Just because it's raining, that's no reason not to ride a motorcycle💦🚴‍♂️ In the summer, a shirt soaked by the rain dries quickly while you're riding👕✨ In fact, I actually like the feeling of a wet shirt clinging to my skin💪😁

‼️Candace Owens Says Erika Kirk Is CONFIRMED To Be a PSYCHOPATH After Revealing What Tucker Told Her in Maine In tonight’s explosive episode, Candace Owens dropped a major revelation about Erika Kirk after a memory resurfaced from her own trip to Maine last summer. She explained that while doing Tucker Carlson’s show, Tucker mentioned he had just had dinner with Charlie and Erika. According to Candace, Tucker told her that Erika was strongly anti-Israel during that dinner and was going in hard on the topic — even more so than Charlie at the time. This stands in direct contrast to Erika’s pro-Israel speech just days earlier at James Cuddeback’s church, where she gave what Candace called a “call to arms” for Israel while Charlie was under massive pressure from pro-Israel donors pulling out over the Epstein discussions at SASS. Candace called Erika a psychopath, accusing her of completely changing her personality depending on who she’s in front of. She said this proves Erika was not a genuine grieving widow, but someone who was already playing different roles while Charlie was still alive. This timeline just keeps getting darker. FOLLOW Candace Owens, RT and watch her FULL episode linked below.👇 ⚠️My channel is under attack to try to bankrupt me. If you want to support me and help me keep exposing these clowns...

MAGA isn't dead, it's growing bigger every single day. 🇺🇸💪 You know what MAGA really means to me? It's not just politics. It's the heartbeat of America. It's apple pie cooling on the windowsill after a family cookout, burgers and hot dogs on the grill while the kids chase each other around the yard laughing. It's blasting "Free Bird" full volume, hopping on a motorcycle, and tearing down an open highway on a warm summer day with nothing but wind and freedom in your face. It's gathering with friends around a crackling campfire on Saturday night, stories, cold beers, roasting marshmallows, laughing until the stars feel closer. It's throwing on a bikini and hitting the beach, sun on your skin, waves crashing, no schedule, no stress, just pure American summer. It's dropping the top on a convertible, letting the wind whip your hair wild while your favorite song blasts and the road stretches out forever. It's the crack of the bat at a baseball game, cold beer in hand, hot dog loaded up, strangers around you turning into friends by the seventh inning stretch. It's fireworks ripping across the sky on the Fourth of July, that chest-tightening pride when Old Glory waves high and everyone stands a little taller. It's tailgates before the big game, hunting trips at dawn, fishing with your dad, church on Sunday morning, working hard all week so you can play hard on the weekend. It's backyard bonfires, road trips with no real destination, barbecues that last until the sun comes up, loving your neighbor, carrying a gun because you can. Never once apologizing for being proud to be an American. That's MAGA to me. It's not fading, it's alive in every small town, every big city backyard, every open road. It's us. And it's only getting stronger. This is what President Trump is working hard to give back to you. How bad do you want it? Remember who you are. Be proud!❤️🇺🇸

Found it on Threads. 🇰🇷GP wrote, "[I have a 🤏, yet special connection with BTS. In July 2016, while serving as the security coordinator at the Ulsan Jungbu Police Station, I went onsite to manage the Summer Festival held at Dongcheon Gymnasium. On a sweltering summer day, students who had been lining up since the day before the concert got into a dispute over the entry order. At the time, I couldn't understand why they were going to such lengths, so I asked, "Who on earth are you here to see that you're doing all this?" Everyone answered, "BTS!!!!." That was the first time I had ever heard of them. While watching the performers in the waiting area behind the stage, I noticed one group among the many artists who were practicing their dance formations relentlessly. I asked a staff member who they were, and the answer was 'BTS.' That was the first time I looked at them with genuine interest. I had never seen a group practice so hard right up until the moment they stepped onto the stage. They were the real deal. A true star had appeared. Because of that encounter, I started following their activities from time to time and cheering them on in my heart. Not long ago, before a performance at #BTS_ARİRANG Gwanghwamun, I posted on Threads that we should tolerate some level of inconvenience for a BTS concert and showed my support, but I ended up getting terrorized by hate comments. Still, I definitely have a keen eye for people! I am so proud of #BTS!!! ]

Brian Chesky explains how Airbnb solved the chicken-and-egg problem “Marketplaces are incredibly defensible at scale, and maybe it’s because they’re incredibly hard to start. And the problem is simple - they call it the chicken and egg problem.” As Brian explains, it was tough to bootstrap Airbnb in the beginning because travelers couldn’t book homes if there was no inventory, and homeowners didn’t want to list their homes unless people were going to book them. “We didn’t know what to do for a while .We tried a lot of different things. And I can tell you what worked. Summer of 2008, the press announces that Barack Obama is moving from a 20,000 seat basketball arena to an 80,000 seat football stadium. And we said, that’s our shot. You have 60,000 people that don’t have housing, surely at least a few of them are going to need a place to stay… And so we literally started with local people in Denver. Then we started emailing bloggers. We got the bloggers. Then the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News covered us. Then the local ABC and NBC and CBS affiliates. And then the Wall Street Journal. Then the New York Times and CNN are in our living room… We did that in a matter of three weeks.” Brian continues: “We started these little infernos. You start getting a few users here, a hundred here, fifty there… And we did the same thing with the inauguration. And when you have a hundred people here and there, then you obsessively meet them… Paul Graham, our first investor, said it’s better to have a hundred people love you than a million people kind of like you. And the reason why is it’s really hard to build off of a really wide but shallow base. But with a hundred people, you can find out everything they want… You meet them, you spend a ton of time with them, and once they fall in love with your product, they’ll tell every one of their friends. That’s why [Airbnb] took a really long time to start, but it grew much faster later on.” Video Source: Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California

