This seems like a great time to mention that Alton Brown is making original content again, now on his own Youtube channel!

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryna make his way home?
Just tryna make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe in Rome
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryna make his way home?
Just tryna make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone

I'm just a great composer
And not a violent man
But I lost my composure
And I shot Ferdinand
Crying "it's well and kosher
to say you don't understand
but this is for Holland-Dozier-Holland"
His last words were
We don't know anything
His fading words were
We don't know anything
And not a violent man
But I lost my composure
And I shot Ferdinand
Crying "it's well and kosher
to say you don't understand
but this is for Holland-Dozier-Holland"

Nerds and nerd-adjacent: G Elliott Morris is the phoenix risen from the ashes of fivethertyeight.
Good morning. I've got a banger new post out today that develops a new method for placing voters on the left-right ideological spectrum, and adds a new, "non-ideological"/affordability axis to usual way we chart & think about US voters (esp swing voters). www.gelliottmorris.com/p/not-just-l...
Not just left vs right: Most voters think about affordability and material wellbeing, not in ideological terms
Most voters want a party that emphasizes cost of living issues and makes the world a better place. Few Americans think in solidly ideologically terms. "Moderates" are mostly non-ideological.

Hand editing your Windows Registry is not something I would normally recommend, but these instructions are simple and direct. Do exactly as directed and you'll be fine. If you get lost/stuck for some reason, tag me.

A few days have passed since I last posted on Sharpe's efficiency:
His current season TS% has declined over the last two games to .535, his 3rd worst season so far.
However he is still trending upward overall, raising his *career* TS% from .547 to .549.
Benchmark: Simons's POR career TS% is .564

Dear bothers and sisters of Blazerdom. Can we get an entire arena to chant "Angel Reese" the next time the Warriors are in town?
It's a rhetorical question. Of course we can. #RipCity

The NBA has issued a warning to Golden State's Draymond Green for his interaction with a vocal fan in New Orleans on Sunday night, source tells ESPN. No fine. The fan was chanting "Angel Reese" toward Green, who responded face-to-face as taunts continued.

I never ever had any animosity towards Anfernee Simons.
Then he had to go and throw Portland under the bus by describing how the clouds parted and sunbeams and rainbows appeared when he experienced the Celtics defensive drills for the first time.

One thing I wanted to see this season is if Simons can be a better defender in a new environment.
I'm happy to report he's posting a career high D-BPM.
I'm less happy to report that it would still be one of the 20 worst single season D-BPM figures in Celtics franchise history.

If your a Kings fan, I can see why you would want to talk about how much you don't like watching the Blazers. That would be a topic I'd prefer focusing on as well.

Now that it's clear that Shaedon has been playing through a calf injury... and still isn't all the way back yet? Seems like a good time to mention that after tonight's incredibly efficient game, his season TS% has climbed to .547. His *career* TS% is .548.
