Gotta remember that name, lovely song! Stephen Star - Persephone stephenstar.bandcamp.com/track/persep...

German sports journalists' brains melting currently, working on puns, as Düsseldorf sacks coach Markus ANFANG (means "beginning"/"start") and hiring Alexander ENDE (well, yeah).

So i was listening to this lovely song and... Maya Hawke is Uma's and Ethan's kid and married to Christian Lee Hutson!? First i was "small world" but damn, now i am like "how fn old am i".

Would not interpret too much into it, next year should be non-guaranteed, minimum anyways... they had to get something fix for the rest of the season. And obv it's good for the relations with Priority. Kid looked a bit overwhelmed for sure.

There are soon-to-be 12 year old italian kids who never had the opportunity in their life to watch their country play a world cup game.

Also shoutout to @brooklynvegan.bsky.social for spreading the gospel on this hard-to-monetize platform lol, this one really appreciates the love that gets put in.

Best fn song of 2025 and it has 3 digit views on the tube smh. Max Knouse - Mint and Tobacco www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOq2...

Went to doge hell for the Jordan Clarkson tribute video so you don't have to in case you missed it.

Is it known yet who takes over the Jazz beat at the Trib? I saw some young looking dude covering BYU wrote some articles now, is it him?

Milei, Orban and Infantino 😂 Worst part is, these 3 at least deliver some comical element looking at some of the other gestalts lurking there. Yeah, i really don't know what's real anymore sometimes.

Here's what i'd ask of math people to ease tanking in the NBA; obv there is no "fix". Calculation period: 3-4 years, an elaborate weighting of 3 factors: - League position in said period - Lottery balls/RNG - Small boni/mali if success>calculated estimate in prior year(s)

What

Another name we should not forget for next season is Gabriele Procida, now with Real Madrid; we still got his draft rights.

Serbian news outlets are reporting that Isaac Bonga, Germany's Eurobasket Finals MVP, has recieved several offers from NBA teams. Has a buyout clause which he apparently cannot activate *right now*, so buyout negotiations with Partizan Belgrad would be needed.

I need to learn more about Fleming and the fit in our backcourt; Peterson would be a dream obviously. Ace can get min. 24+ mins each night easily in a more featured role that is not the starting 5. Finish games, too. Just don't force him into somethign he is not/which would be a waste of his talent.

Could be wrong, but i think it's the Jazz and the Kings who have not a single participant in any of the contests at All Star weekend.

The lottery is such a fickle beast these days, bit of bad luck & you're just not getting anywhere for years. And then you watch the Mavs having their incapacity carry them to another top 3 pick this year probably, i'm so convinced this will happen & they'll end up with a generational foundation. 😆

I'm so sick of rooting for these outcomes lol. Rest of the season will be so schizo. Glad it's over soon, like, most of my most magical sport memories are from my childhood, imagine all the Jazz kids growing up with this bs. Team will have all the markings of a loveable, nasty underdog team.

On another note, i'm having a hard time imagining this as a longterm core aswell due to cap restraints.

Dosunmu next to KG would have been nice, but only for next season.

Get in there and buy low on Dillingham?

It got better without Xitter, but sometimes the utter madness that is the state of Utah comes sipping trough still. 😄 (German FA liveticker was like "have an eye on the Jazz in regards to Morant smh lol) www.si.com/nba/jazz/ons...

You know who would actually work well in that role if healthy... :D

Some valid concerns: i think Ace will get starter minutes next season, but not necessarily as a starter, but in a very much featured role still. You gotta put a very specific player type next to Keyonte to play winning basketball, defensively minded, but equally with some connector skills to...

I think we all deserve this for watching Kyle Filipowski play defense 1 1/2 seasons.

Nah, eff the math... again, Utah is so prone to getting squeezed real good from all types of active NBA entities, this type of calliber with team control until 29-30 becoming available for us, it is just rare. And Grizzlies def knew lol. FA would have done nothing for us either in terms of personal.

Probably should not expect the 2023 dpoy version, it's been known JJJ has been slipping a bit in general.

Now imagine what a turnaround this would be if we get a top 3 pick this year and not... you know, my boy Hannes ff.

That's too funny, i was looking up JJJ's contract length earlier today. Because Utah. I really like the guy. The Jazz don't have such an opportunity very often. Hendricks hurts a bit even if being ass this season, but we don't know about longterm medical prognosis. Disliked WCJ fromd ay 1, sorry.

Largest deficit faced before scoring a point this season... 1. Utah @ NYK, 12/5 - *Trailed 23-0 2. Utah @ DEN, 12/22 - Trailed 19-0 3. Utah @ LAC, 1/1 - Trailed 16-0 * Record for the 30 seasons of play-by-play data. That's one of the craziest notes I've ever seen.

Was about to start a rant re: muisc fomo due to the loss of xitter, curators retracting to patreon & the dystopian entinties we consume music on digitally, but i kinda started hating my own ass half way trough. Anyways, here is Wonderwall. My favourite song of 2025 open.spotify.com/playlist/1uR...

It's the SLC Dunk comment section.

Lamest reaction to a game-winning dagger ever. :D

Funny how it goes, her 2018/19 concerts were almost exclusively frequented by stiff bearded white dudes who were not entirely sure what to do with their hands during the show. Nodding politely tho.

Waaait, and Stereogum is now subscription-only? Ouch.

Can someone code a Pitchfork bot that mirrors their Twitter content here? Seems like they have given up on BlueSky. :(

One of my favourite songs of 2025 and my fav video. Probably doesn't sound like a flattering description of art, but i mean it in the bests way possible... it is like this track cleanses my whole tonal intake afetr a long day. Guitar, sound engineering so crisp, clean, yet "smokey".

It just hit me today, my absolute horror scenario for the Jazz is a Walker Kessler sign-and-trade, followed by a hefty trade for Domantas Sabonis. Who, respectfully, looking at how talented he is... well, is just a solved player when it comes to winning basketball. The Chicago Bulls Special.

Good on Jason Kidd to speak up honestly, could have just let it slide in peace... Mavs fans starting "Fire Nico" chants while their prized rookie was shooting free throws has been one of the most embarrassing fan moments not just in recent NBA history. And that dude in the Lakers Doncic jersey....

Started catching up a bit now... maaan, this could be an epic rookie of the year race again, finally. Harper, Flagg, Edgecombe & Coward look insane! So much promise in this class. Why does it have to be fn Philly, man... the Maxey/VJ backcourt is just a dream, imagine where they are in 1-2 years.

Didn't watch the game, just got up - Kessler 6/7 FT is promising after Ben Wallace'ing for 3 years. I want to believe! Waiting for 10 game sample size, idk if it is just the eye test so far, but Keyonte's inside game is changing/improving. Always seemed a make or break kind of thing for him.

The Antlers - Carnage theantlers.bandcamp.com/track/carnage

Just watched the game... i just hope Clayton Jr. over Jakucionis won't turn into one of those eternal "what if's". Very promising start in general.

Another thing that gave me a warm fuzzy feeling today... so i'm from a rather/catholic rural area in the north-west. You know the prejudices that come with it. It's surprisingly diverse mostly due to the big migration flows from the 60s, mostly people of turkish, kurdish, greek & italian ancestry.

Some NBA team really needs to sign Isaac Bonga (some may still remember him from his stints with the Lakers and Wizards)... he has a confirmed NBA clause in his contract. Developed his shot and refined his defense, which back then already was promising.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy
