Some personal news...👀 I can't thank @heathwcarter enough for his support and encouragement to pursue a #ReligiousBio of Medgar Evers. This is only a start, but already, it's been a journey.
Heath Carter@heathwcarter

I am delighted to share that @PLConnelly will publish a #ReligiousBio of Medgar Evers in the @eerdmansbooks Library of Religious Biography series. The book will come complete with a foreword by @JemarTisby. Can’t wait!

@PLConnelly DS earned a HOF spot with her post-game interview alone, dealing with that Geno rubbish like an adult.

Ok I have a few theories on this... - Where you live in the NFL matters slightly less because unless you're in the playoffs, you're gone for the worst months of winter. You can head back to Florida or Texas rather than spend a winter in Minneapolis. NFL offseason is longer too. - NBA guys have to travel so much more that their home base is inherently more meaningful. - This is the biggest reason, I think: NBA careers are more stable. In the NFL you sort of know you're living year-to-year. Your contract is minimally guaranteed, one injury can change everything. Under those circumstances, being with the best organization, the one that's gonna put you in a position to succeed, is critical. Whereas an NBA guy can take a longer view on his career, assume more easily that he has 15 years, and then think a bit more broadly about what he wants out of that time. He's getting paid either way so he can say "you know what, I'd rather get paid in Miami than Milwaukee."

This is my sentiment exactly. Like no one complains about playing in Green Bay, Wisconsin in the NFL and there's guys fighting to be there but somehow the Bucks will never get a decent free agent Superstar if Giannis leaves. It's honestly annoying and it's like NBA players don't really the privilege they have to play professional sports.

Well said. Lebron's Lorraine Motel themed shoes (!?), apparently priced at over $200, make his comments trashing the city of Memphis even more egregious.
Clayton Collier@ClaytonJCollier

LeBron profits off of Memphis' history, then uses his enormous platform to dump on the city. Disappointing to put it mildly. Maybe on that next random Thursday, he could visit the National Civil Rights Museum again—one of the many places that makes Memphis so special.

I'm an NBA fan, have traveled 3 hrs to Grizzlies games, and had a great time. I've never understood this weird, self-defeating obsession w/ markets in NBA culture. Pundits, podcasters & players obsess about it like no other pro league. Should the Chiefs just move out of KC?

Raheem Palmer@iamrahstradamus

Everything in the NBA is obsessed with big markets to the point where it feels like people only want teams in NY, LA, Miami & Houston. Oakland lost their team to San Francisco and the soul was completely sucked out of the Warriors’ home arena. Maybe, just maybe, having teams in some of those smaller markets where the real fans aren’t priced out is good for the league.

Does Congress not get a say in a policy shift as tectonic as this one?! Where is Congress?! How the hell does this or any president have the right to destroy a military alliance of many decades, based on his personal decision?

@jennfrey Hopefully. The difference may be that AI actually destroys institutions instead of cheapening them.

At the same time many in higher ed are shamed for being Luddites and not finding ways to adapt to AI, there is some evidence of de-teching in secondary ed. By no means the majority view, but enough school districts are banning phones/restricting devices to merit our attention.

“We just felt we couldn’t have Chromebooks be that huge distraction,” said Ms. Esping, 43, Kansas’ 2025 middle school principal of the year. “This technology can be a tool. It is not the answer to education.” nytimes.com/2026/03/29/tec…

I don't disagree, but the deep irony is that many formation-based institutions are making reactive decisions when it comes to careerism, credentialing, and uncritical AI adaptation b/c of sustainability concerns, which thereby undermines the very formation framework they promote.
Daniel Darling@dandarling

College isn't for everyone, to be sure. But a good college education is more than mere credential for the place you get your paycheck. It's formation, it's curated learning from the best in their field, it's develping habits that stick with you for a lifetime. It's learning how to learn. It's a bridge from adolescence to adulthood.
