Trae Young says he'll never forgive playing it safe on a sprained ankle two games from the finals
"If what I know now, I would have played through my sprained ankle. My agents were telling me not to play"
"We were two games away to go to the finals, we had beat the Suns twice that year. You never know when that opportunity is going to come again"
"That's one thing that breaks me. I wish I would have just triple taped it, put the ankle brace on top, and played through that pain"
DJ Akademiks reacts to Gucci Mane taking shots at Pooh Shiesty and his crew on his latest track "CRASH DUMMY" 👀
"This is the weakest sh*t I've seen since- it would've been the weakest sh*t ever if it wasn't for J. Cole apologizing after he got dissed."
"Getting robbed by your artist, making a police report. Then instead of going to get your sh*t back, dissing the n***a for robbing you. Nah, this is crazy."
I was homeless for six months in 2011. I slept in my car. I used to park behind a small church because it was dark and quiet. I thought nobody knew I was there. Every morning, I’d wake up, drive to a gas station to wash my face, and go to work (yes, I had a job, just couldn't afford rent). One night, it was freezing. 10 degrees. My car wouldn't start to run the heater. I was shivering so hard my teeth hurt. I saw the back door of the church open. A janitor came out to dump the trash. He saw my car. He saw me huddled in the front seat. He didn't call the cops. He didn't come over and tap on the window. He just walked back to the door, unlocked it, and propped it open with a small rock. Then he turned on the hallway light and left. I waited ten minutes. Then I ran inside. It was warm. There was a couch in the lobby. There was a bathroom with hot water. I slept there every night for the rest of the winter. Every night, the rock was there. I never met the janitor. I never thanked him. I’m back on my feet now. I have a house. I have a bed. But every year on the first snow, I donate a check to that church. I write "For the heating bill" in the memo line. Sometimes the loudest way to love your neighbor is to say nothing at all.

We are overstimulated and we don't even notice. Netflix while eating. Reels in the bathroom. Music while cooking. Podcasts on walks. We consume by default, not by intention. You keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated. Boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. They give you space to think and create. That's when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. Leave some room.
Atlanta Hawks hosting a night presented by an alcoholic beverage brand.
Luke Kornet, is Atlanta allowed to have Crowning Courage night or is that also crossing the line?
So…. A player who doesn’t play for Atlanta or Orlando is opposing the Magic City collaboration curated for the culture…. Where, just to be clear, he doesn’t personally have to watch or attend? Do I have that right?
😳 Spurs' Luke Kornet calls on the Hawks to cancel their upcoming "Magic City Night" -- bashing the move as disrespectful to women.

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.
There's a big difference between scoring 40 and giving up 40. Thats the difference between men & women in body count. Best analogy I've heard thus far 🤣🤣🤣
