If Mark Jackson had gotten his Warriors salary in some kind of as yet undeveloped Steph Curry NFT or cryptocurrency he’d be a billionaire … on paper of course

Bill Simmons’ War on Pickleball takes a dark personal turn @BillSimmons @TheCousinSal @HousefromDC

[Per Sources @PerSources]

I'm being told the Boston Celtics are playing THE FIRST GAME of the NBA season at 3:00pm ET because the court is reserved for a 65 year old+ pickleball tournament at 7:00pm.

[Erin Burnett OutFront @OutFrontCNN]

Former Republican Gov. Bill Graves doubts Trump’s rally in Kansas will help Roger Marshall: “Going to a Trump rally is kind of like going to the freak show at the carnival… what’s he going to say? What’s he going to do? It’s always very entertaining, but whether or not it translates into increased voter turnout… hard to be believed.”

[Jeremiah Edwards @Jedwards_radio]

K-State fans think they hate Kansas football but it’s nothing compared to how much Kansas fans hate Kansas football.

New @KFILE reporting on GOP Sen. Roger Marshall. He’s fighting to hold a seat Democrats haven’t won in nearly 100 years as his words about rising prices come back to haunt him.

These men have lost their minds.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.

Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.

For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. https://t.co/iG3Bnlzt2J

SCOOP:

Trump’s “Super Intelligence” Scandal:

I believe Trump’s “SI” Executive Order was ANOTHER criminal plot to enrich the Trump family.

Insiders seem to have profited MILLIONS off of .si domain names before his Truth Social posts.

Atlanta Hawks. Iowa Hawkeyes. Honest mistake. Maybe you can hire some people to double check your work.

But when Missourians applying for Medicaid or single mothers applying for SNAP make honest mistakes, they lose benefits. You call it ‘saving on entitlements’

Disgusting. This is what you’d say if your company was a giant financial engineering firm. His net worth is dependent on people not being able to do basic math.

[Chief Nerd @TheChiefNerd]

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang questions whether some of the learning fundamentals are still relevant

“Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter? I don't think it does.”

[Texas Cattle Feeders Association @txcattlefeeders]

A joint statement from Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Kansas Livestock Association and Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association regarding the ongoing ICE operations in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas:

“The Kansas Livestock Association, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association and Texas Cattle Feeders Association are closely monitoring reported U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity affecting agricultural communities in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.

Our organizations respect the responsibility of federal agencies to enforce the law. At the same time, cattle producers, feedyards, dairies, livestock markets, processors, and other rural businesses depend on a stable workforce to care for animals, protect food safety, and keep the supply chains operating. Sudden workforce disruptions can create immediate animal-welfare, operational, and economic consequences that extend well beyond an individual business. These ICE operations are having a massive chilling effect on the legal, documented, skilled workers that put beef on the table and keep the cattle supply chain moving. Additionally, these types of disruptions will lead to higher beef prices for consumers.

Reported impacts to our organizations throughout the past few days have been:
- Thousands of fed cattle slated for shipping to processors now delayed, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and additional costs.
- Workforce disruptions at numerous supply chain chokepoints such as feedyards, dairies, processors, feed and grain companies, transportation hubs, and community services.

These disruptions come at a time of enhanced focus and pressure on the cattle and beef supply chain. They are a costly and unnecessary impact to cattle producers already suffering from unwelcome political interference to both the markets as well as the physical supply chain. Frustratingly, the harm these actions cause to cattle producers last for days and weeks after such operations conclude.

We urge federal officials to conduct enforcement actions in a lawful, orderly, and transparent manner; respect due process; and communicate clearly with affected employers and communities.”

He doesn’t know the difference between ‘repressive’ and ‘impressive’

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Q: China is one of the most repressive countries for journalists in the world--

TRUMP: Well, I don't know about that. I think we're repressive also

[Sam @SamCarterPFS]

Kansas this man doesn’t care about you. How can he represent you? What justification has Marshall given for entering this war? What acheived objective would end the war? DTJ foreign policy is merely OPEC destabilization

[Pop Crave @PopCrave]

Shailene Woodley’s stylist, Karla Welch, claps back at criticism over her Emmys outfit:

“Love or hate something fine but it’s an opinion and it can even be a conversation but being super rude and mean and taking glee from it, well that says a lot more about the mouths it’s coming from.”

[Sam @SamCarterPFS]

He (Trump) said to me ‘I think you’re incompetent’

I said to him ‘I know you’re incompetent’

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

OH. MY. GOD.

If you have EVER fantasized about what you'd tell trump to his face if you had the chance, Rep. Joyce Beatty just DID that.

He thought he was going to call her names. And he found out.

So good. 🔥 🔥 🔥

@TaylorTwellman I always thought that whether the offside player actually touches the ball is beside the point. If he forces the defense to cover him, he’s involved in the play. I’ve seen offside given for players who let a cross go by them and make no attempt to contact the ball. Rubbish call
