    ***Official Political Discussion Thread***

    No. This is a silly narrative. Why would Dr. Jill be pushing him to stay in the race? She’s watching her husband get denigrated from every corner, when dropping out could mean cementing a legacy as a respected career servant. What’s her motive? The “oh Hunter needs daddy in office to avoid...

    OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Euro Cup and Copa America underway

    edit: resolved my question. Interesting they decided to give Jude a match ban in general.

    ***Official Political Discussion Thread***

    I agree with you that I don’t think Kamala’s political weakness is the only reason people are having consternation with Biden dropping out. But, I don’t think it’s just his family/pride. Sadly, I do think people are irrationally opposed to Kamala (maybe it’s the right’s consistent attacks on...

    Is Nike no longer as cool as it used to be?

    The sort of white folks that would buy a diff brand than Nike for political reasons are 1) the kind who buy a pair of sneakers once every three years and don’t replace em until they’re absolutely cooked beyond presentability, 2) not buying expensive pairs, and 3) were never cool to begin with...

    Is Nike no longer as cool as it used to be?

    Let whatever teeny bopper influencer start wearing an obscure Nike instead of some NBs and Nike will be back.

    Is Nike no longer as cool as it used to be?

    Nah, I disagree. This take heavily discounts how influence works. Dropping limited, super hyped shoes has significant trickle down effects. NTers represent the tip of the sneakerhead sphere - we’ve been around for a long time and have made these kinds of shoes into “grails”, so when Nike drops...

    ***Official Political Discussion Thread***

    I think you may underestimate how much fear towards gay people remains. I mean, Lawrence v Texas was only 20 years ago. I don’t underestimate how strong “othering” is in this country. I saw firsthand my home state vote for Obama and then turn around and vote for Trump after years of fear...

    Getting one past election right is great and all but I’m not buying this map. Just looked at some of dude’s pre debate maps and I don’t see Wisconsin flipping after last night alone. I don’t think Trump runs the table across PA/GA/AZ/NV/WI. I won’t even get into the question you pose, but...

    Washington Wizards Season Thread - Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here

    Sarr Bub Kyshawn Future 1st and Brogdon? I’d say not a bad not for the Wizards. A few projects, but the upside is definitely there. But it’s the Wizards, so I’ll refrain from saying tonight brings us some hope.

    Washington Wizards Season Thread - Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here

    If Sarr goes #1, I’d take Clingan. I’m not convinced by Risacher. I don’t think the shooting is at the level people are projecting. At which point he’s just a lesser known Buzelis. Clingan may be a reach at 2, but he can defend and we need all the help we can get defensively. Not sold on...

    *Paris 2024 Summer Olympics Thread: Announcing Schedules As They Come*

    USWNT announcement makes me feel old. I didn’t recognize hardly any of them save a few midfielders and the front line. Who is the woman doing the video? Never heard of her either. That blue/red tie dye style kit is growing on me though.

    The Timepiece Thread vol: READ THE 1st POST!!!

    Was having that exact conversation with my friend after seeing that IG post. Retail for this new AT is more than the Explorer? Massive mistake by Omega, imo. I don’t know many people who are choosing an Omega over a comparable Rolex. I even prefer the 38mm to a 36mm or 40mm, but ceteris paribus...

    That new 38mm AT is looking awesome. Would be about a perfect watch for me but I just don’t love the AT dial compared to some other watches. Omega pricing is out of hand tho.

    ***WOMEN'S HOOPS THREAD*** Congrats, UNDEFEATED SOUTH CAROLINA! Congrats, LAS VEGAS ACES!

    Angel proving me wrong for doubting her before the draft. I didn’t know if she’d have enough skill to stick, but I underestimated just how strong of an offensive rebounder she is. I’d say effort is a skill and that was her best trait for me coming out. I’m glad to see it translating for her in W.

    The Timepiece Thread vol: READ THE 1st POST!!!

    I’ve got one. I haven’t had any issue with the minute hand jumping. Tbf, the 120 hour power reserve means I’ve basically only set the watch three times since owning it - once initially, once at daylight savings, and once when traveling in a diff time zone. I wear it about every other day but...
