Jimmy Butler saying 'What the f*** was that' is the best new reaction GIF

SB Nation: Toronto Raptors 

Butler was not a fan of that shot.

If your teammates can’t be brutally honest with you, who can? During Wednesday’s game against the Clippers, the Timberwolves had a cushy lead against Los Angeles but a defensive rebound had Taj Gibson thinking, “Hey why not pad this lead even more?”

It’s a long shot, literally, but a fullcourt make to end the half would be an exquisite exclamation point. It ... did not go well. The shot wouldn’t have even counted since it was still... Читать дальше...

U.S. Navy

Sunday, December 7, 1941, began like any other Sunday at Pearl Harbor, the US's most important Pacific base.

Sailors and airmen slowly roused themselves from sleep as the might of the US fleet sat at anchor across the waterfront.

"The Japanese bombs did tremendous damage to the immediate strength of America’s Pacific airpower... Читать дальше...

«SFGate» (sfgate.com)

It was, at least, far better than their previous home in the city, a shelter where rats ate through the family's bags of clothes and chewed on 2-year-old Jaymason's stroller. Roughly 50 of the encampment's 200 residents were children, so Wade's kids had plenty of playmates. "It's peaceful here," Wade, 31, who is eight months pregnant, said in an October interview. "There's coffee first thing in the morning. Читать дальше...

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

VIENNA (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson held up the Ukraine crisis Thursday as the sole issue keeping the United States and Russia from forging a closer relationship, arguing that all other disputes are secondary.

President Donald Trump campaigned on the need to improve ties with Russia, Tillerson said in Vienna, adding that "normalizing" the relationship was something the U.S. still "badly would like to do."
