At this point in the season, most teams have settled into their identity, fine-tuned their rotations, and are making their final playoff push. But for the Sixers? It’s been anything but smooth sailing.

Just when it seemed like the Dallas Cowboys were off to a promising start this offseason, things have quickly settled into their usual organizational routine—one that often leaves fans scratching their heads. Initially, the front office wasted no time locking down key players like defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa and taking care of business with other restricted free agents.

Since their founding during the early days of the Basketball Association of America (BAA)—the league that would eventually evolve into the modern NBA—the Celtics have seen more than 500 players take the court, each leaving their mark on the franchise. Over the decades, these athletes have suited up in a staggering 68 different jersey numbers, along with three others that fall outside any standard numerical series.

An internal email, previously unreported and now obtained by TPM, lays out a startling legal justification for bypassing the Senate’s confirmation authority when it comes to certain appointed positions. If this maneuver succeeds, Trump would essentially sidestep the Senate’s traditional role, dramatically altering the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches.

Back in 2019, when Bong Joon-ho's Parasite took home the Oscar for Best Picture—the first non-English film to ever do so—he made a striking observation about why the South Korean dark comedy resonated so universally. "Essentially," he stated, "we all live in the same country, called Capitalism." Those words still echo today, especially as Bong expands on his exploration of inequality and power in his latest film, Mickey 17, a sci-fi satire that takes the cruelties of capitalism beyond Earth itself.
