The Vans Warped Tour at 30
On Saturday around 6:30 p.m., the Army celebrated its 250th anniversary with the largest display of military prowess in the nation's capital in more than three decades. About three miles west of the parade route, in the festival grounds adjacent to RFK Stadium, a man wearing a 'Make America Emo Again' T-shirt watched Sublime perform, singing along, 'I smoke two joints in time of peace and two in time of war.' After a five-year hiatus, the Vans Warped tour was, undoubtedly, back.

What is a jury supposed to make of the Diddy trial?
The trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs was a sprawling odyssey into the perverse desires of the rich and famous, six weeks of learning more than any of us wanted to know about baby oil, escort payments and the not-insubstantial administrative skills required to arrange an orgy. Much of it felt like a testament to the fact that literally nothing is less sexy than sex — at least, not once when you turn on the black light and examine the mess it left behind. The general manager of L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, a luxury hotel, got on the stand and read from internal notes specifying that Combs's room, after one stay, should be placed 'out of order' for a 'deep cleaning.' Another hotel worker testified that Combs was fined $1,000 for 'oil damage.' Great Gatsby's parties, these were not. Combs's freak-offs left behind pain, disgust and charges on racketeering and sex trafficking to be adjudicated in a court of law.

"Felt Bad For Him": Kiyan Anthony Sympathizes With Bronny James Over Comparisons To Fathers
"Felt Bad For Him": Kiyan Anthony Sympathizes With Bronny James Over Comparisons To Fathers originally appeared on Fadeaway World. LeBron James and his son Bronny became the first father-son duo to play together in NBA history. One would think such a historic personal achievement for James, a testament to the longevity of his career, would be widely celebrated. However, it has also ended up subjecting Bronny to unrealistic comparisons with his father. Advertisement Carmelo Anthony's son Kiyan, who is also a highly rated basketball talent going to Syracuse in the coming NCAA season, went on his father's podcast with Dylan Harper, the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, who is also the son of NBA legend Ron Harper, i.e, another second-generation basketball player, and they discussed this about Bronny. 'Yeah, I feel like as soon as whoever's talking tries to connect like both, that's when it gets messed up. Cause like it's a new generation, two totally different people, even though that might be your kid, y'all both going through different things. So like Bronny, I kind of felt bad for him cause that's my guy." "So just seeing, he doesn't speak a lot, he doesn't. He's not going to go on the internet and say what he has to say. But like deep down, like behind closed doors, he probably was going through it. Like you seeing this every day, you're on social media, you can't even scroll twice without seeing a post with your name on it." 'He probably talked to his pops about it, but at the end of the day he's nice at ball, he not like people trying to say he not good or he just there for his pops, I think he's really nice and I think he really has a chance to you know prosper in the NBA." Advertisement "But they trying to get it to him, for him to get his first year like no it could take a couple years like D was saying it take a couple years before you could even you know start getting situated, start getting settled, and even play your own game so that's how I feel about it man.' Assessing Bronny James' First Year As A Lakers Player Bronny James only played 27 regular-season games for the Lakers and spent most of the season getting his reps in during the G League. More often than not, he was struggling in the games he played and was thus subject to a lot of criticism due to the standards his father had set. He averaged 2.3 points in 6.7 minutes played in each of those 27 games. But as the 55th overall pick, any other player who would be getting similar minutes would also have a similar performance. Moreover, Bronny has shown sparks of what he can do with multiple stellar games in the G-League. He averaged 21.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in the 11 regular-season games he played in the G-League. If he gets more minutes for the Lakers, he may actually be useful for the Lakers in the long run.
