Cold plunges are a form of performative suffering for wealthy people

It was widely considered like one of the worst parts of our week when like everyone on our team had to do a cold plunge and then out of nowhere it has just become widely known as like the best thing that people are like paying to go do for luxury... life is so easy that they like to do something that makes them feel pain... I heard about this on a podcast.

Subjective take on the cultural motivation behind a fitness trend.

The government should intervene to force streaming services into a bundled sports package

If you wanna be a sports fan in America, you are paying a shit load of money... You have to get all these streaming packages. I think the government is gonna try to break 'em up... or force them to merge bundle into a bundle back to cable.

Policy opinion about government intervention in streaming. Some movement (Senate hearings, FCC investigation) but no legislation. Remains a matter of political philosophy.

Daryl Morey is a good talent evaluator but a bad team builder

Daryl Morey has done a lot of good things for the future of the 76ers... He is a very good drafter... He's very good at evaluating talent. He's not very good at putting a team together, which is probably pretty important for a GM.

This is a subjective assessment of a GM's career tenure.

The Bucks would be idiotic not to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo now

You gotta turn the page and this is the best way to do it. 'Cause you can get real, you get real [picks] and like jumpstart your next chapter. You gotta trade him. You have to, it would be idiotic not to trade him at this point.

Subjective team-building philosophy.

I didn't want the Sixers to make the playoffs because this iteration of the team is bad

This isn't a good team. They're not a good basketball team. I don't know what happened in the Celtics series, but this is who we thought they were. I didn't want to make the playoffs because I didn't want watch this iteration of the Sixers. This team is bad.

While the Sixers were swept, they were a playoff team, making 'bad' a relative term of frustration.
