy schedule remaining and are only two games up on the Kings. Nets have the Pacers and Bucks twice. These are winnable games for them. #nba

An Indiana politician says someone fired 13 shots at his front door and left behind a note reading "No Data Centers" on his doorstep.

Trump just told Fox reporter Trey Yingst he’s “considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil” if Iran doesn’t make a deal “fast”—while claiming he expects to be able to get a deal with Iran as soon as…tomorrow. Here we go again…

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work. Now she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. (Published May 2024)

This @bsky.app platform needs to allow videos longer than 3 min if it’s gonna catch up with The Other Place.

If you're Hispanic, Asian, black, gay, or other group Trump has attacked, why would you join the military? Then you get sent to Iran because Trump needs an Epstein distraction. I don't get it.

I actually don't want the #Kings to get a top 3 pick. It's counterintuitive. Kings will feel pressured to take an over hyped player instead of taking the player they want at 1-3. AJ, Boozer, and Peterson are good but not the same level as prior year's top picks. #nba

We are LIIIIIIIIIIVE talking Kings WIN over Pels & NBA: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tw0...

Playoffs, you're taking about... Playoffs? Are you kidding me? The tanking is where all the fun is. Who's going sit, fake injuries, the Giannis drama. #nba

People on mastodon talk about Bluesky the way people on Bluesky talk about Threads

I know people will be mad, but this feels like a game the Kings have needed. A close battle where the young players truly took it home. A ton of great takeaways tonight, read more below. www.si.com/nba/kings/on...

Stop crying about not tanking Kings fans. We're still going to get a good pick. Maxime and Cardwell look good and we have pieces to trade too. Things are looking up. I like winning. #nba

Let's just take the whole West Coast, Washington, Oregon, California and possibly Hawaii. We already help each other.. and we have I-5 connecting the 3 coastal states. We have easy access to trade with Mexico and Canada.

The tanking tournament is heating up. Kings in desperate need of a loss. The Nets has an easy schedule after this loss to the Hawks. Will the Jazz jump ahead of the Kings. So much drama in the NBA. #tanking

Amazon to add 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge for sellers as Iran war drives up energy prices, per CNBC

The OKC schedule is tough down the stretch. Lakers twice and Nuggets. Spurs can still catch them. #nba

20 wins for the Kings! Let's have some faith. The Pacers and nets are only two games up on us. They play each other. That's only one game up after. Nets also play the wizards. We've got this! #nba

Oh, no. The Kings are winning. Pacers are too though. #nba

President Trump said all the Gold Star family members of service members killed during Operation Epic Fury told him to “finish the job” in Iran. Charles Simmons, father of Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons, said he did not. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I keep waiting for the "April Fool's" announcement about Kristi Noem's husband's cross dressing pic. It would have been a good one.

I need, the world needs, a sequel to Tropic Thunder. It's called Tropic Thunder Down Under. It's a prequel that takes place in Australia. It's only released in Australia. All the marketing, interviews are done in character. @benstiller.redhour.com

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs. Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

EVCO is EXTREMELY GRATEFUL to President Donald J. Trump for this absolutely TREMENDOUS GIFT to electric vehicle adoption. Oil prices LIKE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. Incredible. Stunning. THE BEST EV sales pitch anyone has ever seen. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! #EV #ElectricVehicles

I think it is absolutely disgusting that these NFL franchises, that are worth millions, expect municipalities to pay for their stadiums, where they then charge ticket prices that few can afford. Fuck these pro franchises. I refuse to watch these toys of billionaires! Fuck them!

The Kings are one game back of the Nets and two behind the Wizards and pacers. Nets play the wizards, pacers, and bucks twice. Not like it makes a huge difference but bottom 3 have slightly better odds of getting the top pick.

Ace Bailey never wanted to be in Utah. I'd try to get him for cheap. #nba

Omg! Huge shoutout to San Francisco, CA! Ocean Beach, you crushed it! 🌊

March Madness also brings March Sadness. Baseball is back. Only 160 games to go. Yay. #mlb

My Kings draft dark horse pick, Keaton Wagler. A tall PG, good range, needs to add some muscle. AJ, Peterson, Boozer, Caleb Wilson have not impressed me. They all have flaws that shouldn't be ignored. #nba www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
