you used to be able to trick it by asking for the voice of "a speaker at a republican political rally" - and when you did that, it did do at least as well as James Austin Johnson. i'm sure the actual white house has access to a chatbot without a "don't mimic trump" override.
I really think it's just the elbow - "pain tolerance" only goes so far when pitching form is so important. Hopefully good to go next year
Aren't the top 20 lacrosse players all from rich I-95 suburbs?
A loss to 9-4 Miami is going to be annoying on the resume
meanwhile 7-Eleven gets mad when i reach to the bottom of the pile of cookies to get the ones baked today instead of buying the ones baked two days ago.
"Rutgers needs to stop letting all of NJ's best football and WBB players go to Notre Dame" is, indeed, true for them.
the Long Island "Rail Road" carries passengers from Penn Station to their homes "on" Long Island.
Garrett is spinning a yarn, no doubt
Umpire/referee? Unfortunately has some time and equipment overhead for newcomers
the plows show up on a lot of local flags/seals, but i never like any flag reform proposals that rely on them. the horse head is funny, but would be hard to incorporate into a new flag on purpose. i love the buff backdrop!
Stanek barely qualifies as a "real reliever" but otherwise yes. why don't they let the position players throw hard anymore??
Remember when Desi Relaford would come in and pump 90mph at the knees? (I hate what "position players pitching" has become)
they've done a bad job making sure the federal holidays are full of baseball games in recent years... but this year 7/4 is on a saturday!
if they keep the two-city markets separate and maintain the general feel of the AL and NL, there's a chance they could improve things. (the current "play all 30 teams" schedule is possibly the worst schedule rubric in baseball history)... but it could also get much worse!
i can't relate to the split rivalry thing as a Mets fan - i know the introduction of the Nationals gummed things up, as did Houston's move to the AL (and subsequent onset of daily interleague play). i do like 4-6 Yankees games per year but otherwise don't like interleague at all.
everyone else's "natural rival" made sense, and this is what was left. a relic from when "Interleague Play" was a limited engagement, with all rivalry series taking place at around the same time. (they couldn't do the "split rival" thing for this one like [TOR or BOS] vs [ATL or PHI])
oh no, what is every deli in North Jersey going to do?
Am I reading that correctly? Fares doubled and that's all it did to ridership?
not to be confused with "Bergen Town Center" across Rt 4...
the videos are deliberate but i also don't think this poor guy is feigning his ignorance.
trump very clearly sees any attempt to hold a criminal head of state accountable as a threat to his own standing

"completely overtaken by bad thing" (Adolph quadrant) vs "completely overtaken by good thing" (Kermit, Grover)
the right has long labored under the misconception that ordinary liberals have always hated them and their way of life with a burning passion, something which is only just now becoming true
the last time they hosted was when Colombia withdrew. that tournament had half as many games, and they had 3 years notice to organize the tournament. (as for these days - where does the Mexican federation host most of their international matches? hint: Not Mexico.)
i started taking the subway by myself when i was 14. the Post was very worried about "pushings" that year. (plus ça change?) but it was so overwhelmingly normal. the M35 bus, on the other hand, would make these Fox freaks blush but that was also fine.
I will absolutely not vote for him in a primary.
Canada was supposed to have more venues but cities kept backing out.
There are 78 matches scheduled for the US and 13 each for Canada and Mexico. Canada and Mexico are NOT prepared to triple their number of games, plus provide training camps for 45 additional teams. They are NOT going to stage a Canada/Mexico only world cup in one year.
running forums are full of police cadets who want to figure out how to train to run 18 minutes for (isn't it usually 1.5 miles?)... which isn't fast, but certainly better than a 18 minute mile.
On one hand yes. on the other hand, the general discourse environment matters.
There is clearly demand for someone to tell Donald Trump to fuck himself, and someone who is not Newsom should take heed.
Burt's *was* a small outfit until they were acquired, but yeah to the rest of this. My favorite thing in this category is that the NY Times needed to explain what a bagel was as late as 1946 archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....
the problem with twitter isn’t “there’s a lot of mean and racist stuff” the problem with twitter is that it’s an algorithmic fascism promotion machine
i'm told he did (i was in the upper deck at this game, you couldn't see much)
😩
Plenty of evidence that he's consumed some alcohol ++ no comment on various drugs. Does he look like an especially healthy man?
i thought it was interesting (and Apple lets you patch in the radio feed anyway)
listening to this Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz interview... interesting to hear from the other two (as much as i specifically hate Glavine), but i don't think Smoltz likes baseball.
"Countless niche sports" is one way to describe the NHL
I like to visit my family and attend Mets games, it's not that deep.
