Very candid Jordan Poole tonight in Pelicans’ locker room talking postgame to reporters. Asked him straight-up if he’d ever come back to the Warriors if there was a situation to do so. Poole: “Yes. “I mean, it just feels like home though, you know? Driving into the f— arena, crossing the Bay Bridge or wherever you’re coming from, it definitely feels natural. And I think it’s pretty evident that the way I play is very fitting to how I used to play here. Nothing’s changed, other than the systems that I’m in.” “We won a championship. So it works … to answer your question, definitely. This is my last year on the deal. I’m a free agent at the end of the season. So you never really know what’s going to happen.”

I couldn’t have come up with something better than Jennifer Welch is Hasan Piker for wine moms if I tried.

we’re in an industry run by people who have never heard of Foucault, McLuhan, let alone Chomsky.

Anyone seeking to understand the midterm’s lessons should start here: Democrats won by being populist economic fighters who were unafraid to call out the corrupt politicians and corporate interests who have rigged the system at the expense of everyone else.

I’m not saying we should round up every billionaire and put them to the guillotine. I mean come on, that’s crazy talk. But, hear me out…what if we just put one billionaire to the guillotine? Just one. We gotta instill the fear of the masses into them somehow.

The Holtzman shield doesn’t simply “allow slow objects so you can breathe”—that’s a necessary side-effect of how the field works, not a tunable feature. Personal generators produce a barrier that rejects anything moving faster than roughly 6–9 cm/s; air molecules themselves average hundreds of meters per second, so gas exchange is already sluggish. In the books, Paul notes that the air inside a shield bubble grows stale during a prolonged bout precisely because the slow interchange at the barrier edge can’t keep up with oxygen consumption. Larger installation or ship shields can be set tighter because they pair with full life-support systems; a belt-mounted personal unit appears to have practical lower limits on permeability, which is why doors and vaults use multi-layer “pentashields” rather than a single sealed field. Even if a fighter could crank a personal shield fully closed and strap on a tank, the practical problems stack up fast. You’d still need CO₂ scrubbers, heat rejection, and pressure management—turning a light combat harness into a bulky, heavy life-support suit that kills mobility in the exact style of fighting the shield forces (fast defense, deliberate slow attack). An opponent could simply stay just out of reach and wait for the oxygen to run out or the fighter to tire under the extra weight. On Arrakis the point is moot anyway: any active body shield draws sandworms into a frenzy, so most desert fighting happens without them. The setup is ultimately a deliberate narrative constraint that keeps combat personal, skill-based, and up-close rather than turning every soldier into an invulnerable scuba-tank fortress.

EL-SAYED: RFK JR. was in town this week. He said that the 500 million Arabs in the world had never contributed anything to science. But to be fair, he is an expert on people who never contributed anything to science. He didn't bother to show up when 8000 people were infected by the shit lettuce. But he wants to come here and lecture you about potentially electing and arab-american to the U.S. Senate My guy has zero doctorates. I have two of them

When this conversation comes up, I always go back to this really succinct quote from Fran Lebowitz.

Barry Bonds reveals why Greg Maddux was the toughest pitcher he faced during his career "The best, I think, technician pitcher was Greg Maddux. Maddux was the best technician." "Greg Maddux knew the philosophy of hitting at the same time I understood philosophy of pitching. And Greg used it very well to his advantage." "Power pitchers are power pitchers, they're going to go to what they go to no matter what, and that's power. And eventually, that's going to catch them, because you don't have to do much, they generate the power so the ball goes further." "It's those finesse technicians that you that really can break things break you down if you're not smart."

CADDYSHACK is one of the greatest comedies ever, especially when you learn Ted Knight was genuinely annoyed with Rodney Dangerfield while making the movie. Knight would rehearse and memorize his lines to a T, while Dangerfield would improv and continue to come up with ad-libbed one-liners. Knight especially hated Rodney's "We're all gonna get laid" line he made up on the spot 😂

Back in the '90s I dated a girl whose father used to work for Waffle House corporate. He explained the system to me in detail and being that I ate there all the time, it was fascinating to watch it happen in real life. And I'm not saying this to disparage Waffle House employees but this system was set up not only to be efficient but also to work well with the types of people who get jobs at Waffle House. It's simple, effective, and results in very, very few mistakes. It is quite ingenious.
