It seems impossible that there is a real place that has that, and that 350,000 people have that. Miami Beach is a real-life miracle.

For All the World to See, This is Who the American People Are
It is who we always have been.
As the Chief Justice put it, "Having just fought a revolution motivated in large part by taxes imposed on them" by the King of England without their consent...
The most absurd cause of revolution in the history of humanity. Born in a temper tantrum, die in a temper tantrum.
And on...
[Trump's racist Obama meme is] something which had, for many years, been confined to the dustbin of history, while still very much a part of the vocabulary of white supremacists.
But something has changed.
Maybe it's social media, maybe it's something else, but something has changed. We are in a new reality where, for more than 12 hours, Trump's White House thought this was OK.

Trump: "I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine. Nobody knew that that was at the end."
Trump said he looks at "thousands of things" when he spoke to reporters on Air Force One en route to Palm Beach.
Cle. is +1200 to win the NBA title, which means if you put down $100 and they win it all, you make $1200.
I don't give advice to adults, I especially don't give advice on futures investing, and I have never bet even fun money on the NBA, but I am going to sleep on plopping down a dime on those 12-1 odds. The NBA season is so long and there are so many teams that I can see the Houses overlooking Cleveland, they're only third in the Least, their Ignore-November-December for the late and post-season was breathtaking in its recklessness; or bettirs dismiss them off their last two flameouts in the playoffs. In other words, I don't think bettors are paying sufficient attention to them despite their current streak. They're a sleeper and gamblers are sleeping on them.
Cleveland has Donovan Mitchell, they have the DPOY, Evan Mobley, they have Jarret Allen, they have De'Andre Hunter, Jaylon Tyson, Sam Merrill, the have COTY Kenny Atkinson. And at the trade deadline they got...Beard.
TO ME, an idiot blogger, Cleveland reminds me of the breathtaking Manchester City Centurians. That City team was a superhuman MACHINE that gave me butterflies following them and watching highlights. You got the feeling playing City then, that at any moment they could bury you in goals and you could get humiliated 6-0. They were scary--AND I AM A DIE-NEVER CITY FAN!
Cleveland is not that GOAT. They haven't won shit. But last season's team OBLITERATED the "Heat" in literally historic terms. These mid-season "Cavaliers" would scare me like those great City teams did if I had to play them. There is no team save OKC who can keep up the scoring with Mitchell and Harden and the rest, no team besides the "Thunder" who can defend them. And on the other end they have the DPOY.
12-1 odds for this team to host the Larry O'Brien trophy is a siren call, in my opinion.

FT Pigeons (dropping out of air but not intentionally) 97 MIAMI HI-Cs 128!
Hi-Cs get their 30th win. .526 win % as decimal --> 43-39 record.
That's 2W for only the second time since Jan. 1. We have a High Ceiling to make it 3W tomorrow night in Bang Bus against the tanking Memphibians.
Tyler Herro kept up his point-a-minute pace all game, finishing with 24 in 23.
In the Least the Hi-Cs are a solid 8th, 1/2 game behind Disney, 1 game behind Phila. in 6th (last playoff spot), 3.5 games ahead of 9th Pigeons.
Most importantly in the SouthLeast, we are in second place, 1/2 game out of first (Diz).
Oh my goodness, Queens have the lead over Sensitive City! 77-74, 6:23 3Q
The KK kids are putting the team on their shoulders. Kneuppel 27 pts, 26', Kalkbrenner 10 pts, 11 rebs, 24'.
HT: Hotlanta 51 Miam-a 57
The story of this game at the half is Tyler Herro. Off the bench in his first game back from broken ribs, he has a game-high 16 pts in 13' on 5/8 (2/3). My favorite Miamian Davion Mitchell has 4 rebs, 4 asts, and 3 blocks. He does everything, including good defense.
Pigeons 16 Hi-Cs 29, End 1Q
I looked up if Pigeons are tanking. No. Taking a look at the Southeast standings:
1. Orlando
2. Hi-Cs -1
3. Pigeons -3.5
4. Queens -4
5. Lizards -14
You can see the significance of this game. It just means more in the Southeast.
Sensitive City Crowning Queens 35-49
Sensitively, the "Cavaliers" are my dark horse to win the Larry O'Brien.

Bum Trump: Unhinged, Lunatic Goes After Supreme Court
"I’m ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country. They’re just being fools and lap dogs. They’re very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution. It’s my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think. I can assure you, the Democrats on the court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote no. They also are a frankly, a disgrace to our nation, those justices. They’re an automatic no, no matter how good a case you have. No, you can’t knock their loyalty. It’s one thing you can do with some of our people. I think it’s an embarrassment to their families, the two of them.” (Justices Gorsuch and Barrett)
Trump is a bum. He has been a bum his whole life.

FT Zollner blew out Mamdani City in Peoples Square Garden 126-111
Sensitive City tore the "Nets" to shreds 112-84. It was worse than that. Sensitives led by 43. The whole 4th quarter was garbage time.
Pigeons shat on Seven Foot Sixers in Filthydelphia 117-111.
H-Town beat Queens in Chazz 105-101. Rockettes much the better record, and from the West, but only 6-4 last 10. Queens now 8-2.
In the Least, Sensitive City keeps climbing. They are now in a statistical tie with Mamdani City 7 games behind Z one game behind 2nd-place Beans. Queens are in the Play-In now only .5 behind Pigeons in 9th. Without playing (tomorrow at Pigeons, Saturday in Bang Bus agin Memphibians), the High-Cs closed to withing .5 of Disney in seventh, 1.5 from 6th and Filthydelphia. Probably best we don't play any games.
Night. USMLE tomorrow 8:30 wakeup, 9:30 start.

Sensitive City is blasting the Rust away in the Pawn Shop at HT 70-48. I know, it's just Rust, but Sensitive City has had a plan all season long to ignore results in November and December to prioritize a strong finishing kick and the playoffs. Well, look at them now. 9-1 in past ten, 13 games above .500., and now with James Harden. They're still 7 games back of Zollner, who have been consistent all season, (8-2 last ten), but if the "Pistons" misfire just a leetle, Sensitive City reasonably could catch them and win the Least. Look out for Sensitive City.

Former Prince Andrew Arrested in Epstein Case
"Before he came back three doctors came into the room."
"I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another's company and aid in consultation. A doctor who cannot take out your appendix properly will recommend to you a doctor who will be unable to remove your tonsils with success. These were three such doctors."
Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms (95)
