I just invoked Jon Snow, Aragorn and Winston Churchill in a talk about beer in case you're wondering how I feel re: fall seasonals in August

For the FIRST time in NBA history, there will be 8 straight unique champions across an 8-year span.

What a series. Finals should be great. I love basketball

He’s right again

Just one day I’d like to open the news and not see something incredibly depressing from one of the two people who will likely be our next mayor

[Patrick Curran @_PatrickCurran]

@eat_dc @adamconner Yep

@AidanC_10 that’s a load-bearing “if,” but if it does hold I think that’s a pretty conservative projection

WEMBY FROM THE PARKING LOT WHEN SAN ANTONIO NEEDED HIM MOST 😱

Don’t tell CPS but the toddler is allowed to stay up for playoff basketball of this caliber

[Nate Wolff @proffwolff]

Look, Middlemarch is a great novel. It complexly mediates class conflict, commodification of all life, emerging ideological structures of Victorian capitalism. I just personally think it’s more impressive when a novel does that through a story about a guy who hates a weird fish.

I saw four today and I was never near the ballpark

The Bad Day to Be a Hot Dog hat from the Nats game has gone multiplatinum at every outdoor drinking event establishment in this city

[Malcolm Harris @BigMeanInternet]

They should formally decriminalize having a beer in the park. On a nice evening half the adults have a drink with them, plenty of them parents, everyone's fine. Stupid puritan rule in the first place.

The Pittsburgh Zoo is clearly in win-now mode.

[Michael Grunwald @MikeGrunwald]

Of course, in Virginia voters specifically said they wanted the redrawn maps, while Florida voters specifically said they didn't, so the courts will overrule the voters in both states because judicial activism is very bad unless it benefits Republicans.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)
No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP)
No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP)
No vote in Texas (+5 GOP)

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.

MAGA has rigged the system.

[Mitch Goldich 🐙 @mitchgoldich]

One of the defining hallmarks of our modern age is that people in charge of good things are willing to make them incrementally worse for a chance to make more money, knowing most people are powerless to stop it.

I basically do this with the Pogues, and I don’t think that’s actually a good answer, but I know I can do it.

If you had to listen to music from one band or artist for 14 hours straight for two full years to get paid $140,000,000

Who are you choosing?

Wemby just blocked a shot *over* the backboard. Every time I turn on the TV he's doing something I've never seen before.

[Patrick Curran @_PatrickCurran]

I like Tatum but it’s pretty hard to argue with this (and it’s hilarious too)

good steve kerr interview
