California state fire plan is going to pay 10+ billion dollars for this palisades fire, and there’s 6 planes working it?? Why not 100?

The best President in my lifetime - not just because of what he has accomplished, but because he cares more about the country than his career. He promised to be a bridge and he has been - first to the first Black president and now hopefully the first woman.

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

On Bill Maher, Secretary of Transportation @PeteButtigieg talks about @JDVance1:

“I know a lot of guys like JD Vance…they say whatever they need to say to get ahead.”

He then compares Vance to his former home state Governor Mike Pence.

Buttigieg talks about Pence being an Evangelical who threw away his principles in order to gain power by being Trump’s Vice-President only to end up four years later being targeted by Trump’s supporters at the US Capitol.

He says that he hopes that things do not turn out the same way for Vance.

On Trump’s growing group of Silicon Valley billionaires, Buttigieg says: “These are very rich man who have decided to back the Republican party which does very good things for very rich men.”

There have always been two Joe Bidens. The empathetic, decent, big-hearted leader, forged in loss and grief, finding the good in his friends and opponents, in love with America, arms wide and open with space for everyone. And there’s the blowhard with a chip on his shoulder, stubborn, something to prove, his fellow senators rolling their eyes as the finger wags harder and the stories get longer. Statesman and politician, hero and fool.

Joe Biden ran for president for 50 years. He finally won because he ran as that hero at a time when the country was desperate for empathy and normalcy and wisdom and grace. It was still too close. But even when he was doubted by insiders and pundits (hi!), he persevered; he knew Democrats, he knew America, and he was right.

And then! To his great and everlasting credit, Joe Biden governed as that statesman too. He built a coalition wide enough to hold Joe Manchin and Bernie Sanders. He defied Washington’s stodgy consensus when necessary, a consensus he spent a lifetime living inside. He adapted, he governed with humility and purpose, whether on how to revive the economy, or take on monopolies, or address student loans, or press for the largest investment in clean energy by any country anywhere on earth. And even as he showed the capacity to listen to the rising progressive voices inside the Democratic party, at the very same time he achieved bipartisan legislative successes in defiance of every political trend of the last thirty years. Joe Biden has been an extraordinary president! Statesman. Hero.

But it’s hard to deny that in the two weeks since the debate, it’s the arrogant and small Joe Biden we’ve seen most - hanging on, bragging, defensive, angry, weak. Who else but him? he wonders aloud. Only God could change his mind, he tells us. The stakes for the country are all that matter. The stakes for Joe Biden are beside the point. But it’s worth saying just the same: Joe Biden can leave office as one of the greatest presidents in our lifetimes, who defeated Trump and put his country first at every turn; or he can leave a stubborn old man who allowed hubris and insecurity to destroy his legacy and perhaps our democracy with it.

We all have our best and worst selves, scrambling over each other, battling it out in the moments that define us. Where is the Joe Biden we elected? Where is the statesman? I hope that version of him shows up soon. And I hope the people around him know where to look.

[Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳 @chefjoseandres]

.@netanyahu how can you look into the mirror everyday? Killing civilians, Israelis or Palestinians is wrong….1 life is one too many…..but why you keep going on this path of destroying families and the future of an entire generation of Palestinians? And making Israel less safe? And all the MiddleEast?…Peace is the only way….

Lot of twitter refs forget the nba rule book is online. The rule in consideration..
“Vibrate the rim, net or backboard so as to cause the ball to make an unnatural bounce, or bend or move the rim to an off-center position when the ball is touching the ring or passing through.”

[Ballislife.com @Ballislife]

Draymond: "When I jumped to get the putback, Giddey went back into my legs so it brought my hand down and hit the rim. But hitting the rim is not a goaltend."

This is certainly a big claim from the NBA (especially without releasing a study). @TheAthleticNBA @TheAthletic would love if there was at least a single question about this “data” in the article.

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

In a stunning development, a top NBA official said teams’ practice of resting players to prevent future injury and extend careers – commonly known as “load management” – is no longer supported by scientific data held by the league.

@joevardon and @sam_amick have more ⤵️

To be clear, this is money that the people in the top 0.1% legally owe - but didn’t pay.
