I'd like to see more of Ausar. He had a rough 1st quarter but he made some big plays early in the 2nd. Should put him out there to close the half

Cade: "It’s a great feeling, man. It feels good to represent the city like we did tonight. It’s something the city’s been waiting on for a long time, so we feel good about it and we’re ready to get back to the crib and perform in front of them."

A massive island-wide blackout hit Puerto Rico on Wednesday. All 1.4 million households on the island were affected, and most remain without power. Puerto Rico's power grid has gotten much worse since it was privatized and sold to LUMA energy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4ul...

Another story that should make people ask: If a literal foreign agent had taken control of the US government, what would they do differently from what the Trump administration is currently doing? We don't need to engage in conspiratorial guessing about his motives to notice his impact.

How Detroit Pistons' 'Uncle T's' are leading one of the NBA's top locker rooms

The Detroit Pistons have one of the most cohesive locker rooms in the league, thanks in part to their "Uncs" — Tobias Harris, and Tim Hardaway Jr.

NBA failed with this. They wanted the players to take it serious but now it looks like the league is treating the game as a joke and an afterthought. The format actually isn't bad, but the games should be to at least 60 and we don't need 5 halftime shows

This is horseshit. If you fear protests will lead to martial law then you already live under martial law — and you’re the one who declared it. Plus, it *won’t* lead to a declaration of martial law and the fear misconstrues the nature of the threats we face.

Watching the Lions offense back, and whew... TD Goff fumble on 3rd and 1 TD Goff INT on 2nd and long TD Goff INT on 1st and 10 TD Williams INT on trick play I think you could pick a couple spots where Johnson could've stuck w the run--and the trick play was bad--but yeah...was a tough one for 16.

I'm not saying Brunson and Towns don't get fouled a lot. I'm saying if we were to grade fouls on a 1-10 scale - 1 being a fingernail grazes the shooter, 10 being a limb being severed - the severity of the fouls that send those two to the FT line would rate at about a 2.5.

Insiders say layoffs hit senior engineers w/higher salaries, who were replaced by lower-paid engineers from abroad. Here’s the kicker: H-1B holders have to stick w/their employer to keep the visa, meaning they’re essentially locked into the job—even if it sucks. Modern day indentured servitude.

HERE IT IS: Why Elon Musk is pushing so hard to increase H-1B visas. Back in April 2024, Tesla had massive layoffs—but at the same time, they requested over 2,000 H-1B visas. For context, the U.S. caps H-1Bs at 65,000 a year, and Tesla tried to grab more than 3% of them. There’s more… (1 of 2)
