At @wtevs.bsky.social's BASKETBALL FEELINGS, the Zesty KAT stuff took me right back to my own dumb childhood jock dreams and the ugly homophobia that’s seeping into ever corner of the current fascist moment—even the '24-25 Knicks. www.basketballfeelings.com/p/exits-some...

not to be a Debbie Downer, but they can't sign DeRozan, or any player making more than the non-taxpayer mid-level exception, if they're released. The Knicks could sign Conley, though, b/c he earns less than the NTMLE

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

“Surprise, AZ Concentration Camp” sounds like something ripped straight from the pages of a George Saunders novel
It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.
