No human being on either side of the political aisle is less than human. Everyone deserves mercy, even my worst enemy. And even if we see them as horrible, their children didn't do anything to deserve growing up without a parent.

This morning my wife asked me "Did people think Brunson was going to be this good?" I said "actually, no." But given that, this "analysis" is insane. Love that it starts/ends with Stephen A. Smith.

Required watching for every young person today!

In 10 years, this clip will go viral while we reminisce on this Knicks team

The chaser is hilarious.

Twins originally had a Royce Lewis replica jersey giveaway for today. They took it off the promotional schedule when Lewis was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul.

Then the Saints scheduled a separate Royce Lewis t-shirt giveaway for today, only for him to get called up by the Twins.

There’s not a lot of unique sentences left in the English language, but I can almost guarantee this was one of them

Game 2 was tied and then this happened…

[Mark Ramos @MRMark5]

Exactly so. "My Christian Dior" doesn't even make sense as wordplay until the 1st two lines set up the pattern. The absurdist 3rd line flips the sentence structure to set up the final rhyme *and* really pull the listener in ("wait, what?") for the euphoric non-sequitur crescendo.

[Namwali @namwalien]

Nope. "My Christian Dior" is already a volta after the first two lines; can't pre-empt it. And the unexpected rhyme is another volta--brings it home, just like the Knicks in the fourth quarter. That singsongy scheme of yours would ruin the whole effect.

June 6. Five beaches. 23k paradropped or landed gliders behind enemy lines. 130k hit the beaches. Two American, two British, one Canadian. Omaha saw the bloodiest fighting, but the grunts took the beach. Paris would be liberated in 80 days.

I'm always moved by the D-Day story.🇺🇸

[Scott Greenfield @ScottGreenfield]

A disgrace to the memory of the men and women who gave their lives to win World War II.

@3YearLetterman If Rubio had used that glass during his SOTU response he'd be in his third term as president today.

[Greg Bagwell @gregbagwell]

The commemoration of the bravery, tragedy and importance of D-Day is not ever the place to try and score cheap political points. What an ignorant and disrespectful dumbass.

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence has never even received an intelligence briefing before this Thursday.

For context, the White House janitorial staff held a higher security clearance than the new Intelligence Director.

This is DANGEROUS.

[Mark Ramos @MRMark5]

@redwanshahid @shirtsthtgohard Nah - I get that you want to set up the ABCB rhyme, but the first two lines set up the wordplay of the 3rd before the non-sequitur rhyme at the end. It works *because* it's not a straight "roses are red" thing.

Go Knicks! #twomore

[KnicksMuse @KnicksMuse]

Truly amazing.

[Mark Ramos @MRMark5]

RT @arielhelwani: Massive shoutout to the longest tenured Knick one of our own Big Mitch. What a final possession that was. So happy for hi…

[Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani]

What a beautiful soul. God bless you @KarlTowns. Playing the series of his life and doing it with such poise and grace.

[Mark Ramos @MRMark5]

@Jane_Doe82 My Knicks-fan post-trauma system wasn't sure how to handle it when there wasn't a Spurs putback or a foul at the final buzzer.

All good now though!
