    Wow, go Knicks! Knicks sweep 76ers, return to Eastern Conference finals https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48735626/knicks-sweep-76ers-return-eastern-conference-finals #NBA #NewYorkKnicks

    I love how the Knicks fans travel, but sometimes on the radio feed it&amp;#39;s hard to tell whether they’re on the road or in MSG, which can sometimes get confusing when using the crowd noise to keep up with what&amp;#39;s going on! Knicks, fans feel right at home with sweep of 76ers in Philly https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48737410/knicks-fans-feel-right-home-sweep-76ers-philly #NBA #NewYorkKnicks

    I wonder how many questions on mailing lists take longer to get answered because the subject line is so vague. The subject line is also just plain wrong when a thread is hijacked. I guess I&amp;#39;m just encouraging people to think a bit about their subject lines and what&amp;#39;s going to get them the answers they want as quickly as possible.

    Trump is quick to use antisemiticism as an excuse to go after people and institutions he doesn&amp;#39;t like, such as universities, but he&amp;#39;ll ignore it when it comes from a supporter. There&amp;#39;s just so much hypocrisy. It&amp;#39;s just so hard to take him and his movement seriously.

    I’m still surprise at ’how hipocritical and thin skinned Trump and his followers are. 8647&amp;#39; got James Comey indicted. What exactly does it mean https://www.npr.org/2026/04/29/nx-s1-5804483/8647-meaning-comey-indictment

    And this doesn&amp;#39;t include the cost being paid by the American public. The Iran war now has a price tag ($25 billion), but still no end date https://www.npr.org/2026/04/29/g-s1-119333/the-iran-war-now-has-a-price-tag-25-billion-but-still-no-end-date

    I hope this backfires by making these seats more competitive, which would both hurt Trump and the Republicans, but would also move us closer back to a democracy with contested districts. Florida lawmakers pass a voting map that could help Republicans flip 4 House seats https://www.npr.org/2026/04/29/nx-s1-5804703/florida-redistricting-voting-map-republicans-house-seats

    I’m really loving my new MacBook Neo. Part of that might just be the fun of learning something new, but somethings are just nicer on the Mac, and the interopverability with my iPhone is also nice. It&amp;#39;s also so small, thin ad light that I use it around the house, and I see myself traveling with it. My 15 inch laptop never leaves the desk. When traveling, I do use my iPhone, but there are some things where I miss a keyboard and connecting a keyboard to my iPhone isn&amp;#39;t as nice as u...

    The cost for Trump’s war on the American public just keeps rising. How rising jet fuel prices are driving up the cost of fighting wildfires https://www.npr.org/2026/04/30/nx-s1-5775794/fuel-costs-iran-war-wildfires

    I’m not a fan of the electoral college, but I&amp;#39;m not sure a national popular vote is the answer either. Virginia joins a national effort to ensure only popular vote winners become president https://www.npr.org/2026/04/14/nx-s1-5742595/virginia-popular-vote-compact

    My favorite part of this articl is JD Vance schooling the Pope on theology. “Vice President Vance, who is Catholic, also weighed in on the controversy on Tuesday night, saying the pope should &amp;quot;be careful when he talks about matters of theology” Popes have spoken out on politics before. But with Trump and Pope Leo it&amp;#39;s different https://www.npr.org/2026/04/15/nx-s1-5779690/pope-leo-donald-trump-war-iran-vance-history
