#gokingsgo. They call me Lucky Luc because I'm an idiot but they keep extending my contract. I've made over $100M burning this franchise into the ground. 🥂

Insularity. Mediocrity. Propaganda. Fan gouging. Fan gaslighting. Nepotism. Old boys network. French Connection. Incompetence. No accountability. No integrity. No passion. No vision. No excellence.
Guilty on all counts.
You know what's (a) harder than a rebuild and (b) even less guaranteed?
Answer: Refusing to rebuild because you think it's riskier than just losing year after year for 10 years straight.
Stop saying, thinking, and doing stupid things.
Neighbor: Kings have so many guys injured. Maybe they're better than their record.
Me: They're an old team. I really don't think the injuries are why they have a poor record.
Him: But it matters.
Me: When everything matters, does anything matter?
Him: ...
Me: Take your time
I feel like I've been hearing this from many Kings fans lately: "Kings suck. But Division also sucks. So maybe if they changed XYZ they can be ok. But that won't force change. Their division sucks though. But Kings suck too."
Like ... WHAT? Make up your freaking mind.
So this guy thinks replacing a duopoly oligarchy with a monopoly tyranny is the better path? Was Carthage or the current US duopoly worse than tyrannical dictatorships? Just a fantastic level of asshattery everywhere we turn.
"Elon Musk" biography author Walter Isaacson on Starlink and Optimus today:
"AT&T and T-Mobile do not want Starlink to totally decimate their business by having a direct to the cell phone business. But things get disrupted in the digital age.
I think that Elon Musk is very focused on having Starlink break this sort of oligopoly of the cell phone carriers. And he's probably going to find a way to do it.
And certainly he's going to find a technology that can do it. I think this is a great thing.
[He's] the only person to get more than 10,000 satellites into orbit, take over the cell phone, create Optimus the robot and the Neuralink implant.
These are all game changers for the economy."
And the kinds of questions humans ask (I'm guessing teens) is even more terrifying. Our country and world is so fucked.
Spend a few minutes on reddit and you'll realize just how terrifyingly stupid human beings really are.
I sometimes go there for college admissions related topics or questions and the amount of dumbfucks (I'm guessing mostly adults) who think they're experts is insane.
Go out and vote. Not because you think it'll matter or not but because it is your duty and responsibility as a citizen.
When we see trash on the floor we pick it up whether we think it'll matter or not.
When we think "it won't matter" we get America's public restrooms. Filth.
🧵 How To Spend Money (Nikita Kucherov Version)
So word is that the Kucherov camp is asking for $20M AAV x 6 years. He's already 34 yrs old so this would be his final multi season contract.
All contracts of this type are front loaded. Meaning, much of the value of $120M ...
Wins and losses have less impact. Most of these hockey teams are part of a larger media portfolio play.
Marketing company: LA Kings. That's it.
Every NHL team is owned by a sports conglomerate, limited partnership, or media company.
Only one team is owned by an oil ...
