There are people who will tell you that facts have alternates that are just as true. Don’t listen to these people. Numbers never lie.

Just said to someone “Jaden McDaniels is my top draft pick for sociopaths in the NBA.” His dead-ass eyes remind me of Emperor Palpatine.
Jaden McDaniels, deadpan delivery, on what worked for the Timberwolves offensively.

Jaden: “Go at Jokic, Jamal, all the bad defenders. Tim Hardaway, Cam Johnson, Aaron Gordon, their whole team.”

Q: They’re all bad defenders?

Jaden: “Yeah, they’re all bad defenders.”

If the past couple games have taught us anything about Luka it’s that there’s a lot more Ron Artest to his game than we thought. He’s yelling at someone after almost every made bucket. #nba

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

My best pics since Saturday. Every day feels like one of those intense Indies where you don’t know if it’ll be good enough to tell your friends and you’re also like, “I don’t care. This is my favorite movie of the year.” #corkscrew #switchback #edgeline

You’re the Detroit Pistons. What do you do with Malik Beasley?

It was weird watching the kabuki theater of everyone on the Heat pretending nothing was strange about the Terry Rozier situation. But Detroit is finding out about the investigation while Beasley’s a free agent. Your move. #nba #nbasky

Fun to hear a new (to me!) NBA writer’s voice. The Bulls not getting a first for Caruso remains an unpardonable sin. Same for the Lakers letting him walk when he would’ve taken half what the Bulls offered. Learned a lot more about Okoro here, too:

It's not just the wallet ad, @gruber.foo, I've noticed little upsell ads all over the iOS ecosystem. Whenever someone texts me a link to Apple Music (I use Spotify), there's a little line "Subscribe to Apple Music" line under the message.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van?

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THIS IS NOT AMERICA.
