Here to Make Friends

@SouthwestAir @JChazen76 I just suggested I be allowed to do this instead of having to cram my suit in my carry on and was told no, so #psa to anyone traveling for work: no more flying southwest

Hi, Jeremy! Thanks for reaching out! Southwest aircraft do not have garment‑bag or coat closets onboard. All garment bags need to be stored in the overhead bins. If you’re traveling with one, you can usually lay it flat on top of other bags in the bin to help keep it wrinkle‑free. - Krystle

@SouthwestAir do your planes still have garment bag closets?

@mcuban What about tv revenue? I may go to a couple Wizards games, but I don’t watch them on tv because they’re garbage. And I used to watch a lot of NBA every night, but now if I see the early games don’t have any matchups between non-tanking teams, I just start streaming something else

Why the NBA should embrace tanking - The NBA has kate been misguided thinking that fans want to see their teams compete every night with a chance to win. It’s never been that way that way. When I got into the nba, they thought they were in the basketball business. They aren’t. They are in the business of creating experiences for fans. Few can remember the score from the last game they saw or went to. They can’t remember the dunks or shots. What they remember is who they were with. Their family, friends, a date. That’s what makes the experience special. Fans know their team can’t win every game. They know only one team can win a ring. What fan that care about their team’s record want is hope. Hope they will get better and have a chance to compete for the playoffs and then maybe a ring. The one way to get closer to that is via the draft. And trades. And cap room. You have a better chance of improving via all 3 , when you tank. We didn’t tank often. Only a few times over 23 years, but when we did, our fans appreciated it. And it got us to where we could improve, trade up to get Luka and improve our team. The nba should worry more about fan experience than tanking. It should worry more about pricing fans out of games than tanking. You know who cares the least about tanking , a parent who cant afford to bring their 3 kids to a game and buy their kids a jersey of their fave player Tanking isn’t the issue. Affordability and quality of game presentation are

@KevinOConnor The guys trying to stop beef stew either didn’t get the scouting report or deserve a Medal of Honor

This angle of the Hornets/Pistons brawl is crazy

Returning from twitter retirement so there’s a public record I called it when Miles Bridges gets his probation revoked

@Liamjsm I’d just put another patch on top of that patch and hope that did the trick

crazy way to live your life

@Carlton_Blade @NateDuncanNBA I don’t think you can call it clutch when it’s not only unnecessary but also wildly reckless

@NateDuncanNBA Jrue to Giannis for the dunk v the Suns in the finals

Crowdsourcing for a project I'm working on: What is the most famous clutch pass in NBA history?

@AriKadoch18 @ThePicksPro Bookmark this tweet so you can rage about why they didn’t mention the weather or both teams’ defenses!

@ThePicksPro Weather says otherwise

@tsarrast What happened to your brain?

Some Trump videos First is about debunking some lies youtu.be/dDpBh-Qi5dE?si…

@strassa2 The fraud it aims to prevent is extremely rare and it has massive (and disproportionate) disenfranchising effects. Losing your ID, changing your name shortly before an election, or primarily using a non-approved ID (such as a student ID) shouldn’t cost you your vote

One issue I agree with the right on is requiring voter IDs. Is there a logical argmuent against that? We require them to drive, drink a beer, or to fly...

lmao

“This is vintage Eric,” mayor says about the crisis he’s currently facing.

SHE WAS 31 YEARS OLD YOU SICK FUCK

@bansky Very fraught wheel of fortune category!

And based on the bank…. I’m doing much better than a lotta these……..

@DougPolkVids Simple example: vast majority of voter suppression and intimidation is challenged by the DOJ. Trump runs the DOJ, fires anyone who wants to stop the it. SCOTUS says this is immune from prosecution, DOJ doesn’t step in. Constitution doesn’t stop this, voting does

@DougPolkVids This is a dumb take. None of the past presidents have refused a peaceful transfer of power, incited insurrection, and tried overturning the election and been enabled by their party in doing so. A “constitutional framework” doesn’t protect against this, voting the party out does

The worst part of American politics is the fear mongering from both sides. So many posts about this election ending democracy, capitalism, etc. We have withstood 45 presidents. Some of them were awful. People should have a little more faith in our constitutional framework.

@tsarrast His lies are “democrats are for killing babies” and “Haitian immigrants bite off dog heads” and hers are like “our interest rates are lower now than 5 years ago” so I think if a moderator were focused on only intervening when necessary they’d jump on the first category

Very interesting selective fact checking and commenting by the debate moderators. No wonder Kamala agreed to her one debate being on ABC.

@AugustCohen4 @matthewstoller Wondered how someone could have such backwards views on the obligation of people seeking office to justify their having such power then saw “former prosecutor” in the bio and it all clicked

Actually, it's really important to end a kind of cultural norm whereby we infantilize voters and where candidates have to spoon feed them info to make good choices at the ballot box. It's 2024, voters have the internet and now ChatGPT, and its time to therefore treat them like the adults that they are. It should take you less than a day to research who Kamala is, her career, and what policies she currently advocates. Treating voters like adults and reminding them it is their responsibility to fully research the people who seek to lead them will lead to a more thoughtful electorate and, therefore, more thoughtful Democratic politicians. Stop infantilizing voters, folks. It's not on candidates to spoon-feed people info.

This kind of garbage cheerleading is why Dems are a party of mediocrities and halfwits.

Just a delightful thread

@blakeflayton 👏Genocide 👏Victims👏Need 👏To👏Grow👏Up👏

Do YOU believe that you are human? Here’s what humans do: Act. Protect their children. Sacrifice and compromise to ensure a better life. The Palestinians are adults, not helpless toddlers. You have the chance, every day, to secure dignity and change the future. You choose not to.

@DeathDonkey So far I’m 0/2 but they both tanked! (They always tank 😕)

@FecklessDem All these years later maybe you can achieve the dream of getting someone to fold trips !

Been playing a decent amount of live NL and being unknown is incredible. If you’re card dead the first few rounds you can just run the most fun bluffs. Float a 3b cbet and raise your turned fd and just watch everyone congratulate on your set after villain tank folds
