It was all in good fun, sending pizzas to that mean teacher, he said
Moving fast and breaking things, it's all fun and games till someone loses an eye

If the Yankees get swept, it will be 100% because of this. Funniest baseball curse ever.

Amazing how bad he's been. Both ways

I'm not a fan of the Dodgers or Kershaw but I felt bad for people who are that last night's slightly trumped-up (oops) tribute was on Apple TV, trying to act like they belonged.

Thanks! Wish I'd known sooner

Just watched the MLB TV bio of Lindor and was that bittersweet! So many of 2024's best moments, also in the shot are Bader & Iglesias, now thriving with other teams. In 2025, the Mets' vibe is gone. As the emotional Lindor goes, so go the Mets, and right now he's not going. Blame Soto? The owner?

Preventable. As with Department of War, Departments of Health and Human Services at federal and state levels must change their names to Departments of Disease and Inhumane Practices.

Thank you for the amazing photo of Agnes Moorehead. Wow.
I thought you perhaps were asking for a word to describe one's fury with anyone who would make a cartoon of a masterpiece that used all the inherent richness of physical film. (Then I thought: Is there a script, a shot list of the original?)

You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.

ICE releases statements but not falsely imprisoned human. beings

OK, but you are probably not a fan of either of the teams playing. Unbearable broadcast, especially with Manfred droning on as my Mets load the bases but fail to score; had to mute. They don't trust baseball to be good enough television.

My take is that the stock market, mystifyingly high, is still Biden's stock market; some of his achievements have not yet come to fruition (others will claim credit). I think Wall Streeters are trading like crazy while they can, short term, knowing Trump policies may yet crash the world.

I think this is the first time I haven't had to look it up, the first time I felt it. And I'm gonna say that's a good thing, thanks

Perhaps he could get a show on MSNBC?

How the curve ball, which President Eliot considered cheating, got its nickname.
And, even without Ron Darling in the booth, Yale got namedropped as well, speculatively.
Of course, Gary Cohen is an Ivy Leaguer, too.
But I don't hold it against him.

So I read "a road map for Democrats"and hoped this was just another case of a headline writer putting his own -- or his bosses' -- spin on a story. But no, the patronizing tone recurs in the text, which accuses "The Left" of purity tests while finding whiffs of anti-Jewish bias that isn't there.

Sheldon: Ketanji is right.

"the cult of centrism"..."as long as looking balanced matters more than baseline reality, the Times will continue its shoddy reporting" -- I enjoyed this, but the successful warping of supposedly sane US journalism by rightwing crazies (crazy like a Fox) is not at all enjoyable.

Sounds great. Can't wait.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents arrested me.

Now, he’s threatening to put @zohrankmamdani in a prison camp he’s building in a Florida swamp.

It’s frightening. It’s essential to fight back. It makes me proud of how New Yorkers voted last week – and how we’ll vote again in November.

I reposted without comment what you wrote about expecting no apologies from the Mamdani slimers because I agreed with you. Was that wrong? Is that reskeeting? If so, I apologize. Is it because it attracts trollers' attention to you? How about if I had reposted it without attribution to you?
