@MavsHighlights Another year in college should be his path. One healthy year and he's likely high in the lottery in a weaker draft class. #Quaintance

I have no clue who could take Jayden Quaintance

#NBA should use this format for the lottery.

@MavsHighlights Is that the Clippers at #5? And the Pacers are not in the lottery? Did I miss a trade? I would be disappointed with this for Mavs. Nothing against Wagler, but I like all 7 guys ahead of him a lot more.

After lunch Mock What do you like? What did I miss?

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.

COOPER MASSIVE SLAM!!!!!

@MavsHighlights Caleb Wilson. No doubt. Then you have to use all your assets to get playmaking and shooting. Hopefully Kyrie is still starter level, which helps in both areas. Try to sign Grimes or overpay for an RFA.

Who are you drafting at 4 if you're the Mavs and there is no attractive trade back *Big 3 off the board

@MavsHighlights 8. For start of season In decreasing order of certainty: Coop, Max, Kyrie, Lively -locks AJ, Caleb, Naji -in trade talks but stay Powell - 1yr min PJ, Gaff, Klay, Nembhard, BWill -2of5 likely moved depending on draftee's position. Want Bagley but can make more elsewhere #Mavs

1. Skin (Skunk Anansie) - Post-Orgasmic Chill (1998) 2. Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart) - Dreamboat Annie (1976) 3. Christine McVie & Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) - Rumours (1977) 4. Res - Black Girls Rock! (2009) 5. Carole King - Tapestry (1971) @Albumism #InternationalWomensDay

@MavsHighlights I'd be happy to see him as a Maverick. Think I would take him with any pick they get outside of top 4.

First half: 8ast/1TO

In Dallas County,Texas today black and brown people like this woman showed up at their polling place and was told that it was only for Republicans now and they had to go to a different polling place to vote for Democrats! This is Voter Suppression & it happened all over Texas.

JUST IN: Meta sold 7 million Ray-Ban smart glasses in 2025 alone. Workers in Kenya are watching the footage. Not metadata. Not anonymized clips. The actual videos. People undressing. People in bathrooms. People having sex. Bank cards. Medical documents. The blurring is supposed to protect privacy. It fails constantly. The contractors see everything. Here is the part that should stop you cold: You did not buy the glasses. You did not agree to the terms of service. You did not consent to anything. But if someone wearing Meta glasses walks into your bedroom, your bathroom, your doctor's office, your home, a contractor on the other side of the world may be watching you right now. The person wearing the glasses consented. Everyone else in the room did not. Meta's defense is that this is all disclosed in the privacy policy. They are technically correct. Buried in language so dense that 99% of users never read it. And even if they did, it would not matter, because the terms govern the wearer's data. Not yours. You are not a party to the contract. You are the product being annotated. Millions of AI-enabled cameras walking around in public. Recording constantly. Uploading to servers. Reviewed by humans earning a few dollars an hour to label your most intimate moments so the algorithm gets smarter. This is not a bug. This is the business model. The EU is already asking questions. MEPs submitted formal inquiries to the Commission this week demanding answers on GDPR compliance. The problem is obvious: European data protection law requires consent from data subjects. Bystanders are data subjects. Bystanders never consented. The entire architecture violates the regulation by design. Meta's response has been silence and a reference to terms of service that do not apply to the people actually being filmed. Google Glass died because people called the wearers "Glassholes" and banned them from bars. Meta solved the social problem by making the glasses look normal. They did not solve the privacy problem. They hid it. Seven million units sold in 2025. The installed base is accelerating. Every unit is a potential surveillance node operated by someone who may not understand what they are feeding into the system and reviewed by contractors who see everything the algorithm cannot process. The question is not whether this becomes a scandal. The question is whether the scandal arrives before or after the glasses are on 50 million faces. Watch the EU. If Brussels moves on GDPR enforcement, Meta faces a choice: disable human review in Europe and cripple the AI training pipeline, or accept fines that could reach billions. Neither outcome is priced into the stock. The glasses are selling faster than ever. The contractors keep watching. And somewhere right now, someone you have never met is looking at footage of you that you never knew existed.

@MavsHighlights How many more games can Coop miss before he's ineligible for awards? Gotta be getting close. #Mavs

and to be clear, he has been fantastic. his shooting is spectacular. it just so happens, that THIS SEASON, he is clearly the second-best rookie basketball player.

the nerds have officially wed themselves to Kon for ROY

@talkfaist Beautiful! But, I thought it was this scene from WandaVision at first glance.

also got the most gorgeous print ever🍁🥹

@toddarcher "Love staff"? What?

Jerry Jones on the young defense love staff under new coordinator Christian Parker that averages 36 years of age:

@MavsHighlights As a world-champion anti-social loner, I like him a little more now. But, asking out of games and missing big games for no obvious reason is a terrible look. If #Mavs got #1 I'd rather they took AJ, but if Peterson's there at any other pick, you gotta take him and be thrilled

Peterson calls himself an "antisocial loaner his whole life" 😬😬😬

Tony Gilroy says the 'clown car in Washington' appears to be using the same 'Fascism for Dummies' playbook he referenced when writing the Empire in 'Andor' "it’s the same shit all the time. Get rid of truth, get rid of a free press, destroy communities, nationalize the businesses, find an arbitrary enemy that you can elevate and false flag them through propaganda. Flood the zone with as much gak and atrocity as you can so that nobody can pay attention to what just happened, and pray that you have an overwhelming majority of sheep that will follow you. It’s just tragically and sadly familiar. It’s on them; it’s not on us" On AI regulation, he says 'there [couldn't] be a worse bunch of clowns in charge of it right now' "You couldn’t set the bar any lower than where it’s being set in Washington right now" (via @THR)

@MavsHighlights Naz Reid is a certified ##Mavs killer. Good against everybody, Wilt against the Mavs.

Naz Reid is such a great 3pt shooter for a big

@MavsHighlights Not a rotation player. I doubt they can move that contract, so I'm resigned to him being on the team. His improvement the last 3 weeks make you feel a little better he can at least be an overpaid end-of-bench player.

would you be good with Caleb Martin remaining a rotation player next season?

@NickVanExit Low bar. Hopefully neither on next year's team.

Middleton is better for this version of the Mavs than Klay
