Lindsey Buckingham refused to join Fleetwood Mac unless they took Stevie Nicks too. A package deal, he said. The music industry has never recovered and we are all the better for it. 78 facts for Stevie's 78th birthday. zurl.co/jCrk3

@ClaireMPLS I don't use self-checkout because I'm not very adept, but also because I support real people having jobs.

i’m just gonna say it: some of yall aren’t qualified for self checkout. if you don’t have an internal sense of urgency and fine motor skills, leave it to the professionals cause the rest of us are trying to keep it pushin

@mehdirhasan IMO It could only be true if Thiel said he wouldn't support a presidential bid

I doubt this is true but interesting nevertheless

Daily Mail: JD Vance is considering abandoning his run for the presidency in 2028 “JD Vance, now the lone dove in Donald Trump's cabinet after Tulsi Gabbard's resignation, has been left more isolated than ever and is even considering abandoning a run for the presidency in 2028, multiple sources tell the Daily Mail.” Link to article: dailymail.com/vertical-galle…

@HPbasketball If he tries to move the team, Silver/NBA need to stop it. One of the best fan bases in the league deserves no less.

@Acyn Our military weapons are, not coincidentally, those that enrich the military contractors the most. Ike's warning of the military-industrial complex was accurate, but also for the mutual back-scratching that has replaced actual planning. Drones are too cheap for the contractors.
English
Rhodes: What have we learned? These Iranian drones that you can make in a garage have hit our bases, have hit our Gulf Arab allies. An aircraft carrier cannot stop a speedboat from closing the Strait of Hormuz.
And so it undermines the entire concept that America is a security guarantor, both in terms of our predictability and reliability, and our not doing something as stupid as launching a regime change war against Iran, but also just in terms of our capacity and our understanding of where war is moving.

So everyone who finished ahead of Luka in MVP voting also played with another all-NBA player…

@Kasparov63 Accomplishing your goals against Iran would have required a comprehensive plan and coordination with Iranian dissidents and the Kurds well in advance. Trump and this incompetent administration are not capable of that or any other nuanced plan. They'd rather cosplay as warriors.
English
I supported the strike on the terrorist regime in Iran. And I would still support a coherent effort to remove that malignant cancer and free Iran’s people. But don’t pretend Trump cares about any of that or anything other than himself. He thought this was an easy win.
English
"Voices in the administration" are Trump and the polls. The most predictable thing possible was that as soon as there were any setbacks, Trump would declare victory and cut and run regardless of the consequences for US security & economy.
Ted Cruz@tedcruz
I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration. President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy. If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake. The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging. President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.

@DropSiteNews One of the less talked about aftereffects of this idiotic war will be the reaction of our Arab allies, who now must account for Trump's stupidity and erratic decisions, and the fact that we were not able to protect them, and the US aura of invincibility being gone
English
⭕️ The prospect of a U.S.-Iran agreement is drawing sharp reactions across the political spectrum.
🔹Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, one of the architects of Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran during his first term, dismissed the emerging framework on X:
“The deal being floated with Iran seems straight out of the Wendy Sherman-Robert Malley-Ben Rhodes playbook: Pay the IRGC to build a WMD program and terrorize the world.” He called for resumed military attacks: “Open the damned strait. Deny Iran access to money. Take out enough Iranian capability so it cannot threaten our allies in the region. Overdue. Let’s go.”
🔹Robert Malley, Obama’s Iran envoy and one of the chief architects of the 2015 nuclear deal that Pompeo and Trump dismantled in 2018, responded:
“Not quite the path Wendy, Ben or I would have taken. But if this deal brings an end to an unlawful, unjustifiable war, to the senseless loss of life and destruction, and to the cascading global economic fallout, I am quite sure we’d willingly accept it over the alternative.”
The exchange underscores the fact that Trump may be heading toward a deal that his hawkish allies consider indistinguishable or less favorable than the Obama-era diplomacy he spent years vilifying.

I don't watch Cleveland and go "they are Giannis away"
English
@GuruLakers IMO Giannis is on the decline and the only question is how quickly the next contract becomes an albatross. His game is dependent on his athleticism and he won't be able to adapt as injuries and age sap that. In 2 years, his contract will be a cap killer.
English
This is where he wants to be. Giannis so does not want to be a Laker I’m shocked I still see packages.

Giannis Antetokounmpo odds of being traded to the Heat are spiking on Kalshi 34% — Heat 18% — Stays With Bucks 11% — Warriors 10% — Celtics 6% — Nets 5% — Thunder 5% — Knicks 5% — Lakers 3% — Timberwolves 3% — Rockets

@ClaireMPLS @StevePopper @NBA_NewYork He needs to use the underhand free throw which Rick Barry used to be a fantastic FT shooter. Wilt used it also, so how could that be "unmanly" (which seems too be the bugaboo)? Knicks should insist that they won't make a FA offer unless he does it
English
@StevePopper @NBA_NewYork why does he put the ball almost entirely behind his head when he shoots? has to be a contributor
English
@JoJoFromJerz @Acyn So much for Don Jr.'s "coronation" as the prince in waiting
English
Trump: While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so. I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time.
English
@SamQuinnCBS Turner looked washed this year and declined in every category. Bucks have an albatross contract. Detroit would be better off rotating Beef Stew and BBallPaul and spending that salary on wing shooters.
English
If the Pistons don’t actually keep Duren then swooping in on Myles Turner after the Bucks trade Giannis makes sense just since there are so few shooting centers out there. If you’re trying to make a roster suit Ausar’s needs that’s a priority even if Turner had a rough year.
Ku 🦉@KuKhahil
The Duren for Murphy idea is interesting at first but like Bryce mentioned in the episode, that’s basically a two move decision. I can’t get behind that unless they also already have another move for a center ready to be made.
English
@ClaireMPLS @CanyonDriver $$$ will prevent shortening the schedule. So max of 2 pre-season games, start season in early October, start playoffs 2-3 weeks later. Evaluate young players in the summer leagues and practices rather than more pre-season games. No B2B.
English
Can we please extend the season by a few weeks, eliminate back to back games, and extend the time between games?
claire de lune@ClaireMPLS
the league needs to start taking these soft tissue injuries seriously. this problem isn’t going away

The Mavericks are building for a future around Cooper Flagg 📈

@TAizenberg I'm more surprised at Dort, who the Spurs are hoping against hope will continue to shoot long 3s that have little chance of hitting. Wallace or Caruso have similar defensive abilities and can actually shoot the ball

@Colonel_Myway Part of why AOC triggers so many RW incels is that they know they'd never have a chance to "date" her and they hate the feeling of inferiority that gives them

@ThatEricAlper Of course I'd take the money, relocate to an island, and the snail couldn't cross the water, but to be extra safe, I'd have a moat around the house.
