Probably got delayed 20 mins but hey, that’s life. I was more fascinated than annoyed but still, it’s wild to be stuck like 2-3 mins away from Penn Station for way longer than the commute usually is.

First for everything. Stuck on a Jersey transit train because of engine failure. Another medal achieved in the NY/NJ bingo, I suppose.

It’s hard being a UCLA fan but that game……yeah. Wow. Didn’t see that coming.

Didn’t see Penn State looking like that after Oregon bossed them.

Don't worry about society's standards expectations for what to do or be at 30. Walk your own path and trust yourself.

Stretch often.

Treasure your friends but don't be afraid if you don't see them as much. If the bonds are strong, they'll continue even with distance.

I like how you said it - there's a warmth in Alanis' songs (most of em) that bring you in and keep you there. I still love all these singles from JLP a ton and this one always feels perfectly 90s in the right way.

Says a lot about baseball that its two best players are in LA and NY and yet, they're not more famous than they should be. I just think about how many mid-tier 90s players felt famous and yet Ohtani (and esp. Judge) don't feel that way. I know the reasons why. But still...

This was my 1st Taylor album I heard and the column summed up a lot what I felt. Liked Cardigan. Loved the vibes with Aaron Dessner. A sense of going left field & taking a risk. Perfect for 2020. I may never hear it again b/c I was in a rough mindspace the day I did. But it's great, esp. Exile.

Most multi-homer games, Yankees history:

Babe Ruth: 68
Aaron Judge: 46
Mickey Mantle: 46
Lou Gehrig: 43

My latest for The New York Times, on the legendary session musician Carol Kaye. The outspoken 90-year-old is being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame this fall. With thoughts on Kaye's career from Paul McCartney, Kathy Valentine & more. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/a...

I always liked this song a bit more b/c I didn't hear it as much as Iris. But I can see from stuff you've written on leading up to this where alternative music was going through another sea change to lead to what I remember more around 98-02

Just watched it now. If anybody wondered how famous Don was in the mid 80s, that video says it a lot. That’s a big production even for MTV.

Didn’t realize that was Zappa’s kid

If I recall seeing clips, he sold the heck out of it haha

Right. Like I forgot Hallee Stenfield had a music career after True Grit, before Sinners. Even in the 2000s we had folks trying it - Paris tried. Brooke Hogan tried. Now we just have the old method of singers trying to act

HA! That infamous song title hahaha. I didn't know that was popular around your way

It's a shame. That story is really cool on its own (all-time HS defense, right?) but the added stuff turned it into some Disney-ified feel-good race story. Same reason I've never seen Glory Road again after the 1st time cause I knew even then some stuff was inaccurate

See y'all in October. HIM is ready.

*even if I don't think the Dodgers bullpen is........

It's that time of year where people have to be educated how inaccurate that movie is. I still love it but man....when you and some other folks dropped knowledge about it, it's hard to see it the same way.

I can imagine. I was just thinking about how silly it was that MTV had anybody thinking they could sing and do a video. As ridiculous as Eddie was, Don was even wilder trying it with that song.

When Eddie thought he could do anything because he was a superstar. And it gave Rick James had the biggest hit of his career

Happy 40th to the song that almost gave Eddie Murphy a No 1 pop hit

Also, nice of the NFL to have me and Patrick Mahomes spend our birthday weekend in New Jersey after we had birthdays Wednesday.

30 was a good year for me. Maybe it will be for him after Mahomes had a great 20s.

Lot of Kansas City fans in the building tonight. Between the Giants and KC, somebody will be Moses parting the Red Sea. Or somebody at 0-3 will drown in it like Pharaoh.

Enjoy Sunday Night football

One of my favorite songwriters/producers/guitar players alive and 1 of the most influential musicians of my lifetime. So thankful Nile keeps bringing the funk and keeping things Chic. Happy birthday, legend.

You flatter me too much brother. But I admire you as a real one to deny. Thank you fam.

Chapter 41. Wild to say but here we are. Another birthday. Another year to be grateful for and another year to be grateful from.

Good offense, bad defense or a little of both? 0-2 Giants don't have an identity Uneven performances have resulted in another 0-2 start.

After two games, the Giants have been wildly inconsistent. Good defense in Week 1, Great offense in week 2, but not great at the same time.

Jekyll & Hyde? Split personality? At 0-2 will the real Giants stand up at their home opener Sunday? They know they have to

📺 September 14, 1990: "Tiny Toon Adventures" premiered as a primetime special on CBS. Three days later, the animated series about the next generation of Looney Tunes characters at Acme Looniversity began in weekday syndication. It lasted three seasons.

This is interesting cause whew...I'm being reminded again what were "hits" in 2020 that I don't remember. But I do remember this dude's fall more than his music and it's wild b/c rarely does a fall like that happen and stay down in these times.

Buffalo News photographer Josh Bessex's shot of the DeAndre Hopkins touchdown:

Apparently Bluesky isn’t letting me upload videos. So no clips of the Giants’ fits for Week 1.

Russell Wilson came through with a blue suit ahead of his Giants debut.
