Anthony Edwards on being the 3rd youngest player to reach 10,000 points only behind LeBron James & Kevin Durant:
“They were 18 when they got drafted, they had an extra year. But those guys are goats.”
One of the toughest lines I’ve ever heard.
@MNHRCWarRoom Having to clarify "I'm a Democrat" in the title because opposing pardons for child rapists dodging deportation is mainly a Republican position now is the real story here
Much too expansive. These are the only 5. If you disagree, please argue with me.
1. Championships
2. Death/funerals
3. Weddings
4. Watching Field of Dreams
5. Birth
Times you’re allowed to cry as a man:
-when your dog dies
-the ending of Friday Night Lights
-when you see your Grandpa for the first time in a while and realize he’s not all there
-when your friend’s bride reads her vows and they’re amazing and you realize no one will ever love you as much and it’s 100% your fault
-hearing Somewhere Only We Know by Keane and getting nostalgic for friends you don’t know anymore
-when Rocky beats the 10-count in Rocky II
-when an unpopular girl gets made fun of at a party and runs away crying saying “this always happens”
-when you see a picture of yourself as a toddler and realize the person you are now is someone that kid would’ve thought was awesome
All I want is to be in a situation where there are 20 dudes between me and the guy I want to fight. Scrapping relentlessly to get through them. There has to be no better feeling
@TheDailyWolves The whole halftime should be chris finch walking around the locker room slapping each player in the face yelling wake up but he slaps gobert 5 times
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature can see what this is: function creep in real time.
A policy or technology is introduced for a limited, often reasonable purpose, but over time, that same mechanism is expanded into a tool of surveillance and control.
Something’s sold in the name of safety, like using AI in cars to prevent drunk driving, and it’s accepted because its first use seems reasonable and hard to object to. But once the mechanism exists, it’s rarely removed. More often, it expands beyond its original purpose into uses almost no one could have imagined, much less accepted, at the outset.
First, it’s used to stop drunk driving. Then it’s used to stop uninsured drivers. Then it’s used against people with unpaid fines. Then it’s used to restrict movement during a so-called public health emergency. Then it’s used against people classified by some three-letter bureau or algorithm as a “risk,” an “extremist,” or whatever other category the Regime finds useful.
The infrastructure remains, while the justification keeps changing.
This is the beginning of the technological panopticon we’re all helping to build around ourselves. It’s not the open tyranny of twentieth-century dictatorships, but something softer and more subtle: rule through the administrative state, through safety and convenience until compliance becomes automatic.
The Leviathan doesn’t need to kick down your door if it can simply disable your car.
The machine is built for one reason, then kept for every other reason thereafter.
Buckle up! Scott Foster is tonight’s crew chief. There’s this recent absurdness, plus hard to ignore the Gobert $$ gesture from a couple years ago. #Wolves#Twolves#TakeRoot
It took centuries of toil and sacrifice to reach the apex of human civilization that is America. The crux of the Democrat agenda is to resettle the masses of the world on our shores and redistribute the wealth and resources our civilization has produced until nothing is left.
