That entire Halftime special was a celebration of community, love, music, diversity and Puerto Rico and very deliberate middle finger to colonization and white supremacy.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

There's one foolproof way to gauge whether someone is a millennial or a zoomer: Ask them how they learned the difference between Iceland and Greenland.
If the answer is from D2: The Mighty Ducks, you're talking to a millennial. Otherwise, zoomer.

I can’t believe I’m gonna lose two elevens in one week.
Just in: Atlanta Hawks All-Star Trae Young and his agents, Aaron Mintz, Drew Morrison and Austin Brown, are working with the franchise on a trade, sources tell ESPN. Young's reps and the Hawks have started collaborative talks over the last week on finding a resolution.

Hey @btrowland.bsky.social @jonesy2x4.bsky.social I figured out why hawks fans are obsessed with 7 foot centers. It’s cuz Trae is small. That’s it. If we had Cade, no one would care.

Fun thought. This assumes Trae stays and the Hawks don’t go big fish hunting.
I think next year and the overall Landry-Quinn model looks like:
Trae-?: Creation
Daniels-Mann: lockdowns
ZR-Niang: shooters
JJ-Gueye: versatility
OO-Nance: passing centers
Caris could be a part of this. Kobe too.

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Democrats lose the PR war because Trump says crazy shit and they say nothing, hoping cooler heads will prevail. That ship sailed.
The only one who gets it is @aoc.bsky.social and as far as I’m concerned she’s now the leader of the party and should do press conferences every day
