Jalen Brunson took the time postgame to honor Chicago's late Stacey King, who passed away in June. 🙏

This is a vile, disgraceful crime. What kind of person looks at the names of innocent people murdered on September 11 and decides to desecrate them?
These are the names of people who never came home. People who kissed their children goodbye, went to work, and had their lives stolen. Their families come here to mourn. To see those names defaced is sickening.
The 9/11 Memorial is sacred ground. Anyone who comes here must understand what this place means and treat it with the solemnity and respect it demands. Those names are not a canvas for anyone’s hatred.
“Never Forget” is a promise to the dead and a duty of the living. Not just on September 11. Every day. Every year. Forever.

Bobby Knight said Michael Jordan was the best basketball player he ever saw before he played in the NBA. This is his rookie season.
Favorite show in years.
Since its première, in 2022, “Slow Horses”—Apple TV’s fast-paced espionage drama about a division of MI5 where the screwups and sluggards end up—has become “a treasure to those in the know, and a nonentity to outsiders,” Inkoo Kang writes. The show, starring Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden, boasts nearly two dozen Emmy nominations, and a few wins, but has never reached the breakout status of “Ted Lasso” or “Severance.” Read why Kang thinks the underrated program is the best on Apple TV:newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Eo…

This seems bad
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

.@amyactonoh on Vivek Ramaswamy's abhorrent campaign ad:
"I won't normalize somebody who has said that my childhood is 'something I'm just complaining about,' who today, just released an ad using my birth mother, who I was removed from at the age of 12 for severe abuse and neglect and sexual abuse... The words our leaders use matter and I think it's gonna take courage right now from all of us to stop normalizing this sort of rhetoric."

Yes, Chris Bosh definitely got blood clots in 2015, effectively ending his NBA career, because he had gotten the Covid vaccine.
its totally normal for a 28 year old athlete to have blood clots, its definitely not from an untested vaccine that nearly everyone fell for during mass hysteria over a cold
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Chris Bosh was forced to retire from the NBA after developing blood clots at age 31.
Serena Williams was hospitalized in serious condition in 2011 and then again in 2017 before returning to play.
There is no evidence linking the covid-19 vaccine to these cases.

The Graham law was passed for a reason: to put pressure on Russia to end its war against Ukraine. We should be using every tool available to bring Putin to the negotiating table, not taking pressure off him. Peace requires leverage.

FOX rules analyst Mike Pereira told The Athletic that the ending of the BYU-Notre Dame game was “embarrassing for all officiating” and that Notre Dame should “get one more play.”
The Irish were at the center of two officiating controversies Saturday night: a potential missed defensive pass interference call and questions over whether one second should have remained on the clock after the final play.
