This is a bit mean. Just because I want to talk about the WEIRDEST trade in the modern NBA (that has collusion vibes all over it), doesn't mean I am vapid and shallow.
I volunteer a lot in my community and mutual aid spaces, and things have gotten a lot worse since the pandemic. Talking about so called "vapid" social topics is how a lot of us avoid burnout.
Also if you watched Kendrick's Superb Owl performance, saw the message he was trying to portray about black empowerment, how ANGRY the establishment MAGAbros are over it, and still think of it as mindless drivel...maybe you're part of the problem.
Things don't have to be academic to matter.
Agree with you. Sports and pop culture should have their places.
I do miss /r/NBA. But I also miss my local NBA team being good. 😄
