Miami being just good enough to force (FL) on the other Miami is a win in my book

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

Choose your own adventure: 1) You see a job opening. You apply. It’s actually fake, only there to make company look like it’s growing 2) You see a job opening. You apply. You get to interact with an AI system instead of interviewer. The AI rejects your CV for no discernible reason. 3) You see a job opening. You apply. Go through four rounds of interviews, plus the personal essay. You actually get the job. Two months later the company makes cuts “because of AI”. Their stock goes up 15%

Been waiting for such an occasion to bring this bad boy out.

The Bam discourse today is a result of watching Screamin’ A. Smith and Kendrick Perkins for the past decade. Putting asterisks on everything, saying nothing matters without a ring. The league and ESPN abandoned storytelling and good journalism, and now you’re seeing the result.

Best night of the NBA season? Bam and 83 (another conversation, but props to him for real) Wemby hit 8 threes (+in the same game Ron Harper Jr. had 22 points playing against his brother Dylan. Props to pops) Cam Payne went 9-10 from the field, 8-8 from three, 6-6 from the line. Near perfect after nearly being done with the NBA Matas Buzelis dropped a career-high 41 (best Ignite alum?) Devin Carter scored 22... in the fourth quarter Kyle Kuzma put up 33 in the same week he got his first career DNP-CD Luka and Austin Reaves combined for 62/18/19 Not to mention, all the other good stuff!

Overlooked reason for the literacy crisis is that media has stopped pushing reading entirely. As recently as the 1990s books were at the center of culture. As kids it was drilled into us that to be successful, you had to read. We need a national campaign to make kids read again.

it’s easy to laugh at the British when they fail at sports like Baseball or Basketball, but it’s important to remember they have their own rich tradition of sports like Soccer, Cricket, and Rugby that they also repeatedly fail at.

A 31-0 team is on bubble watch apparently. Absolutely insane. #EliminateESPN

ESPN used to be a massive group of well respected analysts and journalists. It’s crazy how that’s all changed because of one person 💔

I’ve always said this was my vote for dumbest invention ever, changing the windows at CVS to digital screens, telling you whats behind the windows. The Big 12 court is the same. Solving a problem that doesn’t exist and nobody asked for. Fake innovation for innovation’s sake.

Don't look at me that wayyyyyy 🎶

Blue was a really quality NBA player and, then, coach. One of the best teammates Allen Iverson ever had in Philly, and a major catalyst for them beating us/going to the 2001 Finals. Then, he was running player development when Jrue Holiday was a young guard for the 76ers. Deserves a lot of credit for turning Jrue into what he became. In that sense, his impact still being felt as long as Jrue is in the league. Know he never won the big one at Temple, as player, or won many games as Owls HC, but man, this guy deserves all the respect in the world for what he gave to the game of basketball. 🫡
