1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers. This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.

Ross Douthat asks the President how his net worth rose by nearly $3 billion, according to a Forbes estimate, since he returned to office. Watch the interview Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on 60 Minutes.

The fact that LaMelo and Kuminga have similar stories (drafted in the wrong era/organisation, white media and white/asian/coon fanbase hating on him/running smear campaigns, mismanage talent) is gonna make their Timberwolves success story much sweeter.

Losing player. Unserious, unreliable doesn’t impact winning at all. Let’s just ignore the proven track record of him making his team’s offense 10 points better on the floor than off. No, it was all his fault that those Charlotte teams lost. Look how good Charlotte is without him!

Happy to see Steph Curry get off against Orlando. He's a fucking maniac. Not happy that it required a Curry supernova 41 point explosion to beat a 2-win Magic team in overtime. Not huge yet... But keeping an eye on how hard they have to work to beat bad teams going forward.

I cannot believe we’re about to pretend that the biggest midterm victory since the Great Depression and the fact that the whole Democratic Party started speaking like Bernie Sanders and Mamdani are unrelated

General note. Don't watch the ball if you want to get smarter about basketball.

It's a lot of fun to just watch Jonathan Kuminga instead of the ball Does so many little things on both ends of the floor to create extra shots on offense and stops on defense.

Facts. Finch literally told JK they love his 3 point shot and to let it fly before the Houston game. Kerr always had JK looking over his shoulder after each shot, EVEN WHEN SUCCESSFULLY SCORING.

I wonder when did Kerr tell JK I trust you offensively!? How finch build more trust in a training camp , preseason and 8 games than Kerr did in 5 yrs ..

Not only WOULD HE. But HE DID. Several runs of JK doing everything he knew Kerr wanted, only to still be yanked and not told why until he heard something from the media.

The truth is Kuminga would've done anything Kerr asked as long as he was given consistent minutes/role which meant an opportunity to grow and elevate his game. Kerr couldn't even commit to keeping JK in the rotation. It's that simple.

Every year people underestimate the value of linemen in the offseason, then every year linemen remind us how incredibly important they are in the postseason. Lions absolutely CONTROLLING the LOS, and of course, the game.

Mehdi’s style of confrontational interviews, in which he doesn’t let public figures get away with lies or half true talking points, turned him into a celebrated journalist in the UK before he moved here to try that out here. His show’s cancellation is such a pathetic indictment of the U.S. media

Mehdi is one of the most brilliant and most prominent Muslim journalists in the U.S. It is deeply troubling that MSNBC is cancelling his show amid a rampant rise of anti-Muslim bigotry and suppression of Muslim voices. Anyone who cares about free expression should be concerned.

Separate to the injustice & illegality of it, there is a fundamental racism to suggesting Gazans just up & move to Egypt & other Arab countries. Folks, Arabs aren’t all the same. No one asked Northern Irish Catholics to just relocate to France because they’re all white Europeans.

Palestinian leadership has once again made a decision that will IN NO WAY improve the lives of their people. There is NO POSITIVE outcome for them here (except to personally bolster their chances to stay in power). They have hurt their cause(s) and increased the suffering in Gaza

Governor @GavinNewsom's veto of #SB799 is a dismissal of the working people that have supported him. For 148 days, members of the WGA struck against companies who intended to drive writers into financial ruin. 1/2

I guess it’s fine to not gratuitously dunk on a lawmaker when they die, but I also dont really get liberals’ impulse to aggressively deify a blue-state senator who helped Bush facilitate the Iraq War, opposed regulating big banks & scoffed at kids worried about climate apocalypse
