Saw Bikeriders. Don’t think it totally worked as a movie but it 1000% works as a vessel for making Austin Butler look like the coolest man on earth

@Eunique_ny lol lemme get this straight… Flat earther bails on 3 playoff locker rooms in a row, refuses to get vaxxed during a pandemic, posts an antisemitic video w/ misinfo, refuses to apologize & later plays well for the Mavs in hopes of a payday. But we owe him bc he’s got handles?.

@trendyhoopstar No one is saying privledge got anyone in the league. Coming into this season before A’ja last minute Nike deal the 3 women with signature shoe deals were all white. Would you say the 3 best wnba players are white? That’s where it comes into play.

@crashoutking1 They’ve changed it the last 2 years . Games been growing and expanding, even before CC if you can believe that.

@CWilliamson44 Why? Seeding as is ensures the best teams are always in and properly seeded . East west is pretty arbitrary. Sometimes the best teams are on the same coast and I’d rather see them matchup in the finals than the second round . WNBA doesn’t need to be the NBA.

@Wankstablook This is it. No one seems to get that. Why are people excited about Steph Curry? . Because he fundamentally changed basketball and reimagined what someone could do. Plus, the WNBA is a sport with no dunks & less electrifying physical feats, so a deep three is especially exciting.

@jemelehill To everyone pointing out that she’s rebounding her own misses…. Through her first 18 games she rebounded her own miss 19 times (leads the league). That’s about 1 per game. So even if you discredit those, she’s still grabbing boards. Rodman comparisons feels a little rushed tho.

@obegraysr @Keeganbcall @CallMe_Kratos @getnickwright @frodeci @Stathead who was the MVP in those 3 finals? who was the leading scorer? Who had a better plus/minus? who did the team revolve around? . it wasn't Kobe. don't be lazy.

Here’s the rub… the plot is a pretty convoluted, the villain is underdeveloped and it doesn’t so much as end as much as it sets up the next installment. It’s not a perfect movie but it’s so visually spectacular it almost puts all other animated films on notice.

@CWilliamson44 Travel is overrated. They all charter. There’s not that many rounds or games. Keep the seeding. Look at the nba… stacked west that eats each other alive. Boston cruises with no challenge. That’s boring.

@ImNotChris06 Mostly it feels like the CC die-hard are pitting her against the league. And are aggrieved that she isn’t being worshiped enough. I say this as a dude who owns a Clark jersey and loves her game.

@Rosenbergradio Heard chef. the oner facilitates the storytelling and intensity of the entire episode. The story and characters all coming to a boiling point that is beautifully matched by the music, filmmaking and acting. This episode is an achievement. you don’t agree, I’m yelling at clouds.

@jemelehill i agree with that. and I also think the "getting her own rebounds to pad her stats" is not a good-faith or accurate argument. but I know you're used to those in your comments.

@Passionweiss Love this. why do you feel “people are more desperate for it than ever?”. Feels like so much creative work is being devalued bc theres so much of it. Millions of podcasts, so many shows & TikTok’s etc, no shortage of it. P.S I make content for a living at a big media company btw.

@hels Hi. I reported an episode for my travel series that examines Disney World as a cultural artifact. In it, I spoke with Bethanee Bemis, a museum specialist at the Smithsonian whose research looks heavily into a lot of this. not specifically adults tho.

Nailed it. Extremely gross of the NFL, the Browns organization and of course Watson whose had a lot of enablers and protection throughout this process.
"He is still a monster. This is an overwhelming amount of allegations. He should not be playing football.". We react to the latest Deshaun Watson allegation and lawsuit. WATCH:

@thechasesmith Right. People enjoy listening to podcasts. There is no technological disruption happening like with network television… we just can’t monetize very well? And listeners expect our product for free which makes us advertiser dependent.

@SheaSerrano Was really close between the 3. Thomas actually got the most 1st place votes. But Stewy changed the Liberty this season & personally handed A’ja half of the Aces losses.

@icedoutskulhedz @WNBA the delusion it takes someone to think the WNBA is out to get its biggest star and money-maker. but when you only see an entire league through the context of one player, I can see how you got here.

@mariev325 The framing of this argument is disingenuous like they were 0-5 on opportunities to win a title. There was 1 game in which the Lynx could close out. also easy to see why there was a letdown in OT after a gut wrenching moment at the end of reg when you think you’ve won it all.

@yosoymichael Usher is largely a nostalgia act. It’s about going to hear the hits we grew up with. Beyoncé is still driving culture and turning out new hits.

@NewEnglandLJ i thought it looked incredible but there's not much plot, very little character development, I don't really know what any of the characters are motivated by or after, the interviewer narrative advice doesn't really pay off or justify itself in a meaningful way, Hardy's accent 😬.

We don’t need to re-litigate the controversial call at the end of regulation in game 5… But I do think the Liberty need to take a hard look in the mirror. The same look they would have inevitably taken had a single call at the end of the series gone the other way… 🧵

@ImNotChris06 I see it over and over, what feels like complete disdain for the wnba outside of CC. The attitude that the league should just shut up, roll out the red carpet and be grateful and it’s kinda perplexing to me.

so sorry to be the one to tell you this but his responses have always been like this. There’s no there there. The emperor has no clothes. And so on and so forth.
This Trump supporter says his kids are struggling to pay rent and asks Trump what he’d do to bring down the cost of rent. The response is so unbelievably bad.

only in a country as dumb as ours would saving energy be looked at as "political".
Fox News is MAD that "woke" Xbox is changing its power saving mode. Earhardt: "Xbox has also announced that they're going woke because of climate change". Failla: "They're trying to recruit your kids into climate politics at an earlier age". E: "They're going after the kids"
