Abdul Carter on Jaxson Dart:
"If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world."
Pat Riley: "When you get in bed with gambling sites as a league, and they advertise on your network, it seems like everything's okay. And it seems like to me that's a contradiction of what we're trying to do from a purity standpoint."
Call me radical, but I don’t think we should be throwing millions of Americans off health care while we bail out a ruthless dictator whose family is worth $300 billion.
LEE: Your agency told programs to remove 200 words from their funding applications including the word "Black." Do you have an idea how we can solve the black maternal health crisis if we cannot say "Black"?
RFK JR: DEI divided and polarized people.
LEE: We’re talking about healthcare.
RFK JR: We’re talking about DEI. Do you think the federal government should be paying for DEI?
LEE: I think the federal government has a vested interest in ensuring citizens survive childbirth.
RFK JR: We are meeting that obligation.
LEE: We are not
Victor Wembanyama after being asked about his thoughts on the environment:
“Of course, I care a lot about it, and I feel a certain guilt about polluting so much as someone who flies 41 times a season.
But..I want to have an impact, and I want to counteract this negative carbon footprint through whatever impact I can, financially [or] socially, I want to have an impact for the future...Investing, yes, but not for profit.”
You have to choose.
You can have ChatGPT, or you can have water.
You can have Claude, or you can have clean soil.
You can have Grok, or you can have a survivable future.
You cannot have both.
As James makes plain in this video, the Rooney Rule doesn’t require hiring anyone. It very literally just requires you to interview 2 people who are not white men. Just 2. You can still interview 15 white dudes be in compliance.
Even THAT is a bridge too far for these weirdos.
