@megaloid6 @DaCaveOfWonders @dilanesper Duh. x.com/i/status/20542…

@extramsg @DaCaveOfWonders @dilanesper Wtf does that prove

isn't the fairer comparison to Jordan's last shot as a Wizard?

@matybumpmauk @DaCaveOfWonders @dilanesper I used the larger age gap to prove the point. It's obvious when you make it 50 years old that age matters more.

@extramsg @DaCaveOfWonders @dilanesper Sure but the age difference is like 5 years not 15. If LeBron stopped playing at 35 I think his body would be in better shape at 40

I was recently awarded a New Aesthetics grant from @patrickc and @tylercowen to try to invent a new ornamental style of architecture. I’m going to do this through drawing, because just as writing is thinking, drawing is imagining. You might invent something new when you sit down to solve the problem of what your version of a thing should look like. Link to my full project description below 👇

@AnneKershman @calpokerRBK @mukund @kent_kincaid Up above someone concludes that's the restaurant based on neighborhood and cuisine and style, I believe.

@calpokerRBK @extramsg @mukund @kent_kincaid He didn’t name the restaurant as far as I see. Where did you see that he named the restaurant?

I rarely eat out. Maybe once a month. Went yesterday to a restaurant (Italian, Mediterranean) in West Seattle for Mother’s Day last night. Total for 5 of us ( we don’t drink alcohol) with one salad, humus and 3 vegetarian pastas was $97 The check said 3.5% surcharge for credit card. Then 17% service fee, mandatory. Then tips were 20% 22% and 25% optional. I asked if I could pay in cash. No. They don’t take cash. Then how can I avoid the credit card fee I asked. You can’t. So I asked why the service charge. It pays for the employees they said. Then why the tip I asked. It pays for front office staff I don’t get it.

@DaCaveOfWonders @dilanesper (That said, there are a lot of factors at play: genes, how well you took care of yourself, your eating habits, your drinking and smoking habits, how many injuries you got, the healthcare and treatment you got along the way, and so on.)

@DaCaveOfWonders @dilanesper It's clearly not the case. A 50 year old Lebron who never played since he was 35 would be a lot worse than today's Lebron with the extra mileage.

@DaCaveOfWonders @dilanesper Age is more important than number of games.

@dilanesper No that's still not fair, because Lebron played 550 more games than Jordan. You should compare Jordan's last shot with the Wizards to Lebron's last shot with the Cavs when they were both at around their 1000th game.

@kawhi_ring Wilt is the most dominant player of all time, not Shaq. Kobe is the most overrated player of all time.

What is Kobe? Lebron - Greatest player of all time Jordan - Greatest scorer of all time Hakeem - Greatest defender of all time Curry - Greatest shooter of all time Kawhi - Greatest perimeter defender of all time Rodman - Greatest rebounder of all time Magic - Greatest passer of all time Shaq - Most dominant player of all time

@PolymarketHoops If you win a championship it's an A. It's that simple.

Give the LeBron Lakers era a grade. 2019: Missed Playoffs 2020: Championship 2021: Eliminated in 1st Round 2022: Missed Playoffs 2023: Swept in Conference Finals 2024: Lost in 1st Round 2025: Eliminated in 1st Round 2026: Swept in 2nd Round One championship, but only three playoff series wins since the bubble title… LA failed him. 💔

@mukund @aakashpathak_ I think you're lying. x.com/i/status/20540…

@aakashpathak_ These were hidden fees not service fees.

@mukund @kent_kincaid Any mandatory fees have to be included on the menu with their percentages. Name the restaurant. Otherwise I find your claims to be not credible.

@kent_kincaid This is a useless opinion and a waste of time. Just don’t comment this nonsense. It’s not that we can’t afford it. My question was related to hidden fees post the food. Get a life

@mukund You made this part up.

BTW when I said tip was “optional” the options were one of the 3. Not no tip

Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran? Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.

@TheEclectic @conor64

@conor64 Why not? He's going to the HOF. He won a chip here. He broke Kareem's record here.

They better not retire his jersey in L.A.

Trump going anti-capitalist

@martymush They already do. Just not so blatantly.

Why wouldn't the 12th guy on the bench just give a cheap shot to Wemby now? This is the precedent your setting
