Just because I'm thinking about it: Here's a badass album that starts with an introduction from an emceeing Jesse Jackson and goes into some great soul-jazz songs. First song was sampled by Tribe Called Quest, second by Pete Rock/CL Smooth. It's so good.

Sunday was a rather dry sporting day, even if you include the “discovery” of Kevin Durant’s supposed burner account. The combination of the NBA’s All-Star break and the Milan Cortina Olympics…

I used to find The Onion funny, but they’ve become really mean (and personal) lately.

even putting aside the existential crisis of climate change, it's forever wild that people old enough to remember Los Angeles smog and flaming Ohio lakes are saying, "That ruled. Let's bring it back. And why come there isn't any more lead in the paint?"
“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups.
“Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”

Woodstock would be the best press secretary we've ever, EVER had.
Woodstock would get himself enmeshed in something and have to testify in front of Congress which would be entertaining

Remember when the big scandals used to be that Democratic presidents had oafish brothers? Let's get Spike driving a tractor around the South Lawn, or Olaf throwing up at an embassy holiday party, c'mon, we deserve this

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

I say this every NBA trade deadline, but if I ever have to learn what a trade exception is or how to calculate it for my job, I swear to God I am going to hunt down everyone who rooted for a salary cap in MLB and fill the air vents in their cars with bees
If I'm counting it all up right, the Grizzlies have turned Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. into Cedric Coward, five first-round picks (plus a swap), about $17.5M in expiring contracts and the biggest trade exception in NBA history. Lots of raw materials to work with, at least.

ELLISON: Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to. Congressman, what he can say to you, what you wanna do ... is follow for now. Power of the people. Say, 'Make a miracle, Keith,' pump the lyrical. I yield the rest of my time.
we've reached the portion of the hearing where Republicans (specifically Bernie Moreno) are making baseless insinuations that Keith Ellison is antisemitic and demanding he denounce Louis Farrakhan

No, i'm going to say it's evil to zip-tie a 14-year-old and demand that she proves that she's a citizen (which she is). It would still be evil if she weren't a citizen, to be clear, but it's an extra shiny level of evil here.
