👑 DEMAR DEROZAN AGREES TO 3-YEAR, $73.7 MILLION DEAL WITH KINGS — YAHOO SPORTS

It’s probably one of the better case scenarios for DeMar at this point in his
career given how things have shaken out this summer. He can still ball though.

👾 POKÉMON IS ALL ABOUT READING - THE PARIS REVIEW

I don’t know what it was about this, but I really enjoyed it. It’d be nice if
TPR did more like this in the future. A low-brow topic, travelogue, and a black
POV. All great.

🌅 MY STRICT MORNING ROUTINE — THE NEW YORKER

> Now, I know what you’re probably thinking: Doesn’t eating the same thing day

Besides all the stepping on glass, I feel like they nailed my morning routine.
Especially the hot pockets…

📒 INTERNET PHONE BOOK

A very cool internet project from the folks at Naive Yearly that will be in
print! Very cool to see this, especially as I’m working on my own internet
project coming to print. And it’s sponsored by Kinopio too.

Spot on. And in more ways than one. Every industry is treating AI and “cost
cutting” in a way that will severely limit aspects of their workforce and their
audience in the future.

📘 FITZCARRALDO EDITIONS MAKES CHALLENGING LITERATURE CHIC — NEW YORKER

I’ve been wanting to subscribe to Fitzcarraldo‘a offerings for ages now, but the
shipping from the UK to the US basically doubles the cost… Really cool to learn
about its origins and how they basically ride or die with their writers that
they believe in. The design is obviously stellar. Lots of lessons here if I ever
get serious about printing things as foofaraw press…

💰 SKYDANCE MEDIA, NATIONAL AMUSEMENTS REACH TENTATIVE DEAL FOR PARAMOUNT —

What a rollercoaster. This always felt like the best deal for the industry and
the creatives that make it up, but I didn’t imagine them coming back to the

🥁 LAMB OF GOD DRUMMER HEARS IMAGINE DRAGONS FOR THE FIRST TIME — DRUMEO

I’ve watched a lot of these and this is by far the best one. It shows how much a
song can be improved with a talented (and fierce) drummer, on a real kit, just
having fun with it. That’s real rock. And I don’t even like Lamb of God.

🧃 WHY ARIZONA ICED TEA CEO WON’T RAISE 99-CENT PRICE: ‘IT’S MY LITTLE WAY OF
GIVING BACK’ — CNBC

> “I don’t know about never, [but] not in the foreseeable future,” he told
> Today. “We’re going to fight as hard as we can for consumers, because
> consumers are my friend.”

Arizona and Costco are two companies who just do it right. We are in this
endless cycle of capitalism gaming markets and always having to make more, but
why? The CEO of Costco isn’t one of these outrageously paid CEO’s (still super
wealthy though) and they’ve kept the hot dog price low. I don’t know what the
Arizona guy makes (he’s got quite the high net worth), but the fact they’ve
managed to make a profit while offering the drink at $0.99 is a testament to
good business, good operations, and goodwill.

🍤 YOPPAMAN

This is an incredible little animated short. Very much feels like The Boondocks
meets Gundam and I’m here for it. As I understand it, it’s too cool artists and
Donald Glover has joined to help produce so they can make independently. I
really hope we get more episodes of this wildness.

🍄 MAKING THE KINOPIO SOURCE CODE PUBLIC — PKETH

> Delivering software is more like delivering a gooey crying baby. It’s alive.

> Physical materials rarely change, but web browsers, operating systems, and

It’s incredibly cool to see this out in the wild. Code is gibberish to me, but I
think it’s quite obvious how much work Pirijan puts into Kinopio and getting it
ready for this open source* release.

So I ended up not watching the debate last night. It was giving me too much
anxiety and there was better stuff to spend my time on…

Reading about it this morning (mainly from headlines) has me depressed and
scared. However, this is not a “lesser of two evils” situation (neither was
2016, for the record). There’s only one “evil” here and one elderly man who I
sincerely hope will find a way to still be in office next year…

When it comes to CNN and fact-checking… it’s ridiculous to say it’s not their
job and it’s up to the candidates to “debate.” To “debate” your arguments need
to be grounded in facts or at a minimum a shared reality with some semblance of
truth, otherwise you’re just shouting things (likely made up out of thin air)
past each other.

Instead of fact-checking, CNN let two old men make shit up and promoted their
lies (over 20 from Trump and 9 from Biden, according to CNN’s own fact-checker…
after the fact…).

I don’t think a president needs to be great at debates, but if Biden is going to
have a shot, I think he’s going to need to be a lot more public and energized
throughout these next four months.

Well, they nailed it. Good luck to everyone planning to watch (I think I might;
I’m not sure why though). I hope your blood doesn’t boil too much and you find a
way to stay sane.

