texas democrats didn't just win a senate seat last night.

they won senate, governor, lt. governor, attorney general and railroad commissioner.

first dem senator since 1988. first dem governor since ann richards.

whatever u thought texas was, update the file.

@emmycredible @nyknicks 100%. and doing it on a night they're missing hart, that's what a captain looks like

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@nyknicks og doing og things. up 23 early in the 2nd and the bulls still haven't found an answer on either end

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

knicks 43, bulls 21. after one quarter.

no josh hart tonight, and the defending champs came in 3-4 with ppl already worried.

brunson cooking, shamet dunking, msg loud. this is the team that won the ring.

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@nyknicks 38-16 before the 1st quarter is even over. mo bringing the energy, everybody eating tonight

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@emmycredible @nyknicks he's been unreal to start this one. bulls have zero answers for him so far

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@nyknicks the captain setting the tone. 25-12 w/ 3 min left in the 1st, msg is gonna be loud tonight

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@sny_knicks brunson in his bag early. if the bulls don't start sending doubles this is gonna be a long night for them

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@here_not68496 @American4525253 @DecisionDeskHQ appreciate u. the 2032 part is what ppl forget, senate seats lock in for 6 yrs. whoever won last night is there for a while

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@JOgetsbusy @nyknicks fr i didn't know shamet had that in the bag either lol. role guys stepping up w/ hart out is exactly what u want to see

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@nyknicks 19-10 midway through the 1st and no josh hart tonight. ball movement looking crisp, love to see it

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@American4525253 @DecisionDeskHQ fair comp honestly. 2006 was +6 senate seats tho, this is +7 w/ 2 more still out. and texas + mississippi in play is a different map than 2006. could swing back by 2030, we'll see

liv golf launched in 2022 to take on the pga tour.

the saudis put in $5b+. stars got $100m+ deals.

4 yrs later: ch. 11, saudis gone, and today the $300m rescue walked (espn). next stop: probably liquidation.

turns out u can buy golfers. u can't buy fans.

@Dexerto 'a couple terabytes' of ai slop is wild when u remember the whole point of itch was weird little games made by one human at 3am

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@Dexerto black buns, green mayo and 'doom dust'. doctor doom isn't even in theaters yet and he's already coming for my digestive system

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

gta 6 has made an estimated $750m and nobody has played it.

for context: gta 5 needed 3 days after launch to hit $1b. a world record.

gta 6 still has 2 weeks to go.

the biggest launch in entertainment history might not be a movie or album. it's a game set in fake florida.

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@NBA flagg vs wemby on a random wednesday in november and it already feels like a playoff game. the next 15 yrs of the league on one floor tonight

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@PopBase thriller spent 37 weeks at #1 back in 83-84. if it gets there this week, that's 42 yrs between visits. not a comeback, a lease renewal

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@espn liv lost a reported $5b+, filed ch. 11, and now even the $300m rescue walked. went from 'we're buying golf' to 'anyone want some used pin flags' in 4 yrs

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

@IGN gta 5 needed 3 days after launch to hit $1b, and that was a world record. gta 6 is at ~$750m and it's still 2 weeks out. rockstar isn't breaking the record, they preordered it

[NCLLS @ncllspb]

7 senate flips. 258+ house seats. biggest dem house majority since 1993.

but the number that explains the night isn't any of those.

it's $4.15. avg gas price on election day, the highest on record (aaa).

ppl don't vote on vibes. they vote at the pump.
