@LDrogen As someone who took up golf in their mid-50's under duress (after years of friends' urging) I am pretty surprised how much it expanded my social life vs my other sports - skiing and surfing - that are not as social

sports
the answer is sports
if you play sports you see the same people on a regular basis without the pressure of deciding to be great friends or not
it's really that simple and easy to engineer

Was talking about the discourse with a friend at a bar last night (a rare occasion these days), and my main take is that the most valuable asset you can have in your 20’s is a lot of good friends you see often IRL. Maybe people should reverse engineer that.

@llbuythat @ChrisCillizza He says “he’s got a…person I’ve known for a long time.” It’s his typical mushmouth, but he’s clearly referring to his future daughter in law.
English
@omacadams @ChrisCillizza Didn’t he say “him”, and has Trump really known her for a “long time”?

@LivingsMike @atrupar but Shaq had zero outside game. Wemby runs like a gazelle, too. Prime Shaq was incredble, but nowhere near as athletic.
English
@atrupar Shaq was an equal freak. Bigger(Width). Moved faster(Scarier). Big Ben shut his ass down in 2004. The Pistons have the bigs to body Wemby up. Switch Duren, Stew or Harris onto his ass each trip down and he'll be locked.
English
Wemby is an absolute freak of nature. It’s almost unfair. There’s a force field around the basket when he’s on the floor and the only hope is draining 3s or wearing him down. I’ve never seen anything like him. Go Wolves, but sheesh.

@jemelehill The great Scal line: “I’m closer to LeBron than you are to me.”
English
Yes, it’s true. Bench guys can also do this to a lot of college players, too.
But The New York Times wrote about how average gym hoopers stupidly think they’re better than the “worst” pros nytimes.com/2021/04/19/spo…

You think this is true or false?

@SGmymindandme @JoeMuto @kyle4prezident lining up for Caliente Cab? I guess it's more authentically Mexican than Mars 2112

@TheStalwart in fairness, naming your kid Kai/Ocean is pretty douchey
English
This is kind of funny and weird. So I checked out ChatGPT's new image builder, and gave it the same prompt -- to create a screenshot of an annoying LinkedIn bro's page -- and once again, the AI fabricated someone named "Kai"

I asked NanoBanana to create a really annoying LinkedIn profile

@TheRewatchables @BillSimmons The Maltese Falcon overlooked
English
@BalzacHangman @TheRewatchables @BillSimmons Maltese Falcon was shot in LA, tho. Feel like you can't be an SF movie if you didn't actually shoot in LA (which was also the case for the most of Ant Man, btw.)
English
@TheRewatchables Actually suprised they picked Vertigo and Bullit as movies only started existing in 1980. (Of course they left off the Maltese Falcon). And Fincher's "The Game" is even more SF Centric than "Zodiac" And typical @BillSimmons cluelessness, 48 Hours Chinatown scenes filmed in LA.

@jaycaspiankang one of the best parts of running programming at MSG was going into any bar in NYC and seeing my stuff on the TV. just the best feeling.

@ChrisCillizza just amazed that Kamala doesn't want to be governor. She'd win in a walk.

The utter lack of interest in Porter is striking

This is an absurd headline! It’s like saying Nirvana was a psyop because it had a major-label push!
English
@CanDoAutistic @politicalmath Why would you come here and not stay here. Kinda weird to stay somewhere where you have to have a car.
English
@politicalmath If I were you stay around the peninsula area, south of San Francisco. The safest place that’s closest to San Francisco is Millbrae. Stay at The Millwood. Millbrae Pancake House is next door and is a landmark brunch place that you have to try once.

@TheStalwart the cope is so stupid. the whole golden age of newspapers was the result of papers successfully bundling news with classifieds, TV listings, comics etc. like Wordle is any more shameful than Hagar the Horrible
English
There's a lot of cope about the NYT only thriving because of recipes and games.
The question is: Why was NYT able to build out these non-news revenue streams?
It's because the newspaper has an incredible brand, such that it could be extensible.

Would absolutely love to do a focus group of the 3% of Americans who say they feel favorably toward *both* parties.

@daveweigel This is nuts. The issue wasn’t that she was having an affair. It was that she hired that same person as her deputy!
English
There was some awareness (beyond politics junkies) of the Corey Lewandowski stories but this also, likely, makes the people who are sympathetic more sympathetic to her choices in the marriage.
English
The sympathy for Noem isn't that surprising. Hillary Clinton's first huge surge in favorables, which made Dems more interested in running her for Senate, came during the Lewinsky scandal.