Made with seedance 2.5 Using OpenArt Prompt Create a 30-second, 1080p ultra-realistic personal home-video showing a young Korean woman visiting a traditional countryside farm and learning how to milk a cow. No reference image. MAIN SUBJECT: A naturally pretty Korean woman in her early 20s, realistic skin texture, minimal makeup, long black hair tied in a loose low ponytail. She wears a simple pale-yellow cotton T-shirt, relaxed blue jeans, white sneakers, and a small beige crossbody bag. Keep the same face, hairstyle, clothing, body proportions, and appearance throughout. SETTING: A small traditional Korean countryside farm on a warm summer afternoon. Old wooden barn, cows, hay, buckets, farming tools, green fields and simple farmhouse surroundings. Everything should feel authentic, ordinary and lived-in. CAMERA: The camera is ALWAYS IN FRONT OF THE GIRL, never behind her. A friend films her while standing or walking backward in front of her using a handheld smartphone/early-2000s consumer DV camcorder. Her face stays clearly visible. Strong natural handheld shake, imperfect framing, autofocus hunting, exposure changes, slight motion blur, soft digital detail and mild image noise. NO cinematic camera movements, NO gimbal, NO drone, NO rear shots, NO polished commercial look, NO beauty filter. TIMELINE 0:00–0:05 — Entering the Barn The girl walks toward the camera with her friend filming from directly in front. She looks excitedly at the cows and smiles. She says in Korean: “오늘 소 젖 짜는 걸 배워볼 거예요.” 0:05–0:10 — Getting Ready Hard cut. She sits beside a calm cow while an experienced farmer demonstrates how to position the bucket and gently milk. The camera stays in front, showing her face and hands naturally. 0:10–0:15 — Awkward First Attempt She tries milking herself. At first she squeezes incorrectly and barely gets any milk into the bucket. She looks confused, then laughs at herself. “어? 왜 안 나오지?” 0:15–0:21 — Trying Again Hard cut. The farmer calmly shows her the correct hand movement. She tries again while the friend films from the front. This time milk starts flowing into the bucket. Her face immediately lights up. 0:21–0:26 — She Gets It She continues successfully, looking proudly toward the camera. She laughs and says: “됐다! 진짜 된다!” 0:26–0:30 — Happy Ending She stands beside the cow holding the small bucket and smiles at the camera. She gently pats the cow and gives a little wave. “오늘 진짜 재밌었어요. 안녕!” Natural cut to black. AUDIO: Only real farm sounds: cow mooing, bucket sounds, footsteps, birds, insects, distant farm activity and natural conversation. No music and no narration. OVERALL STYLE: It must look like a genuine friend-recorded memory from an ordinary farm visit—not a movie or advertisement. Front-facing coverage throughout, with natural reactions and imperfect handheld footage.

Oh man, buckle up, Somali brothers, it is your sister abla talking with no filter, just straight chaos and cackling like we are sitting around fire in summer camp talking about international marriage drama on steroids: Remember like three years ago? Yeah, 2023, peak pandemic hangover era. Somali dudes were out here acting like Morocco was the new Costco for wives. Flights booked, suitcases packed with qabil pride and zero game plan. TikTok full of adeers landing in Casablanca like “Yo, found the upgrade! Cheap mahr, beautiful vibes, no drama!” They were hyping it like Black Friday deals, “Moroccan queens better than Somali queens, wallahi!” Airports looking like Somali hajj but with more henna and less sense. Fast forward to now those same Moroccan brides? They leveled up harder than a Fortnite skin. They grabbed those passports, citizenship papers, legal docs in the diaspora bag like Pokémon cards, said “Thanks for the green card upgrade, habibi,” and bounced. Now there is whole TikTok groups popping off of Moroccan ex wives spilling tea, roasting Somali ex hubbies like it is an open mic night. Confessions on loop“He thought he was getting a submissive queen, but I was getting a free ticket to freedom!” Laughing emojis, divorce dance challenges, the works. And the queen of the group? This Moroccan woman who divorced her Somali guy in the UK probably after he asked her to serve him pasta for every meal and calling it “fusion cuisine”then she slid right into a Pakistani husband. Pakistani dude probably showed up with biryani game on lock, and hided his “my mom says” energy. She is out here laughing, remarried, posting “From Mogadishu pasta to Lahore rice” vibes. Hard flex & gained lot of weight & became the human whale. So yeah, Somali kings who thought they were playing 4D chess? Turns out it was checkers, and the board flipped. Those Moroccan brides played the long game….got the papers, got the exit, got the glow up. Now they are in group chats like “Who’s next? Tag your ex!” while the Somali brothers left holding empty suitcases and lawyer bills are just staring at the ceiling like “What happened to ‘easy marriage’?” Hard luck to every Somali man out there still swiping on that Morocco filter. Lesson learned the expensive way: Don’t treat international marriage like a budget airline ticket. Sometimes the layover turns into a full deportation of your dreams. Moral of the story? Love is blind, but immigration lawyers ain’t. Stay woke, stay local, or at least read the fine print before you board that flight. 😂💔✈️

Fast forward to now those same Moroccan brides? They leveled up harder than a Fortnite skin. They grabbed those passports, citizenship papers, legal docs in the diaspora bag like Pokémon cards, said “Thanks for the green card upgrade, habibi,” and bounced. Now there is whole TikTok groups popping off of Moroccan ex wives spilling tea, roasting Somali ex hubbies like it is an open mic night. Confessions on loop“He thought he was getting a submissive queen, but I was getting a free ticket to freedom!” Laughing emojis, divorce dance challenges, the works. And the queen of the group? This Moroccan woman who divorced her Somali guy in the UK probably after he asked her to serve him pasta for every meal and calling it “fusion cuisine”then she slid right into a Pakistani husband. Pakistani dude probably showed up with biryani game on lock, and hided his “my mom says” energy. She is out here laughing, remarried, posting “From Mogadishu pasta to Lahore rice” vibes. Hard flex & gained lot of weight & became the human whale. So yeah, Somali kings who thought they were playing 4D chess? Turns out it was checkers, and the board flipped. Those Moroccan brides played the long game….got the papers, got the exit, got the glow up. Now they are in group chats like “Who’s next? Tag your ex!” while the Somali brothers left holding empty suitcases and lawyer bills are just staring at the ceiling like “What happened to ‘easy marriage’?” Hard luck to every Somali man out there still swiping on that Morocco filter. Lesson learned the expensive way: Don’t treat international marriage like a budget airline ticket. Sometimes the layover turns into a full deportation of your dreams. Moral of the story? Love is blind, but immigration lawyers ain’t. Stay woke, stay local, or at least read the fine print before you board that flight. 😂💔✈️

