[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

Definitely not a cult

[Rebekah Jones @GeoRebekah]

Trump isn't on the list anymore because he was already arrested and convicted of felony fraud. 34 counts of it, I believe.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

For those unaware, the White House is making a reference to the neo-Nazi “White Boy Summer.” The glasses—including the color references—refer to Baked Alaska aka Tim Gionet. This style was adopted by Nick Fuentes’ groypers and the alt-right.

Has a gay person ever knocked on your door to convert you? Because Christians do it all the fucking time you hypocritical dipshit

@Jerry_DurhamPT Just about everything that happens in a classroom is political

[Jerry Durham @Jerry_DurhamPT]

THE PARTY OF PEDOPHILES and SCHOOL SHOOTINGS...

wants to "PUT OUR CHILDREN FIRST"

shut up!!!!

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

Not one comment is about how "this movie glorifies stealing" like the rightwingers said when coming after I Love Boosters

Its cuz there's been yrs of hysteria built around shoplifting, framed around black & brown folks as a way 2 scapegoat them capitalism's necessitated poverty

JFC...NO ONE is a Steph Curry shooter.
Steph is 1 of 1
"Can never trust player on player evaluation" @AndyKHLiu is a prophet

[NBA Courtside @NBA__Courtside]

James Worthy says he’s never seen a young player like Wemby:

“He’s a Steph Curry shooter with Kobe Bryant agility and has Wilt Chamberlain and you know Nate Thurman ferocity. He’s just an amazing guy and he’s young, he’s verbal, he’s leading. I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like him.”

(Via @RoadTrippinShow)

The Spurs have a De'Aaron Fox problem.
He's probably not 100% healthy, but trading him to get another shooter (hello Trey Murphy) would make the Spurs better

[Brendan Gill @scribeteach]

More than once in the episode, Coach Silas talked about the importance of the "people" he works with (both players & staff), not necessarily the Xs & Os.
Installing a quick hitter is easy. Building trust, a common language & cohesion is much harder

[Chris Oliver @BBallImmersion]

So many practical insights

Steven Silas shares the kind of coaching insight that helps you think more clearly about preparation, culture, and role definition.

It's why we do post season audits @AltamontXCTF
Then again... the way we've been doing things this year it's felt like 52 audits/year is more appropriate.

One of the reasons I had the Automatic Coaching Audit 2 years ago. It's 100x better with context and the LLMs out now.

Stunned that the Giants did not figure out a creative way to lose tonighit

After Barnes was slammed into his knee

[Fullcourtpass @Fullcourtpass]

Jalen Brunson went to the locker room after Harrison Barnes fell into his knee

[Michael Beseris @coachbeseris]

@TheNewAthlete @scribeteach The problem lies in the fact that most *think* they are, when in reality they are detraining it and further more aren’t willing to accept additional help, or at the minimum think critically and accept new information or a different way

“this is the way we’ve always done it”

[Brendan Gill @scribeteach]

This is beyond accurate.

The real test is: does a coach actively interrogate their program? "Is there a better way?"
It's the coach that doesn't stop learning that asks that question

@gggiants Just as the Warriors are forbidden from making trades, Vitello isn't allowed to move Eldridge up in the order

[Brendan Gill @scribeteach]

@TheNewAthlete 100% agreed!

[Brendan Gill @scribeteach]

Are sport coaches (not T&F) even trying to get their players faster in the first place?

[Ryan Paul @TheNewAthlete]

Athletes will lose 8-12% of their speed over the course of a season. That is a massive decline. Unless you train speed during the season. The choice is yours

[Brendan Gill @scribeteach]

The Roberts court is the most corrupt, must unethical in U.S. history

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

It seems there is an entirely different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats.
