Doctor: Have you been under any unusual stress lately?
*Flashback to blood-curdling screams. Racing upstairs at superhuman speed. Expecting to find my daughter’s dismembered body. Discovering the fruit fly in her water cup.*
Me: Nope, nothing out of the ordinary.
Y'all, literally the only reason Kuminga would do option 2 is because he likes it here. He's been in a lot of situations that Were Not For Him and this is the first place that is. Dude very clearly wants to be wanted. Question is if he wants the money more. (No shame if he does.)
There are two paths to the Wolves re-signing Jonathan Kuminga -- and given the way he's playing right now, both seem like long shots.
1. The Wolves shed enough salary elsewhere to get $16M below the 1st apron, so they are able to offer Kuminga the $16M mid-level exception (up to 4 years, $70M if he wants to sign long-term).
- Problem with this one is if Kuminga has offers for more than $16M the Wolves do not have the means to match that market value. Signing Kuminga to the mid-level exception would also hard-cap the Wolves at the 1st apron.
2. Kuminga signs another 1-year, cheap deal with non-bird rights ($7.5M -- 120% of his current salary) or with the mid-level exception ($16M), with the idea that after another year he would acquire what are called early bird rights that come with being on a team for two seasons. If Kuminga gets those early bird rights, starting in the 2028-29 season, the Wolves could offer him a 4-year, $125M contract.
- Problem with this one is that it would require the patience to turn down bigger money and longer term offers next summer. The Wolves also already have $154M dedicated to just Edwards ($56M), Ball ($46M), McDaniels ($30M) and Dosunmu ($22M) for the 28-29 season. Signing Kuminga to that deal would put the Wolves over the salary cap for that season with just five contracts. And would that be enough for Kuminga? In 28-29, that 4-year, $125M contract will be about half of the max he could get offered on the market as an unrestricted free agent.

Today is a very special day for Mass Effect fans.
We've worked incredibly hard to bring together most of the original Mass Effect trilogy's voice cast to share a very important message with you.
We need to #SaveMassEffect.

I hate to break it to this guy, since this is his pet issue, but not only is so-called "school choice" wildly unpopular in Texas, it's literally a big part of why Gina Hinojosa won in the first place. Rural Republicans flipped or stayed home in part because they never wanted the school voucher system to begin with and feared it would defund their small-town schools. Voters, particularly rural Republicans who voted Democratic for the first time in their lives, gave Hinojosa and the legislature a mandate to dismantle it.

The outpooring of love for Mass Effect is truly heartening. As a mass effect dev I can say the developers share your love. I truly hope that the IP and assets are spun off to a new company that will take good care of the franchise.
I lead the team that built mass effect's gameplay. I would be happy to help the next mass effect has awesome, authentic mass effect gameplay. Not looking for a job, just want to see another mass effect game with great gameplay.

Look I know I'm just crazy fancasting here.
I find myself wondering if Jonathan Kuminga, very uniquely, would rather play in a team culture he likes with teammates that want him and a coach that has put him in his inner echelon of players.

Connelly has long history of taking care of his guys. "We legally cannot offer you anything more than this" is a lot easier to stomach than "We don't think you're worth more than this" at these numbers.

"We want you, we do our best to take care of our players, you vibe with everyone on the team, and you have a job you know you can do well." That's not a compelling argument to most players, but JK has said things that suggest that's what he was looking for.

The thing I’ll never forget about @AbdulElSayed is that I met him at the ICE protests at the Whipple building in MN.
It was below 0. No press conference, no big speech. Minnesotans were fighting for our lives. And he stepped away from campaigning to be in solidarity with us.
Hey #knitting folks!
My mom made a bookmark – pattern mark? – idk, a thing to help you keep your spot when you set down your work.
I don't knit so I don't know if this is useful but it sounds useful to someone who doesn't knit. Check it out!

Numbers don’t lie, but Becka does.
I should absolutely be dropping this, but I also realized my math was slightly wrong yesterday and want to correct the record. And I got the TIME TODAY.
I also don’t take election denialism lightly. I’m an actual resident of south Minneapolis, and spent three months last winter resisting the unprecedented federal occupation of my city thanks to influencers spreading abject lies on the internet. I’m not doing that again because a failed city council candidate learned that feeding the right wing outrage machine is easier than getting a real job.
So let’s go through every claim of the absolute bullshit MAGA-style election denialism that is currently being propagated by an actual former Minneapolis elected official.
Wolves fan here: Bucks are my eastern conference team. I would absolutely hate them if we shared a conference, but we don't so it's an easy regional pull.

I don't care about the single-player stuff; Champions is literally designed to be multiplayer first.
But why on earth are the devs so allergic to the very concept of adding 6v6 Singles to the game? They don't have to make it the standard competitive format; just let it EXIST.
