The NBA doesn't have a 3 pt shot problem. 3's have skyrocketed this yr because it's the most protected shot. Inside the 3 line, there can be all kinds of contact. Outside the 3 line, you can't even be in the "landing zone", and most guys just fly by to contest. Of course there are more 3s

Security pro tip: if you find a USB key on the ground somewhere, DO NOT plug it in to your home computer. Take it to the office and plug it in there. They have way better software that will mitigate any threats.

This is fucking hilarious…I posted a version of this tweet on Twitter and it wasn’t getting much engagement so I reposted it without the word “Bluesky” and it’s doing normally even though I didn’t even delete the original tweet. Manipulation and lack of respect in action.

The tweets in question. The non-Bluesky one has 651 likes and 18k impressions. The Bluesky one has 294 likes and 9.4K impressions.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

You may be wondering about the ethics of paying interns. The rules are pretty simple: Always pay your interns unless they wrote the fault in our stars, in which case that guy is fine don't pay him.

Last hot take… earth is way older than we think and there are countless civilizations we’ll never know about (and have yet to discover)
