Florida just banned everything I teach at the university level. If legislators bothered to take my class, they’d learn that backlash events like this always coincide with white supremacist vigilante & state violence. Then again, they may already know.

Never going to hear the end of this one from Philly fans if the 76ers lose today.

An interesting dynamic approaching Celtics-Sixers Game 7, per sources: NBA’s officiating game report shared with teams from Game 6 revealed a significant disparity: 13 officiating errors disadvantaging 76ers to four disadvantaging Boston. Those can include calls and non calls.
Letting Big Oil handpick judges effectively permits polluters to BUY rulings. That’s not democracy; it’s oligarchy.

Win or lose this game, Marcus Smart has been absolutely tremendous for Boston. He's the reason the Celtics have a chance to get out of here with a win.

I’m not even remotely interested in whatever lame excuses the Celtics have after this game tonight.

Hey Apple: no more eps of your hit show about workers using collective action to fight back against an exploitative tech company until you give your real-life workers a fair deal.
THANK YOU to the Teamsters and IATSE crew who honored our picket line!

WHY HAVE A TV WRITER ON SET?
Since they already wrote the script (and rewrote it 8 times, and tweaked it after the table read)?
Glad you asked, here's a thread.

I just saw this on the email blast, but a reminder to make sure you TURN OFF the download option on your accounts so that no rep, producer, etc. can download your scripts while the WGA is on strike!Show this thread

This is true. Here's Conan spinning his wedding ring during the 2007 writers' strike just to fill airtime. It was like this for months.
NBC was lucky that Conan is the GOAT, but it's impossible to explain to Gen Z how bad the content will get if there's another one. twitter.com/aklingus/statu…

After winning MVP last night, during a quick 76ers celebration, Joel Embiid turned to the team and said: “I’m back.”
Embiid is indeed on track to return tonight in Game 2 vs. Celtics barring setbacks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

I think this is a pretty outstanding answer to that question given the emotions that Giannis surely has right now. Think it's crazy how good Giannis is at keeping things in perspective in terms of his life. Just a fascinating snippet of how he perceives things in a tough moment.
