.@bomani_jones on the Warriors:

"Ever since [the Warriors] went on that 2 timelines nonsense, they have been actively trying to prepare for tomorrow and this league doesn't really allow you to play for tomorrow and play for today at the same time. It's amazing they won the championship when they did. And why did they win that championship when they did? Because they had Steph Curry. That's why. They still have Steph Curry and this isn't like the last couple years for the Lakers, where like Kobe was cooked, so 'No, we're definitely playing for tomorrow and we just got him here to sell tickets and make people feel better about it.' That's not what's going on here guys. You got the guy and he's still pretty good right now and you're out loud talking about 'What're we going to do tomorrow?' That's the beauty of being the owner, can't nobody fire you for being stupid."

[richard kim @rkim3150]

when Curry and Butler were both healthy, he told everyone they had no chance against OKC and SA. Now Butler is gone and Curry is hobbled and he’s acting all shocked some fans aren’t overflowing w hope lol

"It's a question of revenue. I'm not an idiot."

Steve Kerr doubles down on his desire for a 72-game season to improve the NBA product.

"To improve the product, we would actually have to make a little less revenue. Not really an American concept anymore."

[Rock Solid @ShitpostRock]

Notice how the UK goverment, US goverment and the rothschild all want to topple Valve

They genuinely can’t stand that a business with high customer satisfaction isn’t publicly owned and completely driven by money

[Meg ✦ @Flicky0ps]

we fumbled big time when we started investing tech into social surveillance and reducing humanity in creative spaces instead of making helpful little guys

[Sai Ishaya @Sai_Ishaya_]

The Kanye West comparison remains the best description to show this imbalance.

He is a black man with a severe documented mental health condition and when he made antisemitic statements, the world collectively decided that his illness did not grant him a pass to spread hate. World leaders made statements, he was ostracised from a lot of his business deals, he lost millions of dollars.

The "nuance" of his severe bipolar disorder was set aside in favour of the outrage from the Jewish community. Yet, when the roles are shifted and the perpetrator is a white man with a neurological condition, the "nuance" suddenly becomes the entire story.

If an institution's first reflex is to explain away a slur rather than address the harm it caused, they aren't being inclusive, they are choosing to prioritize the social comfort of the person who spoke over the fundamental dignity of the people who were targeted.

Look at how quickly people(mostly white) online rushed in to explain that he has Tourette's. Before anyone had even finished processing what happened, the conversation had already shifted to defending the speaker. It’s not that the condition isn't real or relevant. It's that the instinct to protect the speaker seemed to arrive faster than the instinct to acknowledge the harm.

Once it comes to black people, the emotional burden is by default, expected to flip. So that the people who heard the slur are now expected to demonstrate empathy before their own reaction is even treated as legitimate.

None of this requires denying the reality of Tourette's or pretending the outburst was intentional. A neurological condition can explain why something happened without erasing what it felt like to hear it. Both truths can sit together. A fair response has to acknowledge that even with a lack of intent, the reality of the harm is still there. Aggressively writing a 10 page thesis on Tourette's to shut down conversations doesn't do anyone any favours.

I’m dead serious there’s just a large contingent of NBA and CBB fans who will not believe you’re injured until you suffer major injury. The amount of people pretending Hali’s calf stuff was fake until he tore his Achilles was frightening.

[GOAT @GOATails]

Doris is a horrible listen.

Warriors score on a backdoor and she says “if anyone could appreciate that, it’s the Denver Nuggets” 😭

[stay cozy. @kickgame_wavey]

what the warriors will actually do this offseason:

- extend draymond
- extend podz
- extend kerr
- let melton walk (to have money for podz)
- draft an unskilled player who can’t shoot

[L. David Fairchild @David_Fairchild]

He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans.

That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference?

The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.

[fakelogic @fakelogic]

25-year-old OG Anunoby, to be clear.

[The Sage @TheBBallSage]

Wanna fix the team for one last swing? It's not hard, #DubNation

- Re-sign Melt on a cheapish deal. Let's face it, he's kinda exposed without Steph. He shouldn't be too expensive.

- Re-sign KP on a cheapish deal. He's actually playing? Wow... Also not too expensive at this point.

- Dray wants to stay? OK. Opt out. Cheap deal!

- Trade Jimmy. Can't wait all year. Sorry. Love him, but nope. Go get Kawhi. Kawhi not available? Someone else will be. Salary, picks, get it done!

[Justin (RIPKOBE) @ThePackageJG]

Just gimme a couple more runs, 30k points and 5K threes brother

[WOJ Artest🇦🇺🦘🏀 @PacersWoody]

They didn’t fine the Jazz until it affected live betting money lines.

Then Adam Silver has the balls to sell it as if he’s “protecting the fans”.

Somehow thinks we are all beyond dumb & would eat that excuse up.

[Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar]

Abolishing the NBA Draft is an all-time bad take.

How do we restore competitive balance within the league?

Ah yes, by giving the big markets yet another competitive advantage and removing the one avenue for smart small market teams to build a contender.

[Jazz Fan @utahjazzfan47]

This should be the nail in the coffin for Adam Silver.

The fact that gambling companies played any role at all in punishing tanking teams is absolutely ridiculous.

Adam Silver has to go.

"It's a story about starting from nothing, working hard, and never quitting." No it's not 🔥🔥🔥

[The Warriors Invitational 🏆 @BlqMgck]

??????? It quite literally isn't.

[Pirate Tim Kawakami @TKawakamiMuse]

Honestly Steph should sit out as many games as he needs until he’s 110%

If Joe’s gonna quit on him, Steph has NO obligation to risk his body for Joe’s ticket sales
