OpenAI announces $20 billion AI data center in Georgia they claim will create 400 jobs and bring $80 million in benefits for schools, housing, and public safety
After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it....
The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement.
Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place.
This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight.
The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside.
Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue.
The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us.
This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.

One possible reason Brad Stevens made the move he did:
The Celtics were 90-36 (.714) in games that Jaylen Brown did NOT play.
36-6 (.857) in last three seasons.
Equivalent of a 70-win team.

@Michelin
had to mute that Kagurabachi tweet lol.
the full panel art is good, the paneling is mid and imo sterile af. if you fw the manga, cool. I’m waiting for the anime to see if it’s quality or not
@EmbBat_417@SpecialFreak_ compared to Kubo, who ALSO heavily employs neutral backgrounds to strike solid contrast, the model proportions are consistent throughout and characters are properly lit. line work is so much better too. i’m not saying KB isn’t better now, but when it came out I wasn’t fw it
@EmbBat_417@SpecialFreak_ again man, I know the full pages are good. this is what I’m referring to. faces lack detail, proportions are off, lighting is inconsistent bc there’s minimal shading on the disproportioned faces and the clothes are heavily darkened bc of the black outfits. it looks uncanny.
this is what i mean when I say flat and sterile. the choreography and aesthetics are cool, but the chapters themselves look off to me and the lack of character shading and detail makes it look uncanny to me. posting bc I can’t reply with photos for some reason?
@platsu_@EmbBat_417@SpecialFreak_ i’m talking about the panels man, not the full pages. the full pages look solid and the choreography is good i’ve already said that
