There's no way this goes over badly with the famously calm and chill Philadelphia sports fans
LeBron James will be a resident of New York City while playing for the Sixers, per @WindhorstESPN.

LeBron is officially set to commute daily from NYC to Philadelphia, potentially via helicopter.

Tanking? That's harsh. Tiny would drop 40 a game:
A starting 5 of Tiny Archibald, Gerald Wilkins, Evan Turner, Nic Batum, and Kelly Olynyk that the website "82-0" thinks would go 33-49, but that I maintain would parlay excellent wing defense and underrated 3-point shooting to *at least* a play-in spot in the modern NBA.

One of the greatest streaks in baseball history ends today (permabaked MLB star Cody Bellinger homered on 4/20 in the years 2023, 2024, and 2025, but the Yankees do not play on 4/20/26).

An infinity sign; the joke is that the screen's all fucked up and you can't see the movie, which would be a benefit if the movie is bad.

Canada passive aggression: Could Fifa World Cup hosting be compromised?
A screenshot from Reddit, of a link to an article posing the question "Mexico cartel violence: Could Fifa World Cup hosting be compromised?"
