And they all still enshrine the sanctity of private property which was my point when referencing the definition. All the variations of liberalism still boil down to a capitalist ideology.

There is a set definition for what liberalism is.

Because it considers private property a core foundation it literally can’t be left wing. Leftists (whether socialists or anarchists) believe private (not personal) property should be abolished.

Great to see! Finally some light at the end of the tunnel of suffering caused by the blockade.

Yeah that's my bad, I got busy with work and kept forgetting to bring it up since I wasn't sure how to @ everyone from mobile.

Hey everyone, as @[email protected] just mentioned, they reached out about possibly moving this community to a new instance. I had been meaning to see if before this season starts if we wanted to move away from .world anyway due to the issues we had before with rezz getting banned for the high seas links.

I never got around to confirming with any instance admins if they'd allow those out in the open and it looks like rgullis would allow a bot that could DM links to the sites which might be a better/more sustainable workaround if everyone is open to it?

 

The Hornets are receiving three second-round picks (two via Knicks, one via Minnesota), along with DaQuan Jeffries, Charlie Brown and Duane Washington Jr., to complete the Karl-Anthony Towns-Julius Randle-Donte DiVincenzo trade, sources

Just realized that even though they weren’t involved in the trade Denver is a huge winner here. Felt like having 3 bigs they could put on Jokic was huge and no other team really has that.

Damn way too young, one of the funnest players to watch highlights of. Wish his family the best.

Per The Athletic's Shams Charania, the T-Wolves are trading the three-time All-Star to the New York Knicks in exchange for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round draft pick via the Detroit Pistons.

Charania added that Charlotte Hornets are also included in the trade as part of a three-team deal. The Knicks are sending salary, including DaQuan Jeffries, and draft compensation to the Hornets in the exchange.

The draft pick is a 2025 top-13 protected pick, per ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Deal makes sense for Knicks for sure since they need center depth and I kinda see what the wolves are going for but feels a little light on the return but maybe I’m not valuing Randle right.

 

ESPN has parted ways with NBA senior writer Zach Lowe as part of the network’s continuing layoffs, sources briefed on the decision told *The Athletic *on Thursday.

Lowe follows the earlier dismissals of NFL personalities, Robert Griffin III and Sam Ponder. The moves are part of the network’s fiscal year planning that ends at the conclusion of September. ESPN and Lowe both declined to comment.

I agree Minnesota is the best option, they usually have one of highest travel miles in the leagues each season and it’ll make the division rivalries match other sports more.

As a Nuggets/Bucks fan it’s really weird they play the Nuggets more than the Bucks given their locations.

Edit: I do wonder if they’ll go to 4 divisions of 4 in each conference and how that’ll affect the schedule. Can’t really go any other way and have even divisions though unless it’s 8 team divisions.

Shams typically got the breaking news about as often as Woj so he’ll be the one to follow I’d say.

Shams seemed to have more contacts with players/agents and Woj had it in with front offices so it’ll be interesting to see if 1 person fills the front office void or if it’ll be a couple people but I’m leaning towards the latter.

 

Final Woj bomb

Oh I agree, but that’s was a whole other can of worms I wasn’t trying to get into at the moment since I’ve got a busy and long work day that’s still not over unfortunately lol

 

Per Bontemps, the new rules will allow for officials to review whether a foul should have been called on an out-of-bounds play. That means that even if a replay shows the ball going off a certain team's player and out of bounds, the other team won't gain possession if it is determined they committed a foul on the play.

Bontemps added that the rule changed was approved by the NBA Board of Governors on Tuesday, and commissioner Adam Silver will further explain the changes later in the day following the meetings.
