It’s absolutely wild that you can be photographed on Epstein Island, evade hearings about your ties to a convicted child predator, and still show your face at an NBA finals game because you're rich and connected.
If that isn’t a broken system, what is?
James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
Chess GOAT Magnus Carlsen called out the NBA app for showing spoilers during the Western Conference Finals.
“Whomever is responsible for the NBA app, we have one of the best series in years going on right now in the Western Conference Finals, and when people have 'no spoilers' on in the app, they expect no spoilers. So, do better.”
Mike Brown was fired from the Kings less than a year and a half ago.
He was also fired by the Cavaliers, who he just swept, TWO SEPARATE TIMES in his career.
Today, he’s leading the Knicks to their first NBA Finals in 27 years.
I’ve shared this before, but every time it shows up it’s worth sharing again.
Fighting Games are just like this. This is overloading the Mental Stack.
Obviously your actions are limited in Fighting Games, so you have to feint by creative means. Crouching for half a second, changing directions of walking for half a second, whiffing LPs, etc. You’d be surprised at the very subtle things people react to in milliseconds.
One of my favorite examples is something Mike Ross used to do in SFIV with Honda. Instead of just doing a raw Headbutt at opponents to attack, he would take advantage of the Special Move button window and make Honda walk forward for just the tiniest fraction of a second before Headbutting.
People relax when they see Honda walk forward. They assume he’s lost his charge, so they’re baited into walking or approaching or lowering their defense. So the Headbutt would come out and catch people by surprise.
But all it took was that tiny millisecond of walking forward, and it was enough of a feint to get people to subconsciously react to.
Another example: if you want to walk up and Throw someone in the middle of Neutral because you got them scared to press buttons, even the slightest crouch for half a second in the middle of walking forward can cause the opponent to be convinced you’re going to attack instead of Throw (esp. in SF6 where crMK DRC is such a threat), making them less likely to Tech the Throw.
So like GSP talks about here, feinting is very important. Making your opponent overly stimulated by subtle cues can make them less likely to react to your actual angle of attack.
WNBA generated an estimated of $200-$300 million in 2025.
UFC generated an estimated $1.5 billion in 2025.
WNBA minimum salary is now $300 k, UFC’s starter contract is 12k to show, 12k more if you win.
Donald Trump promised that the UFC White House event would bring us some of the greatest fights in history. Naturally, that was a lie.

Edward Norton: “These are not normal times. We have extrajudicial assaults on Americans going on a daily basis now and it’s not okay. We cannot act like this is not happening. What they’re doing in Minnesota with the strike needs to expand. I think we should be talking about a national general economic strike until this is over”