🧑‍⚖️ JULIAN ASSANGE’S PLEA DEAL — TANGLE

> Assange also rarely interacts with state governments to figure out what

> example, the Taliban once used documents released by WikiLeaks to identify

I personally think time-served is probably the right move here. Considering not
only the five years he spent in jail but the years holed away in the Ecuadorean
embassy in London. The people saying he’s done nothing different than a
journalist are way off base though. Journalists use judgement (and common sense)
when they decide what to publish to avoid putting people in harms way and
(hopefully) not to advance their own agenda in corrupt means. Assange failed
both of those measures handedly.

🏀 KNICKS’ OG ANUNOBY TO RETURN ON FIVE-YEAR, $212.5 MILLION DEAL — YAHOO SPORTS

There it is! I’m not sure how they can afford Hartenstein now though and it’s
important the Knicks have another C given Robinson’s injury history. I’m sure
they’ll pick up Precious $5mil option, but that’s not enough.

But the starting lineup of Brunson, Bridges, Anunoby, Randle, and Robinson is
super formidable. Plus Hart and DiVincenzo off the bench.

The NBA Draft is tonight and the Bulls seem to be in a decent position to get a
few of the players I actually like for them this year.

The Ringer has Cody Williams, the freshman out of Colorado and brother of OKC’s
Jalen Williams, falling to the Bulls at 11.

ESPN has Devin Carter, the Junior guard out of Providence who can bring a little
bit of that Lonzo Ball type defender to the Bulls backcourt.

And Yahoo has Ron Holland, the 6’7” SF coming out of the G League Ignite going
to the Bulls (he fell to 13 in ESPN’s mock).

All three of these players will bring a defensive edge, although both Williams
and Holland are a bit raw offensively and will need to find their shot. I also
think it’s worth noting Holland was the top recruit out of his high school
class, choosing to go to the G League and averaging 15/7 against grown men
during his only year there.

Ultimately, if Holland is on the board (like ESPN and Yahoo seem to think he’ll
be), I think the Bulls have to take him. But if any of these three fall into
their lap, Bulls fan should be happy.

Other guys to look for if they fall: Matas Buzelis, Dalton Knecht, Donovan
Clingan.

And if none of the above are availble: Kel’el Ware, Kyshawn George, Johnny
Furphy—but lets hope it doesn’t get to this point.

🔦 TRUMP’S ‘VERY FINE PEOPLE’ REMARK: SNOPES MISSES THE MARK ON DANGEROUS
DOUBLESPEAK — THE PRESENT AGE

> Snopes’ conclusion that it is “false” to claim Trump called neo-Nazis and
> white nationalists “very fine people” overlooks the then-president’s use of
> doublespeak. Trump’s remarks on August 15, 2017, deliberately blurred the
> lines between condemning and excusing hate groups. By stating that there were
> “very fine people on both sides,” he equivocated, offering a shield of
> respectability to an event organized by avowed white supremacists and
> neo-Nazis. The rally’s context — marked by swastikas, torches, and chants of
> “Jews will not replace us” — renders any defense of participants as “fine
> people” indefensible.

I try to avoid posting about the same thing twice in one day, but Parker
obviously does a much better job of going through everything Trump actually said
and why Snopes completed missed the mark. Given that this is getting picked up
so widely by right-wing publications, I think it’s important that we look at the
what he said, the context he said it in, and who exactly was there on either
“side”.

🤖 I PAID $365.63 TO REPLACE 404 MEDIA WITH AI — 404

Just further evidence this stuff needs to be regulated. Without substantial
regulation, companies, let alone small teams and individuals, will never be able
to keep up with what amounts to theft. We’ve already seen instances of Amazon
filling up with fake bullshit. As it becomes easier and easier, there needs to
be some sort of disincentive in place to at least slow it down.

✨ LAKERS ICON MAGIC JOHNSON: CAITLIN CLARK, ANGEL REESE REMIND ME OF LARRY BIRD,
MYSELF — BLEACHER REPORT

I said this exact thing months ago on Mastodon. The timing from the NBA’s
creation → Magic/Bird and profitability lines up pretty well with that of the
WNBA → Clark/Reese too. It takes time for leagues to reach profitability and the
viewership the W is currently bringing in will hopefully help propel the league
into not only profitability, but paying the women higher salaries.

😤 NO, TRUMP DID NOT CALL NEO-NAZIS AND WHITE SUPREMACISTS ‘VERY FINE PEOPLE’ —
SNOPES

This is such a weird fact-check from Snopes. He may have not said “neo-Nazis are
very fine people,” but he did say “you also had people that were very fine
people, on both sides.” However, one side was completely neo-Nazis and white
supremacists shouting “Jews will not replace us.” Trump can claim there were
“many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists,” but
that doesn’t make it true. Ipso-facto he said neo-Nazis are very fine people.
End of story.

Thinking about the shape I want TIV to take. It used to be a personal blog, then
it was an “everything” blog, and now it’s essentially a link blog. The goal
right now is to be a little more newsy so it reflects the record of the day.