.Naval: You have a beautiful definition of knowledge, which most people don’t even try to tackle, about how knowledge perpetuates itself in the environment. You gave some really good examples. One was around genes. Successful, highly adapted genes contain a lot of knowledge and can cause themselves to be replicated because they’re survivors. In the same way, knowledge itself is a survivor, in that if you transmit to me the knowledge of how to build a computer, it’s an incredibly useful thing. I’m going to build more and more computers and that knowledge will be passed on. Your underlying point that you repeated here was if you want to understand the physical universe you have to understand knowledge, because it is the thing that over time takes over and changes more and more the universe—more than almost anything else. You have to understand all the explanations behind it. You can’t just say “particle collisions” because that explains everything, so it explains nothing. It’s not a useful level to operate at. Therefore, the things that create knowledge are uniquely influential in the universe. And as far as we know, there are only two systems that create knowledge. There’s evolution and there are humans. But is there a difference even between these two forms of knowledge creation, between evolution and between humans? David Deutsch: Yes. I have argued that the human way of creating knowledge is the ultimate one, that there aren’t any more powerful ones than that. This is the argument against the supernatural. Assuming that there is a form of knowledge creation that’s more powerful than ours is equivalent to invoking the supernatural, which is therefore a bad explanation—as invoking the supernatural always is. The difference between biological evolution and human creative thought is that biological evolution is inherently limited in its range. That’s because biological evolution has no foresight. It can’t see a problem and conjecture a solution. Whenever biological evolution produces a solution to something, it’s always before natural selection has even begun. This is Charles Darwin’s insight. This is the difference between Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and the other theories of evolution that had been around for a century or more before that, including Charles Darwin’s grandfather and Lamarck. The thing they didn’t get is that the creation of knowledge in evolution begins before. That means that biological evolution can’t reach places that are not reachable by successive improvements, each of which allows a viable organism to exist. Creationists say that biological evolution has, in fact, reached things that are not reachable by incremental steps, each of which is a viable organism. They’re factually mistaken. The thing which they have in mind is the idea of a creator who can imagine things that don’t exist and who can create an idea that is not the culmination of a whole load of viable things. A thinking being can create something that’s a culmination of a whole load of non-viable things. Explanatory creativity makes humans unique Out of all the billions and billions of species that have ever existed, none of them has ever made a campfire, even though many of them would’ve been helped by having the genetic capacity to make campfires. The reason it didn’t happen in the biosphere is that there is no such thing as making a partially functional campfire; whereas there is, for example, with making hot water. The bombardier beetles squirt boiling water at their enemies. You can easily see that just squirting cold water at your enemies is not totally unhelpful. Then making it a bit hotter and a bit hotter. Squirting boiling water no doubt required many adaptations to make sure the beetle didn’t boil itself while it was making this boiling water. That happened because there was a sequence of steps in between, all of which were useful. But with campfires, it’s very hard to see how that could happen. Humans have explanatory creativity. Once you have that, you can get to the moon. You can cause asteroids which are heading towards the earth to turn around and go away. Perhaps no other planet in the universe has that power, and it has it only because of the presence of explanatory creativity on it.

⚡️ “THE PEOPLE SHOULDN’T PAY FOR THEIR PLAY” Let’s talk about the quiet con happening behind the glowing screens — the one nobody voted for, but everyone’s now footing the bill for. While tech billionaires race to build massive AI data centers, sucking down more power than small cities, guess who’s getting the electric bill? You. Me. Your retired parents who don’t even know what “Grok” is. The single mom trying to keep her lights on. The family that still turns the AC off in summer to save a few bucks. All because the world’s richest companies decided to use our public grid as their private battery. AI might be the next gold rush for Silicon Valley — but they’re mining with our electricity, and we’re the ones paying the utility hikes. The price of their “progress” is being stapled to the average American’s power bill, while they boast about innovation and profits that never make it back to the people actually subsidizing it. And here’s the absurdity: Your grandparents who can’t afford their prescriptions are literally helping power the servers that make billionaires richer — for products they’ll never use. It’s like paying for a yacht you’ll never sail on, or a mansion you’ll never step into, because someone convinced your power company that “we all benefit from innovation.” No. We don’t. If these companies want to build their empires on AI, then the cost of that electricity should be baked into the price of their product, not socialized across the entire country. That’s not innovation — that’s corporate welfare with a tech filter. They’ve privatized the profits and nationalized the power bill. And it’s happening right under our noses. So here’s the deal: We need new legislation that draws a hard line. If you build a mega data center, you pay for it. If you overload a grid, you invest in expanding it. If your product guzzles electricity, your end users pay for it — not retirees, not low-income families, not small-town America that’s just trying to keep the lights on. America is not your free power source. Our grid isn’t your playground. And our patience isn’t infinite. We’re already taxed, tolled, and charged into exhaustion — for healthcare we don’t have, for roads you don’t fix, for systems you keep breaking. So no, Silicon Valley doesn’t get to quietly siphon our power too. The American people deserve a refund — and a law that finally says: You plug it in, you pay for it.

"Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency.” I tweeted this out on March 6th of this year and the autopen scandal began. On March 22nd, the New York Times, a sudoku creating company with fake news as a side dish, wrote an article titled “How an Autopen Conspiracy Theory About Biden Went Viral” It was what we in the business call a bum steer written by Ken Bensinger, a long time amplifier of the work of my Oversight Project. No one calls it a conspiracy theory today. But the real story began much earlier. In the Summer of 2024, everyone around the world wondered who was actually running the White House because it was abundantly clear that it was not Biden. Biden’s malfunction at the presidential debate put an end to any reasonable argument that he was actually in charge. Gathered around a conference room, my team tried to find the answer. We knew it was inevitable that Biden would exit the stage. We were exploring several ways to accelerate that. One was our litigation threat that if the DNC waited too long to legally substitute another candidate that we would sue to prevent them from pulling a last minute switch. The DNC admitted in leaked memos that that very litigation threat impacted their thinking. The result was a fake and fast primary that crowned the weak Kamala Harris, wounded by her undemocratic ascension out of the gate. Another was intense litigation to obtain the audio of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Hur. We won that fight and the audio was released earlier this year, and to no one’s surprise, Biden malfunction in that interview was clear. But the most important part of that summer meeting was when we were gathered around a television watching Biden stumble across the screen. Someone asked how he was even signing documents and then there was a contemplative pause. Autopen. A long and intense process was then launched. We got to work gathering up every original document we could find purporting to have the President’s signature. We then gathered calendars and Biden’s schedule and confirmed that Biden frequently used the autopen when he was in D.C. and had a relatively light schedule. We took a deep-dive into the legal and constitutional authority around presidential power and whether certain decisions were delegable. Our team spent hundreds of hours on this and the results were not only jarring but abundantly clear. Joe Biden wasn’t the President, an autopen was. President Trump has brought up the autopen perhaps more than any other topic. He has called it the scandal of the century. If you look at trends of google searches as a metric, the word autopen was searched more this year than over the entire history of the Internet by many degrees. It is now part of our national language, it is a historical term for a historic scandal. But now is the most important part, the only part that really matters. We’re getting close to accountability. To date, the Department of Justice hasn’t taken any action to back up the President’s repeated directions that all autopenned documents are null, void, and of legal effect. Despite President Trump’s clear orders, the Department of Justice is still treating these documents as legal. They have already released awful criminals with fake commutations from Federal prison during the Trump Presidency. We broke the scandal that Biden’s own DOJ objected both to the form of these commutations and the fact that while the Biden Administration claimed they are non-violent felons many are in fact murderers and gang-bangers. They are scheduled to release more later this month. To be sure, brave individuals like Pardon Attorney Ed Martin have urged the Department to implement President Trump’s Orders, but the Department’s position remains that these autopen commutations are valid. We’re trying to stop it. For four years, this country operated completely out of order with its Constitution, which vests executive power in one man, and not one autopen directed and operated by unelected bureaucrats and special interests.

