Bam Adebayo Breaks The Concept Of Basketball, Scores 83 Points On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero. And yet there is no timeline long enough that could have prepared me for Bam Adebayo scoring 83 points in an honest-to-goodness...

They should still do this but as punishment for not turning in assignments. Forcing them to watch Pitt/Stanford and Syracuse/SMU will motivate them to study.

Some background: I bought this in 2004-2005 from a thrift shop in Matewan, West Virginia (a buddy of mine and I went down there to watch a reenactment of a shootout that was later depicted in a John Sayles movie) www.nps.gov/articles/000...

Wondering if you all could help me solve a very low-stakes mystery: What, exactly, is this? 🧵

Here's how much Summerfield developer has donated to NC Senator Phil Berger's campaign Part of the donations came as a bill worked through the Senate to allow the development project - the Villages of Summerfield Farms - to move forward.

The latest maps cut Summerfield out of Berger's district, which is probably good for him since he was the one who helped de-annex ~1,000 acres from that town for a new development. Many people there were not fans of that! www.wfmynews2.com/article/news...

Basically Phil Berger did better with the voters in his district who were the furthest from Rockingham County, where he lives.

Beverly Hills Cop screengrab: They're not just regular cops, ok? They're supercops.

tl;dr officers when they say they can smell the difference between hemp and marijuana

The gist is that legal hemp and illegal marijuana look & smell exactly the same and you can't tell them apart unless you 1.) smoke it or 2.) get it tested in a lab using equipment that NC cops don't have. But police often SAY they can tell the difference & use it as a pretense to make arrests anyway

This lawyer dangled a baggie of cannabis in front of the NC Supreme Court and dared the cops to arrest him A story about the smell of weed, the state of pot in North Carolina, and why so many products somehow are able to hint that they'll get you high, legally.

The North Carolina Supreme Court heard a case about weed smell last September! The attorney held up a baggie of cannabis in front of the justices and dared the cops in the room to arrest him! SPOILER: They did not arrest him www.ncrabbithole.com/p/lawyer-hol...
