I hate that the Mavericks are ever rewarded for anything, but I feel excited about rooting for Cooper Flagg as a USA Basketball player.

We need American kids to step up to the challenge or we’re gonna get beat really soon, even with All Stars. I hope he’s the real deal.

The Saga of Skattebo ended with a boot-and-rally and team-on-his-back heroism until there were no more tackles to break.

Cam Skattebo, go straight to the Eternal Hall of Ballers:

A tribute to one of the great college football careers, which ended in fitting fashion. We'll remember the Skatteboot and Rally in the Peach Bowl forever.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 2d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump.

Your cowardice is showing — weak men seek revenge on powerful women who hold them to account.

But NY’rs don’t play. Our AG has been a fierce warrior for our rights, time & again. You better believe we’ll be there for hers.

We love “highly likely” correlations based on no evidence in scholarly journals. It’s well-known as our favorite thing to do in our own names, as editors.

Well done worm-brain.

The Trump Administration is the Colonel Jessup of Presidential Administrations except that in addition to all the arrogant, sexist, abusive, sadistic, dickishness it’s also as bungling & hapless as Mr. Bean.

New — I was fortunate to speak in front of students and faculty at Grinnell College in Iowa tonight about the business of independent journalism, the current state of media under Trump 2.0, and billionaire control.

I published my full speech because I thought it might resonate beyond campus:

Truth, morality and independence in journalism under the second Trump regime

I think the whole thing is a distraction even if I think it’s probably real, but let’s see what this team can do. We can win it with this group & so they should just focus on that.

It puts pressure to start this campaign though. Should be fun.

Back on February 3rd, this was published at Sports Illustrated (pictured) & numerous other places, as you probably remember - Giannis says he wants Jokic in New York to show the world European basketball:

Illegal rabble rouser is straight up Nazi talk in this context. You’re likely talking about an immigrant, undocumented or otherwise, who desperately needs medical care. A human being. Whatever percent of the people he’s describing are anti-social is minuscule compared to our nice neighbors.

Or the Knicks can send both OG and Mikal to San Antonio who redirect some picks and players to Milwaukee if Giannis insists on New York.

God Emperor Doom @plootube.bsky.social · 4d

Anyway, there are combos to negotiate for Milwaukee if Giannis forces their hand.

God Emperor Doom @plootube.bsky.social · 4d

The Spurs could load up the picks, Barnes expiring, Vassell and Dylan Harper. The Knicks send them Mikal and OG, and then the Washington pick and some swaps to Milwaukee. The Bucks send us Giannis.

Everyone wins?

God Emperor Doom @plootube.bsky.social · 4d

The fact that Mikal and OG are multi-year lower than expected $ value is a boon to a team doing more team building. Wemby on a rookie deal means they would have room for more.

God Emperor Doom @plootube.bsky.social · 4d

Not sure whether a move of those pieces is the wisest course, but if you’re determined to get Giannis and put him with Brunson and KAT that seems like a plausible path, unless I’m crazy.
