@NoaDalzellNBA Didn't he retire long before YouTube started? :) (I'm assuming he's Jon Dalzell.)

@078Yasser @statmuse Jayson Tatum did it too. (Cleveland series this year.)

@TimothyDSnyder Do you include Biden in your list of Texas-traveling weak men?

@TrentTelenko The best case scenario was that China wouldn't support Russia as energetically and overtly as we supported Ukraine -- and the best case kind of happened.

@ggreenwald Like you, I'm not old enough to recall McCarthyism personally. But based on my parents' stories -- including the career my mother lost to it -- you're downplaying it much too much.

@DickLipe The Nets had 14 guys score, none with more than 15 points, and no starters over 10. Since most seasons one couldn't even have than many guys active, there might be some record fodder there.

@nexta_tv Speaker of the House is too big a job in the US for you to make that error. In many ways, the Speaker (currently Mike Johnson, at a couple of previous times Nancy Pelosi) is the secondmost powerful politician in the US.

@mistermedici @Kellblog I seem to have worked that concept through on the political side more than the tech marketing one, before taking some time off from writing. No worries; I plan to saddle the keyboard up again soon. https://t.co/TOTInOZWyS

@mistermedici @Kellblog In one word: "Cluefulness"

[Curt Monash @CurtMonash]

@Kellblog True, but one can have a cute slogan as well. I'm still fond of Vertica's original tagline: "The Tables Have Turned".

@Vaprak2 @wartranslated On the recruiting side, perhaps there's a perceived advantage to separating infantry and video gamers. On the procurement side, UKR survive and prevails only if it can create a strong drone advantage, so that's probably the biggest motivation.

@noclador Carlson's own lies are treason (colloquially speaking). However, the basic fact of doing and broadcasting an interview during which Putin will lie is indeed journalism.

[Curt Monash @CurtMonash]

@wartranslated Carlson's tweets cast doubt on the idea that he's been traveling overseas for several days. That said, one would have to actually watch his shows to be surer, and who wants to do that?

@wgw2024 @SeanParnellUSA Looks to me from the story that the mom is bad because she fractured her 1-year-old's skull and beat up other people as well. Her 9 marriages also put her under some suspicion.

@russellevance I would guess: 1. He observed which # Teller chose. 2. He controlled the color distribution of the M&Ms after he saw that #. (Not sure if this step is needed without thinking about it at length.) 3. He controlled which disks which players got after the M&Ms were shared out.

A Democrat was in the White House when my family was sent to the internment camps in 1941. It was an egregious violation of our human and civil rights.

It would have been understandable if people like me said they’d never vote for a Democrat again, given what had been done to us.

But being a liberal, being a progressive, means being able to look past my own grievances and concerns and think of the greater good. It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.

I went on to campaign for Adlai Stevenson when I became an adult. I marched for civil rights and had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King. I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.

Bill Clinton broke my heart when he signed DOMA into law. It was a slap in the face to the LGBTQ community. And I knew that we still had much work to do. But I voted for him again in 1996 despite my misgivings, because the alternative was far worse. And my obligation as a citizen was to help choose the best leader for it, not to check out by not voting out of anger or protest.

There is no leader who will make the decision you want her or him to make 100 percent of the time. Your vote is a tool of hope for a better world. Use it wisely, for it is precious. Use it for others, for they are in need of your support, too.

@TrentTelenko Recall also that Russia used a lot of air defense ammo for low accuracy offense.

@marwasf @iyad_elbaghdadi Nothing is intellectually sloppier in mainstream journalism than the writing of headlines. Most obviously, there's click/attention-chasing. Even without that, headlines often clash with an article's actual content.

@DickLipe The number of different players to make 3s -- in the first half and specifically in Q2 -- also seems like a lot.
