Anything that keeps him from commenting on sports or running for president is alright by me.

The NBA: We cannot allow our teams to celebrate vices, like our cities' premier strip clubs.

Also, the NBA: Brought to you by gambling companies DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and Fanatics Sportsbooks

It’s that time of the year when The Hollywood Reporter publishes their anonymous Oscar voter ballots and you’re reminded that many of those in the Academy are morons.

His 3pt shot has always looked remarkably fluid for how stilted he is in most areas of his game.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

I wish I could say Palace are back, but I think Spurs just don’t care about anything anymore.

Two photos. The first show JFK Jr. with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy walking their dog. The second shows JFK Jr. setting his bike against some pole.

Wrote something for @thetimes.com about why JFK Jr. is popular again. IMO, what you're admiring isn't just his handsome looks and style, but the fact that he lived in walkable urban neighborhoods and had enough time for exercise, hobbies, and a lover.

A good Lenten exercise for those of us who live in β€œpowerful” countries is to read the minor prophets.

It wasn’t a huge part of his speech but he did mention the voter suppression happening in Dallas and that every vote needed to be counted. But yeah, it was something thrown on at the beginning and the rest was a normal speech.

I wish I had known about your event. I read your book last year, and as someone who lives on that stretch of Candler you reported on your book read like a horror story that I can see being replayed every day before my eyes. A terrifying read, but essential.

Don’t worry, people of Iran, he has his eye on the ball…room.

That was the part that cracked me up. He’s just out by himself, chilling; pay no attention to the ten men surrounding him.
