Nice little puff piece for Kroenke by the incurious at ESPN. Every Nugs rival is incredibly excited to see Michael “Mike” Malone gone. That’s probably not good. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

It's hilarious to me that dumb investors think that Tesla's collapsing stock is due to a *lack of attention* from the CEO. You mean the same CEO that has had eight other jobs, spent hours shitposting on Xitter, and allegedly does hardcore gaming? All of this was before the fake government job.

I've done very well betting against Izzo in March since 2021. His teams are playing too close against sub-par competition and that's not a good sign for avoiding an early tourney bounce.

I can't believe news organizations are fact-checking Trump on his statements about Ukraine starting the war with Russia. It happened three years ago and it is a basic fact that Russia rolled in with tanks. What else do we need the NYT to fact-check? The Earth's shape? 1+1=2?

All these leagues have to stop screwing with the All Star Games. Just do an exhibition game. No stakes, whoever is selected and wants to play, let’s do it. It was fun to watch people who didn’t play with one another play together. Stop trying to make it into a real game.

One thing I would recommend people do as they are considering their news consumption is to lean into local. Support local reporters and newspapers. You'll still get some national news but it's usually an AP or Reuters feed, or they'll relate it to the community.

I don't know. A bunch of white dudes telling trans people that they aren't defined by Trump's EO sounds a lot like the tone-deaf expressions of people who haven't had their rights written away with one stupid signature. Recognition matters to identity, bros.

One thing I forgot about Trump v1 is all of the claims that he was playing 4D chess when the simplest explanation for his erratic behavior was always the right one. Now that's getting extended to folks like Elon with his Nazi salute. Don't overthink things.

If only someone could’ve anticipated this when UCLA chose to leave the Pac-12
Text from the ESPN story:

This is UCLA's first season in the Big Ten, along with USC, Oregon and Washington. Difficult travel was a given when those teams joined, and the Bruins are dealing with it now.

They played at Nebraska on Jan. 4, returned home for one game with Michigan, then headed out for a trip to Maryland and Rutgers.

"We had to travel on a five-hour-and-50-minute flight. They got home Sunday. They had two extra days," Cronin said. "Now Rutgers is sitting at home and they got an extra day. I haven't mapped all this out, but I sure hope it swings our way at some point."
