In the event that Leon Rose actually has a fine plan and it works just great, I will be using this meme and its partner…

New — I was fortunate to speak in front of students and faculty at Grinnell College in Iowa tonight about the business of independent journalism, the current state of media under Trump 2.0, and billionaire control.

I published my full speech because I thought it might resonate beyond campus:

Truth, morality and independence in journalism under the second Trump regime

My full remarks to students and faculty at Grennell College.

I hope the “Dinner in the Desert” is rhe start of the #KnicksChampionshipVHS - The Story of the 2025-26 World Champion New York Knicks. With Marv Albert.

I think the whole thing is a distraction even if I think it’s probably real, but let’s see what this team can do. We can win it with this group & so they should just focus on that.

It puts pressure to start this campaign though. Should be fun.

Back on February 3rd, this was published at Sports Illustrated (pictured) & numerous other places, as you probably remember - Giannis says he wants Jokic in New York to show the world European basketball:

League Sources: The Knicks have hired Peter Patton as a shooting coach. He’s been the director of player development in Chicago and a shooting coach for Minnesota and Dallas.

Illegal rabble rouser is straight up Nazi talk in this context. You’re likely talking about an immigrant, undocumented or otherwise, who desperately needs medical care. A human being. Whatever percent of the people he’s describing are anti-social is minuscule compared to our nice neighbors.

Or the Knicks can send both OG and Mikal to San Antonio who redirect some picks and players to Milwaukee if Giannis insists on New York.

God Emperor Doom @plootube.bsky.social · 22h

Anyway, there are combos to negotiate for Milwaukee if Giannis forces their hand.

God Emperor Doom @plootube.bsky.social · 22h

The Spurs could load up the picks, Barnes expiring, Vassell and Dylan Harper. The Knicks send them Mikal and OG, and then the Washington pick and some swaps to Milwaukee. The Bucks send us Giannis.

Everyone wins?

The fact that Mikal and OG are multi-year lower than expected $ value is a boon to a team doing more team building. Wemby on a rookie deal means they would have room for more.

Not sure whether a move of those pieces is the wisest course, but if you’re determined to get Giannis and put him with Brunson and KAT that seems like a plausible path, unless I’m crazy.

God Emperor Doom @plootube.bsky.social · 23h

The Knicks could trade both OG and Mikal to the Spurs to get a package of picks for Milwaukee and expiring contracts. Three way deal would work if Giannis doesn’t want San Antonio but they see an opportunity to build a West contender with those Knicks pieces.

It seems like Dems should use the image of the most detestable person it in front of American cameras in generations. He’s visually unappealing in addition to being actually, viscerally unappealing.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

I’d like to toot my own horn that I’ve been a hater of Matt Yglesias for longer than I can remember. OG hater.

It seems like 2 of the 3 most powerful people on the planet probably should know who the most popular recording artist in the world is, especially when he’s a citizen of our country.

I went to a lot of Mariners game at the Stadium and heard the worst things I’ve ever heard in my life directed at those two. Especially Buhner.

That year was the second most disappointing in that era after the year before. It really looked like a Yankees/Expos World Series in 94.

Yeah that’s true. My earliest baseball memory was watching Reggie Jackson hit three homers in that World Series game against the Dodgers in 77. I was six. Etched in my memory.
