Love the NBA, will miss NBA on TNT but can't express how much I dislike the peacock app, not doing it

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

The games that will air on NBC in the future:

- NBA Opening Night
- NBA All-Star Game
- All-Star Saturday Night
- Annual Martin Luther King Day doubleheader

“NBC and Peacock will carry a combined 100 games per regular season, which is more than any other media partner in the deal and more than any partner currently carries. (Though WBD currently airs more games if one includes NBA TV.)”

@lios10110 @TheCatholicEngr @ccmembersonly @MayorHonkdog Yeap. Pop the ol Bible open:

Mark 6:3
Then they scoffed, “He’s just a carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us.” They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.

Also Galatians 1:19

This man's name is Rick Rescorla.

22 years ago today, Rick disobeyed orders, and saved 2700 lives.

Rick was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He warned that the Towers' basements were vulnerable to attack.

His warnings fell on deaf ears.

Then the 1993 attack happened, and people started listening to him.

After that attack, Rick implemented regular evacuation drills, using his megaphone to direct the thousands of employees out of their offices, down the stairwells, and out of the building to safety.

Born in Cornwall, Rick would sing Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone, as he directed the employees out of the building.

He would routinely tell all of the employees: in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you, no matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, and leave the building.

Rick told his wife Susan that he suspected another attack on the World Trade Center would happen, this time by air.

And 22 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, that attack happened.

When the first plane hit the North Tower, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower's speaker system "Please do not leave the building. This area is secure."

Rick ignored them.

"The dumb sons of b------s told me not to evacuate," he said to his best friend Dan. "They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people the f--k out of here."

And so Rick picked up his megaphone as he had done so many times before, told his employees not to listen to the orders, and directed them out of the building.

His Cornish songs helped keep their nerves calm as they evacuated, even after the second plane hit their Tower.

Once he had successfully evacuated his employees, Rick went back to look for survivors.

But first, he called his wife Susan.

"Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."

Rick rushed back to the South Tower.

That was the last time anyone saw him alive.

All but 6 of the more than 2700 Morgan Stanley employees survived.

Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would all be dead.

Thankfully, they listened to Rick instead.

Rest in Peace, Rick. Thank you for your service.

Sooooo creepy

Absolute legend! Can't imagine how hard it was to fight for change when it wasn't en vogue and in the face of so much adversity.

Would've been far easier to stick to his craft and collect checks.

Another reason to not like Elon: being forced into paying for Twitter or using an authenticator app to keep my account secure

[Rachel Tobac @RachelTobac]

5 days until Twitter auto unenrolls users who haven’t paid from the SMS 2FA that they enabled on their account. Yes, SMS 2FA users could switch to app-based MFA (or security key), but many won’t because they don’t care to, aren’t aware, or aren’t sure what this is all about.
