Sure has been a great summer and fall at Portside as it is every year. Can’t stress how dope Halloweekend is going to look like…
I know the racists are going through it this morning. We got a Muslim senator, a black and Hispanic governor. Let’s leave bigotry behind and gets things back to governing with love instead of fear…
Please Michigan… do not drop this ball…
ABDUL EL-SAYED: “You'd think their campaign might want to mention gas or groceries. But instead, they just want to point to me and be like, ‘He's Muslim.’”
“Y'all, let me just tell you: I am Muslim. And I'm an American who believes in the Constitution. That shouldn't matter, because it doesn't matter how you pray, or if you pray at all.”
He then addresses Trump's repeated attempts to say his name:
ABDUL EL-SAYED: “Donald Trump can't seem to figure out what my name is. Abdul. Now he's taking to calling me Muhammad.”
“The funny thing about it is Abdul means servant, Muhammad means the praised one. I'm like, all right, bro, you want to take me from servant to the praised one? I'm okay with it.”
But his best punchline comes after Trump reportedly calls him “Abdul Ramadan.”
ABDUL EL-SAYED: “Groceries under his leadership have gotten so expensive, I wouldn't be surprised if he's like, ‘Listen, we can just do Ramadan for all.’”
“Groceries got too expensive? Listen, just fast all day. I'm trying to bring your groceries down. Abdul Ramadan.”

Watch creepy Jessie Watters get schooled...it's savage
Still can’t believe Dan Campbell out here playing Madden with that insane 4th down call. Luckily the Packers field goal kicker decided to take the day off…

I texted my children that we got the puppy they’ve been begging me for and sent them a link with pictures. 🐶When they clicked on the link, it took them to a webpage that said YOU’RE GROUNDED. They’ll be spending the weekend retaking our family’s cybersecurity training course.

It's important to learn math not because you may need to do long division as an adult, but because it promotes rigorous thinking. IMO, history and causal inference are among the most important subjects a young person can study — math being central to the second.
A significant problem in public discourse right now is people's inability to critically evaluate causal claims (e.g., vaccines cause autism, deporting immigrants will solve the housing crisis, etc.). The less able people are to critically evaluate causal claims, the worse our democracy functions because people can be preyed upon for votes. You should promote anything that improves rigorous thinking, even if it doesn't have market value. In fact, we should stop thinking of education only in the context of what improves the economy.
IMO, this is distinct from knowing your own address (which Huang can avoid because he's wealthy). Memorizing facts like this may or may not be important, but it's distinct from rigorous thinking.
HUANG: “.. Try getting a kid to do long division right now. Multiplication tables are starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots? My goodness. ..
.. Does it matter? .. I don’t think it does.”

Ben Wallace says the Pistons would’ve never won an NBA championship had they drafted Carmelo Anthony instead of Darko Milicic
“If we would've drafted Carmelo, I honestly don't think we would’ve ever won a championship. Melo would've wanted to play right away. It would've had the potential to disrupt the team chemistry. By drafting Darko, Darko was the guy who came in and said, ‘I can’t play on this team. I’m not ready to play on this team. Who am I going to play in front of?’”
“By him accepting his role, it allowed us to build and grow, get stronger and stronger, and eventually win a championship. If he would've came in saying, ‘I want to play. I need to be playing.’ He would've called his agent. His agent would've been calling Joe [Dumars]. Darko would've been talking to the media. The media would've come and asked those crazy questions. Then we would've had to say something crazy. They would've taken it back to Darko. The whole divide and conquer”
“If we would have drafted Melo, Tayshaun [Prince] would’ve never blossomed to be the type of player that he became. We won a championship off the back of the best block that I ever seen in my life. And I’ve blocked a lot of shots. That’s the type of grit and grind that that team was about”

Nothing should require an app. There should always be an alternative. You should always be able to leave your cell phone at home or not own one at all. This applies to everything but especially for something as basic as parking.
