Honestly can’t believe all the whining I’m seeing right now. Next great NBA rivalry has already reached the point where these teams hate each other and are ratcheting up the physicality. I prayed for times like this. This is playoff basketball.
Zohran is being a ruthless politician (complimentary). People just aren’t used to electeds on the left acting in this way.
To quote a buddy of mine who works in NY politics: “Some in the center act as if the left isn’t allowed to play politics, that being transactional is somehow a betrayal of their values.”
If your boss, Andrew Cuomo, had done something like this, no one would have batted an eye. I mean look at what he did with the IDC! He literally orchestrated handing over control of the state Senate to Republicans!
But he’s not on the left, and he’s an old school style centrist politician, so he gets a pass for it.
You might think what’s happening in Kansas doesn’t affect you because you’re not trans, but the same government telling us you need ID to vote, is showing us how easy it is for them to take our ID. Wake up.
Matthew McConaughey is an early investor in GenAI platforms. He has a financial stake in promoting the message that this tech is inevitable and profitable and we must submit to it (all untrue). Not disclosing this is a moral and journalistic failure.
nba anti tanking hysteria comes from the belief that bad teams could just be good if they tried harder or were more virtuous. it’s similar to the belief that modern players are lazy and don’t play the game the right way unlike the righteous heroes of the past.
