The San Antonio Spurs are turning heads in the early 2025 NBA season. They are instead 3-0 with Victor Wembanyama already performing like a fully realized superstar. San Antonio’s defense looks generational, and rookie Dylan Harper is showing poise that could make him a future Rookie of the Year candidate. This young Spurs squad is already a force to be reckoned with, blending veteran coaching from Gregg Popovich with a pipeline of elite talent. This analysis comes from a recent episode of Harrison Talks Pod , where we break down Wembanyama’s dominance, Harper’s emergence, and how the Spurs are reshaping the narrative around rebuilding teams in the NBA.

Dark Money, Media, and Online Creators: Parsing the Chorus Controversy

Recently, there’s been significant online discussion about the “Chorus Creator Program,” a mentorship initiative funded by the 1630 Fund, a nonprofit with progressive donors. Critics, including Taylor Lorenz in Wired , framed it as a secretive program paying creators to stay silent on Israel and enforcing a partisan line.

Public statements from participants make it clear that mentorship, not content production, was the program’s primary goal. There were no required deliverables, and creators were not censored.
