Wemby went into the Finals a fan favorite, left the Finals something of a villain, and with one quick preseason quote is once again the hero the NBA needs www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...
"Absolutely not," Wembanyama said when asked if he'd ever consider promoting a sports betting website. "I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me."

The baby's sole goal in life is to get milk, and when she's getting milk, she looks like Gollum trying to figure out how to steal the Ring from hobbitses.

Jean Valentine, wow
Outside the Frame


It is enough, now, anywhere,
with everyone you love there to talk to.

And to listen.
Slowly we can tell each other some things about our lives:
runs, rests, brief resolutions; falls, and lulls;
hard joyful runs, in certainty; dull, sweet
durances, human silences;
                                                        look back in at the children,
the regular, neutral flicker of their blood; pale, solemn,
long-legged animal-gods in their sleep,
growing into their lives, in their sleep.

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek planned to funnel the donation through a shell company. The CEO wanted assurance that Collins would know where
the money came from. Reed confirmed that she would, the executive said - and that Navatek would get its government contracts.
After the Corner Bakery meeting, Navatek's CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica.

There is a certain YouTube clip that I
watch from time to time, when I need a
pick-me-up, or when I'm in a giddy mood and want to push it further—to the upper reaches of euphoria. The video, from 2018, is titled "Eagles strip sack on Tom Brady - Local Announcers / Multiple Languages," and it captures seven seconds from the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LII, as witnessed by stunned sportscasters across the globe.

honestly kind of gross to paint a woman who was raped and groomed as some sort of liar or sociopath when (she clearly created theranos as a trauma response and motivated by Balwani). is she innocent? no, ofc not. but it feels a little weird to paint her as some villain.

As part of the appeals process, a member of a three-judge panel had cast the ballroom as illustrative of the Administration’s “move fast and break things” approach. “If the government decides, very quickly, to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty,” the judge asked, “nothing can be done?”

“I think that’s right, yes,” a lawyer for the Administration responded.
