In yesterday’s Hoop Collective Podcast with Brian Windhorst, Tim MacMahon stated that Brandon Ingram was “floated” in trade conversations for Jimmy Butler.
Now MacMahon did not elaborate on why trade negotiations did not progress/slash broke down, but we can infer several possibilities from this 30 second clip:
-
Thibs was not interested in Ingram because he doesn’t help him win now, and as a coach/GM that is his top priority.
-
The lakers wanted an additional asset on top of Butler that Thibs was unwilling/unable to part with. It’s very possible that the Lakers wanted a pick and ownership was unable to swallow trading Butler and LOSING an pick in the process.
-
Butler hates Lebron and refused to be his wingman. We all know Butler left the Lakers off his desired trade locations, but why is that? Great city, historic franchise, and a competitive team. Seems like everything Butler wants, yet he displayed no interest in going there. There can only be one reason: Butler hates LeBron.
Whatever the truth is, it is clear that Brandon Ingram is not as untouchable as many believe, and could be moved sooner rather than later.
I’ll report more as soon as the next Hoop Collective Podcast comes out.
Fuck you Bleacher Report I beat you to it.
Hey guys,
I've always loved Televisor and was sad when I heard Tim left two years ago, and I'm wondering what he's been up to or what his new project is. After googling around I saw some people mention he is/may be behind the synthwave/EDM project Pylot, and it certainly sounds that way based on the music, but I can't find much on them.
So does anyone know what Tim's been up to? The dude makes awesome music and I would like to continue following his output. (Plus TBH I'm dying for new Televisoresque music heheh. The previews of the new stuff sound great but I need something!)
Cheers!
Best st kilda players to not get AA. Anyone who says otherwise gets an upvote.
Don’t downvote this post please, I’m not secretly 🅱️ooper.
I'm not going to pretend that his other roles aren't generally amazing, I will always have a special place in my heart for Frank N. Furter, this argument isn't designed to tear down his other roles at all. His work in "Clue" is just too enjoyable. He had the perfect facial expressions to just exude judgmental prissiness. His final explanation and all the running around we're great, and his portrayal of the chef and Mr Body are still tickling my funny bone.
Also, his fellow cast in this one are just unbeatable. They all add to the experience, and elevate each other's work. I mean, Madeline Kahn was spot on.
So, please, CMV. Is there another part that he played that was more enjoyable, either as part of the ensemble or just as his own role?

The warriors are exciting and I'm a huge fan of the splash bros and all, but what is ESPN even talking about anymore? SVP just said: "Not considering the salaries, this seems like a pretty fair match-up." I love warriors hype but give me a fuckin' break. ESPN has gone too far.

The debate around gender and identity has become more prominent in the public discourse, and is impacting the arenas typically studied by the social sciences-- economy, politics, society. For social scientists today, an understanding of gender theory is increasingly vital.
My name is Tim Smith-Laing. I received my DPhil at Oxford, then spent several years teaching and conducting scholarship at Oxford and Science Po in the area of literary theory and gender theory. I recently wrote an extensive peer-reviewed analysis of "Gender Trouble" by Judith Butler for an ed-tech company called Macat.
My interest in Judith Butler stems from a more general interest in the application of literary theory to the study (and creation) of literature. Like many critics, I believe in the insights theory can bring to literature; and like many critics, I also believe in the insights literature can bring back to theory. My doctoral research focused on the medieval and renaissance theories about Greek mythology, which became a privileged site for much literary, philosophical and theological debate in the period. It was fertile ground for work that asked questions and sought answers about the nature of truth, language, politics, gender and power. These are the same categories at the heart of modern literary theory. However, Butler's work has an avowedly political purpose and this is one of the reasons she has proven so thought-provoking for social science more widely. Butler's work is crucial for understanding the socially constructed dimensions of reality, and the relationship between society, power networks, and how we see ourselves. This is precisely why her insights can't be limited to the study of literature. After all, she offers arguments that can change not just how one reads literature, but how one reads the world. Twenty-five years on from its publication Gender Trouble remains an important and thought-provoking text, especially in a world where identity politics appears to becoming more, rather than less, important.
I will be online throughout the day to answer questions. Bring on the brigades! (as a commenter warned in the announcement yesterday).

Tomorrow, Friday, October 23 /r/AskSocialScience will be pleased to host an AMA by Tim Smith-Laing, who holds a DPhil from the University of Oxford and recently wrote an analysis of "Gender Trouble" by Judith Butler for an ed-tech company called Macat. Tim has prepared a short biography for us:
