Did he get into any fights stealing that spot?In a legendary "before they were famous" moment, Jean-Claude Van Damme debuts as an enthusiastic background dancer in cult classic Breakin’ (1984). His desperate, hilarious attempts to get noticed are a masterclass in trying to steal the spotlight. 🤣😂 pic.twitter.com/Q4rF4IKATq

(Sounds damning except, "The 13-page document is on LAFD letterhead and includes email addresses for department officials, representatives of Bass’ office and public relations consultants hired to help shape messaging about the fire, although it is not known to whom it was eventually distributed. The Times obtained the memo...the memo, which is unsigned...The memo is undated")I'm always amazed people write memos like this when they know public records laws exist. https://t.co/Pq8MQvwxPc pic.twitter.com/oQzjg67uih

This case is insane: ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.* The young man they killed had no criminal history. All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs. We don't know officers' names. We don't have footage. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

KAT has 49 offensive fouls this season. He’s on pace for 72.
— James L. Edwards III (@JLEdwardsIII) February 20, 2026
That would be tied for the highest in the NBA since Eddy Curry’s 92 in 2006-07.
49 already matches his total from last year.
