Johnny Carpenter, head of Bucks player development, was with Taylor Jenkins when he first implemented the CLA in Memphis. Now the two are at it again…this time in Milwaukee.

This surprised me, I thought Cignetti would be over involved. More CEO type "Players say Cignetti "coaches the coaches" in practice, empowering his assistants to handle the instruction. Even Cignetti's team meetings never last more than 10 minutes

A lot of people now say specialize, pick one sport, go all in. But the best thing I ever did was play tennis.

Our new analysis finds that states that tax high earners produce more millionaires. This is no surprise: Investing in an educated workforce, childcare, and reliable transit strengthens the economy and pays back dividends for everyone, including the rich. 1/3

Maybe making travel soccer even more expensive will help the US finally get good.

I'm baaaaack. After spending the season traveling across Europe as an international scout, I'm back in the content game. My first article back: International Men of Mystery 2026. I share my thoughts on the five international prospects who stayed in the draft, plus why the international draft landscape is changing faster than ever. Free to read: open.substack.com/pub/nbabig…

god I hate this faux populist bullshit. K-12 is also free for rich people, as are public parks, the fire dept, libraries etc. Study after study shows means testing is the quickest way to gut programs for the rich AND the poor because it erodes the public base of support.

Kevin Durant gives advice to AJ Dybantsa and other young hoopers: “Hoop as much as possible. Play 5 on 5. Against live bodies. That’s more beneficial than working out by yourself all the time. My first few years I might’ve worked out at 10:00 am, but then I’m playing pickup all around the city. Outdoors, I’m playing 4-5 games of pickup just working on my instincts the whole day. 4 times a week. From like 19 years old until I’m 24. I look back and that was just way more beneficial than just getting in the gym working out by myself” (Via baseline banter YT) 🔥

Dante's Inferno treats neutrality just as harshly as actual sin. People who took no side in life, the "uncommitted," land in the Vestibule of Hell. Since they fought under no flag, their punishment is to chase a meaningless, blank banner for eternity. This is the contrapasso that corresponds to their actions. For sitting out the spiritual war (choosing neither good nor evil), Dante considers them people who "were never alive." He has them chased and stung by hornets, while maggots on the ground feed on the blood. In other words, for refusing to risk shedding blood in life, the blood now spilled for their efforts is wasted in the dirt. The maggots evoke death, for these are people who never lived. Dante, who was exiled for his own political life, saw wealthy families of Florence opt out of important issues because they had too much wealth and comfort to lose. Dante doesn't even give them the courtesy of mentioning them by name — the uncommitted are all nameless. There is no neutrality in moral matters. If you stand for nothing, nothing is what you'll become.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
Today, Luke Farrell explains how complex eligibility requirements have turned America’s safety net into a lucrative revenue stream for monopolistic private contractors.

I asked a Minneapolis organizer why so many ordinary people in her city have been so brave She said it's because folks engaged in legal activities like recording ICE or delivering food didn't back down once ICE's escalation suddenly turned basic rights into high-risk activities

My sister is a former trauma surgeon and I was introduced to this fact years ago. The murder rate went down not for a lack of shootings but because we got much better at treating gunshot wounds. That's why the real question should be "what is your attempted murder rate." The answer in the U.S. is terrible.
"Murder rates would be up to five times higher than they are but for medical developments over the past 40 years...Without this technology, there would be no less than 50,000 and as many as 115,000 homicides annually instead of an actual 15,000 to 20,000" ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
