Kevin Durant says he felt like he was going to an underdog team when he signed with the Warriors 😭💀

“They never been a winning organization, Nobody liked Golden State… I'm looking at the totality of the franchise, not what happened the last 5 years.”

I’ve seen people tie bandanas on dogs with more dignity than this

James Wood has not even been in MLB for 2 full years and has already faced the same amount of different pitchers as Ted Williams

@MNBrianHall Epic bad decision by me not to keep him. 😩

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

In a two-way race in 2024, Donald Trump got 26.5% of the vote in City of Los Angeles. In a three-way race in 2026, Spencer Pratt has 26.7% of the vote. I'm not sure what the mystery is that demands a conspiratorial explanation.

A major new study published today by a panel of Democrats and Republicans ranks states by quality of life. The states at the top aren't the richest, and they don't have the highest tax rates -- although they do seem to do an unusually good job executing policy and sharing the wealth that they create. Often they have opposition parties strong enough to keep ruling parties nervous and effective.

To see which state ranks No. 1 and how your state ranks (slight tease!), here's a gift link: https://t.co/JfjLMfcGDk

These are some of the best highlights I’ve ever seen, male or woman.

Olivia Miles is a pure hooper.

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

The last time the Knicks had a lead in the NBA Finals was June 17th, 1994.

Yes, the same day as this:

Some guy named Nick Bilton serving an audience of 1 (Bari) service an audience of 1 (Ellison) serving an audience of 1 (Trump). This is how oligarch-authoritarian takeover of media happens

I try to find a next-morning Olivia Miles highlight montage from any Lynx game I'm not able to watch live.

I'm almost always giggling and shaking my head within 30 seconds.

Your risk of having a drunk ginger fall on you at a Morgan Wallen concert is low, but never zero. 😭

This has quietly been a miracle month in medicine.

In the last 5 weeks we’ve got news on:

- retatrutide, the triple agonist GLP-1 from Lilly, basically melting fat and body-wide inflammation at record levels
- RevMed’s new pancreatic cancer drug showing unprecedented abilities to extend life
- small trial of a one-and-done PCSK9 gene editing therapy for slashing LDL cholesterol
- Mayo’s AI-assisted radiology showing vastly improved cancer detection
- this new therapy for metastatic solid tumors

This stuff is at varying levels of evidence. Retatrutide is ~100% on its way, other stuff needs more clinical trial data. But put it together and we’re maybe on the verge of majorly reducing the mortality of heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death in America.

Between stock trading by federal officials, insider trading in prediction markets, fixed sporting events, and suspicious moves in energy, integrity in markets feels lower today than at any point in the modern era.

[McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins]

Rhetoric like this used to be so common, especially from Republican leaders, that many people would roll their eyes or tune it out. It was like the white noise of conservative politics. Now it's so unfashionable that it feels almost bracing.

NEW: The Pentagon is moving to recruit hundreds of troops to appear as spectators at President Donald Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event at the White House, and requiring those who attend to pay their own way and meet height and weight requirements.
