quick hits 2/?
👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 Happy WednesDave, everyone!
Folks liked the first quick hits post so in my role as Figurer-Outer in Chief, I have decided that henceforth, Wednesdays will be for QH posts.
It has been written, so it shall be done.
Below please find some quick (weird and/or fun and/or wtf) hits to fill the moments in your day that would otherwise be filled with the dulcet tones of honking if you live in a city and mooing if you don't.
NB: New Twitter is a dumpster fire and I hate linking out to it —— but the fact remains that a lot of the media organizations (legacy and indie) share posts there. As our goal is to bring our readers the best stuff I will hold my nose and link to that hellsite when appropriate.
😳😳😳 This is a link to a press release from the Department of Justice and/or the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. The headline on the press release is Former NBA Star, Suspected Israeli Crime Figure Arrested on Federal Indictment Alleging High-Stakes Illegal Poker Games at Encino Mansion. I already anticipate not watching the shitty doc Netflix is invariably going to make about this. (justice.gov)
🏀🏀🏀 For the folks that remember what me and my buddies refer to as "jpeg summer," NBA Top Shot is now selling its NFT "moments" via vending machines in Japan. (Decrypt)
🏀🏀🏀 Did you watch the Minnesota Lynx get jobbed by the refs in the WNBA Finals? If so, you might like this t-shirt (which is itself a play on this t-shirt) cleverly done up in the New York Liberty's colours —— or so I thought; they got here today and the letters were white and I was apparently seeing a deep cut diss that wasn't actually there. (Etsy)
🏀🏀🏀 Staying with the W, a lot of the ASG merch is on sale over at the WNBA store. I copped three t-shirts the other day, actually. (WNBA)
⚾⚾⚾ ICYMI, Seranthony Domínguez was traded from Baltimore to Toronto in the middle of a double-header between the teams yesterday. In Game 1, he was an Oriole. In Game 2, he was a Blue Jay —— and struck out two guys he was teammates with mere hours earlier. (Twitter/MLB)
