what makes new york city so shitty is that i have lost my keys *inside* my apartment and cannot find them

this is the exact shit rightwingers do to dismiss the interests of the biggest city in the country. and liberals fall for it! because they get annoyed by annoying tweets about bodegas.

it's shitty if a new yorker does this! it's also shitty to write off 8.5 million new yorkers as elitist or people living in a shitty place! *ahhh you see it's shitty when a new yorker thinks where i, a Real American, live is bad, but it is cool and correct when *i* do it about new yorkers*

like i get it, new yorkers can be annoying, but central park *is* also a small miracle

there's this strange thing where (ostensibly liberal) people love to talk about new york being shitty and oh i could never live there and any amount of civic pride from new yorkers in their home is eye-rolled. like yeah man i get it has drawbacks but 9 million people live here for a reason, too

one of those days you really consider moving to europe and taking up cigarettes as a hobby

the nflpa series from pablo has been one of the most revealing pieces of journalism -- sports journalism, esp -- ive consumed in a long time. what's been most interesting is they use the 'boring' legal doc to show how normalized corruption and self-serving is throughout the whole ordeal

a guy i went to high school with is posting his four-leg, japanese-league baseball parlays to facebook. idk which authorities i'd need to call to intervene but i feel it's about that time.

i feel like zach bryan is an ai invention for dudes who "love" bruce springsteen but also think 'born in the usa' is about how awesome the usa is

i cant say i know the most about ozzy but i can say with certainty that 'war pigs' whips ass

the thing is fourth is more realistic than five lol bc zohran is ineligible as a naturalized citizen

ok i got a little carried away. here's a 2001 article from The Adirondack Mountain Sun about an alternative HOF being built. He also wrote a little red book playing off his association with mao?? www.google.com/books/editio...

found this in the si vault (a friend on the sox said it) but can't find much in the way oft he actual quote. though he did take goodwill trips there

allegations and other thoughts aside, i think it's cruel to keep this man contained and from the place he holds so dear (the hospital)

'constructive summer' friday

the YOUTHS don't know ANYTHING* of cultural import

*the song 'pepper' by the butthole surfers, which is still a banger

my 'don't pay attention to the epstein files there's nothing incriminating there' post seems to be raising lots of questions already answered by the post

when the often very silly pod does another very serious investigation the rest of sports media ignored for...some reason

i'm a phillies fan but honestly whooooo cares, the mis kid rules and it's meant to be a fun, showcase game -- got no problem showcasing a young, incredible pitcher. when you think of this season years from now, youre probably gonna think of that kid.

we live in a conner o'malley fever dream

on my honeymoon in italy, some 3 years ago, i met a leather-skinned, 65ish italian "lifeguard" at our hotel who'd spend the entire day tanning, sipping bottled coke, periodically taking a dip in the tyrrhenian sea then feeding fish chunks from a crust of bread. i think of him often. man had it all.

congrats to bill simmons on his npr side gig

sometimes i like to check-in on the Twitter Basketball Nerds who went right-wing and whoo buddy it's dark

in 'the bear' we spot a dillinger four poster in carmy's childhood bedroom. drawing on the lineage of midwest hardcore, both implied and explicit in lyrics, we can assume carm's intellectual bent wouldve led him to lftr pllr and, in turn, we can assume he's a hold steady fan, in this essay, i will,

have poured myself a crisp, iced diet coke. have a feeling this is going to fix it all

i'm hearing from league sources that they're going to have totally normal thoughts about caitlin clark

oh man, that's so awful
