@John_Faker Why ignore the 150k+ views he gets on most YouTube videos and 1.5m ig followers? Really bad faith to focus on the one platform that gets the least engagement

Hasan averages between 20-30,000 viewers for his streams.
Half are not American and a non zero number are view bots.
The dems are catering to someone who may only have 5-10k American voters and many of them are the same people every day
Josh Kraushaar@JoshKraushaar
“International audiences lower the bar even further; only about half of Hasan’s audience is American. Ezra Klein is ready to embrace Piker as an important voice within the Democratic coalition based on his popular appeal, but a significant fraction of that appeal is to audiences who can’t even vote in American elections.”

@mcdermott It’s Bill Simmons, specifically his Page 2 stuff back when he was only a writer

There's no Lena Dunham for guys because any straight male millennial writer who writes about sex and relationships as honestly as Dunham has been cast out of mainstream publishing.
Harry@lexaprotools
Candidates for “Lena Dunham but for guys”: Bill Simmons, David Lynch, Nick Mullen, Donald Glover. I am open to other ideas

@DominicMcGregor If you remove only healthcare costs from GDP per capita, the UK moves up several spots. Take into account education costs, travel, assisted living for the elderly. All these things the UK doesn’t try to maximize profits on and that’s why the GDP per capita is so much lower
English
If the UK joined the US as the 51st state.
We would be the poorest state in the entire union.
Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us.
I don’t think people grasp how far we’ve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita.
We’ve seen no growth for almost an entire generations.
We’ve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases.
The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.

JUST IN: New analysis reveals Brits thought the UK ranked 7th against US states in income per person — it actually ranked 51st.

@AndrewDBailey For the Wolves, I’d say Gobert. When he was traded here, the assumption was that he was going to add at at least the threat that he might shoot. They even joked about Rudy teaching KAT post defense and KAT teaching Rudy how to shoot
English
Who is NBA history’s ultimate “if he ever figures out how to shoot” guy?

@MikeDSykes “If the wizards weren’t busy trying to sneak into the playoffs as 7/8 seed every year they could be sneaking into the playoffs as a 7/8 seed this year” is a heck of a take from KOC
English
So tired of this revisionist BS man.
If the Wizards kept Deni they'd be a 30 win team on the treadmill of mediocrity and people would shit on them anyway.
You just can't win with NBA media.
Kevin O'Connor@KevinOConnor
The Wizards could’ve arrived here with Avdija if they didn’t waste 4 years giving touches to Westbrook, Dinwiddie and other mid PGs. They drafted a 6-8 point forward but didn’t give him the ball. Never made sense. The Blazers figured out how to use Deni basically right away.
English
@Nerd_Sesh @Carsobi All the pro-DeMar arguments have been like “he mastered his craft” yeah mastered the craft of being a losing basketball player and never made any attempt at improving his weaknesses
English
@Carsobi I vaguely remember a Bill Simmons pod after LeBron entered the top 10 where he asked “is there an active player in the league who has a chance at the top 10” and decided no. No hate to him, it’s just insane how easier scoring has become in these last 10 years + longevity
English
DeMar DeRozan only needs to average 18 PPG for another 105 games to surpass Shaq in career points and enter the all-time Top 10
I find this deeply disturbing
English
@HPbasketball No, and my expectations for them this season was to join the ‘17 Warriors, ‘96 Bulls, ‘86 Celtics as greatest teams ever. Going 2-4 against the Spurs and Celtics and their skid post-Finch ejection killed being an all-time team
English
I'm really interested by the idea that the Thunder are, objectively, an All-Time team. Wins. Point Differential. Defense. Defense with Offensive Capability. Led by MVP. Depth. Coaching. Culture. Execution.
But they do not feel like the all-time great teams *to me* and I do not know why. (Thunder fans, I get they fell like that to you and that people SHOULD view them that way. Read the first part again.)
If you're not a Thunder fan, does OKC feel like an all-time great team on par with Warriors 2016, 2017, or say, Heat 2012 (who were objectively much worse than OKC), OKC 2014, 01 Lakers, etc? If not, why not?