You can see hundreds of photos of Torres del Paine before you go and still be surprised by how much of the park has nothing to do with the famous towers. There are turquoise lakes, glaciers, waterfalls, open grasslands and lenga forests. Guanacos graze near the road. Condors ride the wind above the mountains. Depending on the hour, the Paine Massif can fill the horizon or disappear almost completely behind clouds. The three granite towers are the image everyone knows, but they’re only one part of the place. Torres del Paine National Park sits in southern Chile, where the Andes meet the Patagonian steppe. The park covers more than 227,000 hectares and has been part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1978. Glaciers carved much of what you see today, and ice still runs through the story of the landscape. People were moving through this part of Patagonia long before hikers started arriving with trekking poles and backpacks. The Aónikenk, often called Tehuelche, traveled through the region for thousands of years. Ranching came much later, and large estancias eventually spread across land that now belongs to the park. Sheep, horses and ranch workers were here before refugios and marked trails. The national park was created in 1959 and expanded in the decades that followed. You can still see bits of the ranching past in old buildings, fences and horses along the road. Most trips begin in Puerto Natales. I’d stay there the night before heading into the park rather than treating it as somewhere to sleep between a flight and a bus. The town sits on the water with mountains in the distance, and it’s a good place to have dinner, buy anything you forgot and check your gear one last time. Patagonian lamb shows up on plenty of menus, along with seafood from southern Chile. The drive north is where the trip really starts. Buildings become less frequent. The road cuts through broad stretches of grassland. Guanacos begin appearing in the fields, sometimes close enough to the road that traffic slows down for them. Then, eventually, the mountains show up in the distance. That first view is worth paying attention to. Wildlife is easier to see here than I expected. Guanacos are common. Rheas move through the open country. Foxes live in the park, and condors can sometimes be spotted circling high above the valleys. Pumas are here too, though seeing one usually takes luck, patience or a guide who knows where to look. A lot of people come specifically for the W Trek. The route connects several of the park’s best-known areas, including Base Torres, French Valley and Grey Glacier, and most hikers take about four or five days to complete it. If you like multi-day hiking, it’s an obvious way to see a large part of the park without spending your days getting in and out of a vehicle. The Base Torres hike can also be done on its own. It’s a long day. The trail climbs through the Ascencio Valley, passes through forest and ends with a steep section over rocks before you reach the glacial lake beneath the towers. On a clear day, the view at the top is exactly the one that probably made you want to come here. Of course, Patagonia may have other plans. You can leave under blue skies and arrive with the towers hidden behind cloud. An hour later they might be visible again. Weather changes quickly enough that there’s not much point obsessing over a forecast days in advance. Layers matter. So does a waterproof jacket. The wind is harder to appreciate until you experience it. Patagonia is famous for it, but “windy” doesn’t really describe those moments when a gust hits hard enough to make you adjust your footing on the trail. You’ll also notice trees that have spent their lives growing in one direction. The good news is that you don’t need to hike the W, or even spend every day on a long trail, to see Torres del Paine well. A lot of the park is accessible by road and shorter walks. Salto Grande is an easy stop. Water rushes through a narrow channel between Lake Nordenskjöld and Lake Pehoé, and from there you can continue toward viewpoints of the Cuernos del Paine. The Cuernos look very different from the towers. Their dark upper sections sit above lighter granite walls, and from some angles they’re the mountains I’d rather photograph. Lake Pehoé is close by and deserves time of its own. On the right day, the water turns an almost unreasonable shade of blue-green. The mountains rise behind it, and there are places along the road where you’ll probably pull over even though you hadn’t planned to stop. Grey Glacier is on the western side of the park. It flows down from the Southern Patagonian Ice Field into Grey Lake. Once you see it, the broad valleys and glacial lakes you’ve been passing start to make more sense. Ice shaped much of this place, and here you can still watch part of that story unfolding. There are hiking routes toward viewpoints of the glacier, and boat trips cross Grey Lake for a closer look. Depending on conditions, pieces of ice float in the water between the boat and the glacier. That part of the park feels different from the open country farther east. This is something I’d pay attention to throughout the trip. Torres del Paine changes surprisingly quickly as you move around it. The eastern side opens into Patagonian steppe. Forest becomes more common near the mountains. One lake can be deep blue, another turquoise, another gray beneath the clouds. Rivers run through valleys that seem almost empty. An hour in the car can take you through several versions of Patagonia. That’s why three full days would be my minimum even if you aren’t doing the W Trek. Four is better if the schedule allows. You could spend a day on the Base Torres hike, another around Grey Lake and the western side of the park, and another around Lake Pehoé, Salto Grande and shorter walks. The extra time gives you room to change plans when the weather turns. Where you stay makes a noticeable difference. Puerto Natales has more restaurants, hotels and services, and staying there can keep costs down. The downside is spending more time each day getting to and from the park. Staying inside or near Torres del Paine costs more, but you wake up much closer to the trails and viewpoints. If I could split the trip, I’d spend the first or last night in Puerto Natales and the rest closer to the park. Anyone hiking overnight should sort out refugios or campsites well in advance during the busy season. It’s also worth checking current trail conditions and park rules shortly before arriving, because Patagonia has a way of making plans made six months earlier feel provisional. For most first-time visitors, the warmer months are the easiest time to come. Late spring through early fall in the Southern Hemisphere brings longer daylight and better odds for hiking, although it also brings more people. “Summer” is still a relative term down here. Pack the rain jacket. By the end of a few days, the famous towers may not even be the thing you remember most clearly. It might be a line of guanacos moving across a hillside. The sound of the wind against the car. A glacier appearing across a lake. An empty stretch of road with the Paine Massif slowly getting larger in front of you. Those moments are harder to plan, which is probably why they stick. Come for Base Torres if that’s what first caught your attention. See Grey Glacier. Stop at Lake Pehoé. Hike as much as your legs and the weather allow. But don’t spend the whole trip racing from one famous view to the next. Some of my favorite stretches would probably be the drives between them: old ranch country, open steppe, guanacos scattered across the hills and mountains that keep appearing and disappearing as the clouds move through. You’ll take plenty of pictures in Torres del Paine. Every once in a while, leave the camera in the bag. If you like traveling this way....understanding the history, landscape and people that shaped a place....that’s what I write about in the Timeless Traveler. Travel with a little more soul.

