Aye look Draymond is a psycho… and I’m typically NEVER on his side lol
But I get this one lol. Dude is a 6’7 center and he’s going to the hall of fame. He just gotta carry it like this
Draymond Green says him throwing down Maluach on the Suns HAD to happen to keep his respect as the anchor of the defense:
“As a big man and center in this league, if something like that happens, you lose your powers. I guy will try you over and over again. — That first play with Maluach, that’s happening. You must stand on that type of time as a big man because if you don’t, your paint will get ran through cause there’s no respect after that. So that play must happen. —- The one with Maluach, that’s has to happen. I’ll take that.”

DEMOCRATS WIN SENATE POPULAR VOTE ACROSS FORMER CONFEDERATE STATES
Democrats won the combined Senate popular vote across ten former Confederate states, securing 20,782,908 votes (53.74%) to Republicans' 17,888,197 (46.26%)—a margin of nearly 2.9 million votes.
The result is a major victory for Democrats in a region Republicans have dominated for decades. High Black voter turnout helped fuel the result, carrying particular historical significance in states where Black Americans were once denied the right to vote.
Democrats broke decades-long losing streaks in Texas and South Carolina. James Talarico became the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Texas since Lloyd Bentsen in 1988, while Annie Andrews delivered South Carolina's first Democratic Senate victory since 1998.

I cannot get over this single detail. The plane was less than 80 seconds from crashing, and to the bitter end, that female co-pilot called out the positioning/state of the aircraft. Less than 10 seconds before Mach 1 impact straight into the ground, she sends a ping to ATC that “the plane has left 10,000 feet” - this is genuinely insane.
When you factor in the imminent death that they knew they were facing, Nathalia Filgueiras behavior surpasses professionalism and merely sticking to her duties.
What we witnessed was a level of profound bravery, balls of steel, and an eternal commitment to her pilot duties in the aircraft. Learning that it was the 55 year old head pilot who made the decision to go into the storm makes this whole thing almost unbearable.
Situation brings me to tears. Hats off to that young woman.
My thinking on the Lear 60 crash begins with the elemental question of why that crew flew into that storm. That's why I think that it will eventually score as crew error.
Once they were in it, though, Nathalia Filgueiras' fidelity to her training was obvious to me. It sticks in mind that she kept calling out her jet's tail number, to the end. That sort of grip on one's own mind in a moment like that is the opposite of hysteria. She was deliberately and consciously trying to keep doing her job.
That is eminently honorable.

One of my favorite ways of putting climate change into perspective is using standard deviations. It’s too bad most folks don’t relate to it. Because, for people who understand this way of expressing likelihood, 7.22 sigma is otherworldly

This map is a better understanding of how the voter map looks. Instead of filling in empty land with red, it shows you the reality of who Republicans are. Those people hanging onto the fringes of America's great cities. They rely on the Urban areas they slander.

🚨Nathalia Gadelha's first instructor and mentor has posted a statement.
I write these words unequivocally…
I was one of Nathalia’s first instructors and mentor.
She was without a doubt the most naturally gifted pilot I have ever taught, and I have been teaching for 40 years!!
That young lady was born to fly!
There was not a check ride that the examiner was not blown away!
When she did her Lear type rating, she had less than 1100 hours and she absolutely aced the PIC type rating and the examiner thought she had about 5000 hours!
I gave her numerous opportunities to fly different airplanes to include tailwheel and the Caravan.
When I gave her her Spin Endorsement for her CFI, we did so many spins that I started to become nauseous! Truth!!
I am saddened, because so many of the pilots in training today never wanted to become pilots and only want to become airline pilots!
As I did check rides, I saw this time and time again!
They had no passion for flying.
They only wanted to get to the airlines to make the big money…
Nathalia was PASSIONATE about flying!!!
She was a 💯% natural born pilot!!!
I pray that she continues to fly amongst the clouds in heaven.
May she rest in peace and God watch over her. ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

The South is not a "lost cause". It's underorganized, underfunded, and relentlessly suppressed & gerrymandered. And despite it all, Black Southern voters have shown up anyway to be the conscience of this country throughout our history. I hope people realize that.

Alabama voter age data from last night featuring the swing from 2024.
The youth will reshape the state eventually, but boomers will cling to power with their dying breath. It is your job to relieve them of that power through organizing and showing up every single election.

How funny is this
The Bay Area..
the wealthiest part of California & top 3 wealthiest places in the whole US
Voted Yes to Prop 40
Even the billionaires were down to get taxed
But all the poor folk voted No lmfao
wtf wrong with yall man
Early results show Prop 40 leaning toward no, particularly across Eastern and Southern California, while a handful of coastal counties backed the billionaire’s tax.
