Probably talking about transport, NZ politics, or the New Orleans Pelicans.

@LewSOS They can't progress the sexual consent changes due to "lack of time" but managed to change the entire pay equity framework in about 20 minutes.

@RodWalkerNola I used to have a subscription to The Athletic. But I'm not in the US, so general sports news was of more interest to me than general NO news. (And I do have a couple of local general news subscriptions in my own country).

@FearTheBrown Witherspoon's comment confuses me. In what way *haven't* the keys been handed to him for the past 7 years?

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@FearTheBrown @Bruhrilla Devonte Graham seemed a good example of DG correctly identifying the problem (need more shooting), then solving it with the wrong player. Happened a few times as I recall.

@giddhoops The only other above average defender I can recall Herb teaming with is Dyson Daniels. Makes you wonder what he could do with an actual rim protector backing him up.

@funakistats You just had to say it, didn't you?

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@FearTheBrown Is there any conceivable line-up in which Zion and Queen could work well together?

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@FearTheBrown Can Weaver get his coveted draft picks without trading Trey Murphy?

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@FearTheBrown Who do you think appeals to Weaver in the draft?

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@FearTheBrown List of players you would be targeting if you had GM powers? What kind of player do you *actually* expect Wea-mars to target?

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@lorrainesplace I know you were. And I was observing that NZ First's economic ideology isn't as far removed from the Green's economic ideology as people might think, to the point where a PM might confuse one party's policy for another's.

@farmgeek @greytownbuilder @five15design It's kind of like Simon Bridges trying to encourage electric vehicles by doing all kinds of things except subsidies. The Clean Car Discount showed pretty clearly what works.

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@ClintVSmith $1.9b is also less than the $4b treasury estimate Willis and Peters threw around frequently, so Winston could claim he was saving "billions" with a s if you didn't look to closely.

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@funakistats If you were all powerful GM, what changes would you make to the roster? Genuinely curious about the core you think they should build around, and what they need to complement those players.

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@FearTheBrown At this point, I'm not convinced there's a coaching option out there that would be a significant upgrade over Borrego.

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@JoelMacManus Simeon Brown definitely seems likely to lean into the culture war and has never been shy about deploying dubious facts in support of his claims.

[Icebirdmail @icebirdmail]

@FearTheBrown When the Pelicans have a chance to acquire a frequently injured player, you know they have to take it!
