Well, that's horrifying and racist, but it's also amusing to imagine an AABL youtube highlight video set to Pat Boone that's all bounce passes and set shots.

Between college, the NBA, the And1 tour, and the D-league it's a pretty crowded space. There have been various attempts at creating alternative basketball leagues over the past few years which have mostly crashed and burned, so I'm not sure it makes any more sense than making a new football league, except insofar as the costs would be lower. The real reason is that basketball is just too "urban" for what Vince is going for.

The Stop Making Sense versions of Life During Wartime and Slippery People will always be definitive to me.

It is such a cool, weird, flawed story and I love it a lot. I'm trying to put together a D&D campaign that's loosely based on Seven Soldiers and I really hope it actually comes together.

No idea, but they were delicious and I looked like 1981 John Belushi after I ate one.

So, my downstairs neighbor died in her condo last year. No idea how, I came home and the medical examiner was here. It sat empty for a while and eventually sold and new neighbors moved in. Yesterday I was googling my address to find out how old our building is and the first result was the Redfin listing from when the downstairs unit was on the market. What was the first line of the listing? Owners' change of circumstance is your benefit! What the hell, realtors?

And an hour after I post this my D&D session for tonight gets cancelled because work stuff came up for the DM.

That sounds a lot like my copy of Netrunner. We both enjoyed Dominion, so I got it to play with the wife but she was not into the deckbuilding aspects at all. And no one else I know plays so it just sadly collects dust on the shelf.

Maybe your son could try an LCG like Netrunner? I'm not super familiar with it but it seems to be less pay-to-win than CCGs. I'm really glad I got back into D&D but I hardly ever get to actually play since getting 5 adults together on a regular basis is like herding cats.

While I am universally in favor of people bringing donuts for their coworkers, why would you only bring powdered sugar-covered jelly donuts, the one donut that is completely impossible to eat in public without making an absolute mess? Still ate one, though.

If I were an insane rich person I would happily go broke bankrolling weird, psychadelic Grant Morrison series that would be incomprehensible to and hated by almost everyone. Like a Seven Soliders of Victory miniseries or Jodorowsky's Final Crisis. Also, it's Image instead of Marvel/DC but I think you could make a pretty dope Godland animated series.

Give me my I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League movie, dammit! Or at the very least a Booster/Blue Beetle buddy comedy.

Man, I don't even know what to say to this. Actually, you know who would be fucking awesome as Barda? The woman who played the dora milaje in Civil War/Black Panther. I don't know if she's physically large enough but you can CGI that shit. EDIT: Florence Kasumbo!

I wonder if they'll try to go in a GotG direction with the Green Lantern Corps movie.

Alfonso Cuaron directing a Mr Miracle movie. ETA: Obviously Gwedonlyn Christie is Big Barda in this scenario

Starting a new D&D campaign tonight, which will be my first time playing 5th ed. Very excited to roll out my Aasimar Cleric Praise-Tyr-On-High Hate-Evil Barebones. My elevator pitch of him is "Imagine if Oliver Cromwell actually had the power of god behind him." Should be fun.

I thought LaMelo was considered a legit prospect, insofar as any high school junior can be.

Congratulations to 2021 Azerbaijani Basketball League MVP, Lonzo Ball. In reality I think this is LaVar Ball just saying things. Otherwise he doesn't actually know how the draft or NBA free agency works.

Oh my god, we're getting a new Black Star album produced by Madlib. I may be hyperventilating a little bit right now

Looks like lightly toasted GPUs are already showing up:

KU, baby, what are you doing?

Dame Lillard has 50 points through 3 quarters against the Kings.

Reg E Cathey, known for roles on Square One, The Wire, Oz, and House of Cards has died at age 60 after a battle with cancer.

Our fridge died for real this week. We bought a new one but it can't be delivered until the 14th so I guess we just go without until then. I'm not too sad about the loss of the fridge but I am pretty hacked off about having to throw away a bunch of food again.

Oh, are we posting good-ass tweets in here? Ed, please. This entire thread is full of gold:
