It's been an absolute pleasure coaching the twisted guys throughout this year. Unfortunately, some things have come up that are preventing me from attending the World Championship.
With the end of the season coming up, my time with @TwisMinds also abruptly comes to an end.
I'm truly grateful for the opportunity, given that I only speak English, and I've learned a lot this year, as it was my first time venturing outside of North America. Special thanks to @xAmmarr_@rl_msh@AbdullahTwq for making me feel at home on the team; this project wouldn't have been the same without you guys.
Obviously I want to thank the players @Trk511__@Nwporl_@M0nkeyM00n for the hard work, dedication and trust this year. It was a rollercoaster of a year with many ups and downs, but you guys made it an enjoyable experience.
@Trk511__ You've been such a pleasure to work with. When you're on your game and hype, you're unstoppable.
@Nwporl_ I'll be surprised if one day you are not regarded as the best player in the world. You've improved so much this year.
@M0nkeyM00n I've seen with my own eyes why you are the GOAT. I've never seen someone more dedicated to their craft and passionate about winning, especially since you've already done it all.
To the fans, all I can say is thanks. Honestly, MENA has the most involved fan base, and it's been fun.
As for world preparations, I'm leaving the rest in the hands of @rlsenzo . I know full well that he is capable and deserving of leading this team to victory. I will be watching and cheering from the sidelines as you guys lift that trophy, inshallah.
Dwyane Wade tells Rajon Rondo his POV on the moment he dislocated his elbow 👀
“We didn’t have the best relationship… what I felt my POV is, you grabbed me, and so I was like, ‘oh, this n**** tryna—. Okay, so he grabbed me, and I’m off balanced, and so I’m like oh shit, I’m gonna lock him up too as he grabbed me and now we off balanced and I’m like, well sh*t, we both falling.”
This weekend, Jiayi Zheng was killed by a speeding vehicle on 3rd Ave in Sunset Park. My office is aware of an ongoing investigation into this incident, and my thoughts are with the victims family.
Tragedies on this stretch of 3rd Ave are all too common, which is exactly why I have been calling for the @NYC_DOT to redesign this corridor to protect pedestrians and cyclists. The city must act now to prevent further loss of life.

Kenny Smith says Mark Jackson saved Steph Curry’s career, the Warriors and the NBA:
“Steph Curry, before he got there, did not play in the fourth quarters of games. They used to play Monta Ellis, and they would say Steph could not play in the fourth quarters because defensively he could not handle that… He was going to be traded until Mark Jackson got there. He saved not only the franchise, he saved the league. You think of Steph Curry, he saved basketball by making this dude what he is and allowing him to be who he was. He saved basketball and changed the culture of the way we play today based on the way Steph plays… Someone had to have the vision to allow that to happen. He was the vision.”

This was an idea to allow players the ability to capture screenshots and video without UI. Was cut last minute, I can’t remember who made the call or why. An unfun person for sure. Too bad :(
Chamath: “If you see the 30 year at 6%, it is the beginning of a death spiral.”
@chamath:
“We are supposed to be in the middle of an enormous financial build-out to support AI.
And if you go all the way back, like 100 years, the Industrial Revolution, the Grand Bargain, all of this stuff, the United States government was the balance sheet. They are the ones that were able to step in.
And unfortunately, because of its financial situation, the US government is not able to do that.
That's why, thank God, we have companies like Nvidia, and Google, and Microsoft, and Meta, and Amazon who take on that burden.
There's so much chirping, by the way, on the internet about the balance sheet of Nvidia and blah, blah, blah, and I think people completely miss that these guys are putting the entire US economy on their back.”