Ice shaped much of this place, and here you can still watch part of that story unfolding. There are hiking routes toward viewpoints of the glacier, and boat trips cross Grey Lake for a closer look. Depending on conditions, pieces of ice float in the water between the boat and the glacier. That part of the park feels different from the open country farther east. This is something I’d pay attention to throughout the trip. Torres del Paine changes surprisingly quickly as you move around it. The eastern side opens into Patagonian steppe. Forest becomes more common near the mountains. One lake can be deep blue, another turquoise, another gray beneath the clouds. Rivers run through valleys that seem almost empty. An hour in the car can take you through several versions of Patagonia. That’s why three full days would be my minimum even if you aren’t doing the W Trek. Four is better if the schedule allows. You could spend a day on the Base Torres hike, another around Grey Lake and the western side of the park, and another around Lake Pehoé, Salto Grande and shorter walks. The extra time gives you room to change plans when the weather turns. Where you stay makes a noticeable difference. Puerto Natales has more restaurants, hotels and services, and staying there can keep costs down. The downside is spending more time each day getting to and from the park. Staying inside or near Torres del Paine costs more, but you wake up much closer to the trails and viewpoints. If I could split the trip, I’d spend the first or last night in Puerto Natales and the rest closer to the park. Anyone hiking overnight should sort out refugios or campsites well in advance during the busy season. It’s also worth checking current trail conditions and park rules shortly before arriving, because Patagonia has a way of making plans made six months earlier feel provisional. For most first-time visitors, the warmer months are the easiest time to come. Late spring through early fall in the Southern Hemisphere brings longer daylight and better odds for hiking, although it also brings more people. “Summer” is still a relative term down here. Pack the rain jacket. By the end of a few days, the famous towers may not even be the thing you remember most clearly. It might be a line of guanacos moving across a hillside. The sound of the wind against the car. A glacier appearing across a lake. An empty stretch of road with the Paine Massif slowly getting larger in front of you. Those moments are harder to plan, which is probably why they stick. Come for Base Torres if that’s what first caught your attention. See Grey Glacier. Stop at Lake Pehoé. Hike as much as your legs and the weather allow. But don’t spend the whole trip racing from one famous view to the next. Some of my favorite stretches would probably be the drives between them: old ranch country, open steppe, guanacos scattered across the hills and mountains that keep appearing and disappearing as the clouds move through. You’ll take plenty of pictures in Torres del Paine. Every once in a while, leave the camera in the bag. If you like traveling this way....understanding the history, landscape and people that shaped a place....that’s what I write about in the Timeless Traveler. Travel with a little more soul.

