Everybody was Kung Fu fighting…

I’d love to hear some strategies for staying on top of all the crazy shit happening EVERY GODDAMN DAY, doing the work when able, but not absolutely slaughtering your already-tenuous mental health. I want to do more, I want to be strong enough to be consistently active. But damn, I spiral.

@brosandprose.bsky.social Visiting a friend I got BHAYR for - “I fucking loved it. I could relate to pretty much every character at some point. It was so enjoyable.” Just wanted to pass it along. Happy New Year!!

I think my Christmas wish is to watch 5-7 years of a healthy Spurs core vs. a healthy Thunder core. #nbasky

I’m sure I didn’t come up with this, but I originally wrote this formula in April 2017 and haven’t seen an earlier one. Made a few updates last year to reflect rule changes, etc. #nbasky

@joelanderson.bsky.social Man, listening to your genuine reaction of pure joy on The Press Box. It got to me. That was so cool to experience.

Wemby was +21 in 20 min in a game the Spurs won by two. From the second he entered the game for the first time, you could see how just about every other Spur just calmed down a bit and played like they didn’t have to do it all. Especially Harper and Vassell. I hope we get this as a 1 vs 4. #nbasky

If Fox and Wemby can actually both be healthy together for any period of time, they’ll have a really effective 2-man game. I know that’s not breaking news, but Fox can really draw attention with his speed that could open up the post a bit more than Vic is used to. #nbasky

Something tells me this game may end the Cup experiment in Vegas. MVP vs Wemby and it can’t sell out T-Mobile on a Saturday? Yikes. #nbasky

Man, Vassell’s vision is so poor tonight. Had Harper wide open on the baseline and took a contested 3. #NBASky

I know it’s “just” the NBA Cup, but if it ends up being Knicks vs Lakers, I may have to sell an organ to get a decent seat. #nbasky

I’m gonna be “twitter-raw” with y’all. We’ve had Merchants of Joy circled for a week or so because of how close it hits our family. Hoo boy. We didn’t even make it through - it’s going to be a 2-parter. The NYC Xmas tree biz is like nothing else on Earth. Any questions, feel free to ask.

I don’t say it much despite being a Lakers fan - but holy shit that play at the end encapsulates so many of the reasons why LeBron is a top-3 player of all time. And yet, I’m still surprised the ego didn’t take over to try and keep the streak going.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Are you a mole for the Republican Party? I’m starting to think that is what this is. Either a mole or you’re compromised because you CANNOT BE THIS BAD AT BEING A SUPPOSED OPPOSITION LEADER UNLESS YOU’RE TRYING TO BE.

The officiating in this Seton Hall/USC game is the type of officiating that ends with investigations. This is brutal.

@keithlaw.bsky.social KLaw! Happy Holidays. We are hosting Friendsgiving in the new house. We will have 5-6 of us partners who are all pretty socially anxious or awkward. Any good games for that large a group? I think all of us are gamers to varying degrees. Thank you!

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social You are so massively disappointing. You think you’re going to win ANYTHING by parroting attack lines from a group that would literally disallow your marriage and would take away your child? Don’t worry. We will still fight for your rights while you abandon your values.

OMG. #WorldSeries

Rojas should have been on third on that base hit earlier in the inning, no? Decent secondary lead, didn't have to jump over the ball, and it wasn't a very hard hit ball. Would have made that fly ball a run. #WorldSeries

I do all the laundry and most of the wardrobe organization. Doing an overhaul right now, and I am once again reminded that the insane range of sizing in any given size in women’s clothing is criminal and a non-trivial aspect of women’s issues regarding beauty, self-image and societal expectations.

In the glory days of twitter, this would be a HOFer.

As a former grave worker for a lot of years, this would have created SO much goodwill for me. If I were on the fence, or ambiguous about an election - this would tip the scales.

For all my #poker friends and strangers… Oh, is that your diagnosis, Dr?

Adam Silver: The NBA is a highlight league. #nbasky The highlights the NBA App shows you from an OVERTIME GAME:

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know. By @deldeib.bsky.social

I see today is one of those close the laptop/turn off the phone and go touch grass kind of days.

I don’t think it will happen, but it would be pretty funny if come January, we’re all like, “Finally, Jokic has a sidekick that makes the All-Star team.” “Oh, Murray made it?” “What? No. Aaron Gordon”. #nbasky

I really like the effort and “give a f*ck” the Hornets are playing with this season so far. A far cry from the past couple of years. Even if they lose this game, they’re learning. #nbasky

Jesus, she’s even starting to adopt that “look” they all seem to have.

The Mavs losing at home to the Wizards—especially the way they lost—is a massive red flag for this season. Forget the PG issues, the lack of defense is alarming. Especially with the personnel. #nbasky

I was thinking last night how I am more invested in this NBA season than any in recent memory. Felt confident it was because nat’l & int’l affairs are so paralyzingly depressing for me, hoops was acting as my sanctuary. Welp. #nbasky

Great f’ing line here.

Just imagine - if it was only 65-70 games and nobody had to play back-to-backs - we would have quality and competitiveness like this EVERY NIGHT. Interest in the league would be so much higher. #nbasky

The scary thing is the Mavs are one of the better equipped teams to “limit” Wemby. #nbasky

Re: my last post. Per usual, JCM said it way better.

Dear @grahamformaine.bsky.social, it's great you've made positive changes in your life. Your heart has clearly changed. Thank you for your service & willingness to continue that service representing your state. However, our actions & words, even in our "younger" days, have consequences. Withdraw.

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but Russell Wilson's comments have a lot of dril "im not mad" energy.

Happy NBA Opening Night Eve to those who celebrate! 🎉 #nbasky

I honestly don’t care if Raleigh wins the MVP over Judge but I’m at a gaming bar and the guy didn’t move down one machine so Sarah could play so when he interjected in my conversation with someone else saying “it’s a crime” if Raleigh doesn’t win the MVP, I absolutely acted like he was insane.

I know there are more important things going on today, but can we discuss that last night was almost definitely the greatest individual game by a MLB player in HISTORY?! Quite possible one of the best single-game achievements in ANY sport?!

I mean, shit, this couldn’t possibly be better said. I don’t have much unique reach on here, but heed these words.

Ok, I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation or I’m missing something, but… THAT ISN’T HOW ‘COVERT’ WORKS.

@howardbeck.bsky.social I really admire (not sarcastic) your commitment to the bit in the Clarity Index - deducting points from the Hawks clarity for not doing something (extending TY) that I feel you wouldn’t do in a million years.

@howardbeck.bsky.social I feel like you’re the only one who *might* appreciate this. Working on songs for an upcoming gig. Singing No One is to Blame and I just changed it to, “Aspirations in the clouds…” but the Clips go down the drain. I just… I needed to share it. I’m sorry you’re the victim.

I’m having a hard time not being broken by *waves arms* this. Trying to figure out how much I would need to go up and help resist and protect. If I’m being honest, I probably wouldn’t make it back. And how fucking crazy is that?
