Animals, Van

conceptualizing a craft cocktail bar where customer describe ingredients and flavors they like and regardless of what they say the bartender makes them a gatorade and vodka

@jaycaspiankang i think its generally good to support addressing structural causes rather than band aiding symptoms through your friends charity

I don’t understand what’s happening here. Is this AI? The end is so weird. Instead of explaining why this diaper policy is bad she says basically ‘Gavin should just make everyone rich and stop crime.’ What!?

@mattkalish I’m a normal person and I can’t bet more than $3 on a future on your site. That is why exchanges make sense.

Idk what people are smoking, there’s not a single exchange product experience for normal people that is remotely close to the delivering the caliber of experience that regulated sportsbooks do. They are 2-3 years of development away (before regulatory touches the product at all)

@JuniorMinton @ZaidJilani You stated you didn’t understand why this would be undesirable by Derek and co, I’m saying it’s because many of us don’t consider this right tail established by earned creative creation and protected by IP law to be a problem

@van_animals @ZaidJilani The point here is that "the spoils" are completely defined by what we have allowed them to be via laws, contracts, enforcement structures etc. To the extent that we believe allowing a runaway right tail is detrimental to the same society that enables it, we should be amending.

Bruenig is running circles around Thompson

@JuniorMinton @ZaidJilani Why does the right tail need to be amended? Lucas and his wife crested maybe the most iconic world in modern science fiction, they should reap the spoils accordingly

@ZaidJilani I am completely failing to see how this is refutable or undesirable by Derek and co: x.com/i/status/20527…

@amicsta You’re never down horrendous if you get a title

Year 9 of the Tatum/Brown era in the books. “UNTOUCHABLE” assets, along with a war chest of other accumulated picks funded by the second-worst trade in NBA history. One Make-A-Wish title, a very expensive team built around a guy coming off an Achilles tear, a net-negative ball-dominant wing, and cubic zirconia Marcus Smart is all there is to show for it. Down horrendous.

@Clevta he cant play

Does Vucevic have a disease or something? How can Mazzula bury his only big man vs Embiid

@ConnorAllenNFL its still +150 on caesars go

Sizable movement on #2 pick in last 10 minutes: Kalshi: 60% Bailey to 54% Reese Bookmaker: Bailey -160 to -120 DK: -205 to -115 Bailey I’m sure this will flip a few more times before the pick is announced 👀

@connor_long15 garrett wilson and AD mitchell is a perfectly fine outside recieveing core

Happy Draft Day! My last minute thoughts regarding the #Jets ahead of Round 1... -I believe Arvell Reese will be the pick at No. 2 as he should. Fits perfectly into what Aaron Glenn wants to do, met multiple times with the coaches and FO. -The Jets can't leave the first round without a premium pass catcher... No excuses. Even if that means a trade-up to "go get their guy," then do it (within reason). That's how baron the WR room is. -The reports of more and more tackles expected to go in the top 15 is great news for the Jets as it can potentially open up the WR board. Who I think the team ultimately leaves in the first round with: Arvell Reese, EDGE, Ohio State, and Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana.

@amicsta 80-1 tho

be so for real gang, this dude ain't "hearing" anything 😂

@amicsta @GetUpESPN looking back last year with this regime, early in the draft process the word was membou, then in the lead up to the draft every national reporter had it flipped to warren. pick ended up being membou. wondering if a parallel here.

Peter Schrager on @GetUpESPN "I don't have a draft since maybe Mac Jones vs Trey Lance where it was still undecided who the number two or number three overall pick was going to be at this point in the process. I say David Bailey, Dan Graziano has reported Arvell Reese is the favorite, and that's the beauty of today for the NY Jets and their fans. (Talks about how he has Bailey in his mock) Arvell Reese though around the league, talking to teams. There are many NFL teams who believe 'Schrager, you're wrong. It's Arvell Reese'." youtube.com/live/uXf9yPtt7…

@Timo_NFL lighten up timo

presenting the idea to harm another person in order to help the favorite team to a sports fan base of all audiences is not as funny as he thinks it is.