.Christian Rivera (el que dijo que KOI era un equipo de mierda y se dedicaba a acosar a los jugadores) me llama nena en su stream, me dice que no tengo idea de lol y que soy un cagón. Obviando la fantasmada histórica, vamos a hablar un poco de mí y de este estafador: 👇 Lo voy a hacer en inglés para que puedan salir todos sus fanboys (tres o cuatro) y para que no tenga la excusa de la traducción. Yo no necesito esconderme. Le dais al translate y pilláis rápidamente el flow. As for the question of who am I, I think it is the mark of a moron to expect your name to carry your takes. Anyone can and will make plenty of mistakes when talking about complicated and opinionated subjects such as League. I feel context is necessary if you are coming late to what is quickly becoming a shouting match. My beef with Dom is based on me accusing him of basically being a grifter. Someone pretending to understand competitive League at a high level to sell gambling content to unaware kids after, in one of his many desperate attempts to claw his way back into pseudo-relevance, he declared KOI players to be "shit" and made this a running joke within his fandom. These alleged "shit players" in a "shit team" made finals on their first split and worlds on their first year. After upgrading their midlane to Jojopyun, have just now won LEC and made MSI. 2/5 finals, 2/4 internationals and a 3-1 LEC split finals against Cap's G2. Seems to me that, after combining defamatory language with such an ill-informed professional blunder (I don't consider him a analyst but he does, so it is a professional blunder from his pretended pov), it would fall on Dominate to give a proper public explanation. Instead, he hides on his stream while accusing others of cowardice. Let's put a pin on that and come back to the subject of what have I ever done (a weak whataboutism that barely qualifies as an excuse for running a harassment campaign against rookie players). I started taking League seriously and joined the scene as a writer in 2017. By the end of that year I managed to join Mad Lions, a team that would find great success without me during 2018, being that I left within the span of two weeks. After an argument with then coach Araneae, I became disillusioned with the competitive side of League. In this argument my head coach, a veteran player and unarguably successful coach before and since, was adamant about the idea that lane matchups decide strongside. I argued that it is actually jungle windows of play that determine who should get to push the wave. Today, we all know it's a bit of a mixed bag, and winning matchups have evolved much beyond who gets to crash any given wave. We agreed that both of us were people that have a hard time letting go of our opinions and parted ways amicably. To me, what makes League a worthwhile pursuit is exploring the interesting ideas that can be built through it, not necessarily the drive to win. I left the team wanting to use content as a means to an end, as after that argument, I became obsessed with understanding the competitive jungle. It took me a year and a half, and you can call it luck, but I'm actually quite proud of the narratives I was able to push building around that knowledge. By MSI 2019, attended by at the time world champion "Ning" and mechanical prodigy "Clid", I pushed Jankos as the clear best jungler of the tournament. I understand the English speaking community has no way of knowing this, but I faced significant backlash for putting a western player above these two greats. His cover style of jungle allowed G2 to greedily succeed in getting the most of their flex-heavy drafts that often landed them on the winning side of matchups, and coasted them into a midgame where they found no match. G2 took that tournament and set a record for the quickest international finals. By the time EU legend Jankos arrived at worlds, many had them as the key player/mvp that made 2019 G2 work. This time, even though most experts had Clid as clear top 1 jungler and I had just found success (maybe luck?) through Jankos, I actually pushed Tian as the top 1. Admittedly, this one is kind of murky, since it was Doinb's understanding of midlane windows that actually had Tian play the peak of his career. Still, the fact remains that FPX brought the best jungle/river play system and ended up taking the tournament. Finally, after a clear-cut exceptional Canyon that dominated 2020 and pushed the limits of what jungle efficiency is (hard to argue against his inherent quality nor was I ever inclined to do so), I had Wei as my top jungler for 2021's MSI. This time, professional junglers (with whom I had an amicable relationship, this was not in bad faith) wrote to me privately, joking about how they were expecting for the tournament to end and Canyon to stomp Wei so they could laugh at me publically and quote-RT my tierlist. I was committing the sacrilege of putting some chinese guy above the best jungler to ever play the game, in the tournament following his peak performance. Sadly, their time never came. Wei's mastery of damage limits and unique skill with the Rumble pick (which was disgustingly broken, even if only one guy could actually play it, never mind what Phreak's winrate analysis told you) made Canyon's Morgana spam look disappointing to say the least. Bear in mind that Canyon is still in my mind the best jungler to ever play the game, he just wasn't in his best form at that particular MSI. Call it luck if you want, but bringing three dark horse takes in a row and have them all pay you back is no easy feat. Ask Dom how his KOI take is doing, I don't think he's too happy with it. I can't sit here with you and spend all day exploring every bullseye I've ever gotten (there isn't enough room in a tweet), but I can tell you a few more. Had Fnatic becoming a dysfunctional team over Razork´s transition from selfish jungler into adc lapdog, recently confirmed by Vladi in chat (I think he is a bit better than Dom at the game). Had "Nisqy will never make an international tournament ever again" after he parted ways with Elyoya, while other content creators were pushing the opposite. We had to sit for years and pretend he was enabling Elyoya to look good and not the other way around. Nisqy seems like a fun guy, I'm actually low-key a fan of his, but I don't build my takes on whose dick I can suck deep enough so that they might show up on my stream and give me credibility by association (unlike other people). I had 2023 T1 beating JDG when the narrative was JDG's royal road. How? Because since MSI 2022 I've been pushing every team to study T1's early vision system. Like, I literally said over and over again, whoever is not studying this team's early vision system is hard trolling. Recorded several videos on it. This is before Faker ever made world finals against DRX. Back when I was saying T1 had revolutionized competitive League of Legends, accusations were that T1 were washed and chokers (remember which side of that narrative jungle soloq genius IWD was on?). After they made three World's finals in a row and won two of them, it seems like I was onto something, wasn't I? I also made a very controversial video in 2022 that titles "The Second Korean Age", speaking about how T1's advancement in vision systems would push Korea ahead for years to come. It was pretty controversial back then, in 2022, when China had won 3/5 of the last world championships. Now Korea has won three years in a row, not so controversial anymore. Lucky again. However, my proudest work is not something that seems that impressive at first glance. It's called "Pyramids towards 13.19". It's a work that explores the evolution of season 13's World's metagame, drawing a paralellism between understanding a patch and the religions in the lost city of Teotihuacán, wherein they'd build towards the sky in order to get a bit closer to the gods without any possible end to that process. Just as a side note, I also have a video about how laning between turrets is sleeper op and Riot will have to nerf it eventually. T1 and some Chinese teams were toying with it last summer, but everyone focused on swaps instead (as they were easier to build and had a more solid body of working examples). I recorded my theory in 2023 MSI and watched the best teams in the world converge on it a year later. There is more stuff like this, but again, I can't list it all. Not bad for a nobody, I wonder how that compares to knowing what item is op on Volibear in terms of respectable and interesting knowledge of the game. I often get professional coaching offers, including at the LEC level, despite only having two weeks of experience on the job. I've made a habit of declining them in order to keep working on what I consider to be interesting. Other than that, I've built quite a successful private media platform centered around analytical pro League discussion (that thing everyone tells you no one actually cares for) in a dwindling ecosystem where no one understands what people care about enough to pay for. I'd say that's pretty impressive in and of itself. As far as I can see, your numbers keep going down, so maybe I can help you with that too. So at this point I wonder, at which point am I allowed to ask what has Dominate ever done? Other than harassing players, a pattern older than his beef with KOI. I remember he used to gloat and act like an absolute turd, reacting to Rekkles' tears for YouTube views back when he had that string of public breakdowns. Is this a moral standard on which he gets to call me out on the crime of (and I wish I was kidding), posting a screenshot without context and then defending the Kcorp player "Vladi" in it to my Spanish-speaking fans? What a fucking ass I am. I wish I could harass kids online, sell gambling to minors, and bully people having public breakdowns so I could have the legitimacy of a real, tried-and-true voice of the community. The absolute gall to call me a pussy while you hide behind reaction content disguised as insight, a parasite of the co-streaming era of content, while I put my best foot forward building interesting stories that no one is talking about and get proven right; over and over. How is that KOI take aging mate, are you proud of that one? Where are your deep explanations? The actual content, where is it? Other than ragebaiting I mean. I'd really love to check it out, since you are sooo good at clicking with Udyr on the NA server. I want to remind everyone, as this can't be stressed enough, that this whole beef is about a guy making a shit (joke intended) take. Posing as a respectable professional to sell gambling while completely uninformed, driving a harassment campaing against players he knows nothing about, and then being butthurt that some Spanish guy calls him out on his pattern of abuse. You see, my mistake was that he can get Challenger on Dr. Mundo or whatever the fuck he plays, which somehow turns this into a debate and not someone being called out for acting like an absolute asshole. Then it invalidates my whole career, as I don't speak 3rd grade English natively and am unwilling to leave behind my people who supported me from the beginning. All I know about you, Dom, is that you are a bully who seems to enjoy it. Believe it or not, I'm not eager to get into a screaming match while I teach you league for free, all while joining your stream that averages similar numbers (while having streaming rights for years) as mine does broadcasting a stopwatch whenever I feel like streaming once in a blue moon. I don't think it takes courage to do that. It takes pity, of which I don't have enough for you, or perhaps a morbid curiosity for whatever might you say when actually confronted by a human. But I don't have that either, since I already know what you are going to say, the same thing you always say. "One time, ten years ago, I almost was"

