Just a lovely read on Karl-Anthony Towns' journey to validation, written by the one who'd seen every step of it, from draft night to the parade route: @jonkrawczynski.bsky.social. Well worth the time: www.nytimes.com/athletic/761...

Karl-Anthony Towns had the last laugh. And he’s not done smiling yet (Gift Article)
For years, Towns heard he was too soft to win. Now an NBA champion, he's savoring the vindication — and the joy that got him here.

Yes, the Trump jujitsu here has been to use the *impression* that Democrats use DOJ to go after their enemies to actually use the DOJ to do that and say - well, lawfare, yadda yadda

I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.
