Asked Rudy Gobert what surprised him about Victor Wembanyama when they were teammates during the Olympics. "A few weeks ago he asked me what kind of filter I had in my house for water. It just tells you how his mind is. I try to talk to the young guys here about the food they eat and stuff like that. But I don't get those type of questions." Ant hasn't asked you about water filters? "Never. Not yet. I pray for that day."


Pretty crazy take. If you take our undergrad TA compensation package and measure it as hourly pre-tax income, it's $89 to $102/hr. How is that 'unfair' comp for a 19-year old with no degree and no job experience, when it's 4x+ pretty much every other university?🤔 A good chunk of that is the tuition remission OP mentions, which 80+% goes to students who don't qualify for a penny of financial aid. As I'm quoted in the article, that means we're using other kids' tuition and state funds to subsidize tuition for those wealthier than average, which is exactly ... the opposite of what a government institution like the UC should be doing. I question the negotiation process between public employers and labor unions. The people who run negotiations at the UC Office of the President aren't negotiating with their own money, but rather the money of the taxpayer and the average tuition payer, and the deals they agree to are in my opinion a slap in the face to the taxpayer. P.S. here's how our undergrad TA comp compares to other universities: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… (see column G for total comp pre-tax equivalent)

That girl was traumatised 💀

you ever talk to someone and just know their highest stat would be special defense

El enfrentamiento entre Utah Jazz y los Grizzlies esta noche puede ser más interesante de lo que crees: Si Utah gana, podrían perder 10% de oportunidad de quedarse con un pick top 4 del próximo draft. Si los Grizzlies ganan, podrían perder 7% de oportunidad de quedarse con un top 4 del draft. Los Grizzlies tienen a 12 jugadores lesionados. Utah Jazz tiene a 8 jugadores lesionados. Nadie quiere ganar este juego.
