  1. Some people really like thumbs.
  2. While this is "fun" (as fun as a sitting POTUS all but admitting he's a pedophile can be) and will certainly have more staying power than the usual Trump crime/cover-up, anyone thinking that this is what breaks MAGA and finally turns the tide against him is crazy. Fox and regime-friendly podcasters are struggling to find their footing at the moment, but give them a couple weeks to figure out their talking points, and everyone will be back on program.
  3. A lot to unpack with this one.
  4. Steve Kerr: having personal vendettas against young players, then trading them way past their peak worth since 2014.
  5. Not trying to make this specific to Kerrville, but most people in most towns get along perfectly well face to face. Then they go home and rant to their spouses about how you, or people or look, think, or choose sexual partners like you, are what's wrong with the country.
  6. I'm absolutely guilty of this. I don't watch college basketball anymore save for bouncing around the competitive tournament games for a couple of weekends a year, so it's hard not to be a little skeptical. It's been a long ass time since the NBA has had all All-NBA caliber American white dude. You have to go back to Minnesota Kevin Love. Before him, all the way back to John Stockton and Mark Price. Even if you lump Steve Nash with them, that's a lot of under-the-rim, "coach on the floor" type skill sets. Gordon Hayward's best year was 22, 5, and 4.
  7. The whereabouts of the FEMA director after a week has passed isn't on topic?
  8. Shut the fuck up, Mark.
  9. As someone who completely cut off the ESPN teat (F1 app), I applaud this move. Though, it has come to my attention that some people root for college football teams that are worth watching more than twice a season and may not share my opinion.
  10. Exposed...and then (likely) forgotten and unchanged.
  11. After all these years, I'm still fascinated that he thinks this kind of shit helps his immediate situation or his reputation, rather than just making him look bitch made. Windhorst+Shelburne basically means this came straight out of Bron's mouth. Bruh, you're 40 years old, making $60M per, and they drafted your son for you. What else do you want? The ONLY chance you have at another ring is Luka coming in to camp in the best shape of his life and carrying the team on his back, letting you pick your moments.
  12. Arguing that we shouldn't give humanitarian aid to bad actor countries (hey, don't worry, we're not anymore) if they don't stop committing atrocities is certainly a take.
  13. Jesus fuck. The standard is Russia, China, and Yemen don't get to be our allies that we supply with more weapons than they know what to do with, and the military spends countless hours war gaming possible scenarios with them if they overstep. Is this a bit? Now, if you want to criticize our problematic relationship with Saudi Arabia, by all means.
  14. The person who wrote that doesn't actually believe it for one second (assuming he's ever been in a single corporate meeting), and he doesn't give a fuck.
  15. Just so we're all clear, we're at the "why is Israel held to a higher standard than Syria, Sudan, and Yemen?" phase of the discussion. And soccer spray dude wants to be taken seriously.
  16. People fucking suck.
  17. How many of those other countries does the United States directly supply with arms and munitions and deploy B-2's on their enemies when they ask us nicely?
  18. They're legit going to make a WNBA video game??? Ahh, it's going to be a part of the NBA game. I see.
  19. Sure, but the hope is that elected officials humor, but ultimately ignore, them and make decisions in the best interest of all their constituents. But the GOP--even at the grassroots level--is now in the business of creating more crazy political ranters because they're incredibly easy to manipulate for votes...so long as you indulge their insane conspiracy theories with your voting record. Which seems to be what happened here. Crazies are the base now, and we're going to get more and more people killed trying to appease them. The monster is too big now.
  20. At this point, if Rex ever manned up and admitted to being wrong about something or having multiple accounts, I think I'd somehow lose respect for him. His hard-headed ass is pot committed after all this time.
  21. Yeah it was. Fuck. Even with water against the sliding glass door of what's essentially their 2nd story and coming up through the floor of their pillared house, it clearly didn't dawn on them that they were minutes away from swimming. Otherwise, they obviously would have assigned one of the men to each of the kids, just in case. But how can you possibly begin to grasp that your house will be floating soon in real time?
  22. So what? Go all-in when you can win realistically win a(nother) championship. Only took OKC 13 years to grasp that.
  23. No one gave Steph any grief when he first stepped into the league because he was just the fun, baby-faced skinny dude who could really shoot and who might make a few All-Star games. As soon as he started winning MVPs and a title, threatened the status quo, and took away other players' shine, that very much changed. Then, he was the rich, soft, light-skinned, ex-player's kid who never struggled a day in his life (laughable when discussing a 5'6" high school sophomore with serious NBA aspirations), who was attracting casual, predominantly white fans to the league. There was absolutely resentment from the cool kids club, namely LeBron and CP3. Klay caught some of it too for many of the same reasons. Steph didn't truly shake it until 2022. Obviously, it's much more pronounced in CC's case, but expecting established players to just accept and embrace the outsider who's not "like them" because it makes the entire league more popular isn't a natural human reaction.
