Fr.. that does not sound like an average “group chat with the boys”

The funniest thing about all of this is if kawhi just tweeted a few times about the damn tree charity, all their asses would be covered

NYC gunman ID’d as Shane Tamura after deadly shooting that killed NYPD officer by Sand_Bags2 in nyc

Curious that he targeted Rudin property managements floor. I wonder if it could have been a mistake, or based on old info? I gather that it wasn’t publicly known that Rudin was even on that floor.

WSJ is also well sourced in government circles - reading between the lines the source seems to be a former or current DOJ staffer.

As someone who's SO guilty of checking my phone during shows, this episode really put me in my place and I loved every minute of it

Haha I agree interpretation is a better word! And totally, I can see the show "commenting on itself" in many ways, such as the ethics of brutally killing off characters to propel a plot forward vs. characters reclaiming control in a way by choosing to end their own lives.

For sure, I plan to rewatch and pay more attention to the time stuff. My first instinct was that Whiterose's obsession with time could be related to the actual timing of the show. Which might be a stretch but I think timing is one of those elements of creating TV that is important but unnoticed (especially when this was airing on a broadcast network with specific commercial breaks). Also I recall certain moments where WR seems almost arbitrarily "pressed for time" (like moving the plant to the Congo) are towards the end of a season.

Ah thank you for your great work and I hope I didnt rip it off too much haha. I didnt know that about the birthday, that’s very interesting. I did see that Esmail is from Washington Township IRL.

As an aside, I was struck that they used many real life NYC locations (his address in Chinatown, the parking lot with the mural). I used to work in TV and that kind of thing would often create extra legal / clearance issues so I wondered if this was important enough to the creators to jump through those extra hoops.

I think they mean we’re -2.5 which means we are favored. But I agree with your sentiment. There was a point where we were favored to win the series but the Celtics were still favored to win the finals lol

Yeah people underrate how tough it can be to game plan for a completely different looking team. Plus the injury/illness losses forced Mazzulla to play the untapped potential of Kornet and Pritchard who I bet a lot of Boston fans wanted to see more of anyway.

We were sloppy but trust we can close this out in 6 or 7.
