  1. Chevron announced a 20% personnel reduction well before the tariffs, but I wonder if they projected this. COP and XOM have been real quiet. COP’s first move to reduce costs is always layoffs. They pay well, but they are allegedly a nightmare to work for.
  2. The Adams made a pretty solid point on the drive hike today. The Suns aren’t the only that shit the bed, and the Rockets should engage with other teams. Who might be available? My top guys are Maxey and Haliburton. No thanks on Harden 2.0. I think Philly regardly runs it back with a high draft pick, so no Maxey. Pacers probably win a playoff series, so I doubt they’d deal Haliburron, but they’re such a small market team, you never know. They might want to go full OKC. No thanks on Zion. Fat and never available. I’d take Booker for the 3 picks, and I’d listen if the Jazz offered Markkanen.
  3. Cranked up Thrawn (2017) today. About 3/4 through. I love Vanto’s Watson. Pryce’s story of palace intrigue is interesting, but definitely the slower part of the book. If Zahn’s novels are adapted in film, they really need to nail Pryce’s casting. She’s a difficult needle to thread.
  4. Living her best life at a new park opening.
  5. Probably an unpopular opinion, but Lars is probably too old for a dedicated Thrawn series. Especially when Thrawn is young. It is what it is.
  6. Finished the audiobook in a day. I have some thoughts.
  7. Ishbia said they won’t rebuild whatever the hell that means. Agreed they’ve ruined Booker. He’s 29 and needs to get out immediately. They'll end up buying out Beall.
  8. Is Maeve sort of a bitch? I think it’s worth a discussion. - Hates her husband’s illegitimate child. - Not only forgives Eddie, she celebrates his senseless murder of another kid. - Wants to murder wives now. - Planted the Archie rumors without much, possibly any, evidence. - Provides piss poor advice to Conrad.
  9. I think KD needs to get involved and pick a team. Ishbia, again a regard, is going to set the price so high that I doubt a trade gets done before the draft. The guy has said on numerous occasions that he doesn’t believe in rebuilding, thinks tanking is dumb and fans that support their team tanking are losers. If he’s not already the worst owner in the NBA, he’s certainly in the discussion.
  10. The Suns will listen to Durant trade offers, but Ishbia is a full regard. I’d offer them FVV for to match salaries and give them their picks. Hang up the phone if they ask for more.
  11. I liked the pilot. That said… the Mercedes Benz pitchman narration took me out of it. Promising start.
  12. The Athletic is reporting that the Mavericks expect to lose 9 figures in revenue as a result of the Luka trade. Jesus. Give me your best conspiracy theories. My favorite is the Adelsons are tanking the franchise so they can move to Las Vegas.
  13. Playoff Jimmy Butler concerns me. Doesn’t scare me, but he can be a problem. I hope they get bounced in the play in.
  14. GSW in the playoffs in is pretty damned funny.
  15. White Potus was elite. Weekend Update killed. Every sketch mostly worked. Good episode.
  16. After that monologue, I really miss appointment television on Sunday with Mad Men and Succession.
  17. He was great in Boiler Room. This sucks.
  18. I don’t think Disney knows what they have. Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn series could be their Game of Thrones. I hope it happens and it’s adapted correctly.
  19. I’ll probably watch Skars’ monologue again, but I want to go in fresh. Need to make some home entertainment upgrades before it drops.
  20. The last two have been smooth ass kickings I’d play the starters through 3. FV needs to play. Needs to find his shooting a hurry.
  21. I’d be over the moon for any of the following: Flagg, Queen, Tre Johnson, Fears, and Clayton Jr.
  22. I should have stated this better. The Suns winning potentially gives us a worse pick. I was hoping they’d lose out.
  23. Tech would be hilarious. North Carolina also funny. Kind of hope it’s UNC because it would be another data point that Belichick’s girlfriend is co-GM.
  24. Ari briefly had his own podcast on The Athletic sans Staples. It was fairly entertaining laughing at Ari’s horrific gambling misadventures. But since reuniting with Staples he gets dumber by the minute. Player empowerment bullshit drive by takes, UF is gonna be awesome next year, and Napier apologist bullshit.
