Usually, when a talented team plays well, they win. Given that the roster was also at full strength, there’s really no excuse for it. And hey, it’s a long 82 game season. Off nights are going to happen to every team in the league. Hell, just look at what’s going on with the defending champs right now. But let’s call it like it is. That’s big time stuff. As long as they avoid the shit we saw last night, the Celts should be fine....

Youre unable to close deals 40% off TNW Conference! In some cases, meeting security compliance criteria is essential just to bid on a contract. More mature organisations will often require potential vendors and partners to be compliant with some of the maincybersecuritystandards. This can block your business from the revenue boost it needs to move fromstartupto fast-growing scaleup. You arent following common best practices Have you noticed your security practices differ greatly from your competitors and partners?...

Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. Once again I’m up against the clock. My parents are coming into town today. I thought they were getting here at 3pm. Turns out it’s more like 1pm. So I have one hour to get as many takes + Boob GIFs of as possible. Let’s go with generic college football takes today. Here’s one not very original college football take I’ve had for years....

Welcome back to another episode of Blog Wheel. This is the second Blog Wheel of the week. So naturally I had to do a separate Frank wheel. But this is regular Blog Wheel. Here we have a much more classic Blog Wheel topic.The best and worst places to do drugs. I keep telling myself I should distance myself from the whole drug guy thing. It’s not necessarily the best look for a 31 year old man to be the drug guy....

Take it up with Adam Silver for all I care. The point is, multiple Raptors did a little crying about it. Their broadcast did some crying about it. Unfortunately for the Raptors, this is sort of turning into a one sided affair ever since the Bubble. It’s just a matchup nightmare for them at the end of the day. I can be annoyed with how they played and happy they won all at the same time....

By now you know how these things work. Four of those teams are good/in contention in theory + the Wemby factor. If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Rich Paul brings his Klutch guys to LA. LeBron/AD/and Vanderbilt are all current Klutch guys on the roster. Seeing as how LaVine has LA ties, this isn’t that surprising. But what do the Lakers even have to offer? My guess is they could just flip him down the road in February for additional assets....

Last night Pat and Joey took over Zanies comedy club in Rosemont. I think on the weekends they run 3 shows a night. And they’re all packed, wall to wall. 99% of the time whoever you see performing there is fucking nails and you end up crying laughing. It’s the best. (Note- Francis has played Zanies several times.) Sure it’s in mafia land Rosemont, near that dump of an airport O’hare....

Even though I typically do not see gender, this is another blog for the fellas. Question:How fucking great does it feel when you take a piss outdoors? The first is take a shower… Showering with Mother Nature is exhilarating. The hot water runs over your broad shoulders while a cool breeze sneaks by your pendulous balls. “doesn’t conjure up the same romantic image. The second thing is smoking a cigar....

I guess we’re doing this for a little bit? That couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m not sure anyone wants to be Philly. Bank was rocking, a simple statement. That couldn’t be further from the truth. No one wants to be Philadelphia, no one. It got taken away. Says something, doesn’t it? Jordie wasn’t happy that I have called the Orioles “the birds” in the past. Is it the Orioles #1 nickname?...

The reality of bringing that to life? Turns out it’s a fucking shit show on all levels. This is basically the F1’s version of Fyre Festival. Let’s start with attendance. No one wants to go to this thing as hotel prices have plummeted. How bad have things gotten? I wasnt planning on staying on the Las Vegas Strip for the race. Yes, $18. Ticket prices have also plummeted. Both events were selling for around $1,000 originally....

There’s certainly reason to believe that somebody at Michigan was involved in espionage on some level. Enough to suspect he was involved at the very least. And that would be Tony Annese of back-to-back champions Ferris State, from Grand Rapids. He won’t be on the sidelines for their playoff game tomorrow. Because he’s guilty of the unpardonable sin of letting grown adults celebrate winning in adult fashion. The Bulldogs will travel 60 miles in Michigan to play in-state rival Grand Valley State....

The UK doesnt plan on introducingAIregulation anytime soon in contrast to the EUs and Chinas strict legislation efforts. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. That includes getting regulation right so that innovators can thrive and the risks posed by AI can be addressed. Meanwhile, the EU, the US, and China are moving closer to overreaching, risk-based legislation. Story byIoanna Lykiardopoulou Ioanna is a writer at TNW. With a background in the humanities, she has a soft spot for social impact-enabling technologies....

The UK has become the first country in the world to approve CRISPR gene-editing therapy. Regulators approved the use of CRISPR for the treatment of inherited diseases sickle-cell anaemia and -thalassaemia on Thursday. The former affects the shape of red blood cells of 20 million people worldwide and can cause debilitating pain. About 80 to 90 million people carry some version of -thalassaemia worldwide. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats....
