Aspiration was out of cash and couldn't make payroll yet paying Kawhi his $1.75M was a 'critical' priority. Amazingly a new outside investor comes in with $1.99M to save the day. That outside investor just happened to be Ballmer's partner and old college roommate.

In 2022, Clippers minority owner Dennis J. Wong made an almost $2M investment in Aspiration, which then paid Kawhi Leonard $1.75M, according to the latest allegations made on the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast episode.

Leaked documents confirmed this week that Knicks star Jalen Brunson inked a $22 million deal as tambourinist for James Dolan's blues-rock project JD & The Straight Shot. A source close to Brunson said he's no-showed every band practice session and hasn't performed at any live concerts. #NBASky #NBA

Looking at what America is experiencing again right now and unironically thinking about the 10 plagues in Exodus.
How the plagues came one after another but pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not let go.
Except today it's not a pharaoh that can't let go, it's the church.

Watch for the steady drumbeat of Trumpworld trying to blame the economic downturn on the Fed. The difference with the first term is that its not implausible that Trump might try to takeover the Fed.

Given what it took to get the US to embrace big fiscal in 2020 and Germany to do the same in 2025 I no longer want to see a US/China economic rebalancing that leads to the US producing more and China consuming more.

one of my iron clad beliefs is that there are very few actual “schemes” in the world. instead, there are just a lot of stupid, venal people and quite a few of them hold positions of real power and authority
"Corporate leadership is as stupid as everyone else and freaked out about viral shoplifting videos" isn't as exciting as "the pharmacies are doing fascist performance art so they can uh murder all poor people" but sometimes things really are just stupid
