LMAO. Loved watching Yaxel last year at Michigan but didn't realize he had this kind of bite. Have to think Luka's gonna hunt him the entirety of their next game

Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg did NOT mince any words when describing what it was like to guard Luka Dončić! 🤯 #NBA

Both skeptical and surprised to see that Huizenga is considered vulnerable - mainly because of the map but we'll see in a couple weeks.

The spending has turned this race into one of the most expensive in the country, despite receiving sparse national coverage. But even the Republican spending advantage may not be enough to save Huizenga. prospect.org?p=146296

I've only ever seen advertisements for the 911 universe of TV shows but I adore how seemingly unhinged every episode looks. This week, normal 911 has people in LA trapped in their cars surround by (surprise!) LAVA. While 911 Nashville has a woman trapped in basement filling with... BLOOD! Um OK!

The policy differences in the Michigan Senate election could not be more stark, so it's unfortunate that all coverage of the debate (fairly) talks about how the candidates attacked each other personally.

Mikel Arteta’s new contract was presented to him in an antique wooden box that opens up into a writing desk. The box was originally gifted to Arsenal’s first secretary, Elijah Watkins, following the club’s formation in 1886.

I'm not convinced these have ever done one good thing. Also it's noted that the employee kept accessing the database after they were fired!

All that just to end like this. Don't love the deal but Duren is so young I'm hoping his game continues to improve (in some areas very rapidly)
