@StoolGreenie Unassisted 2 pt FGs 62-64 pct. ISO PPP of about 1.00 on par with likes of Ant and Luka…if 3’s aren’t falling this is what you want.

[Commonly Good @CommonlyG]

@StoolGreenie Not Tatum or Shai or Luka level but still you’d rather him on the team in these moments than another shoot off the pass player.

@WB_Baskerville @achillghost Or seeing it was Kant they reflected on the Categorical Imperative and concluded that theft is contrary to the Moral
Law.

@colinblute_ @WB_Baskerville Someone described it as a horrible mashup of trading Mookie Betts and not playing Malcolm Butler in the Super Bowl

[Commonly Good @CommonlyG]

@colinblute_ @WB_Baskerville Huge risk given we’re much older and more injury prone now. What I don’t get is where the “we must trade him now” urgency came from. the relationship had to be irreparably broken somehow…but how…

[Commonly Good @CommonlyG]

@NoaDalzell That’s putting it mildly…

[Commonly Good @CommonlyG]

@WB_Baskerville @colinblute_ Worse off in talent, no better off financially, picks that won’t payoff until Tatums past prime…no rationale for this whatsoever that I can see.

[Commonly Good @CommonlyG]

@WB_Baskerville @colinblute_ Worst trade ever. What are they thinking…

[Jason Blakely @jasonwblakely]

I admire Colbert's wit & I don't think he should have lost his show *but* elite liberals throwing themselves encomia parties with A-list celebrities as their form of symbolic resistance amounts to nothing politically & is part of what brought us to the current ideological impasse

@StoolGreenie Jury’s still out if these guys can figure out how to make it work together

@agostino_harry @WB_Baskerville Not quite in aggregate because smaller states still get disproportionately more electoral votes vs their population.

[Commonly Good @CommonlyG]

@WB_Baskerville @agostino_harry Also to put your point about small states into perspective, we already give small states outsized representation in the senate and the house. Having a presidential voting system that weights small states even to the point of being counter-majoritarian feels like overkill.

[Commonly Good @CommonlyG]

@WB_Baskerville @agostino_harry The interesting thing is there’s no constitutional rule on how states individually allocate their electors, hence why some states split by county. My preference would be all states allocate proportionally to the vote in the state.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s close ally Cardinal Robert McElroy rebukes the Trump-Vance war against Iran:

“We are in the midst of an immoral war. We entered this war not out of necessity but rather choice. We failed to pursue negotiation to its end before turning to war.”

Pope Leo XIV, he said, has made it “totally clear” that the only acceptable path is a permanent ceasefire and vigorous steps toward lasting peace.

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

Cardinal Pizzaballa on Palm Sunday: “In this afternoon of Palm Sunday we gather without a procession, without palms waving through the streets. This absence is not merely a matter of formalities. It is the war that has interrupted our festive journey, making even the simple joy of following our King difficult.”

“Today Jesus weeps once more over Jerusalem. He weeps over this city, which remains a sign of both hope and sorrow, of grace and suffering. He weeps over this Holy Land, still unable to recognize the gift of peace. He weeps for all the victims of a war that seems without end: for divided families, for shattered hopes. But the tears of Jesus are never fruitless. They open our eyes, challenge us, and reveal the truth.”

@WB_Baskerville They more worried about their employability in RW media once they’re out than they are about re-election.

@crawlings13 Very online Xians have seen well-followed culture warriors and self-styled public intellectuals politically align with the online Xians (or claim to be Xian). That makes them feel powerful, esp. since these types used to be foes. So they assume it's a broad trend. When it isn't.
