October 29, 2003: LeBron James makes his NBA debut vs. Sacramento Kings

(via solecollector)

This video is for all the fans of the Beam Team! The NBA season has started and we here at the Sacramento History Museum are, of course, rooting for the home team! In honor of the season underway, Jared letterpress printed something for the Sacramento Kings.

In this video, Jared printed cards in purple rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop press. This electrotype of a basketball clearly shows its age because basketballs stopped having laces in the late 1930s. The text “GO KINGS” and “Light the beam!” was set in 30 point Caslon font.

If you visit the Sacramento History Museum and mention this video, you’ll get this print! (While supplies last)

Do you think Ted Cruz would have been a better president than Trump if he got elected present in 2016?

I don't know why you want to punish me and force me to admit that there's ANY possible situation where Ted Cruz would be a better President than someone else. It's a mean-spirited thought experiment and it hurts me. But yes, I think Trump has been the most destructive political force in American history and a genuine threat to democracy, so Ted Cruz would be slightly less horrible as President, even if he has a significantly more punchable face (which is quite the accomplishment itself).

That's not to suggest that I think Ted Cruz would be a good President by any means; he'd just be more competent than Trump. But I also think the reanimated corpse of Hafez al-Assad would be more competent than Trump was. I think an empty Big Bird costume stolen from the set of Sesame Street would be more competent than Trump was. I think any individual page torn out of any book in my library would somehow be more competent than Trump was. I think the referees who robbed my Sacramento Kings in Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals would be more competent than.......actually no, I can't go that far and, yes, I'm still pissed about a basketball game from over 20 years ago.
