Data continue to show that rates of #COVID19-associated hospitalizations are falling after a peak in early January. While rates are going down, they’re still too high. Help slow the spread: 😷 Wear a mask. ↔ Stay 6 feet apart. 🚫 Avoid crowds. More: bit.ly/2OECmMr.

The CDC Director explicitly warned against doing this. Texas is ending their mask mandate and ending capacity limits.

.Office of Judge Lina Hidalgo Hidalgo & I urged ⁦Greg Abbott⁩ to keep the mask mandate in place prior to this afternoon's announcement. Wearing masks keeps our businesses and schools safely open, decreases community spread of the virus and saves lives. #WearAMask #MaskUpHou

The Nuggets visit the Bucks tonight. Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo are the only players in the NBA averaging at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists this season. Giannis has scored 35+ points in 4 straight games, the longest such streak in his career.

Honestly...any salary under $50,000 , for a job requiring a college degree, should be illegal

They WOULD be burning books... but they don’t own any.

Common Sense Bob™️ ☕️ Just the opposite. Voting should be easier, not harder. More open, not closed. More inclusive, not restrictive. Anyone who actually supports democracy agrees.

Just a few years ago, the GOP had total control of the House, Senate, and White House to ram through their radical agenda – and the American people voted them out. We shouldn’t let Minority Mitch McConnell and his desperate party keep their veto now. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

The Lakers shot 27 for 27 at the rim last night against the Warriors. That's the most made shots at the rim without a miss in any game in the CTG database (which goes back to 2003-04). By far: The second highest total without a miss was the Sixers going 21 for 21 back in 2010.

Racism has never been something that only Black people endure. Hate has no color. “Jeremy Lin warned the sports world about #StopAsianHate, then a white terrorist killed six Asians in Atlanta — are you paying attention yet?” My latest for Deadspin deadspin.com/jeremy-lin-war…

The instinct to vilify minority groups, especially during times of crisis, has a long-standing history in the U.S., rooted in the country’s relationship to white supremacy or fear that white people might become less powerful. 53eig.ht/3v51Rr2

Learn to shoot. Learn to defend. If you can do both, you'll be unstoppable.

College athletes should absolutely have the right to monetize their own names, images, and likenesses. They are #NotNCAAProperty

This might be the best Daryl Morey 🗽🏀 interview that I’ve encountered to date, in part because, while basketball is certainly discussed, it isn’t necessarily the driving force of the conversation. Instead, it focuses on rigorous decision-making, cognitive biases, and competitive edges.

On Saturday night, Abilene Christian did not make a single shot in the final 3:30 and committed 2 turnovers.....they still won.

In ways big and small, the tournament has been altered by the pandemic — but it will perhaps be better for it. 53eig.ht/3eWuu45
