ETrae Young is leading the league in assists, and the funniest part is where he's doing it.
SThe Wizards? The team nobody watches?
EExactly. Twelve and a half assists a game for a team that might win twenty-five games.
SHe's dropping dimes in an empty room. It's like being the best chef at a restaurant with one star on Yelp.
EQuietly historic season, zero noise, and nobody's talking about it.
SThat's the thing, though. He asked out of Atlanta. He got his trade. And now he's putting up numbers that would win MVP votes if the team wasn't terrible.
EAnd here's my take: that's exactly why the stats are real. Bad team, defenses keyed on him every night, and he's still leading the league.
SI'll give him that. But the Wizards have been bad for a decade. I'm not sure assists on a tanking team move me.
ESo what was he supposed to do, stay in Atlanta and fake it? He wanted a fresh start.
SI'm not saying he's wrong. I'm saying the silence around his numbers tells you how little anyone cares about Washington.
EThe one guy on X put it perfectly: college football buried the Heat game for three straight quarters.
SIt is Saturday night, and we're all checking scores.
ESpeaking of checking scores, a guy named Sam posted that he just choked three straight 5-3 leads in Call of Duty one-versus-ones.
SThree straight? At that point you just turn the console off and go for a walk.
EThe rage in his tweet is the most universal sports feeling on the internet right now.
SChoking a lead is choking a lead. Doesn't matter if it's a controller or a basketball. The pain is identical.
EYeah, but in real sports you can blame the refs. In Call of Duty, it's just you and your thumbs.
SAnd your internet connection. Never forget the lag excuse.
EHere's a lighter one from over on Bluesky. A woman set aside overripe bananas to make banana bread... and she actually made the banana bread.
SThat's breaking news? In my house that's a miracle.
EIt's satire about how we all act. Every kitchen has a graveyard of banana promises.
SMine are in the freezer. I call it my retirement plan.
EThe account that posted it, Crux, nailed the fake breaking news voice. It's silly, but it's the exact energy we need at 8 p.m. on a Saturday.
SAlright, here's one that might actually be real news, or it might be a Joy Reid fever dream.
EWhat have you got?
SA Bluesky account claims Barack Obama endorsed Angie Nixon, a Florida politician, citing a segment on the Joy Reid Show.
EAnd you checked it.
SNo major outlet is reporting it. Not one. If Obama endorsed someone, it would be everywhere.
ESo this is either very fresh, or it's wishful thinking from a fan account.
SUntil a real newsroom confirms it, it's a rumor. And the show's policy is simple: we don't run rumors as facts.
EBut the reason it's spreading is obvious. Obama's endorsement still moves voters, especially in a tight Florida race.
SWhich is exactly why someone would push it before it's verified. Classic political speedrun.
EAnd exactly why people should wait for actual reporting, not a Bluesky post with nine likes.
SWe'll keep an eye on it. If it's real, it'll be everywhere by noon tomorrow.