No
Ok, so I'm at a ticket machine at Penn Station buying LIRR tickets to go to the Mets game. (This is something I actually do frequently, since I live in New Jersey). They do faregate enforcement at Mets-Willets Point, so there is no evading the fare. What should I do?
If you want to see slapdick ticket collection, come to New Jersey. the LIRR is very thorough.
No it's not - the proposal is "the ticket is active the second you buy it, for both the app and paper tickets. No matter the medium, it expires in exactly four hours." This has no parallel in the transit world.
LIRR has lots of high-paid staff doing very aggressive fare enforcement, and I'd gather they do collect almost every fare despite the cost. On-platform validation would be a good upgrade but this new proposal is very bad.
plus the novelty of a knuckleballer with his backstory (his memoir was published right before the season - in the intro, he said he'd never lead the league in strikeouts. Lie!). the next year, it was Kershaw or Harvey to start the All-Star Game (at Citi Field, so it was Harvey)
Eight teams spend in this league, let's put four of them in one division! This is like the 1967 NHL alignment with the original six on one side and six expansion teams on the other
Don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen! (I do use "it's not rocket surgery")
I didn't realize they had Dominos near me until one time my neighbor across the street ordered a 10pm sunday night pizza to my address, I assume by mistake because it had his name on it.
Obviously
not sure why you're so certain about the "each app will persist" thing... YES and MSG Networks merged their app. you can buy one, the other, or both networks inside this one app. if you don't buy one of the networs, they put a little lock next to their programs.
jacked Mr. Met remains an abomination and we shouldn't be afraid to say it!
It's bad enough that Keith Raad is a Chamimade guy...
Just gonna say it: people say it was Grimace, but the 2024 Mets season really turned around when they played that ESPN gimmick series in London.
Sarbaugh has been overcompensating for that non-send for a week now.
The fact that he actually did a sick one made it funnier!
Lmfao
I didn't get this exactly right, the other response did, acknowledging but not deleting lol
They put him in with a five-run deficit, then the Mets whittled it down to two runs and they sent them back out again
I'd honestly say less pressure. Season is over.
"unintended" consequences aren't usually immediately evident
I assume you've watched the commercials the affiliates run on Jeopardy!...
Did any network deploy an independent translator or did they all rely on the state department
what an image
I desperately need this Luis Castillo to drop a pop-up
Mets are going to finish under .500
glad the bullpen saved senga from having to finish 6 innings!!!
That's the Mishawaka Hooters underneath
I'm still really mad about the fourth inning last night.
Still three guys
Different situation but I also like Strider
"not live up to expectations" - on what planet were the "expectations" to beat PSG in the Supercup??
“Water - people complain about drowning in it, but nobody ever talks about how helpful it is for making rice.”
I miss the days when position player pitchers would try.
The other thing is more likely but he has that route too
There are some bullshit polls, nobody else is "running" in any meaningful way but he's most likely until someone else bothers to chip at him. that plus "VP to old guy"
7050 seems to be just the UPS Store, he probably just has a box there
Mets, Yankees and Cubs all in freefall is enough to reinforce this
between the line of succession and his status as most likely (polymarket) to win the next R nomination, he is by far the most likely individual to be the next president.
is Gary Cohen really surprised by "Nacho" being short for Ignacio? is this why everyone freaks out about Enrique Hernandez?
Hopefully their YouTube feed is monitized? We'll spend a Friday night just playing Tiny Desk videos (and similar from WFUV, KEXP, the Current, etc.)
SALT cap was pretty based (he writes from his home in suburban North Jersey)
Yeah it's easy enough to have Just Two schedules for just one of the Series (the last one)
The post said the tracks would go NEAR the grave, not THROUGH it. We don't need to entertain cranks. My grandparents are buried against the train track side of All Faiths Cemetery and I think the IBX is cool as hell
Now that the Mets season is over, can we sit Lindor and let him heal his broken foot? He's absolutely not healed, and he's not successfully "playing through it."
You must be bias
so far
This conflation of rent stabilization, rent control, and affordable housing is galling enough before you remember that this fucking guy literally ran HUD
This is the first time I’ve felt good about the Mets in several days, let’s see how long it lasts.
The operator had bad source material and did a bad job with it
Red Zone also gives you broadcasts you can't get without the very expensive Sunday Ticket plan, for college most people can simply flip over to most games
Always handicapped by the fact that they could never include the 3:30 SEC game or any ND home game, now there are even more non-ESPN channels to worry about
I know two artists on the fourth line of their day or lower. The fact that one of them is Rebecca Black, though.....
Natives did not make the conscious choice to move to New York City!! Why is this hard?
