It’s the seed that will be occupying the top seed’s attention for up to two weeks. I’d rather it be a fun team than a depressing one.

This is the correct take. I think Cecilia, who is normally spot on, missed the mark by a wide margin here.

Unique to the digital age is the video content creation industry, one where employees are “users” and employers are “platforms.” In it, workers aren’t owed squat. When there are tech issues, they can visit the support page. When there are platform updates, a lot of the time, the press knows first. Full-time YouTubers…

There are a couple hundred NBA-quality players in the world. There are only a handful of All-NBA-quality players in the world. Some teams have them and others do not.

The Nets specifically were bought by a Russian billionaire with no clue whatsoever what he was doing who immediately promised a championship in five years, and decided to accomplish that by trading the *entire* future for years and years to come (Celtics get their first-rounder next year too!) to go all-in a roster of…

How much time do you think the ebay user who praised Ortega’s use of “Merry Christmas” will spend trying to edit their feedback now that they know Ortega’s Mexican?

This is obviously pointless. But I will try one more time.

No, that’s incorrect.

We know we have a problem but don’t do anything about it and yet people act shocked when it keeps happening.

“Oh if only there were something we could do...”