@THECRACKEN24 @jaimestaples it wasn't a $50k buy in, it was more, his share of the loss was $50k

@jaimestaples This might be a stupid question. But how does 27 k not cover a piece of someone in a 50k buy in tournament? How smart can you be to front more than half or 3/4 and think there’s a positive outcome financially?

Btw this is not who owes me re my tweet last week. Hopefully DPeters gets on his feet or liquid and pays back Dylan.

@THR are we ready to admit baby reindeer sucked too

@ConnorAllenNFL honestly an awesome tool. thank you for building.

This is why I built this tool. We are getting some BIG pops on NFL Draft props right now on prediction markets: - $6.4K on David Bailey NO (42%) to win $8.9K - Jordyn Tyson #5 overall exact (21%) for $586 to win $2.8K - $1.2K and $1.4K on Bailey YES earlier today at close to even

@amicsta styles +125 to go top 5 on FD rn

Gregg knows ball

@TheStalwart Sounds like Tracy

Asked it to make the tweets more specific to the market. And like… what?

I asked Opus 4.7 to come up with 10 tweets in my voice. And they sound nothing like me. But some of them have a kind of bizarre or absurd quality that I kind of like

@SecretCFO I’ve seen this treatment of ARR (last year value as contract ARR) but never for unguarenteed years

Wot.

@itsartwithwords @cursedhat @HariZiyad I mean obviously the Pitt is a step up from the librarians

@cursedhat @HariZiyad this feels like a slap in the face to so many people, in particular a lot of the Librarians, Falling Skies, and Leverage: Redemption diverse cast & crew & fans that he worked with when he was making TNT genre work way before his second renaissance with the pitt.

Wyle shared this information unprompted by the interviewer and said he told it to his cast: “If you're looking for a more inclusive community where you're going to be respected and honored and valued, good luck to you.”

@Clevta @DKThomp the honest challenge here is that the game of basketball has fundamentally changed so much it is putting a much higher strain on bodies. The obvious counteraction is to just cut the number of games.

well considering the increase in injuries during the playoffs which has actually swung title contending odds (Tatum, Haliburton, KD, Kawai to name a few) the last few years these teams are so focused on keeping stars healthy in the regular season moreso than playing full go. They'd rather sacrifice a few reg season wins vs putting their players health in limbo. Not sure how that ever will be fully rectified

I think one way to get at the NBA's problem is to start w the question: What would it look like for a professional sport's regular season to be the equivalent of a pre-season exhibition period—that is, something that genuinely, truly does not matter at all? 1. For starters, seeding wouldn't matter ... bc home court advantage would barely exist, in which case the best teams could win the championship as an 8th seed just as easily as they could win as the 1st seed. 2. The playoff series would be long enough that (a) the best teams had ample opportunity to prove their superiority [unlike in March Madness, or the NFL playoffs, where 20 bad minutes can end the best team's season] and (b) you're giving casual fans a LOT of basketball to watch so they don't feel bad about skipping most of the regular season. 3. Also, you'd let the vast majority of the teams make the playoffs -- maybe by adding a "play-in" that extends potential playoff qualification to, like, 2/3rds of the league. 4. You'd have several teams that recognize (and practically celebrate!) the futility of the regular season by spending much of this period *actively and flagrantly trying to lose* bc the draft is so much more valuable than the outcome of any particular week, or month, of regular-season competition. In fact, you'd have fans actively rooting for about 1/3rd of the league to throw away most of the regular season bc they only really care about getting a high draft pick. 5. Finally, you'd have a sport where it was basically impossible to win a championship without a top 10 (or, really, top 5!?) player, in which case many franchises are rationally fixated on throwing away regular seasons to maximize their chance to draft or trade for a top 10 guy. ... okay, I think you get my point :) I love listening to basketball podcasts in the autumn and winter, and I love watching playoff basketball in the spring. But I think there are very deep structural reasons why the NBA regular season, for many casual fans, feels like a prolonged preview of an actual sport that begins in April.

@LargestAdultSon are you not being paid for when you are working?
