Peter Cullen has sadly passed away at the age of 85.

He is the iconic voice of many characters, including Optimus Prime.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

I don’t think there’s a better way to choose your draft order

BREAKING NEWS: NBA finds “no evidence” that the Clippers funneled money through sponsors to circumvent the salary cap for Kawhi Leonard, via ESPN. Wow.

In a 2015 game against the Blazers, Russell Westbrook got kneed in the head by a teammate and fractured his cheekbone.

He stayed in the game—with a visible dent—and finished with 40 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists.

Brodie had surgery and missed one game.

His next game, wearing a protective mask:
— 49 PTS
— 15 REB
— 10 AST

What a blessing it has been to share a big part of my career with you!! Drafted on the same night by the same team in 2008… time flies. I learned so much from you and had so much fun playing with you. One of the best competitors ever and one of the best teammates I ever had. I wish everyone had the chance to know you up close like I did. Congrats on an incredible career @russwest44

Austin Rivers calls out the media and NBA fans for failing to appreciate Russell Westbrook during his career, and predicts James Harden, Devin Booker, and Donovan Mitchell won’t get their proper respect until they’re gone

A real OKC legend forever. Congrats on an amazing career brother . Appreciate your contributions to the game

[Michael Redd @MichaelRedd_]

All this love pouring in for Russell Westbrook, and I don't know, part of me is torn on it.

People clowned 0 for years. Got so nasty his wife had to step in and speak out, and he didn't want his own kids at the games anymore. Now he retires and here come all the flowers.

Would've hit different for him hearing some of that back when the whole internet was booing him, you know?

I dunno. Just a thought. Anyway. Be good to people while they can still hear it and while it still matters.

[Kevin Durant @KDTrey5]

I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.

Immediately after this he went to the locker room to try and fight a season ticket holder; a special talent.

- Now everybody loved Westbrook. Lmfao

I watched people and sports pages on social media violate Westbrook consistently for LeBron and even KD narratives.

Niggas really show fake love when you’re gone in any form—death, breakup or retirement.
