I honestly can’t decide what’s more humiliating:
that a billionaire is buying $145 shoes for top American officials,
that powerful men in the White House are apparently expected to wear them with gratitude,
or that this is now a news story about the leadership of the most powerful country on Earth.
Oh it’s real
Ok buddy
Not gonna add to the pile-on (nor will I read the story lol) but I sure as hell don’t remember anyone saying Kobe should’ve stopped at 78 or 73.
Ball got tired, he just wanted to let it rest in his hand for a little while
Yeah, it's no good
Fun highlight. Unrelated, every once in a while I go crotchety boomer on the modern NBA, and the pause and carry at :03 really did the trick for me tonight.

The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.
After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”
And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.

I love their Everton fandom so much… just wish I could get more j to their music
The general approval rating of Draft Kings and Fan Duel among normal people is probably pretty negative, but in a sort of obvious way. Some of us participate in it. Almost all of us find its ubiquity in sports annoying. Most nof us see it as a net negative but just accepting that fact is enough to sort of not investigate any further, the way people can kind of say "politicians are corrupt" and then not follow their local races or propositions.

Former NFL linebacker Darron Lee appeared in court on Monday for a preliminary hearing on charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. And the case against him includes some unusual, and particularly incriminating, evidence. Via Local 3 News, the prosecution offered testimony indicating that Lee had consulted ChatGPT on how to deal with a person who is unresponsive. The message came from Lee’s phone. Lee also asked ChatGPT about the injuries that would be consistent with someone falling in the shower. Body camera footage showed Lee telling a police officer that the victim, 29-year-old Gabriella Perpetuo, may have slipped and fallen in the shower but that Lee didn’t know what had happened to her. The police report in the case indicates that blood was found through the house, along with broken glass. Authorities also said that Perpetuo had “multiple stab wounds, black eyes, bite marks, and blood coming from her nose and mouth.”
Horrible story, and obviously pre-generative AI someone could've just googled this ... but yeah
