She managed to open my mind to materialism as a valid response to marginalization and disrespect in the span of the 3 minutes
It is a privilege to not need status indicators in order to receive basic respect
Ridiculously eloquent and empathetic
This dude @righttimebomani is the very top tier of smartest people in our industry but our industry does not truly appreciate that because they are too consumed with loud and outrageous takes.
Kawhi Leonard might have the strongest “you really don’t know anything about this man” aura in sports.

Marvel canceled Blade, canceled Ironheart, canceled Wonder Man, and had Sam Wilson fighting for his life as Captain America…
me seeing Black Marvel fans show interest in #Lanterns:
Google doesn't care about accuracy. They promote misinformation and blame users for trusting it. Yes, people need to do more diligent research, but the world's top search engine should be able to snuff out bs like that immediately (it was able to 5 years ago)
Mina Kimes pointed it out, but this whole fake WR scam really exposes how far Google has fallen. The AI search result concluded that he is a legitimate 49ers player, citing his social media accounts as proof. Search engines are more exposed to manipulation than ever before
What I find fascinating is how the 10s shifted organic impressions into paid for ones. There’s such a machine around viral moments, conversations, and more surroding talent that the virality is now a hamster wheel of an organised production.
It’s so insidious how capitalism can and will touch every single thing
This might very be my single favorite cityscape of LA so I’ll share it by itself. Taken at 600mm from across the pacific in PV at golden hour with a clearing storm the conditions were immaculate. The extremely clear air and the fresh snow at lower elevations on the San Gabriels were extremely rare. This is the one photo that gets called out the most for being fake, being shopped and now being AI when in reality it’s using photographic lens compression to take advantage of maybe once in a lifetime conditions.
I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.
