Nike CEO Elliott Hill said the company will reduce the volume and frequency of Jordan releases
Nike says it has oversupplied its iconic retros and wants to bring back scarcity—making releases feel more exclusive again.
Victor Wembanyama was asked if he would ever sign a deal with a sports betting company: “Absolutely not. Honestly, I think it’s very sad to see some players promote it.”
30 years of Super Mario 64 and I genuinely don’t think people who weren’t there can understand just how magical this game felt.
Walking into Peach’s Castle for the first time. Hearing the music. Running down those hallways, finding a painting, and realizing you could literally JUMP INTO IT and enter an entirely different world.
Every door was a mystery. Every painting was a new adventure. Every star felt like you’d discovered something nobody else had.
The first time you flew with the Wing Cap. Racing that stupid penguin down the slide. Swimming through Dire, Dire Docks. Running around Bobomb Battlefield with absolutely no idea what you were supposed to be doing, but somehow having the time of your life.
And the music. God, the music.
There was no YouTube tutorial telling you where to go. No internet spoiling every secret before you found it. Just you, your N64, and an entire new game to be explored.
I think what makes me emotional looking back is realizing we weren’t just experiencing one of the greatest leaps in gaming history. We were experiencing a kind of childhood wonder you can never quite get back. Those mornings sitting on the floor in front of the TV, completely lost in a world that felt so big.
I can still hear the castle music and immediately feel like a kid again.
I say this with the utmost seriousness as a scholar of international political economy: the rules-based international order is dead.
At the UN General Assembly, Trump, in very casual language, talks about annihilating another country. The room stays quiet. No collective protest. No formal objection.
And this goes far beyond rhetoric.
The US *has* bombed Iran, in clear violation of international law.
The US *has* kidnapped Venezuela's head of state and is in the process of looting the country's natural resources, in clear violation of international law.
The US *has* tightened its blockade on Cuba, in clear violation of international law.
Then there is, of course, the genocide in Gaza, for which the US has provided unconditional support.
After World War II, the US was one of the primary architects of a system meant to encourage global cooperation. But the US has consistently broken that system's rules to advance its imperial interests.
The system has therefore lost all its legitimacy.
genuinely one of the funniest things i’ve seen from a celebrity in awhile i can’t believe it i know everyone thinks silence = violence but there’s simply no way silence is more violently offensive than this lmao
Adam Silver answers Pablo Torre's question regarding the growing concern that wealthy individuals and entities are using the approval of the NBA to purchase credibility in the eyes of the public (meaning, fans), and whether he plans on changing anything about the due diligence process because of recent events (Mark Walter and Steve Ballmer).
At the end of the day we’re all just energy and we attract the energy we give our attention to.
A lot of people feed their energy to pointless shit and in return get very little out of this short life.
Trump announced yesterday that he is going to give out $5,000 stimulus checks.
The more money he hands out, the higher bitcoin, gold, and land will go.
