On Saturday, my mom Nelda Travis passed away after a 17-month battle with mixed acinar-neuroendocrine carcinoma, a rare form of pancreatic cancer. She was 65. She was the most loving & caring person I have ever known, a single mother who sacrificed everything to enrich my life.

Dario Amodei, you can have the keys to the world if you can get your robot to convince this dolt to start Luka Garza.
Replying to @RealBobManning
Here's Mazzulla in full describing how he uses Claude:

Rudy Gobert is the worst basketball player you’ve ever laid your eyes upon. But he has a great RAPM!
Rudy Gobert is already first in single-season defensive RAPM Barnes is #2, Caruso #3 Wemby 11th

We are just two minutes into the second quarter and Trae Young has already thrown lobs to Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr, AJ Dybantsa, Bilal Coulibaly and Deandre Ayton. Kyrie Middleton sticks out as the only rotation guy Trae won’t be able to lob it to.

I am also down to knock out a collab album with her, for the record.
never thought these two would be in the same sentence 😭 In a new cover story with @HYPEBEAST, Xaviersobased said he’d be down to make an entire collab album with Sabrina Carpenter. "Bro, I’ll knock out a whole album with her… I’m down for all types of things, but it just has to feel right and be done in a certain way."

I think Yaxel has more playmaking juice than Gordon. He looks like a bigger Iguodala to me.
I think the best comp for Yaxel is Aaron Gordon. Two huge forwards who do everything. Very versatile defenders, great rebounders, connective passers, transition + finishing weapons, can attack mismatches, good secondary handlers, strong 3P shooters (especially Yax). Sick players.

Yaxel Lendeborg is kind like a bigger, possibly better, Andre Iguodala. Unfortunate that he is the only starting caliber player the Warriors have drafted in the past decade and he arrives with Steph on the backend of his career.

Wow. Talk about a scandal.
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @GrahamRayman & @joeanuta politico.com/news/2026/10/26…

Please get Hansi Flick out of my club.

Wemby really lost the battle of No. 1 picks in the Finals. Devastating for his legacy.

Has to be the first player in history to go from being on the floor in the decisive seconds of the NBA Finals to the G-League draft.

The Nuggets are in overtime against a team that started DeAndre Jordan at center? ? ?

I wonder if people who thought the Heat would be good realized that a big part of their plan was having Davion Mitchell handle the ball.

Playing this whole season for that one item basically.
As it turns out, the buyer was LeBron James

Only 80 points shy of breaking his fraudulent record.

Is this even fake? Wolves are a different breed.

They are calling it the worst tweet of all-time.

Wow. Society's attention spans are cooked. The guy who climbs chairs during NBA halftimes has added a guy spinning around in a hamster wheel so nobody gets bored while he's building up to the top.

The pope is calling for the abolishment of the postseason. He’s not taking the White Sox elimination well.
Pope Leo: “We live in a performance-driven culture that constantly compares and ranks people, sometimes ruthlessly” and a “misguided understanding of meritocracy ultimately fails to respect people.” vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/…
