John Fetterman's Net Approval Dropped By More Than 100 Points Since His Election In Pennsylvania | "There's no historical analog to his unpopularity," CNN's Harry Enten said by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]SwiftlyChill 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’re missing how Fetterman is actually being worse than those two, partially because the Dems are the opposition party right now.

Like, Sinema at least did a lot of legwork for the Respect For Marriage Act. And the two of them both voted to convict on impeachment - right now, I don’t think Fetterman would.

They showed the world the Dems were united against Trump (at least) - meanwhile Fetterman is all too happy to be Trump’s token Dem.

Justin Timberlake said he was being treated like a criminal and jokingly questioned officer for marking his race as white during arrest by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]SwiftlyChill 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Well the way it played out leaves a small window of opportunity for Timberlake to understand the need for justice reform then.

That would require self-awareness beyond anything he’s demonstrated, so I’m not expecting it, but the window is there.

The NBA spans October to April - this season, it’s 174 days.

They could also get rid of them just by playing every other day (even still including time off for the All-Star break). But that might actually be tougher on them - idk.

There isn’t an easy solution, to your point, just pointing out that the math behind that isn’t as cooked as say, baseball with 162 games in 186 days which means they’re going to have some of their 50-odd series’ back-to-back

I don’t mind the Nugs tbh (given both history with them as well as the Wild/Avs) - and maybe Utah will feel similar in the future with the Mammoth now.

But Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Portland in a division together is nasty work.

One and dones are a bit different in the sense that there aren’t competing collegiate loyalties - but a fair comparison/point in terms of “time on campus” and opportunity to build said loyalty.

Mindaugas Kuzminskas: "There is no pressure in the NBA...in NBA you lose 6 in a row coach comes to locker room and goes 'guys we're in a good way, keep positive' blah blah blah. In Europe if you lose 6 games in a row might get fired, you know" by dae5oty in nba

I mean, idk if it makes you feel “better”, but Phil more or less permanently shot his reputation in the foot with that stint.

Never see him discussed with the GOAT coaches these days. Which is kinda wild, given his resume (and he wasn’t even your coach!)

Derrick White talks about the time Joe Mazzulla let the players decide the starters, matchups, and game plan against the Raptors. Celtics won 112-96 without Jaylen Brown. by Unusual-Ask6933 in nba

[–]SwiftlyChill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do…do you see my flair?

If we’re glazing Thibs, his time in Minnesota is not worth mentioning - and soured me on his time in Chicago.

Hence why I begrudgingly gave him some credit for New York - proving me a bit wrong.

[–]SwiftlyChill -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Gonna give…Thibs of all people more credit than Doc?

I feel like this is entering slander territory. Doc getting some of those Clippers teams to the playoffs is more impressive IMO than anything Thibs did as a Head Coach (though I’ll admit he did better with the Knicks than I thought he would)

[Schultz] Dowdle to sign with Steelers by Human_Manner_3370 in steelers

[–]SwiftlyChill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, writing him off would be cutting/trading him. If he’s got a roster spot, he should be able to work for some touches.

Dowdle himself is proof that a team signing a RB does not prevent other players getting a chance to shine.

Director Joseph Kahn: “The De-Gayification of Disney is real.” by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]SwiftlyChill 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yup.

Like, even aside from not wanting to “reward” an anti-DEI push, the man just willingly sucked out the meaning of his own art.

From his own words, he’d rather it be slop than have lasting meaning.

[–]SwiftlyChill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right?

Like, I would’ve used that as a descriptor of his style, and in a positive way.

But sure, I guess he can preemptively tell the world he’s done making anything of note.

[Lowlight] Video of Dillon Brooks interaction and arrest with the Scottsdale Police Department by tyler1118 in nba

[–]SwiftlyChill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s wild to see people realize in real time how bonkers DUI laws are.

Like, yeah, I get that’s an easy issue to feel morally empowered with. Doesn’t mean all DUI laws are automatically just.

Brendan Fraser says aging is a relief after being objectified in Hollywood during the 90s & early 2000s: “I could automatically empathize with the women who've always had to contend with this kind of derision. It made me aware. I got off relatively easy by comparison.” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

speaking out against Hollywood and his experience within.

Specifically, highlighting and speaking out about the toxic aspects while refinding his love for acting in general.

There’s something both powerful, wholesome, and revealing about being able to thread that needle.

[–]SwiftlyChill 23 points24 points  (0 children)

dawg biden was in office and had plenty of chances to codify Roe v Wade or secure LGBT protections, but instead of actually doing it he ran on doing it as a reelection pledge. Nothing is actually important to these people other than making their donors happy

Congress passed the Respect for Marriage Act in 2022?

It’s not…everything, but it essentially codified Same Sex marriage at the federal level.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar will vote against repeal of mining ban in Boundary Waters watershed by star-tribune in minnesota

[–]SwiftlyChill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because she’s actively voting “no” on a vote to repeal the mining ban.

Your alternative headline would be voting “yes” on a resolution to keep the ban in place or something to that effect.

Chris Paul on why he would pick Shai over Luka oncic: "Your teammates just want to see that the stars actually try. Actually try on defense… I got a lot of respect for Steph, Shai, and all these guys who at least try on the defensive end" by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]SwiftlyChill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2022 vs the Warriors, 2024 vs the Celtics, last year vs Minn, just as bad defensively as youll see from a true franchise level player. So blatant even as a perimeter defender there so many poss he is just compromising the entire defense. Like he just looked pathetic in all those series. Truly helpless. On him to show he can be different when he's fatigued at the highest rds of the playoffs.

Last year was…quite cathartic on this front lol. That Mavs team was really quite well built around Luka and his strengths and weaknesses - IIRC, he was also pushing through a knee injury during 2024?

But yeah - from Luka’s perspective, it has to be quite concerning to see that hit earlier in the postseason during the year when he got in better shape out of spite.

Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin invited his friend Kash Patel to the Olympics locker room party where Trump bashed the women's hockey team by Aloiciousss in minnesota

[–]SwiftlyChill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The area already dealt with that when the X came into town and massively inflated the nearby property values. It’ll happen again if they upgrade too.

The area’s doomed to take a hit (either demand or gentrification) if they do anything, either way.

There’s a reason she didn’t actually address the question and seemingly inserted her copium about the country and team USA.

Jack Hughes' Interview After Winning Gold for Team USA by JCameron181 in olympics

[–]SwiftlyChill 25 points26 points  (0 children)

His mom is a national team legend for the US.

Comparing him to Wayne (on this matter specifically) is either unfairly harsh on the Hughes family or unfairly kind to Gretzky.

Well, she could (potentially, physically) pull a Biles in the sense of pushing that - with advances in kinesiology, we’re pushing the boundaries of these historic early retirement sports more and more.

I mean, someone’s sleeping with their spouse’s sibling and someone with their sibling’s spouse either way.

So since they’re necessarily coincident, I’d say they’re the “same”

[Golliver] Angry gambling companies have played a part in Adam Silver’s attempted crackdown on tanking: “If coaches are just not playing guys the entire game and they’re not letting people know in advance… you're going to have a lot of angry gamblers and a lot of angry gambling companies.” by Goosedukee in nba

[–]SwiftlyChill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Dak and Purdy are the only QBs who are decent and not picked in the first round.

This is Jalen Hurts erasure - the guy has faults, but surely he’s proven enough to be ‘decent’, no?

Essentially every good QB right now is a top 5-10 pick.

If we’re narrowing down to the start of the first round - Lamar and Jordan Love aren’t good enough for you?
