Why is the sound so bad on the @fandueltv.bsky.social broadcast of the #Spurs game? This game is almost unwatchable. This has happened with other away games.

•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.
