I get that but I will say I now live in the northern reaches of this map’s tri-state area and it feels exactly like north jersey. There are diners, it’s Yankees country, everyone of every race is a little bit Italian

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

having read absolutely everything from that month, I think:

1. if the Warriors won that game 7, Kerr would have just gone with the Knicks

2. but he always wanted to wait to see if the Warriors job opened up, and you can practically hear him saying that if you go back to some of his first quotes

one of the best features of the 2022 Toyota RAV4 is the Driver-Side Gom Jabbar™️

interior of a car between the steering wheel and the drivers door. There’s a small covered shelf thing exactly the size of a hand. My hand’s in it.

lol yes the story of Nick missing the final because he had to become a doctor or whatever (I think this pre-dates you)

i can think of at least one sports franchise that started filming *their own* Our Path To The Title doc and then scrapped it when they very much did not win the title. the reasoning is obvious but THAT footage would be a great movie

this is different, but it's the best "We started making a mildly interesting sports documentary and then we kept going when the subject took a bizarre turn" piece i've ever seen en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icarus_...

i am sure this is not contractually possible but using the pre-doom footage and THEN show the "uh actually Bill is done talking to you" stuff would be so interesting

a sports film that acknowledges it was originally meant to be a toothless PR-friendly "doc" and actually documents the hard pivot to losing access and encountering hostility when reality took a turn would be the first good one of these

this is actually a pretty big black mark on Hulu that they had the opportunity to chronicle an extremely newsworthy spectacle and are letting UNC back out of it because it makes them look bad

I don’t think that rewarding/maintaining judeosupremacy is meaningfully distinct from supporting judeosupremacy! Unless their 2SS endorsement is being explicitly framed as a last-ditch option due to Israel’s moral irredeemablity, I guess.

Tony Elias @tonyelias.bsky.social · 23h

Agree with your points, but I think many people push for the two-state solution because they don't believe Israel would ever accept Palestinians as equal citizens in their society (and we're much closer to genocide and forced relocation).
