I'm just so sad. Jaylen was the best and that #7 will be in the rafters someday

[Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA]

A consistent theme from Jaylen’s comments tonight has been his connection to the city of Boston. It wasn’t just superficial. There are few players in the NBA who have invested so deeply into socioeconomic change in the way he has. He has gone way beyond giving money or even time. He took on the mission of evolving Boston and making it a more equitable place for minorities. So much of what he did in his new home served a bigger purpose. You could see it in how much time he dedicated to talking with kids when he put events together, or how he held meetings quietly behind closed doors with people in positions of power to advocate for policy change. Like, look at what he did with his extension signing at his Bridge program, or his sneaker unveiling at the museum of science that featured a panel on science education with Bill Nye. Him getting traded has a much bigger effect on the city than just losing a beloved player. I’ve been back in Boston this week and seeing so many people I know in the political and creative space be devastated by this trade because they valued him as much as a leader in the community as an athlete. And that’s why the character assassination stuff he called out on his stream was so prescient. I’ve seen him constantly put himself in rooms where it was clear his intent was to grow and to share, not to be the smartest person there. I remember when he spoke on the education system at MIT when he first got to Boston, struggled to get his presentation out cleanly, then kept improving and growing as a thought leader from there. From the beginning, he put himself out there trying to implement change in the community and he built a legacy few athletes have. It’s honestly the first thing I think of when I think about his time in Boston.

Thanks for everything Jaylen❤️☘️

If this was ownership mandate: Sell the team
If this was Brad losing faith in Jaylen: Fire him
If this was Jaylen demanding a trade: Fire Brad anyway because this is not the answer
If there's some other reason, help me understand

[Dante Turo @DanteOnDeck]

Jaylen Brown was the third overall pick in 2016 and was booed on draft night. He was benched during the Kyrie/Hayward era, and signed a contract extension nobody believed he deserved. He proceeded to improve every. single. season. and eventually help the Celtics raise Banner 18, all while doing absolutely NOTHING wrong.

Never controversial. Never an issue off the court. He always played hard and never complained. Boston just lost one of the greatest players to wear a Celtics jersey. It’s a guarantee his jersey will be hanging in the rafters one day.

@rudymgarza Shhh quiet about bodega, don't know how that place is <$200 greens fees it's such a dope course

@aphysicist Disappointed to see you so blinded by a hard-on for Elon's manufacturing prowess that you can't acknowledge how singularly responsible he was for these aid cuts. He was the one who forced the agency into the cringe "DOGE" name!

Nobody has won more combined regular season and playoff games since I entered the league 10 years ago

@skooookum At least 2 days a week in the office I've been working in for the last 4 years I type "lunch" into Google maps

@nickcammarata @arram Isn't that the opposite? That puts the cost of changing the neighborhood on the developer, not the person trying to maintain it. Something like "residents of each block in Sunset have to together pay the city $XM/year or your block immediately upzones to 30fl apts" seems more apt

It will be an uncommon choice not to have LLMs write for you, but it won't be a merely idiosyncratic one. It will be what all the people who care about thinking well do.

@dieworkwear DMs closed, so using this post to say thanks for all your thoughtful fashion commentary over the years. Your writing helped me find my tux & understand OTR is not "worse" than MTM: I ended up very happy w/ my OTR Sid Mash. Lmk of a good animal shelter I can donate to as thanks!

@RMB If you're near the north side I quite like Ground Central on 28th

@SGSpicksAudit @NoLayingUp @ThorbjornOleZyn Hadn't considered this but it actually seems very plausible for something LIV would do lol

[Lucas Jenkins @jenklu12]

@ThorbjornOleZyn @NoLayingUp They talked about this on one of the pods recently and acknowledged that these were bots, but said that someone else was botting the follows and that this was also happening to other golf accounts (iirc @peterjkostis was one). I buy it, seems odd to address otherwise.

one thing they don’t tell you in software engineer school is that you’re gonna fumble generational wealth like 10 times and you just gotta learn to thug it out

@reed @ethanmckanna @Waymo I know it's hard to hear constructive feedback, but this post feels like it's coming from a very defensive POV and does not sufficiently empathize with your users. I have this problem too sometimes, but it's good to take a deep breath before posting when getting genuine feedback

it must be a particularly profound pleasure to personally and publicly present the pontiff with the paltry proceeds of the papal Paypal

Don't understand how NYPD hasn't cracked down on the drug markets btw 22nd and 24th on 6th Ave. Very clear vendors selling ""trinkets"" to drug addicts and it's been going on for years every day for the years I've been working in the neighborhood
