I need Zack Lowe to tell me what to think of this for the Pelicans. Having 2 of the best 10 basketball players on the planet can’t be a bad thing, but this also isn’t 1996 anymore, and the best teams play with shooting and spacing and good ball movement. I’m just imagining 5 guys guarding Cousins and Davis while…

But this deal doesn’t seem to make much sense for the Pelicans either. The Pelicans play the best while Davis is the de-facto 5, but AD is resistant to the idea. I’m struggling to see how a Boogie/Brow lineup works out spacially on both ends of the floor.

I guess I’m one of the mythical “undecided voters,” in that I am undecided as to whether I will vote at all. There are surely more undecided voters like me than of the other type, those civic-minded numbskulls who populate televised town halls and Frank Luntz focus groups because they are positive they will vote, but…

I assume it’s something more along the lines of “CEO’s have an important role in an organization, but are not worth 200x the average employees salary”.

Counterpoint — Exxon’s $400mm man:

I’m sure theres some stat guys out there who will skewer me for this take, but Ibaka was a lot better before he decided he was a stretch four. I’d take him rebounding and blocking shots anyday over what he has transformed himself into these last couple years

Don’t let the “Virginia sucks at offense” narrative fool you. Virginia ranks 17th in the nation in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency according to KenPom.

Oof, this is really going to drop his stock in the next update of Chad Ford’s 2012 NBA Draft rankings.

Get your false equivalency bullshit out of here. When an authoritarian figure constantly lies about basic truths to appeal to populist tendencies, it’s the very definition of fascism. Fuck off.

He was quoted in Newsday as saying he was upset because he just wanted Gizmodo to be about technology and not so much with the politics and all that stuff.

Can you imagine the uproar if white people were enslaved for hundreds of years, and after having been freed were still denied basic rights for another century, and then were denied the tools that would allow them to better their overall circumstance like decent education and access to housing and banking, and then…

Ha. So he DOES own a bathrobe.

Here is my (probably cockamamie) theory:

This is really shameful, but once when I was bored in Grade 9 Spanish class, I sketched on the back of my hand with a pen, and ended up drawing a swastika. Then I drew a Star of David on the back of my other hand, because I thought, “I’m being edgy,” “I need to balance this one out with it’s ‘contrary’ symbol,” “I’m…

I was a teen delinquent in the 80s, and went through one of those teen courts. They were honestly some of the most helpful people I’ve ever met. I had a B&E charge from being homeless, and breaking into an abandoned summer home during a storm because I was cold and wanted to be out of the rain. The neighbors called…

Frankly people would still be harsh about this if it were a conventional Republican president, but Trump revels in controversy because his complete lack of political history (and shame) allows him to say whatever he wants regardless of who it offends. Remember that Trump lives in his opwn universe and is incapable of…

What’s a conscious?

You laugh, but I made $5K a month working from home as a professional anarchist.