Ten Takeaways From 10/21/25 ONE) NBA on NBC Hello, friends. Welcome to the 2025-26 NBA season. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? A whole lot has changed since we last spoke. We were reintroduced to the NBA on NBC. Can’t believe it’s been almost 25 years, but here we are again. They absolutely crushed it after having some early audio difficulties. I get how cliché it is, but I seriously got chills once “Roundball Rock” started playing. Thought Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady had contagious energy in the pre-game coverage. The graphics are clean and straightforward. Really like the team fouls tracking in the score bug—just a very pleasant experience. Looking forward to the “Prime” experience. God, can’t believe it costs $650 to watch basketball now. We need to talk about the MJ segment, though. If you’ve been living under a rock, NBC shocked the world and somehow convinced Michael Jordan to sign on as a “special contributor”. “Insights to Excellence” is sadly everything I thought it would be… nothing. He wasn’t in the studio or anything. Looked like some pre-recorded interview with Mike Tirico from who knows when at his house, talking about why he’s come out of hiding. The thing lasted about three and a half minutes. “To pay it forward. I had the obligation to basketball.” - MJ on the decision to join NBC Okay Mike. Hoping for some actual insight in future recordings. TWO) Champs Are Here OKC received their rings and raised their banner before the game. Vibes were immaculate. Dillon Jones was even in attendance. Good thing the Wizards waived him just in time for him to make his flight. Rockets weren’t having it, though. Ime Udoka said that they didn’t watch the ceremony and were instead focused on trying to ruin their night. Kevin Durant came out for warmups to loud boos, and so he booed them back. Everyone laughed. Meanwhile, Steven Adams still gets loud cheers because, well, who doesn’t love Steven Adams? It was a rough go-around for all Thunder not named Chet Holmgren (28 points, 11-17 FG) to start, especially SGA. He had just five points at the half on 40.0% shooting (2-5 FG), but you can only contain the league and Finals MVP for so long. He scored 24 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter and overtimes. What’s up with the four missed free throws (10-14 FT)? "I'm glad the guys enjoyed the ceremony. That's a great, great life event they had." - Mark Daigneault "It was surreal. I don't know how to describe it besides that. Seeing the banner raised was cool too... I'll remember it for the rest of my life." - SGA on the pregame ceremony THREE) Thunder Starters One of the more critical questions going into Opening Night was, “Who’s the 5th Thunder starter?” as we wait for JDub’s wrist to get right. SGA, Dort, Chet, and IHart felt obvious. Between Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace, I leaned Cason mainly because of the bigger picture. Didn’t make sense to start Alex after managing him all last year, but then he started in every preseason game he played. Had to give that some sort of credit (and we did). Well, they ended up doing what they did a lot last year: change it up midway. Wallace started, and then Caruso started the second half… for Hartenstein. Here we go again. Cason’s playmaking looks improved. Daigneault went 11 deep (!!!) in the first quarter. Rookie, Brooks Barnhizer was the fourth sub off the bench, played about two minutes, and was never seen again. Part of that reason is Ajay Mitchell, who checked in after him (for Shai). There’s been some buzz, going back to his standout Summer League (19.8 ppg, 5.3 apg, 4.8 rpg, 1.5 spg). He scored 12 of his 16 points in the second quarter. “Not surprised. He was playing like this before he got hurt last year.” - Mark Daigneault on Ajay Mitchell FOUR) Jumbo Lineup It’s not much of a surprise to see Udoka start with the Steven Adams/Alperen Sengun pairing after how dominant they looked at the end of last season (+29.9 net rating, 162 minutes)—especially given the matchup, with Holmgren and Hartenstein on the other side. The real shocker is how much they leaned into it. Alpi and Adams shared the court for over 30 minutes (+8). LIKE WTF?!!! This was Adams' first time touching 37 minutes since November 9, 2022. They did just sign him to a three-year extension. You’d think they might wanna be careful with their investment. The average height of this Rockets' starting lineup is 6'10 (Thompson, Durant, Smith, Sengun, Adams), LMAO FIVE) Alpi Dominance Continues Maybe what Sengun was doing at EuroBasket 2025 (21.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.0 spg, and 1.1 bpg) translates over? Not gonna lie, I certainly had my doubts, but no… he’s looking just as dominant (I know, one game). Alperen Sengun vs Thunder: 39 PTS 11 REB 7 AST 2 STL 5-8 3P (career-high) 10-11 FT 27.7% USG Yeah, I see it too. Second time in his career, he’s attempted eight threes. Dude averaged 1.2 attempts per game last year. The hitch in his shot appears to be gone, so hey, this could be real (doubt it). All I know is that if it is, it’ll do wonders for his ceiling on sites that reward threes (DK). Also, going 10 of 11 from the line is something worth paying attention to. He was a 69.2% free-throw shooter last season. On the flip side, Amen Thompson (18 pts, 4 reb, 5 ast) had seven attempts from behind the arc and missed them all. Sucks, but his shot still looks flat. There’s no lift. While we’re here on Thompson, he had to leave the game late because of cramps. SIX) The Reed Conundrum I’ll give Reed Sheppard (9 pts, 4 ast, 37.9% TS, 28 min) this; he’s a confident motherfucker, and I love that about him (in a cute way). It’s hilarious how many times he looked off KD in this game. He’s gonna have stretches where he’s feeling it and looks automatic, but is it really gonna be worth it if his defense looks this dreadful? He can’t stay in front of anyone. The Thunder hunted and won that matchup with ease all night. Amen getting cramped up in OT1 really salvaged his minutes, cause I didn’t think he was gonna see the court again. Again, I know it’s only one game, but a couple more performances like this and things could get ugly. SEVEN) KD Gets Away With One Or should that say gets away with none? Kevin Durant (23 points, 9 rebounds) made his Rockets debut, and there’re gonna be two things you take away from it. Why’d you trade for him again? He was pretty much non-existent when they needed him most down the stretch, with a 12.5 USG% in both OT’s. There shouldn’t have been a second overtime. KD was clearly seen calling for a timeout after a rebound with about a second left on the clock. The problem is, they didn’t have any–He Webber’d it. He should have been T’d up, giving the Thunder a free throw to potentially end the game. Zarba and his buddies even got together to talk it over once the buzzer sounded, but did nothing. Strange, but luckily, it didn’t end up mattering much since OKC won in the second overtime. “Kevin definitely called timeout 3 times… They just missed it.” - SGA The Thunder beat the Rockets 125-124. EIGHT) Kuminga Starts Gallagher and I both felt pretty confident (sounds so stupid saying that with Kerr) that had Mosey Moody been available for this one, he would have been named the fifth starter, but his calf’s still bothering him. Steve Kerr decided to start Jonathan Kuminga (17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 33 minutes) instead, rewarding him for a strong preseason. There might be some more rewards coming because, whew, this is exactly what they’ve been wanting to see from him for the last couple of years, especially the boards. You wouldn’t know it from looking at Luka’s box score, but JK did about as well as you could defending him; he made his threes (4-6 3PT) and consistently found the open man. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that he starts again against Denver on Thursday Let the showcasing begin. “When you ask for opportunity, you must deliver. He’s been very vocal about his opportunity and he delivered.” - Draymond Green on Jonathan Kuminga “I just wanna help JK be great… We’ve been kickin' it. Hanging out. Watching film and just working on our game together. I know how great he wants to be and how great he can be.” - Jimmy Butler on mentoring Jonathan Kuminga NINE) Jimmy Being Jimmy One of the funnier moments of the night came post-game, when Jimmy Butler talked about a bet he made with Draymond Green. The wager is that he’ll have a better free-throw percentage than Steph Curry this season. Deadass, hahaha. He admitted that it’s probably a bad bet but I still love that he does this type of shit. Two years ago, he said he was playfully aiming to shoot 50.0% from three. He obviously didn’t hit that mark, but he did shoot a career-best 41.4% that season. If you’re wondering how the bet is looking to start after Game 1: Jimmy Butler: 16-16 FT (100.0%) Steph Curry: 8-8 FT (100.0%) Will keep you updated as the season goes. Jesus, 16 free throw attempts. “No chance.” - Steph Curry when asked if Jimmy Butler has any shot at winning the bet Before we’re done with GS, a shoutout to Will Richard (5 points, 14 minutes). We tease Kerr all the time about playing these randos, but this kid looks like he can actually play. TEN) All Luka and Austin The Lakers are gonna struggle hard while LeBron’s out. They just don’t have any other guys on the team that can create. Luka Doncic (43 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 34.7% USG) and Austin Reaves (26 points, 9 assists, 30.1% USG) scored or assisted on 97 of the Lakers' 109 points. So wild. Marcus Smart (9 points) was the first sub off the bench. As for DeAndre Ayton’s debut (10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 turnovers), let’s just say it didn’t take long for the Lakers’ fan base to turn on him. Poor guy looked lost out there. "We just started. This is probably the second game we've played together." - Rui Hachimura on what the difference was for the Lakers "The trend I see is that we continue to be a terrible third-quarter team." - JJ Redick The Warriors beat the Lakers 119-109.

