@bballbreakdown @BenStiller Since when are you allowed a jump stop AND two steps? When I was taught the rules, it was one or the other.

[AnalogMike @MikeFraedrich]

@JimmySpencer Back in my day it was either 2 steps after you stop dribbling OR a jump stop. Not both.

@PerezNicolasLol If playing online counts, then by far the easiest is to beat Magnus by cheating (bot assistance). Otherwise, if I had to try one tomorrow they're all impossible but my best chance is against Victor. Given a year to train, it's either F1 or chess and I'm not sure which.

It’s incredible how “if we meet people’s basic needs, they’ll stop working” and “billionaires are hard workers” coexist in people’s minds.

"Look I asked [AI] and it says"

Not joking even a little bit when I say I'd rather listen to things you heard from a clown you met in a dumpster than anything any AI told you

[Brian Eskow @brianeskow]

It is RUDE to lean your seat back on a flight.

I'm dying on this hill.

I don’t want an AI summary of my Google search. I don’t want an AI summary of the text message from my friend at work. I don’t want an AI summary of the email I’m about to read. Please just stop.

[Katherine Argent @effthealgorithm]

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry?

Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area.

You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

[AnalogMike @MikeFraedrich]

@bballbreakdown Lol, even when you’re right, you’re wrong. There is contact to Thompson’s head, but it is marginal.

[AnalogMike @MikeFraedrich]

Still the same in 2026. Disappointing!

[B. @Purp_Nowitzki]

I can watch the All Star game in 4k on FS1 but not the NBA playoffs on ABC or ESPN which YouTube TV sponsored 😭😭😭

[Brian Tong @briantong]

Hey @NBA on @Amazon Prime! Fix your audio mix...the announcers are ONLY coming from the right side for a surround sound setup. Just crowd noise from the center and left channels and no announcer commentary . 🗑️🗑️🗑️

[AnalogMike @MikeFraedrich]

@SpursReporter For everyone saying “he was protecting himself” that doesn’t matter. Tripping is a foul, and the reason is irrelevant.

[AnalogMike @MikeFraedrich]

@ReallyAmerican1 He’s actually being very consistent if you consider that his definition of “unlawful” is “stuff I don’t like”.

[AnalogMike @MikeFraedrich]

@CBD_Thunder @MrBuckBuckNBA You call that a foul playing pickup at the park?

[AnalogMike @MikeFraedrich]

@DevinOlsenn @RousingRevel You know what else has autonomy & makes our roads safer, but is also a proven technology with a great safety record that has existed for generations? Trains.

[JΛKΣ @USMCLiberal]

What the fucking fuck is this maniac talking about. He told Pete Hegseth about Osama bin Laden a year before 9/11???

Pete Hegseth was a 20 year old college kid a year before 9/11.

Trump needs to be removed from office.
He’s COMPLETELY lost it.

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

There is no internet.
No signal. No sound. No world beyond this cage.

I walked thirty minutes through ruins and dust. Not in search of escape, but for a fragment of signal, just enough to whisper, “We are still alive.”

Not because anyone is listening,
but because to die unheard is the final death.

Gaza is silent now.
Not with peace, but with obliteration.
Not a silence of stillness, but of smothering.

They severed the last cable.
No messages leave. No images enter.
Even grief has been forbidden.

I passed the corpses of buildings, of homes, of men, some breathing, some not.
All of them erased by the same hand that erased our voices.

This is not a siege of bombs alone.
It is a siege of memory: a war against our ability to say, “We were here.”

The bombing never stopped, especially in Jabalia.
They shell the streets where children beg for food.
They shell the lines where mothers wait for flour.
They shell hunger itself.

No food. No water. No exit.
And those who try, those who reach for aid, are struck down.

People die here, and no one knows.
Not because the killing paused, but because the killing of connection succeeded.

The internet was our final breath.
It was not a luxury; it was the last evidence of our humanity.

Now it is gone.
And in the dark, they massacre without consequence.

I found this faint eSIM signal as a dying man finds a flicker of flame.
I stood beneath a broken sky, risking death, not for rescue, but to send this.

A single message.
A last resistance.

If you are reading this, remember:
we walked through fire to say it.
We were not silent.
We were silenced.

And when the cables are restored,
the truth will bleed through the wires,
and the world will know what it chose not to see.
