Jrue Holiday for Time Lord, Brogdon, a GSW '24 1st Rd Pick (top 4 protected), and a Celtics unprotected '29 1st Rd Pick.

Outside of all the media rumors and social media back-and-forth, who knows what that Riley-Cronin relationship is really like. Maybe it's fine and all the rumor bluster is just way overblown. Either way, I think it's going to be a lot easier for us to trade Jrue than Dame.

As a Blazer fan I wish him the best, no hard feelings. I hope he gets that championship. I'm looking forward to the new-look Blazers:

  • Scoot Henderson
  • Anfernee Simons
  • Shaedon Sharpe
  • Jerami Grant
  • Deandre Ayton

Looks like we're going to move Jrue.

The effects of gravity spread at the speed of light. If the sun suddenly blinked out of existence, it would take eight minutes to both see it disappear from Earth and notice a change in our planet's motion. In other words, the planet would continue to orbit that empty space in the middle because the sun's gravity, much like it's light, would still be extending out to us.

The universe is expanding in every part of space all at once. Some places are so far apart that the collective expansion between them is growing at greater distances in a given amount of time than light can travel. And the same can be said for the effects of gravity, but the motion of objects caused by gravity at great distances is far, far slower than the speed of light.

Our galaxy is moving in a direction that is caused partly by something called "The Great Attractor." But even though it's causing us to move, we will never reach it, and it's influence on us will gradually weaken. And it's not even that far away compared to most of what we know is out there.

That being said, this news is interesting.

Can someone update the right column to show "Portland Trail Blazers" (the official spelling) rather than "Portland Trailblazers"?

I like how they got lazy in the second half of their ballot and just filled in teams at the beginning of the alphabet. The attention span for that troll job was really short.

I guess it could also be an early season computer poll, but I don't understand submitting one this early if it looks like that.

Eight Pac-12 teams. It'll pare down once they start playing each other, but really making the most of their last season together.

Just keeping me productive is all. Actually, I appreciate that I don't normally spend nearly as much time in the Fediverse as I did on Reddit. My daily life is improved by it. I guess I'd selfishly rather this remain a small thing, but maybe I ought to take better control of my habits instead.

It's hard to take anything away from a game like that. Even the third string couldn't be stopped, and they were mostly running the ball like they were supposed to. I love watching us blow teams out, but this wasn't the same as that.

  1. First downs don't stop the clock except the last two minutes of the 2nd and 4th Q.
  2. Can't call consecutive timeouts.
  3. 1st and 3rd Q can end on penalties, they are applied at the start of the next quarter.

I think the first one is really only going to make a big difference, but they want to reduce the number of plays in a game.

They're making a Netflix animated series coming this November featuring the entire original cast and based more on the graphic novels than the film was. I can't think of too many reboots with the original cast, but I hope it's awesome. I liked the film quite a bit, so if for some reason it's not I can always fall back on that.
