In the summer Payton Pritchard pays for division 2/3 basketball players to travel to Cape Cod to defend him 1-on-1 in a high school gym with no air conditioning where it reaches up to 120 degrees inside, per @espn
If he shoots under 60% for a day they all “eat like kings” at Chipotle on Pritchard
When asked a why he’s a menace with his workouts
“I can’t wake up and be Wemby”

Jaylen Brown was reportedly the one who demanded a trade from Boston and was pushing for a move to Milwaukee, per @Scalabrine
“I think Jaylen Brown lives in his own reality. But because it wasn’t being documented that he demanded to be traded, then I don’t think that anybody, anybody thinks that, that he could—now, he could say that it was Tatum’s fault.
Like, he could just make stuff up. But my understanding is Jaylen Brown went to the organization and had a list of demands. And it was like, ‘You either do this or you trade me.’
And he was rooting to get traded to Milwaukee, including calling some other teammates about, ‘Hey, man, what do you think of Milwaukee? We should go there.’”

Barely listening to this BS but the degree to which Brown was “wronged” by the Celtics is how much he doesn’t want to be on a 6er super team that got LeBron after he got traded. He didn’t get shipped off to the Kings, man.
“It’s easy to take the high road when you’re the guy still on the team”

Been reading this. Will definitely be purchasing. It’s a line-for-line recreation of the novel, but the illustrations are so freaking scary.
NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: About a Place in the Kinki Region
The “found-footage” novel phenomenon, now in manga form!
After the editor of an occult magazine goes missing while researching the spooky stories surrounding a certain area in the Kinki Region, his friend sets out to follow his footsteps and discover what happened. In the scraps of the old articles, strange fan mail, and far-fetched forum posts he gathers, a disturbing narrative begins to emerge—something really is wrong about a place in the Kinki Region…
Many people have said a lot about You Can See Everything. Only I mention Rush Hour 3 in relation to it. paradoxnewsletter.com/p/issu…
The preference for readers opening books written by their own gender is not biological: it’s ideological.
It’s also contemporary and confined to the past decade or so. This preference is mistaken. The pleasures a text may offer have nothing to do with the author’s identity.
Thought experiments are important to consider as tools to help us orient ourselves in relation to our world and our principles. This is not a bad thought experiment. But its relationship to reality is very warped, as any thought experiment is. Gen AI should not synthesize drugs.
Someone get Brian Steel on this
Wisconsin woman pretends to be a school teacher just so she could call the kids fat and separate them by race.
23-year-old Amy Jones was reportedly "bored," so she walked into Rufus King High School and told staff she was a substitute.
The school believed her and assigned her to a class.
Jones then walked into the classroom and separated the kids by race.
She then singled out multiple students, calling one a future hooker, another fat, and said some of the students looked like they were the type of people who had incest.
Jones faces 20 years in prison. She says she did the stunt because she was bored and "hates kids and just wanted to mess around."
Diabolical.
KAT was asked if he felt like the Knicks should reward him with an extension after last season.
His response: “No sh*t Sherlock. I just won a championship. You’d think it was pretty easy. Unless you guys think I have something else to prove.”
