That is exactly where I’d expect people with measles to go, this checks out
D.C. health officials are warning of possible exposure to measles after three people with the illness made several stops in the region in recent weeks, including at the National March for Life rally and concert and Catholic University.
D.C. probing measles cases, says March for Life among potential exposure sites
D.C. Health says three people with measles visited the city, and Virginia reported a confirmed case in a child.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

The Sixers got flattened in the third quarter on the final game of a west-coast roadie.

Sure, they were short-handed, but a particularly disappointing game for Tyrese Maxey:

Santa was WHITE

Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

Andre Drummond had 18 made threes over the first 13 years of his NBA career.

He's up to 19 in 39 games this year.

(Ben Simmons made five threes across his entire NBA career, for frame of reference.)

For people who haven't been paying attention to Andre Drummond this year, having Andre Drummond hit a corner 3 against you must feel so demoralizing

Bryan Toporek has been upgraded to PROBABLE for tonight's Sixers-Blazers game

It was a tax dump that returned legitimate assets (and is therefore more justifiable than the KJ dump last year). But seeing what Barlow got + how much space they have left under the tax line, they needed to dump basically this exact amount of salary to duck the tax. Highly doubt that's coincidental

In a completely unrelated note, Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe are 5-of-5 overall (and 4-of-4 from deep) for the Thunder so far tonight

It's OK, Tyrese Maxey will just play all 48 minutes, what could go wrong

D'Angelo Russell will change my life (derogatory)

He's gotten so much better at that last part this year. Finally learned how to control/change speeds and it's been lights out this year.

If China took away the Stanley Cup, how would Canada even know?
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

Let's just say Lonzo is not high on my buyout target list

The Sixers have two (2) healthy guards under the age of 40 tonight.

If only they had another young guard in their rotation...

The good news is that they added to their depth at the trade deadline at least, right?

… right???

Bryan Toporek is now DOUBTFUL for tonight’s Sixers-Blazers game
(Does not want to spend 2.5 hrs watching the Sixers get their teeth kicked in)
No Joel Embiid. Dominick Barlow or Quentin Grimes. Depth is about to get tested tonight.

Stew might as well book a Tuesday flight to Cancun while he's waiting for the game to end. His All-Star break starts now.
