I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

It's definitely been a well-balanced effort.

The Chicago Bulls and Kevin Knox have agreed to a deal, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. Knox has averaged 7.3 points in seven NBA seasons combined with the Knicks, Hawks, Pistons, Trail Blazers, and Warriors.

I think the All-Defense teams are fine. I might have subbed Gray or Akoa Makani for Boston but guards are at such a big disadvantage here

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

You can’t talk seriously about gun violence in Chicago without talking about where the guns come from. www.pbump.net/o/the-red-st...

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

They have a shit ton of money and there's no salary cap lol. There are always a couple teams in the competition with loaded rosters

Eric @nemchocke.bsky.social · 1d

My pleasure!

Eric @nemchocke.bsky.social · 1d

For WNBA fans who will be following Unrivaled and Athletes Unlimited, ELW is still worth watching! There will be a LOT of great young international players competing, including some who we haven't seen in the WNBA yet, such as Juste Jocyte and Awa Fam.
