Conan rules.

No shame. If I had 10 kids...I'd probably agree to come out of retirement and have NFL players beat the hell out of me...just to get out of the house a bit.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Subjecy: Barstool leaving NYC? Hi Dave- Now than Zohran Mamdani is the mayor-elect, will Barstool be leaving New York? And if so, when? Thank you, -- Marisa Kabas Independent journalist The Handbasket

stay tuned

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

That was the most fun I’ve had watching baseball since I was a kid.

Good on ya, MLB.

Gotta love a Jeff Tweedy concert cause he blows your brains out for a few hours and you’re still home by 10:45.

That’s the way it’s meant to be.

So friggin true.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

Learning in the same week that both Norae and Hilltop are closing has me feeling some kind of way.

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

I’m a little stunned at how much I enjoyed the Billy Joel documentary on HBO.

Five plus hours over two parts seemed absurd and by the end I was sad it was over and would gladly watched five more hours.

If you refuse to endorse the overwhelmingly popular Democratic nominee for mayor of America's largest city, you should not be leading Democrats in the U.S. House

We've been doing this for five years. How are people still managing to unknowingly unmute themselves on Zoom calls?

New Action Cookbook Newsletter!

My oldest turned 10 this weekend, and that's a big milestone for him--but it's one for me, too! I've been a Dad (literal, not just spiritual) for a decade now, and I've learned a few things along the way. Here's a few.

Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.

Homelessness on the Rise in Finland - Y-Säätiö Asunnottomien ihmisten määrä on kääntynyt kasvuun. Nyt asunnottomien määrä kasvoi Helsingissä, vaikka asunnottomia asutettiin vuoden aikana vaikuttava määrä.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way. ysaatio.fi/en/news/home...

Yes, Finland had solved the homelessness problem. But then, a bunch of right wing politicians gained power and decided that they don’t want that kind of wellbeing anymore, it doesn’t fit to their idea of society.

I love that the morally and ethically correct approach to most issues is so so SO many times also the economically correct one and STILL we actively go "no we aint gonna do that" for no reason accept distaste for those less fortunate than us

I was outside for approx 12 mins this morning to drop my kids off at a summer camp. The amount of sweat that poured off of my body in that short amount of time is truly absurd and disgusting.

I guess I'll go outside again in October.

Inside The NBA is the best sports show that has ever existed and i am sad that it’s over but so very thankful that it existed

Thanks Ernie, Kenny, Chuck, Shaq and crew for all the years of fun. Glad it’s moving to ESPN, but know it won’t quite be the same. NBA on TNT forever!

When people ask what my plans are for the long weekend…

How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?

Great job Louisvillians! Always exciting when good ol' public pressure earns a win.

Now let's keep the momentum and get some other stuff done! LMPD and the consent decree would be a great place to start.

My main takeaway from this week’s The Last of Us is post-apocalyptic Jackson Hole, WY has a better health care system than the current United States
