NBA Offseason Thread 2025 - Fuck OKC
Interesting take. The NBA YouTube channel has really upped their game when it comes to compiling extended highlights. Enough to chase out most of the unaffiliated channels who were getting big views in the past. If I'm being honest, at least 80% of my regular season NBA viewing is in the form of YouTube highlights. They must be monetizing that side of the house pretty well for him to just come out and say, "just watch the highlights, peasants."

Not where the ballistics conversation usually goes for these. Quite humorous. You get a solid 'A'

Yeah, obviously a massive piece of shit for a variety of reasons, but who knows if he's cheering Kirk getting shot as much as he just saw a camera recording during a historic event and wanted to "photo bomb." Probably a little of both. People are just the best.

Remembering 9/11
Obviously it wouldn't be a utopia or anything, but it strains the mind to think of how different our society today would be had those planes not hit those towers.

I have no idea whether the bullet markings stuff is real... ...but was there ANY scenario given the victim, the administration, and the podcasters who run the FBI that "Trans!" wasn't going to be jumped on and spread in the aftermath somehow, someway? Cool country.

Yep.

Eh. Implying that his hate speech is what got him killed (true or not) moments after his gruesome murder had no chance of not being controversial and wasn't in the best taste. 10 years ago, it wouldn't have been a fireable offense, but, today? On a non-Fox channel? He probably saw the writing on the wall while the words were still coming out.

Ballmer alleged to have paid Kawhi Leonard 28m under the table to avoid the salary cap
Not that there was ever any real doubt, but Pablo's excellent reporting/sourcing proves that his North Carolina story was dead on as well. That Carolina brass banned Hoodie's arm candy from the program but then went back on it when Pablo's story came out. What a glorious shit show.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
Like others have said, I imagine taking a cold bore shot at a human (presumably for the first time) adds a decent amount of difficulty and would suggest some level of training...or sociopathy.

I would urge everyone to not take anything at face value for the next 48 hours. We've been down this road before. Many, many times. How often is the first reported narrative the correct one?

Yeah, it's not a good look. But damn do I sure wish your half of the country would get this upset about school shootings.

Trump’s America
So I imagine it's going to be awhile before anyone is allowed to ask the President why he's lying about his obvious knowledge of a sex workers ring, or why ICE keeps detaining US citizens, or why he's mandating state-sponsored higher education, or why the National Guard only seems to appear in cities that hate him. Out of respect, of course.

Anastasis complaining about someone else making a thread about them is just too much. Today sucks.

Yes, I'm sure when he said "he wants to hear what the killer has to say" he meant he's looking forward to his 60 Minutes' interview and wasn't referring to wanting to understand his motive. But, in that vein, I suppose I used literally haphazardly (okay, incorrectly).

Nm. Wrong thread.

That's literally what we're saying, man. Whatever point you thought you were making, it wasn't a good one. It happens. You're the one claiming to already know why he was killed, not us.
-
Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Nah. Too many steps.
-
Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
I don't care what his actual words are. But, yes, it obviously matters what his motives were. Somehow I doubt it was because he just had to stop "equal opportunity public square" debates. Don't be obtuse.
-

Da fuq? Wanting to hear from the killer before unilaterally and definitively declaring "He was killed because he engaged people in the public square, put his shit out there and gave others equal opportunity to put their shit out there. Our political climate doesn't like that sort of thing." is a controversial statement?

Mass Shootings
Man, I bet this shooter sure feels stupid. He doesn't even get a blurb today, let alone a full news cycle.

It's best to accept now that pretty much nothing that you hear in the next 48 hours is going to be accurate or true. From anyone.

I mean, I assume halfway through he knew he was fucked, but it was too late to abort. But there was no way that was going to fly in today's media.

I'll tell you what: can we just try it for a year? Full background checks, red flag laws, safety and awareness classes, gun safe laws, licensed concealed carry only, the works. If there's not a dramatic fall in shooting deaths--if the kid from Uvalde and other social butterflies are able to Google their local black market gun dealer easily enough--we'll admit to being wrong and never infringe again.
