In 2020 I don’t wanna hear ANYTHING about avatar or any of its sequels. It’s just an alien version of Pocahontas and we paid $30 per ticket to see that shit.

Boomer cultural dominance is so bad that you can watch your own son drop 45 to win the NBA Finals and immediately start talking about some guy from the 90s

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

lebron and the cavs really came back down 3-1 in the nba finals against a team that went 73-9 man lmfao

We are about to enter a recession so brutal we’ll be back living in shacks beside train tracks like it’s 1929

Met a guy recently named Jonathan who goes by Nathan. I didn’t even know you could do that

[Barry @BarryOnHere]

Final 50 seconds of regulation:

LeBron makes layup & free throw to go up 2

Refs overturn a charge on KD that would've given CLE ball, KD makes 2 FT to tie

LeBron makes another layup to put CLE up 2

K-Love stupidly fouls Steph on an and-1 layup to give GS 1 point lead

George Hill bricks go-ahead FT

JR Smith dribbles clock out like a dumbass with a timeout left

If you want a sequence that perfectly captures LeBron's career, that's it.

Remember Ty Jerome’s postseason debut?

[Zachary @osuzack]

Imagine SGA leaving for the Spurs next year. Imagine how pathetic that would be.

Yeah, I’m not over it. Sue me.

his nickname got snatched too 😭

[ESPN Cleveland @ESPNCleveland]

“What a FKN team man,” - LeBron James just posted some throwback Cavs highlights on IG 😳😳😳😳

[Hater Report @HaterReport]

The Cleveland Cavaliers in the Conference Finals

[Carson Breber @Carsobi]

It’s over for this Cavs core. The Harden trade failed. Mitchell’s playmaking is unreliable. Their defense is unserious. Their habits as a team are appalling. Atkinson may be gone. Mitchell may demand out. This is an extremely embarrassing showing. Major change will follow.

[Novig @Novig]

Cavs since 7:52 in Game 1

[Spencer Davies @SpinDavies]

#Cavs fell in love with the three, despite being in the bonus early in the fourth and being up 20, clocked it like it was in the bag, and now, this is going to be a meltdown result for Game 1. Talk about pissing an opportunity away. Knicks up 9 in OT.

[nick wright @getnickwright]

There are bad losses.

There are awful losses.

There are catastrophic losses.

Then there’s what just happened to the Cavs.

They went from stealing home court to truly drawing absolutely dead in this series.

The Knicks could be -1000 for the series & it wouldn’t be enough.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Kenny Atkinson not calling any timeouts has absolutely cooked the Cavaliers. What is he doing?

[Tony Pesta @Tony_Pesta]

Just a total disaster from the Cavs. Up by 22 points with 7 minutes left

Can't believe they allowed Harden to defend Brunson that many times in a row. Can't believe they stopped running their offense to try burning the clock with way too much time left

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

The Cavaliers called a grand total of one timeout during that 30-8 run by the Knicks.