@kenyanmcduffie Your plan is to decrease the current rate of new housing being built? Really?
English
I grew up in DC. I bought my first home here. I know what it takes to make it in this city, and I know too many families are being priced out. Today, I'm releasing Homes for Every Generation: my plan to build 12,000 new homes, cut approval times by 50%, double first-time homebuyers, and protect 20,000 affordable units. This is what I'll fight and deliver for as Mayor. kenyanmcduffie.com/housing #HomesForEveryGeneration #FightForAllDC #FightAndDeliver

@UofBasketball I really hope they trade Randle for a better defensive lead guard than Donte and run Jaden at the 4 next season. I think his weak side rim protection has become even more valuable than his POA defense
English
Jaden McDaniels makes a long-running case for best weak side rim protecting wing in the NBA...
Absolutely erases guys at the rim.
Basketball University@UofBasketball
Rim Defense Landscape... ➡️ More Rim FGA Defended ⬆️ Lower Opponent Rim FG% What stands out?

There’s not really a reason for a bar to stock more than these 3. It covers all your bases succinctly
English
@jjmaples55 That’s exactly what he’s saying though. Making 500k as a 20 year old makes you so out of touch that making a 75k salary at 23 will look like a pittance. He’s not saying they should make less than they’re worth, just that they’re not being set up to mentally enter the real world
English
75K salary with 500k as a windfall with no student loans is an absolutely wonderful place to be at 23 years old lol.
This is what out of touch looks like
Garrett Hickey #INVICTA@Coach_Hickey5
Ding. Ding. Ding. It’s not the top kids that this system will fail. It’s the kids who make $500k and then $600k. They graduate, their careers sputter out and then go to get an office job and make $75k. What are they going to do then. The ncaa won’t care…
English
@AlanMCole No clue on Dulles, but my guess for National is a combination of being smaller and having a three checkpoints including a separate one for budget airlines in terminal 1
English
@HPbasketball But what happens when teams hit 24 wins? Maybe it solves January and February tanking, but it would make March and April tanking that much more egregious outside of the truly awful teams (who would actually deserve a top pick the most under this system)
English
... holy shit, I don't hate this.
Fastbreak Breakfast@fastbreakbreak
one single reform: can't pick in the top 4 if you don't win 24 games (KOBE)
English
I don't think any of these are good solutions. First two plans are just too punitive to bad teams and would make rebuilding through the draft too unreliable, thus keeping more teams in the cellar. I don't know that the third plan disincentivizes tanking at all.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. 2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently. 3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.

@gldivittorio Combine the fact that it would take years for the State Department to process that many passports and this administration asking states for their voter rolls, my guess is Trump would instruct the State Department to only process R voter’s passports

@TimGarrisonMN Well said and good for Rob to find some success, but March basketball on bad teams means absolutely nothing. Fans want to blame Finch, but Rob could have easily been doing this in a Wolves jersey too if they were fine with winning 17% of games he plays >5 min like Chicago rn
English
Rob is doing exactly what I thought he’d do going to a bad team that can afford him consistent 25+ minutes. It doesn’t mean he’s a winning player or that the Wolves made the wrong move.
Rob consistently deviated from the game plan, shot 33.3% from the floor, had a turnover a game despite averaging only 9 minutes, and on top of it all was undersized.
Bones actively out played him. On top of that, the guy we traded Rob for is doing pretty damn well too. Im personally way more focused on what we have over worrying about a talented young player who was outplayed by the shell of Mike Conley.
Tim Garrison@TimGarrisonMN
Bulls fans have more than they think with Rob. There’s real talent there. He just needs actual minutes. It would not shock me to watch him average 17pts 7a next year.
English
@NickVanExit And why do they know so much about profit and revenue but not valuations. Team values are up 3-5x across the board over the last three years, any company would happily trade profit for that sort of growth
English
How do all the people who can’t name more than 3 WNBA Players know so much about their revenue and profits and business model?
English
@NewsWire_US Lmao only because he couldn’t walk back his anti-war messaging. Only in death could Kirk remain principled
