Hey @juliedicaro.bsky.social ... Who is this guy with Obama? What are they doing?
My brother can confirm the first part. Though we still like to joke we could have taken you and your brother in 2on2.

One last story on my nostalgia trip. In 2013, I came across the image of Death playing chess from The Seventh Seal. It gave me this idea for one of the few fictional stories I've written in my entire life on Death, time, Popovich, and basketball mortality. #GoSpursGo
In 2013, after the Spurs' Finals loss, there was a photograph of Popovich and Tim Duncan that might be one of my favorites. So, I wrote a reflection on the photograph, the 2013 Finals run, and Popovich and Duncan.
I wanted to share some stuff I wrote about Popovich in 2014 when I was still covering the team. #GoSpursGo
We need elected representatives that will fight for us. Not empty suits that will lie down for them.
A reminder: If you see an elected official near a billionaire, something bad is going to happen. An oligarchy can be red or blue because green is the only power in this country.
It’s all fun and games until the Mahomes try to overturn the results of the Super Bowl.
