had the daily mental breakdown about whether I gave the kids too much screen time, whether I played with them enough, whether they will grow up incurious and funneled into a meaningless misinformation ecosphere because their very existence is seen as a revenue source. haha oh well football is on

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I thought about doing a segment like that but then realized it’d mostly be predicting injuries. I don’t know if UTA can surprise on the downside…their o/u is 18.5!!

Have been cursing the apartments next door all night because someone’s smoke alarm has been going off for 3 hours. Just realized it was a smoke alarm I threw in the garbage earlier this week.

I'm supposed to believe that Steve Ballmer DIDN'T KNOW that the company he gave $50M to and was bringing on as a team sponsor, and whose founder he was inviting to Clippers games, was giving his star player a $28M deal with no strings attached along with $20M stock options. Just never came up.

Cuban is using the same argument with Ballmer that he used with the Mavs' sexual harassment scandal. These guys want to be the center of attention and be involved in every detail and decision until it's something bad and then they're like, oh that was the one thing I didn't know about.