Ten Takeaways From 10/21/25 ONE) NBA on NBC Hello, friends. Welcome to the 2025-26 NBA season. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? A whole lot has changed since we last spoke. We were reintroduced to the NBA on NBC. Can’t believe it’s been almost 25 years, but here we are again. They absolutely crushed it after having some early audio difficulties. I get how cliché it is, but I seriously got chills once “Roundball Rock” started playing. Thought Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady had contagious energy in the pre-game coverage. The graphics are clean and straightforward. Really like the team fouls tracking in the score bug—just a very pleasant experience. Looking forward to the “Prime” experience. God, can’t believe it costs $650 to watch basketball now. We need to talk about the MJ segment, though. If you’ve been living under a rock, NBC shocked the world and somehow convinced Michael Jordan to sign on as a “special contributor”. “Insights to Excellence” is sadly everything I thought it would be… nothing. He wasn’t in the studio or anything. Looked like some pre-recorded interview with Mike Tirico from who knows when at his house, talking about why he’s come out of hiding. The thing lasted about three and a half minutes. “To pay it forward. I had the obligation to basketball.” - MJ on the decision to join NBC Okay Mike. Hoping for some actual insight in future recordings. TWO) Champs Are Here OKC received their rings and raised their banner before the game. Vibes were immaculate. Dillon Jones was even in attendance. Good thing the Wizards waived him just in time for him to make his flight. Rockets weren’t having it, though. Ime Udoka said that they didn’t watch the ceremony and were instead focused on trying to ruin their night. Kevin Durant came out for warmups to loud boos, and so he booed them back. Everyone laughed. Meanwhile, Steven Adams still gets loud cheers because, well, who doesn’t love Steven Adams? It was a rough go-around for all Thunder not named Chet Holmgren (28 points, 11-17 FG) to start, especially SGA. He had just five points at the half on 40.0% shooting (2-5 FG), but you can only contain the league and Finals MVP for so long. He scored 24 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter and overtimes. What’s up with the four missed free throws (10-14 FT)? "I'm glad the guys enjoyed the ceremony. That's a great, great life event they had." - Mark Daigneault "It was surreal. I don't know how to describe it besides that. Seeing the banner raised was cool too... I'll remember it for the rest of my life." - SGA on the pregame ceremony THREE) Thunder Starters One of the more critical questions going into Opening Night was, “Who’s the 5th Thunder starter?” as we wait for JDub’s wrist to get right. SGA, Dort, Chet, and IHart felt obvious. Between Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace, I leaned Cason mainly because of the bigger picture. Didn’t make sense to start Alex after managing him all last year, but then he started in every preseason game he played. Had to give that some sort of credit (and we did). Well, they ended up doing what they did a lot last year: change it up midway. Wallace started, and then Caruso started the second half… for Hartenstein. Here we go again. Cason’s playmaking looks improved. Daigneault went 11 deep (!!!) in the first quarter. Rookie, Brooks Barnhizer was the fourth sub off the bench, played about two minutes, and was never seen again. Part of that reason is Ajay Mitchell, who checked in after him (for Shai). There’s been some buzz, going back to his standout Summer League (19.8 ppg, 5.3 apg, 4.8 rpg, 1.5 spg). He scored 12 of his 16 points in the second quarter. “Not surprised. He was playing like this before he got hurt last year.” - Mark Daigneault on Ajay Mitchell FOUR) Jumbo Lineup It’s not much of a surprise to see Udoka start with the Steven Adams/Alperen Sengun pairing after how dominant they looked at the end of last season (+29.9 net rating, 162 minutes)—especially given the matchup, with Holmgren and Hartenstein on the other side. The real shocker is how much they leaned into it. Alpi and Adams shared the court for over 30 minutes (+8). LIKE WTF?!!! This was Adams' first time touching 37 minutes since November 9, 2022. They did just sign him to a three-year extension. You’d think they might wanna be careful with their investment. The average height of this Rockets' starting lineup is 6'10 (Thompson, Durant, Smith, Sengun, Adams), LMAO FIVE) Alpi Dominance Continues Maybe what Sengun was doing at EuroBasket 2025 (21.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.0 spg, and 1.1 bpg) translates over? Not gonna lie, I certainly had my doubts, but no… he’s looking just as dominant (I know, one game). Alperen Sengun vs Thunder: 39 PTS 11 REB 7 AST 2 STL 5-8 3P (career-high) 10-11 FT 27.7% USG Yeah, I see it too. Second time in his career, he’s attempted eight threes. Dude averaged 1.2 attempts per game last year. The hitch in his shot appears to be gone, so hey, this could be real (doubt it). All I know is that if it is, it’ll do wonders for his ceiling on sites that reward threes (DK). Also, going 10 of 11 from the line is something worth paying attention to. He was a 69.2% free-throw shooter last season. On the flip side, Amen Thompson (18 pts, 4 reb, 5 ast) had seven attempts from behind the arc and missed them all. Sucks, but his shot still looks flat. There’s no lift. While we’re here on Thompson, he had to leave the game late because of cramps. SIX) The Reed Conundrum I’ll give Reed Sheppard (9 pts, 4 ast, 37.9% TS, 28 min) this; he’s a confident motherfucker, and I love that about him (in a cute way). It’s hilarious how many times he looked off KD in this game. He’s gonna have stretches where he’s feeling it and looks automatic, but is it really gonna be worth it if his defense looks this dreadful? He can’t stay in front of anyone. The Thunder hunted and won that matchup with ease all night. Amen getting cramped up in OT1 really salvaged his minutes, cause I didn’t think he was gonna see the court again. Again, I know it’s only one game, but a couple more performances like this and things could get ugly. SEVEN) KD Gets Away With One Or should that say gets away with none?
