First of all, it's YYZed... And second of all - no, I can't get it. It's impossible. Neil Peart stands alone.

The "veteran" on the Spurs shot 3/15 last night.
“This league needs to go back to leaning on veterans. … Towards the end you watched the Spurs struggle.”
@imanshumpert on the role the Knicks’ veteran leadership played in the Finals.

I know it's 4-1 and Curacao might get hammered for 7 or 8 at this stage, but Curacao are going for it and being more ambitious than most underdogs at these international tournaments.

Their media (and maybe even ours) has primed them to think American food is processed cubes of unidentifiable meat, so the expectations couldn't be lower.
My favorite subplot of the soccer tourists going nuts over the food, is that they are mostly going to the fast food spots and big chains.
Which fine, but not exactly the top of the US culinary experience.
But they seem to be blown away by it for whatever reason.

If you’re a Sacramento fan spending your energy being mad at Fox, you have misdirected anger. He’s not the cause of your current issues.
My favorite part is that he tanked his trade value here in Sac and bitched about "stability", only to shit the bed and become public enemy # 1 in San Antonio . But maybe the favorite part is that his contract is now worse than LaVines

Better coach AND better resume than Doc yet he got scapegoated by every team he ever coached for some reason
Mike Brown resume:
— 2x Coach of the Year
— 7 Finals appearances
— 4 titles as assistant coach
— 1 title as head coach
— Got Kings to the Playoffs
Hall of Famer.

Wemby isn’t on the level of Jokic, Giannis and SGA. Brunson, as great as he was last night, is also just a tier below those guys.
I've seen a few people claiming Victor Wembanyama is the best player in the world in the wake of the Finals (I suppose that boosts a Knicks championship that doesn't need any boosting), but I don't know how you emerge from that series with that take. Top 3 or 4, sure. But best?
Wemby showed way too many weaknesses on offense (the more important half of basketball) to own that distinction.

What’s funny is every season people come on Twitter and talk about how pathetic the Eastern Conference is: that the Western teams always dominate. And yet, even before these new CBA rules, the Eastern teams were still winning championships.
The yellow line marks the first full season under the new CBA
I need yall to stop blaming EVERYTHING that happens in the NBA on the new CBA.
"Parity" started long before the current CBA was even ratified!
Clearly this trend is driven by factors predating aprons & new CBA rules.

John Kiriakou is the perfect hire for Russian state media (or any nation with a vested interest in demoralizing the United States through targeted internal propaganda).
Here’s why:
1. He has the credential of “former CIA officer” under his belt. That means something to American viewers. Military or government service, in general, goes a long way toward establishing legitimacy and trust.
2. He clearly has a long-standing grudge against the United States. He was charged with leaking the identity of a covert operative and was imprisoned for several years. He also lost his standing within the American political establishment as a result. The story he tells about the case is one in which he is, of course, the Snowden-adjacent hero. Again, this strikes at the heart of disgruntled Americans who have firsthand experience with government corruption.
3. He lacks principle. He’s willing to accuse the U.S. government of corruption (hey, fair enough) while, ironically, happily accepting paychecks from the Russian government, one of the most corrupt governments in modern history and a sworn adversary of the United States. He rails against the U.S. and its alleged covert torture program (and he may be right about that, for argument’s sake), yet aligns himself with a regime that has openly and brutally tortured innocent people for generations.
His excuse? They let him “say whatever he wants.”
Either John is an idiot (he’s not), or he’s in on the operation.
There’s only one reason the Russian government would hire him: to convince Americans to hate America. And what better salesman for that cause than a disgruntled former government agent with no sense of honor?
This is precisely why Russian state media has also cozied up to figures like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Whether these influencers are selling out for clicks, money, ideology, or something in between, the end result is the same: convincing millions of Americans that the only solution left is to abandon America and burn it to the ground.
Who, I wonder, might benefit from such an outcome?

"Fuck the American government."
That's John Kiriakou — a former CIA officer who pled guilty to leaking the identity of a covert operative, now drawing a paycheck from Putin as a host for RT.
Tucker and half the podcast circuit keep booking him. The op is not hard to see

Look, I’ll save you the headache.
Kiriakou was known for two things *before* he unmasked an undercover CIA officer, went to prison for doing so, got out, and then went to work for the Russians.
When he was stationed in Greece, he illegally parked his car at the port in Piraeus next to the ferry boarding area. The police told him to move it. Kiriakou locked himself inside and refused to get out of his car and said he didn’t have to, he was from the U.S. Embassy. Caused an unnecessary diplomatic stink over a fucking parking violation, which became notorious in the building — although not nearly as notorious as what else happened to him in Greece.
His wife had an affair. When Kiriakou found out about it, he behaved in a manner unbefitting of any officer of any clandestine service, except maybe Russia’s, which is why he’s a good fit for them now. As he’ll be the first to tell you, he’s got bills to pay.
Big on the IRGC-aligned podcast bro circuit but knows nothing, is aggressive in his ignorance, and generally held to be a laughingstock at his former organization. I believe the kiddos call this being a “whistleblower,” which is even more hilarious.
Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

So what Gabbard did was to misrepresent classified documents to defraud the public for the benefit of a hostile foreign power that is helping kill U.S. troops and Ukrainian children.
Jun 13
Tulsi Gabbard’s office is rebranding publicly available documents as “declassified evidence” to support a bioweapons narrative that the slides explicitly don’t support. They were already public, ODNI just re-stamped them as “declassified.” They’re NOT evidence of bioweapons either.
These are the SAME as the 2022 Pentagon documents and the slides are literally excerpts from the 2022 DTRA fact sheet, released publicly by the Pentagon in March 2022, 19 months before Gabbard called them “declassified.”
