Scherzer still going and Ohtani getting rocked shows you need hate in your heart.

Judge wouldn’t have given up that homer.

Right now I feel like a high leverage relief pitcher but the manager has me throw multiple innings every day with the promise of a lucrative contract. But instead, after my arm practically falls off, I’ll be sent down to the minors or even cut.

​A mall in Kharkiv is packed for a Halloween costume contest, filled with people who live in a city where bombings are routine. They live where sleepless nights from explosions are just a fact of life, not a reason to cancel plans, and where death always lurks just out of sight.

He Survived the Invasion. What He Really Wanted Was a Friend.

This is a powerful and heartbreaking story. My fear is that as the oligarchs raid our news resources, there will be fewer and fewer of these. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/w...

Game 7 of the World Series is tonight, and it is the best thing in sports. Column, free at ESPN, on how baseball’s ultimate do-or-die scenario turns the game into a supercharged version of itself and is the ultimate test of urgency, strategy and will: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

Carney Says He Apologized to Trump Over Ad Reviving Reagan’s Tariff Criticism

There are scores of people whose bullshit I have had enough of.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Started the new @jeffpearlman.bsky.social biography of Tupac last night and flew through it. The portrait of his mother is so gripping. Learned a ton.

Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape.

I've wanted to see more of this for a long time. And I'd love to know if there is any longitudinal data that could tell us whether the public has become less informed over the years.

“Our Lady on Monroe” is better than most on this compilation. #SpringsteenSongsUpdatedRankings

“Don’t Ask Me Why” is a great example of how a simple arrangement and spectacular lyrics can make a truly great song. #BillyJoelSongRankings

“The Lost Charro” is going for the same sound as much of this collection and again, I’m over it. #SpringsteenSongsUpdatedRankings

“Sometimes a Fantasy” is evocative of its circa 1980 release in terms of style but I really like it! #BillyJoelSongRankings

What a pathetic stooge.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

The studio hated The Departed, especially that everyone dies. They wanted a franchise & leaned on Scorsese to change the ending. Scorsese said, 'You came to me with this script where everyone dies. That's one thing I really loved about it. Then you asked me - ME! - to do it. What did you expect?!'

Hi, It’s Me, Wikipedia, and I Am Ready for Your Apology “Wikipedia, the constantly changing knowledge base created by a global free-for-all of anonymous users, now stands as the leading force for the dum...

"In 2004, you saw some college guy using me and thought, 'What a lazy cheater.'

Now you’d think, 'At least he’s not asking Gemini.'

In a few years, you’ll say, 'Wow, look, a human being who can read.'"

Just want to take this moment to say how much I really appreciated the Stanton-Nelson-Rivera bullpen of the 90's Yankees dynasty.

When we fully account for the horrible things this Supreme Court has done, I hope special attention is paid to Alito and Gorsuch’s jurisprudence on the death penalty. They have rendered the ban cruel and unusual punishment an effective dead letter, leading to horrific outcomes in this state.

More of the same from “Aztec Dance.” This continues to be a wildly disappointing collection. #SpringsteenSongsUpdatedRankings

I listen to the Sirius channel “Pop Rocks” a lot and “You May Be Right” perfectly captures its mission. The first song on “Glass Houses,” it’s a perfect pop song with a bit of an edge. #BillyJoelSongRankings

Here's my full interview with Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com.

would personally love to know what justice gorsuch thinks about this

“Adelita” is fine but it’s also clear once again why all this material was never released before. #SpringsteenSongsUpdatedRankings

We close out “52nd Street” with the title track which is rather mediocre and undistinguished. #BillyJoelSongRankings

Donald Trump’s Deep-State Wrecking Ball Russell Vought is using the White House budget office to lay waste to the federal bureaucracy—firing workers, decimating agencies, and testing the rule of law.

Russell Vought is a monstrous fascist.
