Friday Sly Day

I’m a broken record on this but the media and messaging environment won’t improve until media outlets unhook themselves from the fascism machine.

BREAKING: i met an old white person who is weird and racist

Watching the Top Chef finale and—this is not a spoiler!—the scene where the final three are standing on a balcony and talking about how much they appreciate each others’ food and creativity is so lovely. One of the best seasons in the show’s history imo.

randall cunningham wishes you a happy friday

Found this @laist.com piece interviewing graduating seniors in LA—some of whom have family members afraid of attending ceremonies right now—to be quite moving. laist.com/news/educati...

Wrote this one for LA. www.sfgate.com/la/article/i...

Los Angeles is my favorite American city, so motherfuck the feds eternally

I don’t enjoy having to write a politics every week so I’d appreciate it if all of the important people could not be such big fat shitheads www.sfgate.com/la/article/i...

This is a new golden age for dirty, violent cops who think the law is whatever they say it is.

Male loneliness epic banished

Jesus Christ, what terrible news to wake up to.

Kristi Noem's vow to "liberate" places which have Democratic political leadership quite possibly instigated a political assassination.

These NBA Finals games are compelling competitive basketball. Can we stop the “market size” and “ratings” conversation. Plz Folk hoopin at the park tomorrow are talkin bout the fantastic shotmaking and clutch buckets. It’s a 2-2 series. Please go 7. I never want it to end.Play til Summer League

Clayton Kershaw will get no blowback from his club, the league, or most of the media for defacing his cap and undermining the team's official pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. But ask yourself what would happen if a player wrote a message of protest next to the American flag-logos on Fourth of July caps.

I was reminded of the time Brian Scalabrine threatened Michael Rapaport on a Big3 broadcast

Trying to rain on Pride parades by citing a passage about God promising to never again rain on parades

With 3 min 52 sec remaining, Mark Daigneault called timeout and made the adjustment that won the Thunder Game 4. Nembhard had been guarding SGA extremely well. Thunder used the same action 3x to get Nesmith to switch, Shai kept scoring/getting the foul call.

big, strong, definitely secure man that’s afraid of a rainbow being used as a symbol of love and joy. what a fucking loser

Long ago Stephen A. realized he doesn’t have to watch anything to scream about it

Chet Holmgren do you want to borrow some of my body fat I will sell it at a reasonable price

Rhyne Howard tied the WNBA record for threes in a game tonight, hitting nine in a win against the Sky.

we need better profiles of dumbasses, where's the one about an uncle who fell out of a tree when he was 42

first day of normal lessons! ready and excited to learn new skills + become normal!

[holding a banana phone] yeah hi just circling back on a friday afternoon to see if we’ve figured out the whole soldier on the moon situation

Fully prepared for the entire right wing apparatus and a large chunk of the political center to loudly disparage "violence" by a random protestor smashing a window today while attempting to nuance-to-death what happened in Minnesota this morning.

Happy No Kings Day

Old Testament for people I hate, New Testament for my friends

Blaming the refs is for loooooooooooserrrrrrrrrrrs

SGA is gonna get this family through this Disneyworld parking lot and into the park if it kills him

R.A. Dickey won the National League Cy Young Award in 2012 without throwing a single pitch faster than 87 MPH.

Good morning from St. Pete 🐊

[writes a humanizing profile of a weird genocidal freak with strange and dangerous opinions] Uh, please be nice, guys.

all the information you could ever want on a device in your pocket but the catch is it makes you dumb

we need to go further. if you read this post guess what you’re trans

The most incredible part of the grift is coming to power when there is no chaos by campaigning on a platform of "I'm going to end the chaos," then overseeing an era of chaos he created and saying "See? We're ending the chaos."

Not sure there are adequate words to describe what just happened to Oregon State but you need to see it - a throwaway followed by a whiffed throw

no money to treat poor people in this country like human beings, endless money for this

The Oklahoma City Thunder rally in the fourth quarter to tie the NBA Finals at 2-2.

Analytics question: is this the most obviously Star Wars names ever assembled in one NBA finals

Yeah, this sucks. bsky.app/profile/mich...

The thing that I have learned this NBA finals is that Obi Toppin is the greatest basketball player of all time

nobody needs to call Oregon-Oregon State the Civil War anymore when we can call it the Keytar Bowl

Pacers made ONE field goal in the last 5 minutes of the game, scored 1 point in the last 3 minutes. They've lost a clutch game for the second time this postseason.

I LOL'd imagining the conversation that led to this particular branding choice. A lot of "yes, I totally agree, you know that. I just think that in this case we need to . . ." bsky.app/profile/will...

Stephen A Smith: A lotta people said they saw me playing Solitaire at the NBA Finals. HOWEVA,,, it was actually Free Cell

Republican legislator who said "we as legislators have an obligation to insure that our children have no harm done to them" while trying to pass bigoted anti-trans laws arrested for downloading child sexual abuse material to his home computer and cell phone. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

you, a simpleton: I love football dynasties me, an aristocrat: I adore ball lightning one-off teams that could exist at only one point in history with only that combination of people and cannot be replicated

My kids have gone to these things. Previously they’ve had all the intensity and violence of a Lutheran church basement coffee hour. You are not signing up for a Far Cry 6 mission. It’s going to be fine.

happy No Kings day to all who celebrate

saw a tesla today with a bumper sticker that said "this car does not support fascism." i have bad news for the car's owner.

