price was a bad man
"He KILLIN' YOU!" Isiah Thomas and Tim Hardaway share stories on how much of a nightmare it was to guard Mark Price, who is commonly disrespected by new age hoops-illiterates because he's white. Price had Zeke crashin out on his whole team like "help me or STFU!" 😂😂

You fucking insane, racist, historically illiterate people have no idea what you’re talking about. Everything you’re saying about Indians was said about the Irish, Italians, SE Europeans. Read a bit about ethnic churches, ethnic language newspapers, organizations, etc.

The stupidity and rancor of the right wing meltdown over keeping the same rules on citizenship we've had for 160 years is surprising even to me

Over the line.
You can keep the line where it is, make it 10 cm, have daylight, or make it a mile. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A LINE where it's either offside or not. When it's close people will complain about it. Moving the goalposts is not a solution. Just means we complain about a different spot.

First the came for the immigrants and Mike Lee cheered them on. Then they came for the Americans who stood up for them, and Mike Lee cheered them on. Then they came for the Mormons and Mike Lee freaked out.

Shouldn’t say it, but I’m actually getting kind of excited about watching the #USMNT at the World Cup.

Man, it is going to be interesting as hell to watch how Slot tries to make all of this fit together. (Also, potentially infuriating as hell) #LFC

The emphasis should be on unionizing service work to raise wages and expanding social benefits.

Fuck you, El*n.
I've seen enough: Susan Crawford defeats Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, preserving liberals' 4-3 majority.

Chance to go to China this summer. Looking for recommendations for: 1. Fiction set in 20th/21stcentury. (English language or w/English translation) 2. Good non-fiction overviews of that period or different eras within it. Preferably not too down-in-the-weeds academic(y). TIA

If we had access to group chats every single Republican staffer and media person would be revealed to be unemployable, they are like "Da N-word zone"
I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity. He just resigned. wsj.com/tech/doge-staffer-re…

This is the best thing I've read that tries to explain their reactionary turn.

Two things are true: 1) Cartels wield too much influence over the Mexican government (and some Mexican state governments) 2) The real source of cartel power is American drug addicts who fund them and American weapons that arm them
It's probably helpful to understand that Mexico views the drug trade issue and related bizarre levels of violence as being a plague visited upon them because their northern neighbor is full of drug addicts with way too much money.

It was always obvious that while standardized tests aren't perfect, they are far better at offering disadvantaged but bright students a chance than just soliciting essay responses that cite time to start a non-profit - an activity that poorer kids don't have a chance to do.

Can someone explain to me why the NFL would supposedly have a pro-small market team bias? #AFCChampionship
