So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

"I just felt a calm and a peace that had to be come from the woman above (his mom). I felt like a kid. It was just fun out here. It felt like I was a kid getting ready to go play my Saturday AAU games and Sunday AAU games. In a way I felt like I was seeing her in the stands"

KAT: "I don't know what it was but I just felt a calm and a peace that I don't know, had to be coming from the woman above

"I felt really confident…I felt like a kid. It was just fun out here. This is something as a kid you always dream about…to be in the NBA Finals

"All day…weird feeling. I felt like a kid getting ready to play in my Saturday and Sunday AAU games

"In a way I felt like I was seeing her in the stands

"It was really fun. It was really comforting

"Game 1 of the NBA Finals you're told how the pressure's gonna be…

"I don't know, it felt like a certain presence was here that was very comforting and very loving and I felt like I could have fun out here––in Game 1 of the NBA Finals…"

Shaq: Yes. Rest in peace to your beautiful mother"

Good reminder that the argument for LeBron is that he’s better in every statistical measure and was completely dominant for twice as many seasons. The argument for Jordan is that his team managed to lose before the Finals every time they weren’t going to win. Riveting debate!

Wemby is our generations Lafayette. In a time of great need, a French teenager/ young adult came to America and helped lead his new adopted country to victory against tyranny (foul baiting unethical OKC bullshit)

[Governor Newsom Press Office (parody) @AwesomeNewsom]

American soldiers die in Trump's war, not a word from Donald. Gas and food prices skyrocket, not a word from Donald. People demand the Epstein files, not a word from Donald. But the minute you take his fat name off a building, Donald writes Mein Kampf for Morons.

I’ve done this drive maybe 20 times, and used to think this very thing. Around the 6th time I was driving north of Oakley Kansas and saw the setting of the sun against the rising of the moon at dusk and was overwhelmed by the beauty. I thought of this line from Blood Meridian (of all things):

“The jagged mountains were pure blue in the dawn and everywhere birds twittered and the sun when it rose caught the moon in the west so that they lay opposed to each other across the earth, the sun whitehot and the moon a pale replica, as if they were the ends of a common bore beyond whose terminal burned worlds past all reckoning”

I’ve since come to realize that there is not a speck of dust on this earth that is not glorious and beautiful, and that all things denote there is a God in heaven.

At his most obese Luka never looked this mid in a playoff run..because he’s just better at basketball than the back to back MVP whether y’all like it or not.

Mitt Romney to Harvard Business School graduates: "There's more to a country than its economy. To be a great nation, it must also be a good nation. The world needs good men. It needs good women. Good leaders. Good parents raising good children. There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people."

The last "modern" game I ever played was World of Warcraft, from 2004 to 2010, the end of Wrath of the Lich King.

I know there were MMORPGs before (and after), but when the original World of Warcraft launched in 2004, it felt closer to "perfection" than any game before or since.

Nothing has changed that feeling to this day. What changed was the game itself after the death of Arthas in Wrath of the Lich King.

The original WoW felt so vast, so open, and so alive - it’s hard to put into words. There was no hardcore min-maxing yet (at least not to the same degree as today), no speedruns, no parsing record chasing, no gear score requirements in the early days. If you were really pro, you connected with friends or guildies via Ventrilo.

There was no WeakAuras, no threat meters, no Questie guiding you.

You quickly learned that even the most expensive vendor gear was trash compared to quest rewards.

You had to walk from Elwynn Forest to the Redridge Mountains - and if you dared peek across the river into Duskwood, the spiders there would one-shot you (I’m sure we all did that).

The first time you equipped a green item! The first time you swapped it for a blue! And the envy of seeing someone with purple gear, omg!

Saving up for a mount and the catharsis when you could finally afford one!

The first time you entered the Deadmines, the foolish solo attempt on Hogger only to realize instantly it was a death sentence.

Stepping into Alterac Valley battlegrounds and being in awe of its size.

Wiping on Ragnaros again and again before finally killing him, and the sheer joy of celebrating together with your guild.

The excitement and awe of entering Naxxramas for the first time, struggling to down Patchwerk, the teamwork, the slow progress, seeing Sapphiron dead on the frozen ground and being moments away from Kel’Thuzad… so close!

It truly felt like a massive world - not just in size, but in stories. The announcement of The Burning Crusade and the Dark Portal appearing in the Blasted Lands; you couldn’t wait to walk through it.

Then the ultimate climax when Wrath of the Lich King launched, eventually facing the most badass character in gaming history: Arthas.

World of Warcraft was magic. Until it wasn’t. Just like Blizzard was once the greatest game studio of all - until they weren’t.

Warcraft used to be tough, glorious and epic... now it's pink Disney fluff.

Nothing has recaptured that feeling from 2004 to 2010. I wonder if anything ever will again.

I sometimes watch the trailer of the original WoW. It still hits close to the (gamer) heart…

Let’s be honest, OKC might be the most hated basketball team in most recent memory.

And its due to how they play.

No one hated GS this much - I think we were just sick of them winning so much.

But with OKC - it doesn’t feel like basketball. It feels like acting.
