Not really, if you read my other comment they’re actual journalists that have a solid history of good reporting.

They started this spin off of the intercept project relatively recently so that’s probably why.

Not sure on the down votes but my guess is that you mentioned the media bias sites and people would rather you come to your own conclusions based on the sources history kinda like you ended up doing by looking up the creators instead of relying on those sites.

I personally stopped interacting with the .worlds world news community after they forced the clearly biased mb/fc bot on everyone despite a lot of complaints.

Feel free to look them up they do good work.

McConnell's agents, Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman, told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski their client will sign a four-year, $45 million deal with the Pacers.

Combined with the $9 million remaining on his current deal, McConnell will earn $54 million over the next five seasons.

Hope he’s able to play again, felt like he was just finding a good niche with the bulls.

Ball has been out since January 2021 with a left knee injury and has since had three knee procedures, per K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago.

He had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in January 2022 before having an arthroscopic debridement of his left knee in September 2022. Cartilage transplant surgery followed in March 2023.

But there's certainly optimism for hope that Ball can return in 2024-25. Namely, he provided it with these comments to TMZ Sports.

I think they kinda hinted last year they’d tone down the courts a little. I think some worked really well and others were a bit head scratching so hopefully they do tweak them a bit.

I agree on the LED court! Think it’d be cool to include more effects like you said.

Can’t remember if it was just an alternative broadcast thing from another game or even just a demo but they showed a green/red effect around the shooter depending on their shooting %s at different spots as they dribble around the court and wished I’d seen that more since.

Gutzon Borglum was the sculptor and was involved with the KKK. He was chosen because he was the sculptor of the "Shrine to the Confederacy” which was the inspiration for Mount Rushmore.

Guess it shouldn’t be too surprising given the way the land was taken from the local tribes despite it being sacred.

Credit to this comment by u/alcoholicorn that drove me to look it up.

Edit: The US presidential election is not based on popular vote so if you live outside of the ~5-6 swing states that decide the election you can go ahead and vote for a candidate that fits your beliefs even if it’s 3rd party (shoutout PSL), there’s no argument not to. Continuing to vote for the lesser evil when it’s not needed just means they can take your vote for granted.

Make sure to pay attention to local/state elections too, those who often affect your life even more. As always voting is only a small part in how we affect change, find local organizations and agitate for change that way.

Between this and his game against Serbia he definitely showed he still has it

I agree! I think he takes DPOY this year and Spurs may sneak into the play in/playoffs

Wondering if you’re even allowed to purchase any of them or if they’re just considered public land. Although IIRC Sweden has laws that allow fair use of lands for camping and stuff for short periods of time as long as your not near someone’s house or farm.
