Then Donald Trump shows up to their first NBA finals home game this century, falls asleep, and they promptly lose lmao."

@_L1vY_ Well that did happen at my house when we saw
BOOOOooooOOOOoooo

You're right! Go for it, Knick's fans! Strew bloated intestines all over the court like confetti!

@Tooden They probably will be tomorrow when his ego's bent outta shape

The Booing of The President at the Nicks Game is a significant social event. I think it deserves a thread of the reporting and commentary:
Just an FYI that I try not to post/repost direct links to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky. I do post some YouTube links esp. if it can be played within your masto frame.
Same goes for swastikas, GenAI, Trump face, some other offensive people's faces, gore, human dead, injured/ dying children (usually not adults either), explosions we know are killing people even if we can't see them.
Sometimes news links will display one of those, in which case I usually go back and post a random picture

This means I have a lot fewer clips of the game events tonight than are out there (but I'm certain we will start seeing more as they propagate out).

Fox News is spinning the evening's events as "chants of USA, USA, erupted," rofl

Tangentially, I have a bridge IN from Bluesky but NOT a bridge OUT to Bluesky. Weird but true.

Well, It didn't Happen at the game, but events were still gratifying, and a new day is dawning. As always, It Could Happen today.
