Claim anything, explain nothing, deny everything.

[Tyrese Haliburton @Hali]

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

Alright alright fine, you guys. I’ll be the Speaker.

@CTabatabaie Argentina has almost a 100% inflation rate. It’s not quite as stupid as it seems!

Godspeed, Mr. President 🫡🫡

[Johnny Buckets @TheJanitor010]

President Trump is currently tied for 2nd all time in popular vote losses. He's gotta go for first!!

[Axios @axios]

SCOOP: Trump had already told advisers he's thinking about running for president again in 2024, two sources familiar with the conversations tell Axios. https://t.co/4yA5s99XqY

@CTabatabaie They’re in good hands now 🫡

This is one of the most important articles I'll write all year—and the most complete framework for how I'm thinking about progress, public policy, and a better future for all Americans:

America needs an "abundance agenda"

Biquette the goat, sold to an abattoir after she stopped producing milk but was rescued by punks and then spent 10 years watching grindcore bands. She could come and go as she pleased and, in the words of her rescuers, “escaped death, lived punk”. Absolute legend.

[Johnny Buckets @TheJanitor010]

@TedInPittsburgh I probably have 9 "distinct" memories from college and this is one of them. Fucking Jon Gruden, man.

[Johnny Buckets @TheJanitor010]

@TedInPittsburgh Hopefully I can find the tape, but I have this distinct memory from college of Matt Moore completing a 5 yard pass to open some MNF game and Gruden hitting us with a "THIS GUY" line lmao.

And asked could he put the worker on camera first 🤝

(the US should drop the embargo, 50+ years is enough evidence it doesn't work. But that's independent of the fact that Cuba's government is a bunch of authoritarian goons and the Cuban people deserve better)

[Johnny Buckets @TheJanitor010]

Yo this is literally the “straightforward from here” bit.

[Johnny Buckets @TheJanitor010]

Enjoy the long weekend.

So I guess Russell Westbrook has single-handedly normalized averaging a triple double? Still seems impressive to me!

Imagining one of my old Yale classmates in a Blackrock fleece showing up at a community meeting in Rancho Palos Verdes reading from a script like "uh yes I too support the maintaining of this neighborhood's historic character"

I’d like to think AMC’s CFO is screaming at the board to feed the ducks while they’re quacking.

Gonna be one of those guys who keeps pointing out that a first-year joint address to Congress is not a "state of the union."