Obi Toppin is winning the NBA Finals for the Pacers but just wait until you see how good the guy the Knicks select with the 2028 second round pick we received in exchange for him will be

i'm on Oceangate doc 2 (the Netflix one) and it might even have worse stuff in it than the Discovery one

After doing a genealogy test, former MLB player Eric Anthony discovered that his father was Dodgers legend Willie Davis: www.usatoday.com/story/sports... As a result of this recent discovery, we've updated the "Relatives" information on Davis's and Anthony's player pages.

It’s probably good and fine to be outraged from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. Certainly no longer term consequences.

Can confirm the statement did not come from the team — it’s an unofficial account.

THE EXTENDER HAS BEGUN TO EXTEND

The Pacers forget Pascal Siakam exists way too frequently

I actually like watching TJ McConnell when he's frying a team that I don't root for

Feel for the many, many, mannnnnnny Dodgers fans who have to contend with Kershaw periodically reminding them unprompted that he disapproves of who they are

Great to see Danica on Sky again after she's said increasingly alarming and violent things from an already alarming baseline.

If you were drafting future head coaches, who would be your #1 pick? Mine was Bills OC Joe Brady. … Discussed a bunch of candidates with @mikegolicjr.bsky.social on the pod! 📺: youtu.be/YKOu4R4dnO0?... 🎧: apple.co/3FJ3oxh

The concept of all of us dying because no one with an ounce of institutional power had it in them to stand up to a foreign genocidal ethnostate that most of our elected officials are older than

that little stretch at USC after they fired a totally miserable Kiffin when Ed Orgeron turned it into weekend at cool dad's by just stuffing everyone with food and being pleasant

Both the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Final are tied at 2-2 🍿 Which two teams will bring home championships to their city?

Within the past few months, this dude has falsely accused LeBron of skipping Kobe's funeral, called Cade Cunningham "Wade," called Jalen Williams "Jamal," falsely implied that Nolan Richardson is dead, and now this. He is the most visible NBA analyst in the world.

Number of ball screens that SGA & Jalen Williams set for each other... Game 1: 1 Game 2: 2 Game 3: 0 Game 4: 9 (including 7 in the 4th quarter) The 9 is tied for the most screens they've set for each other in their 3 years together. via Second Spectrum

The idea that Bluesky is a bubble is kind of funny to me. Like yeah, I kind of think of it as a big bar where you have conversations with people, not really looking to log onto my phone and debate people or need to call HR, that’s stuff I leave for work.

OH NO!!! DISASTER!!!! WHAT A BAD IDEA!!!!

Me at the No Kings rally: They traded away Halliburton!!! Then they lost De'Aaron Fox for nothing!!! What is going on in that front office, you know

hey guys - my son just had picture day at school and he’s really self-conscious about how his photo came out. sounds like some of the other kids were pretty mean to him :/ can we show him a little love in the replies? let him know he’s looking good?

Malika Andrews: Wow, that was a great game, huh? Stephen A Smith on his phone:

Huge, huge missed free-throws by Mathurin. Worst betrayal by a "Bennedict" in 245 years.

Downloaded this today and it’s a lot of fun

Yeah, they’re called gift cards.

Re: that Mother Jones writer: certain media types, even those without overt agendas, often believe that the moral and ethical worth of their work is unimportant compared to the "hey, I did a thing!" aspect of it and they're shocked when they don't get praised for simply doing a thing.

Start the getaway car! The Thunder had absolutely NO BUSINESS winning this game and somehow left here with a win anyway. What an effort. What a game. What a series.

Richard Jefferson does NOT have the timbre. That’s a voice made for grade school lunch announcements

turn them phones off people

Anyone who isn't watching the NBA Finals because of market size is missing out on some incredible basketball. These games have been awesome!

Tonight was Logan Webb’s 38th start of 7+ innings since the start of 2023, 3 more than anyone else in MLB in that span

Arcane was a cartoon where the executive producer was like "they're brothers" and the French animators were like "they are LOVERS" and the result is some Hays Code shit, the subbiest subtext possible, my personal catnip, unfortunately. The secret sauce of it all

The personal highlight of my week was Roth being surprised by my Mr Burns voice and telling me good it was. Don’t know why I’m leaving replies open for opinions to the contrary but sometimes, honestly, I wanna see me be brave. defector.com/monorail-ori...

One time I wrote an article about how Joe Johnson was dominating the Big3 and then the next day I went to a pool party and when I got out of the pool I looked at my phone and Michael Rapaport had sent like 14 consecutive angry tweets saying that I had disrespected hip-hop

The comeback kings of Indiana got a taste of their own medicine. And once again, the 2025 NBA Finals are tied because of it. Takeaways from Game 4 of Thunder-Pacers: www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...

Big burrito and beer better fix me. Cheers, after a long week.

Make your damn free throws, Indiana.
