Mike Breen with a parting message before he locks in on Finals coverage:

“We’ve broadcasted a lot of bad basketball… for Clyde to say this team reminds him of his, he doesn’t say that very often. For him to say that Jalen Brunson reminds him of the leadership of Willis Reed, he doesn’t say that about anybody.”

I’d argue that once you hit your late 20’s you realize you were practicing adulthood for the last 10 years and it’s not what you really wanted because you probably decided your entire life trajectory before your frontal lobe fully formed and it makes a lot of sense to have the desire to start all over with the knowledge you gained once real adulthood and life experience hit

The LIRR strike really is a litmus test for who is and isn’t pro labor bc a lot of yall seem to think middle class workers shouldn’t be allowed to ask for cost of living increases since they’re not poor

[Brugalito 🇩🇴 @NerdyyBoy23]

So tell the LIRR to pay the workers then tf

[Jessica 🌹🇵🇸 @NYCJessa]

I am a LIRR rider & I support this strike. She doesn't speak for me. The workers on strike are not going to settle for what is essentially a pay cut. I want the workers who work on the trains to be well compensated & energized to continue keeping me safe! #UnionProud #UnionStrong

Sex is the ONE THING that separates the relationship you have with your wife/girlfriend and the relationship you have with a coworker of the opposite sex or your best friend.

Sex is literally what makes your relationship different.
It’s what makes it special.
And it’s the glue that holds it all together!

When a couple has a strong sexual relationship, they’re more united across the board.
They parent kids better. They coordinate schedules better.
They compromise on points of disagreement better.
They have more fun outside the bedroom because they know how to connect and have fun inside the bedroom!!!

It’s that important!

Two Hall of Famers, David Robinson and Tim Duncan: the legendary Twin Towers who built the foundation of Spurs greatness are still humble enough to sit among the fans, rocking the same playoff shirts as everyone else in the Frost Bank Center.

No VIP separation, no ego. Just two of the greatest big men in NBA history blending in with the crowd, cheering on the next chapter led by Victor Wembanyama during Game 1 of the playoffs.

That’s the Spurs way: class, loyalty, and culture that never fades. Still winning hearts in San Antonio.

Go Spurs Go! 🏀🤍

NYC taxes explained for people who don't pay attention:

Property tax. Income tax. Sales tax. Unincorporated business tax. Commercial rent tax. Hotel tax. Mortgage recording tax. Mansion tax. Utility tax. Congestion pricing. Twenty-plus taxes.

And the mayor wants more.

Let me show you what that actually feels like.

You're 26. First real job. $85,000. You feel rich.
Then you see your paycheck.

Federal takes a cut. Fine. Then New York State takes 6%. Then New York City takes another 3.5%. Then there's a "metropolitan commuter mobility tax" you've never heard of.

Your $85K is now $54K before rent.

You grab coffee. 8.875% sales tax. You take an Uber to the airport. Congestion pricing just added $9. Your landlord raised rent, he's passing along a property tax increase you'll never see on a bill but you're paying every month.

You're not rich. You're not even comfortable. You're just surviving. But fine. It's New York. You chose this.

Now here's the part nobody talks about.

In 2000, NYC's budget was $40 billion for 8 million people. That's about $5,000 per person.

Today it's $121 billion for 8.5 million people. $14,244 per person.

Population grew 6%. Inflation was 82%. Spending per person nearly tripled.

So things must be three times better, right?

In 2017, 51% of New Yorkers rated quality of life as good. Today it's 34%.

Only 12% think the city spends money wisely. Only 22% feel safe on the subway at night. Felony assaults hit a 24-year high.

They spend $31,000 per student on education. Less than half kids can read at grade level.

They tripled the spending. Everything got worse.

Where'd the money go?

Pensions up 115%. Outsourced contracts up $7 billion. A brand new $5 billion asylum seeker expense that didn't exist three years ago. Social services doubled. 302,000 city employees. Debt ballooning.

And the new mayor doesn't look at this and say "we need to spend better."

He says "we need to tax more."

A 2% income tax hike that would push the combined state and city rate to 16.8% -> the highest in the entire country. Tax increases that impact everyone.

His supporters chant "tax the rich" at rallies. The top 1% already pay 40% of the city's income tax. And they're leaving anyway. NYC's share of the nation's millionaires dropped from 7% to 4%. They have accountants. They have Florida.

You know who can't leave?

Your uncle with the restaurant. Your parents in that house. You, watching your paycheck disappear into twenty taxes before you can save a dollar.

You need to make $312,000 in New York to live the same lifestyle as someone making $125,000 in Houston.

Houston spends $2,850 per person. No state income tax. No city income tax. Population growing.

NYC spends five times more. Worse results.

NYC is a Netflix subscription that keeps raising the price while the product gets worse.

And you can't cancel.

$40 billion wasn't enough. $60 billion wasn't enough. $80 billion. $100 billion. Now $121 billion.

It will never be enough. Because the problem was never revenue.

There is enough money. There has always been enough money.

They don't need more of yours. They need to do better with what they already take.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

This is exactly what Bron was talking about with this clown last year about the way the game is covered.

You cry and cry about players not caring about the All-Star game. Kawhi was playing it like it was a G7 but that’s still not good enough because you want to know how healthy he’ll be two months from now.

Grow up, dude.

MLB'S DEAL WITH ESPN IS BAD FOR FANS!

“MLB has a deal… you were told for $150 you get every baseball game for the year! Which is a great price! What they didn’t tell you, you also need to pay ESPN $30 a month! Your buck fifty just became $510! Is anything left for the fans? Can something still be for the fans!” — Craig Carton & Tyrone Johnson
